- Bryan Kohberger allegedly stalked two undergraduate students at Washington State University, showing up to their workplace “every day,” according to Idaho State Police reports
- Both women said that they later heard or were informed of someone watching them through a window just outside their homes
- Kaylee Goncalves, one of Kohberger’s four murder victims, also reported that a man had been stalking her prior to her murder
Two women told police they suspected Bryan Kohberger was stalking them while attending Washington State University, before he murdered four University of Idaho students.
Two female college students told officers with the Idaho State Police that Kohberger would make “daily” visits to see them at work, according to copies of their interviews obtained by PEOPLE.
Then the two women started getting unexpected visits at their homes.
The first woman was an employee at the WSU bookstore who said Kohberger “seemed very used to being put off by women.”
She told police that in August or September of 2022, “She was home alone one night, changing in her room, and someone knocked on her window.”
The woman then called her husband and the person ran off, she said.
Then, it happened again.
“Another time, after she had started working she heard someone moving around on her porch at approximately 7:00 in the evening. Her husband came home again and saw a white car leaving the area,” the report read.
Kohberger drove a white Hyundai Elantra.
Kohberger also seemed to have researched her, she said, knowing personal details about her that she never volunteered to the former criminology student.
He once came in and asked for her by name, she told police, adding that she was “certain she never told Kohberger her name, and she doesn’t wear a name tag.”
Kohberger even knew “what hours she worked and made remarks about her hours.”

The other student allegedly stalked by Kohberger worked in the criminology department with him, but was an undergraduate.
That student declined Kohberger’s advances and informed him she was a lesbian, she told police, but that did not stop him from constantly seeking her out at work, seeing him “almost daily.”
The report also said that she was told “she was not the first person to have problems with Kohberger.”
She recalled one night she was working late and saw Kohberger “walking outside as she was locking up.”
According to the report: “Kohberger made eye contact with her when she looked out, which seemed strange because you would have to be looking directly at the window where she worked to make eye contact.”
She told police she had been getting ready to lock up at the time, and eventually ran and hid in a bathroom to avoid Kohberger when she saw him enter the building.
Then one day she got a phone call from a neighbor who said they “saw someone very close outside her window and to make sure to lock the door.”
Soon after this, she learned that “she lived fairly close to Kohberger.”
A fellow classmate of Kohberger’s also recalled an incident when she felt someone was outside her window and soon after found “snow footprints leading to the back window of her apartment.”
That classmate noted that “whoever had left the footprints had backtracked within the tracks.”
She also told police that another classmate heard someone trying to open the door to their home a few weeks prior to that incident.
Kaylee Goncalves also felt as though she was being watched and stalked in the weeks before she was murdered alongside two of her roommates and one roommate’s boyfriend.
One of the former roommates at the Moscow home where the victims were murdered on Nov. 13, 2022, told police she thought someone might harm her friends.
“She thought it was someone who was watching. She was always afraid of that. She always had an uneasy, weird feeling at the house, which is one of the reasons why she didn’t want to go back,” the report said.
