## Resource

"Mark my words — if we give him a Ph.D., that's the guy that in that many years when he is a professor, we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students." That's what a WSU professor reportedly told colleagues about Bryan Kohberger while he was still on campus. Female students and staff developed informal warning systems — alerting each other when he was present, arranging escorts after 5 p.m., leaving doors open because they feared being trapped alone with him. At least 13 formal complaints were filed about his behavior in one semester. The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have moved their lawsuit against Washington State University to federal court. The claim: the university had threat assessment protocols, received documented warnings, and allowed Kohberger to keep his position, housing, and salary until four people were murdered ten miles from campus. Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer analyzes what this lawsuit exposes about institutional failure — what documented internal foreknowledge means for civil liability, what the move to federal jurisdiction changes, and what discovery might reveal about how badly WSU failed. #BryanKohberger #WSULawsuit #IdahoMurders #KayleeGoncalves #MadisonMogen #XanaKernodle #EthanChapin #TitleIX #InstitutionalFailure #JenniferCoffindaffer Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
