Bryan Kohberger’s Sinister Selfie Reveals His True Intentions

by

Kaylee Goncalves’ father is expressing his emotional response to the evidence shown in the forthcoming trial of Bryan Kohberger.

Following the publication of an image believed to be that of the suspect in the trial set for August 11, concerning the tragic deaths in 2022 of Kaylee and three other individuals – Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin – Steve Goncalves shared his reflections on the selfie that also appeared with court documents on March 20.

Steve mentioned during his interview on Fox and Friends on March 21st, ‘I observed someone creating a trophy.’ He’s familiar with the sequence of events, he knows that this person had recently returned to the crime scene and came back. He realized that no one had dialed 911.

In my analysis as a lifestyle expert, I’ve come across an intriguing piece of information. A photograph, obtained from court documents and scrutinized by TopMob News, was taken mere hours following a tragic event. This image captures me, allegedly, standing in front of what seems to be a shower area, offering a thumbs-up gesture towards the camera.

Steve commented on the image, “For him, that’s a small memento to remind him, ‘I managed to escape unnoticed.’

The victim’s father additionally disclosed his interpretation of the other evidence gathered thus far, which encompassed Brian Kohberger’s Amazon shopping records (as detailed in supplementary court documents), pertaining to a knife and sheath.

Steve pointed out that the purchases appeared to be carefully planned, or “deliberately timed.” Over the course of several years, it seemed to him, the individual had been preparing for this moment.

In the preparation for his upcoming trial, prosecutors are seeking permission to present a selfie belonging to Bryan Kohberger as evidence, primarily based on testimony provided by one of the surviving roommates living at the University of Idaho residence where the murders took place. (It’s important to note that all residents residing on the third floor of an off-campus house were killed, leaving two survivors who slept on the second and first floors).

In court documents, Dylan Mortensen (often referred to as D.M.) asserted that she recognized the man suspected of committing a brutal incident at their residence by his distinctive appearance: a ski mask that left only his nose and eyes exposed.

Dylan recalled only noticing their thick, bushy eyebrows when he spoke with authorities, as stated in the court records. His mind was fixated on this detail,” or simply, “According to court documents, Dylan recollected seeing just their bushy eyebrows while talking to authorities.

The individuals in question – Kaylee Goncalves (age 21), Madison Mogen (also 21), Xana Kernodle (aged 20), and Ethan Chapin (who was 20 as well) – were students at the University of Idaho. They resided together in an apartment located off campus.

On November 12th, 2022, Goncalves, Mogen, Kernodle, and Chapin, who were roommates, were in different places before their bodies were discovered: Goncalves and Mogen were at a sports bar nearby, while Kernodle was at Chapin’s fraternity party. By 2 a.m. on the 13th of November, all four had returned to their three-story rental house.

Goncalves, who was studying general subjects at the College of Arts and Humanities, was set to graduate in December. As shared by her friend, Jordyn Quesnell, she planned to move to Austin, Texas for a marketing job shortly after graduation, as reported by The New York Times.

Back in elementary school, Mogen and Goncalves became close friends while both were studying marketing. Following her graduation, Mogen had intentions of relocating to Boise, a fact that was shared by family friend Jessie Frost with The Idaho Statesman.

At that point, Kernodle was a junior with a marketing major. As for Chapin, who specialized in recreation, sport, and tourism management, they had been together since the spring, according to their roommate’s neighbor, Ellie McKnight, as reported by NBC News.

Two residents, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, were present at home when the murders took place. Text messages released on March 6, 2025 revealed that Mortensen and Funke attempted to reach their fellow roommates on November 13, after Mortensen spotted a masked individual wandering through the house, as suggested in documents acquired by TopMob News.

“No one is answering,” Mortensen texted Funke at 4:22 a.m. “I’m rlly confused rn.”

She persistently contacted her roommates, encouraging them to reply. At 4:32 a.m., she messaged Goncalves saying, “Pls respond,” and later at 10:23 a.m., she asked, “Are you awake?

11:58 a.m., with a heart pounding like a drum, I dialed 911. Kernodle, my cherished idol, was found unresponsive, as revealed in an additional motion acquired by TopMob News. In the transcript, a woman named A1 painted a picture of the dire circumstances to the operator.

She told me over the phone, “One of our roommates is still unconscious from being intoxicated last night and won’t wake up. It seems someone was spotted in our house last night.

Bryan Kohberger, currently facing charges for four counts of first-degree murder, was pursuing a doctoral degree at Washington State University. Roughly a month following the discovery of the bodies belonging to Gonclaves, Mogen, Kernodle, and Chapin, Kohberger was apprehended on December 30 in Monroe County, Pennsylvania. On January 4, he was transported to Idaho for further proceedings.

It was DNA evidence discovered on a knife sheath abandoned at the crime scene that allegedly linked him to the murders, as stated in court documents from June 2023, according to NBC News.

When the DNA didn’t correspond with anyone in the FBI database, authorities decided to search public ancestry websites for potential suspects, as stated in the documents. Upon discovering that Kohberger had visited his parents’ home in Monroe County, local investigators then examined their trash and identified DNA linking him to the DNA found on the sheath.

Currently, no specific reason for the attack has been disclosed as public discussion is restricted due to a court order, according to NBC News. Nevertheless, unveiled documents offer some understanding of their legal positions.

Kohberger’s legal team has requested in a court filing obtained by TopMob News to remove the option of capital punishment, stating that if found guilty on all charges (which carries the death penalty, as ruled in November 2024), Kohberger has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). They argue this diagnosis could make executing him a breach of the Eighth Amendment’s ban on “inhumane and excessive punishment.

I’d passionately argue that Kohbereger’s thought process is remarkably inflexible, he often fixates on certain subjects, breaks down information bit by bit instead of seeing the bigger picture, finds it challenging to anticipate future events, and appears to lack self-awareness when it comes to his actions and feelings.

The statement noted that due to his Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mr. Kohberger struggles to behave in ways that conform to societal norms. This poses a grave concern that he may face the death penalty not because of his guilt, but due to his disability.

At his court appearance in May 2023, a judge entered a ‘not guilty’ plea on behalf of Kohberger for the first-degree murder charges he faced. Despite being present at the initial hearing, Kohberger chose not to speak. Initially scheduled for October 2, 2023, his trial was postponed as Kohberger opted to forego a swift trial in August 2023.

The upcoming court hearing for his case, happening over 300 miles away from Latah County (where the crimes occurred), is scheduled to start on August 11, 2025, in Ada County.

In September 2024, Latah County Judge John Judge granted the motion for transfer by Brian Kohberger’s legal team due to concerns of bias if the trial continued in Latah County. However, Ada County Judge Steven Hippler, now presiding over the case, refused the defense’s request to exclude crucial DNA and other evidence like cell phone and email records, CCTV footage, past Amazon purchases, and DNA evidence during the upcoming trial.
