Documentary director suggests Kohberger's choice of women’s house hints at motive

In the Netflix series examining the 2022 University of Idaho murders, director Skye Borgman contends that Bryan Kohberger’s decision to attack a rental house populated entirely by women points to a possible hatred of women. She references testimonies from former classmates who described him as condescending, argumentative, and often making women feel uncomfortable. Additional accounts describe his unwelcome advances toward female bartenders and an incident at an exotic-dance club where he allegedly expressed a desire to kill people.

While an FBI special agent said investigators found no definitive proof of his involvement in the incel community, his online behavior was noted as well concealed. Borgman emphasizes that the central mystery—Kohberger’s motive—remains unanswered, leaving victims’ families to focus on honoring their loved ones rather than seeking further explanations.
