## Resource

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin are suing Washington State University for allegedly knowing Bryan Kohberger was dangerous and doing nothing. Thirteen complaints in one semester. Security escorts for terrified women. A professor who warned colleagues he'd become a predator. And according to the lawsuit, WSU's biggest concern was getting sued by the stalker. We're answering your questions — and connecting this case to two others that expose the same systemic rot. Nick Reiner allegedly killed his parents Rob and Michele after years of failed rehab, a schizophrenia diagnosis, and a mental health system that couldn't contain what everyone saw coming. Michael McKee allegedly drove 300 miles to murder his ex-wife Monique Tepe and her husband Spencer — a seven-month marriage that became an eight-year obsession because domestic violence protections couldn't stop a man who decided his ex couldn't be happy. Three cases. Three different failures. Universities that don't act. Mental health systems that don't intervene. Restraining orders that don't protect. Your questions about Title IX, enabling, coercive control, and what accountability actually looks like when institutions choose self-preservation over the people they're supposed to serve. #BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #NickReiner #MichaelMcKee #InstitutionalFailure #TrueCrime Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
