Kohberger, who long denied the murders, changed his innocent plea to guilty on all charges as part of a plea deal which allowed him to escape the death penalty.
Afterwards, he was sentenced to life in prison and faced the victim’s families during their victim impact statements.
As more and more information came out about the man behind such horrific murders, one woman chose to speak up about a chilling time she spent with him and revealed the scary question he asked her which sent alarm bells ringing in her head.
Just weeks before the murders, the woman had matched with him on a dating site and called into the police tip line in March of last year to tell her story.
As per a police report released by Idaho’s Moscow Police Department, she said she recognized Kohberger after matching with him on Tinder in September or October 2022, and she revealed how he had mentioned using a Ka-Bar knife to commit a murder.
The woman told police that Kohberger told her he was a criminology student at Washington State University, and they had made plans to meet over Christmas break when he came home.
However, Kohberger traveled to his parents’ home in Pennsylvania that Christmas, where he was then arrested for the murders.
She explained how the pair’s conversations circled around her own friend’s murder in her town that happened a few years prior, as well as what horror movies she enjoyed.
“To this, [the woman] said Kohberger asked what she thought would be the worst way to die,” lead detective Brett Payne wrote in the report.
When the woman stated the worst way would be with a knife, she said Kohberger asked, ‘like a Ka Bar?’
A Ka Bar knife is a large combat knife, which is what authorities claim was ultimately used by Kohberger to murder the four students.
During the trial, prosecutors claimed Kohberger purchased the knife, sheath and sharpener online in March 2022, and during an examination of the crime scene, a Ka-Bar sheath, containing his DNA, was found next to one the student’s bodies.
The woman also told detectives that she didn’t know what a Ka-Bar is and did her own research on it.
That’s when she decided to stop talking to Kohberger ‘because his questions made her uncomfortable’.
After he was arrested, she recognized his face and remembered the conversation about the Ka Bar, leading her to seek out police.
However, Payne said he could not provide proof to her story she no longer had access to her Tinder account couldn’t get her user ID.
Payne also said he reached out to Tinder about the woman, but they stated there were no records associated with the information the woman had provided.
