() On the eve of Bryan Kohberger’s sentencing to life in prison for murdering four Idaho college students, new details have emerged about the night he was arrested and what unfolded with authorities.

Laura Collins, investigative reporter and host of The Daily Mail’s “On The Case: The Idaho Murders,” told “Banfield” on Tuesday that Kohberger’s attitude toward officers was egotistical.

“Quite remarkably, he suggested to one of the officers, ‘I’m a criminology student, perhaps we can get a cup of coffee after this?'” Collins said.

“Just showing no real understanding, or perhaps complete denial, dissociation, or maybe just ego that he thought he was getting away with this.”

Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania after he fatally stabbed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin at the University of Idaho in 2022. He was found guilty after he confessed in court to killing the four students.

Six weeks after the killings, on the evening Kohberger was arrested which involved helicopters, snipers and a SWAT team his elderly parents were restrained with zip ties and held at gunpoint as he was dragged from the house and placed into custody.

Collins said police were taking no chances.

“And how could they?” she added. “You know, they know that they have this incredibly violent offender within those walls. They don’t know if his parents are going to be supportive of him. They don’t know what pushback they’re going to encounter. It must have been a pretty horrifying situation for the parents, but as you said, they just couldn’t take any chances.”

Questions surrounding Kohberger’s murder weapon and bloody clothes still not being found were also spotlighted by Collins, who says he took a very “circuitous route.”

“In the affidavit, they suggested he was trying to avoid any chance of surveillance cameras, or indeed, maybe passing traffic,” she said.

“I mean, this is a very rural route, very rural road. He popped back up, and his cellphone pinged at 4:48 a.m. He didn’t get home until 5:30 a.m. It’s a nine-mile straight shot from his campus home to the Moscow house where he committed the murders. So there was no reason for it to take so long.”

Along with the cellphone pings, Collins noted there were 10 missing minutes along that route where Kohberger could well have “stopped and disposed of evidence.”

Collins said Kohberger may have disposed of some of his evidence on his escape route, while also getting rid of the knife he used at the edge of Clearwater and Snake rivers.
