ACCUSED psycho killer Bryan Kohberger spent years in college studying how to pull off the perfect crime before he was busted for the savage slaughter of four University of Idaho students, according to sources who say the pompous egghead’s real-life missteps helped police crack the case!
L.A. private eye Paul Huebl believes Kohberger — who insists he’s innocent — likely employed what he learned while studying for a doctorate in the Washington State University criminal justice program to try to throw investigators off the scent.
But the book-smart suspect wasn’t bright enough to escape the law, according to the former Chicago cop turned gumshoe.
“This guy seemed to make a chess game out of the killings,” Huebl says. “He used all of what he was taught in school. But I think he was somewhat arrogant because he’s got degrees. He figures he knows everything and could get away with it. But there is a big difference between sitting in the classroom learning about criminology and pulling off an actual crime.”
Kohberger, 28, was collared on Dec. 30 for the brutal homicides of Idaho students Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20 — nearly seven weeks after their slashed corpses were discovered in a blood-soaked off-campus rental.
According to cops, Kohberger broke into the rural Moscow home on Nov. 13 with murder on his mind and used a Rambo-style military knife to kill the college kids in their beds!
