Any tie Bryan Kohberger has to 'Pappa Rodger' could become clear when gag order is lifted

An enigmatic presence surfaced towards the end of 2022 within a Facebook group focused on discussing the Idaho student murder case, disappearing shortly after Kohberger’s arrest on December 30 of that year. This led to widespread speculation about a potential connection between the account and the killer.

As 2022 drew to a close, the account became active in a prominent Facebook group aimed at securing justice for the victims: University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

Authorities have not publicly commented or filed court documents linking Kohberger to the account. However, with the gag order limiting discussion of the case anticipated to lift soon, authorities might address posts from the account, or the public might learn more through unsealed search warrants, discovery disclosures, or digital forensics from Kohberger’s devices.

“At the very least, we might see warrant requests for social media accounts,” said Joshua Ritter, a former Los Angeles prosecutor and host of “Courtroom Confidential.” “Which would indicate they had the same suspicions.”

Rodger killed himself after the murder spree. Kohberger nearly got away with his. Authorities said they didn’t even have his name until more than a month after the murders, after the FBI used investigative genetic genealogy techniques to come up with a new lead based on the single-source DNA sample taken from the Ka-Bar sheath.

Eleven days later, they had Kohberger in handcuffs. 

The plea deal took the potential death penalty off the table. Kohberger is expected to receive four consecutive life prison sentences plus another 10 years at a formal sentencing hearing on July 23. As part of the deal, he waived his right to appeal or seek a sentence reduction.

A hearing on whether the court should lift the gag order before sentencing is scheduled for Thursday.
