Among the revelations was his disturbing choice of favorite film.

Kohberger disclosed to a fellow prisoner that his favorite film was American Psycho, the 2000 thriller featuring Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman, a self-absorbed murderer fixated on his own image.

The convicted murderer, now 29, is serving life behind bars for the brutal stabbings of four University of Idaho students in November 2022.

Per the records provided by Idaho State Police, an inmate remembered that Kohberger was quick to dive into the television reports about his apprehension upon his arrival at the jail in early January 2023.

“Wow, I’m on every channel,” he reportedly said while flipping through broadcasts.

The man described Kohberger as “highly intelligent and analytical,” though lacking in basic knowledge about ordinary things such as cars.

“His eyes were… creepy, I guess, but other than that, he seemed like a pretty normal guy,” he added.

The inmate said their conversation never touched on the murders, sticking to small talk instead.

But Kohberger’s compulsive cleaning habits were impossible to ignore.

He showered for an hour at a time, washed his hands constantly, and tore through three bars of soap a week, leaving his hands raw.

That first inmate lived alongside him for about three weeks.

A second prisoner confirmed the obsessive routines, saying Kohberger insisted on fresh bedding and clothes every day.

He also revealed was a die-hard Yankees fan and frequently tuned into CourtTV, showing special interest in the Alex Murdaugh trial.

At first, Kohberger devoured every news report about his own case, but would change the channel if his family or friends were mentioned.

The full details of Bryan Kohberger’s sentence

On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following:

  • Count 1: Burglary – 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine.
  • Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 3: First-degree murder of Kaylee Goncalves: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 4: First-degree murder of Xana Kernodle: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.

The sentencings will run consecutively to one another.

Eventually, he stopped watching coverage of the murders altogether.

Other documents released this week also highlighted chilling survivor testimony.

Roommate Dylan Mortensen told police she heard a man say victim Kaylee Goncalves’ name during the massacre.

“It’s okay Kaylee, I’m here for you,” she recalled him saying, followed by crying.

Mortensen later said it could have been Xana Kernodle who was crying, but was certain the killer used Kaylee’s name.

The files also revealed what was found on Kohberger’s phone – shirtless selfies and half-naked images of women.

None of the women were photographed by Kohberger, as the files were cached from online.

Investigators said the self-obsessed shots echoed his fixation with American Psycho, People reported.

Forensic examiner Heather Barnhart described him as “very vain, like American Psycho.”

Kohberger avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty and is now serving four consecutive life sentences in Idaho’s maximum security prison.
