Bryan Kohberger may have been motivated by sexual 'arousal' and 'hatred' of four Idaho college students he's accused of knifing to death, experts told Fox News Digital.
But the victims were allegedly in Kohberger's sights long before his Instagram messages were ignored.
The victims of Nov. 13 University of Idaho massacre, from left to right: Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen. "You can't project normal motives to a killer like this," he said."Kohberger was an awkward person, disconnected, on the fringes and margins and not well-adjusted to society."The victims had a large social media presence and attracted a lot of attention online, Swecker noted.
"This was [Kohberger's] way of possessing those women and having total control," Swecker noted of the killings.
