Bryan Kohberger Behind Bars: Peculiar Habits of Idaho Murderer Revealed by Inmate By Chris Spargo

Bryan Kohberger managed to keep a low profile while awaiting his murder trial, despite being the most notorious criminal at the Latah County Jail.

This is according to a report filed by Cpl. Brett Payne of the Moscow Police Department, who detailed Kohberger’s behavior behind bars after speaking with an inmate who had been housed in the same cell as the murderer.

That inmate said Kohberger had a number of habits he found “annoying” but noted he never witnessed any animosity or anger from his cellmate, with the exception of a single incident that enraged Kohberger.

He also noted that Kohberger was “highly intelligent and polite” but never once spoke about the murders he would eventually confess to in court.

At the same time, said the inmate, Kohberger would often ask his fellow incarcerees to tell him about the offenses that landed them in jail.

The inmate told Cpl. Payne that Kohberger’s bathing habits were difficult to deal with at times because he would spend anywhere from “45 minutes to an hour in the shower” and then wash his hands “dozens of times” throughout the day.

Kohberger spent about as much time showering as he did sleeping, according to the inmate, who said he would not only be “awake all night” but also constantly “moving around” the cell.

The only time that inmate did see Kohberger exhibit any sort of anger or violence was after he mistakenly assumed someone in the jail had been insulting him as he spoke on the phone with his mother.

That individual had been watching a sporting event at the time and yelled “you suck” at the television, prompting Kohberger to “aggressively” approach the man and ask if his comments were directed at him and his mother.

The situation was quickly resolved once the two men talked things out, per the report.

Kohberger is now in the custody of the Idaho Department of Corrections waiting to receive his prison placement.
