Did Bryan Kohberger Attend Vigil for Idaho College Murder Victims? Viral Photos Spark Massive Online Debate

Some online sleuths think mass killing suspect Bryan Kohberger might be identified in photographs shot during a vigil for the four University of Idaho students he allegedly killed.

The eagle-eyed internet users speculate that a man like the 28-year-old suspect can be spotted in a video captured during a campus vigil on November 30.

Bryan Kohberger Stalked the Victims at Least 12 Times

Clips that have been seen thousands of times and uploaded online have many Twitter users wondering if the man with the blue jacket walking through the service is Kohberger.

The allegation generated controversy with some suggesting the "blue coat guy" seemed to be older than Kohberger. Others refuted the hypothesis on the grounds that the murder suspect's hairline and side profile differ from the one portrayed.

Per NY Post, others posted side-by-side images of the man in the video and courtroom photographs of Kohberger, alleging that the side profiles are an identical match.

A man resembling Bryan Kohberger is spotted during a vigil on November 30. Victim Kaylee Concalves' father earlier recognized the likeliness that his daughter's killer would show up at her vigil. Kohberger is also suspected of commenting about the case in a Facebook forum using the nickname "Pappa Rodger."

Jennifer Coffindaffer, a former FBI agent, claimed one of the remarks made by that account seemed to imply Kohberger was behind the account. Authorities did discover a knife sheath at the scene of the murder, but it was not made public until after Kohberger's arrest on December 30.

The brief footage, which has been seen over 69,000 times, depicts a man in a blue jacket wandering innocuously across the football stadium's middle. Since Kohberger's indictment, the same Twitter user has produced a video matching images of the guy on the field to recent images of Kohberger.

Multiple individuals asserted that it seemed to be Kohberger, which sparked heated debate in the comments section. The video became viral because it was claimed that Kohberger joined internet discussion groups discussing the horrific killings, as per Daily Mail.

In an archive regarding the two online identities that participated in discussions about the violent slayings, both users precisely described the timing of the murders and the discovery of a knife sheath before the information was made public.

Each user appeared to frequently assert that their hypotheses were correct, and both were accused of being genuine killers in their respective communities. Coffindaffer appeared to sympathize with those who felt that at least one of the accounts belonged to the 28-year-old Kohberger, who maintains his innocence.

The inspection of the internet discussion groups follows the denial of bail for Kohberger and the revelation by prosecutors that his DNA was detected on the knife sheath adjacent to the body of one of the victims.

Idaho Murder Victims' Roommate Didn't Call 911

This week, Bryan Kohberger had his first court appearance in Moscow and his affidavit was made public, revealing chilling information about the slayings.

The affidavit says that the 28-year-old Ph.D. student in criminology was linked to the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin after his DNA was discovered on a knife sheath left at the crime site by the perpetrator.

Kohberger appears to have stalked the residence at least twelve times prior to the November 13, 2022 attack, and he returned to the scene of the crime around five hours after the attack.

It was revealed for the first time that one of the two surviving roommates heard his horrific final words to the victims: "I'll help you."

Dylan Mortensen said to police spotted an intruder in the Moscow residence at 4:00 a.m., but she did not dial 911 until eight hours passed. A lawyer for the Goncalves family said that Mortensen was "rightfully terrified."

Meanwhile, Kohberger's classmates in criminology informed the Idaho Statesman that he would remain silent when the topic of murder was brought up in class, The Independent reported.
