() Retired homicide detective Chris McDonough believes Bryan Kohberger wanted to have control during his first interview with police following the November 2022 murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

McDonough, who worked the JonBenet Ramsey and Elizabeth Smart cases, joined “Banfield” on Tuesday to discuss the release of Bryan Kohberger’s arrest records.

According to the police records, Kohberger discussed sports and criminology before the discourse turned to why police were there. Kohberger asked the detective to tell him why.

“Sometimes, these mind games become a way to maintain his control over the conversation as a whole,” McDonough said.

“He also flipped the conversation back to the investigators. That’s a common technique (for) somebody who wants to maintain the dominance over the situation … what he’s saying is, ‘I’m the teacher, you’re the student.'”

McDonough says an interview with someone capable of murdering four people is rarely a “typical interview.”

“You have to understand that you’re not going to be able to get this guy right away to immediately concede to a conversation.”

Instead, McDonough suggested that taking the long game is an advantageous route, observing behavior and the motivation behind their responses.

Kohberger was given four life sentences last Wednesday for the November 2022 murders of Mogen, Goncalves, Kernodle and Chapin, and is being held in the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
