A new documentary argues that Bryan Kohberger’s choice of a University of Idaho house largely occupied by women could help explain the motive behind the 2022 killings. The article says Kohberger has not publicly explained his motive, leaving the selection of the house as one of the case’s central unanswered questions.

The house had five women living in it, according to the filmmaker quoted, although Xana Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, was visiting on the night of the murders. Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students, but the article presents the theory about his alleged focus on women as interpretation rather than an established fact.
