KEY POINTS

  • Bryan Kohberger moved to student housing meant for families in August
  • Kohberger usually vacuumed at around midnight, according to a neighbor
  • Investigators are yet to uncover the suspect's motives

Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger allegedly never slept and did not look that tough to be able to kill, according to his neighbor who wished to remain anonymous.

"It seemed like he never slept because he was always doing something all night," the neighbor told the New York Post, "I don't know how he could've killed people because he doesn't look that tough."

According to Kohberger's neighbor, the suspect moved in to the student housing facility usually meant for Ph.D. students with families in August.

"At first, he moved in by himself, and we thought his family would come later, but he lived there alone," she said, adding that Kohberger usually went to the bathroom and vacuumed his apartment at 1 in the morning or 12 midnight.

His neighbors said they were in complete shock when their upstairs neighbor was named as the suspect in the murders of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, in November.

"We are all Ph.D. students here, so it takes a lot of hard work and smarts to get to this point. You don't think someone like that could do something like this."

Another resident who lived nearby told Fox News that Kohberger kept a low profile.

"I'd see him go check his mail, that was it. Other than that, I've only seen him like twice the whole time, and I've lived here since July 2021," Justin Williams, a 34-year-old employee at the Washington State University (WSU) who lives in an adjacent building to Kohberger, said.

The 28-year-old suspect was recently arrested in his parents' home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, and was charged with four counts of first-degree murder, as well as felony burglary in connection with the stabbing deaths of the four victims, according to Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson, as reported by CNN.

Investigators, however, are yet to uncover the suspect's motive. The murder weapon has also not been located, but police recovered a Hyundai Elantra that was reportedly in the area when the students were killed.

Monroe County Chief Public Defender Jason LaBar, who is representing Kohberger for his extradition hearing in Pennsylvania, said that Kohberger and his parents were shocked by the arrest.

Details regarding the arrest and charges filed will only be revealed after a probable cause affidavit is unsealed, according to a CBS News report.
