Bryan Kohberger’s ‘Tinder match’ interviewed by police

(NewsNation) — Police reports from the Idaho murders case are shedding new light on the investigation into Bryan Kohberger after he killed four students in their off-campus apartment.

One report reveals that police interviewed a woman who claimed to have matched with Kohberger on the Tinder dating site.


She told police she discussed with Kohberger that a friend of hers was murdered in her town years earlier, along with their favorite horror movies. 

The woman claimed Kohberger asked what she considered the worst way to die. She said she replied a knife, and he asked, “something to the effect of ‘like a Ka Bar?’”

She told cops she stopped talking to Kohberger after his questions began making her uncomfortable.

However, in a follow-up police report, detectives wrote that Tinder did not have any records for the identifiers that the woman provided.

Kohberger was given four consecutive life sentences after taking a plea deal for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022.

Kohberger declined to speak when given the opportunity, before a judge handed down four consecutive life sentences for murder and an additional 10-year sentence for burglary.
