Sorry if you aren't able to understand the possible significance of this professor and how she links the two men. And with this common denominator, how that could have played a significant role in this crime. BTK didn't follow the typical criminal profile of a serial killer and this suspect would have been extremely interested in his psyche because of this point. And she was the bridge between the two men. Perhaps it is just too complex for some to understand though.

My personal opinion is that the parents who stand behind a convicted killer helped to create the monster. There child never did anything wrong in life.

Bryan studied all serial killers not just btk just because he was that teachers expertise. I'm sure she covers a wide range of them. Plus what ever influenced him to do this was a wide range of issues and no one is responsible for his actions except himself. He did it, not her father, he had nothing to do with it. Peace and Ahev

[@davidgray1515]

His father may have enabled him. His father gave him 50% of his DNA. His father raised him and supposedly taught him right from wrong. His parents have plenty to do with it and I am getting sick of people always saying Dont blame the parents! If my dog attacks someone, I am responsible. Why should parents not be responsib;e for their offspring?

[@janetritchie7499]

@@davidgray1515 I disagree. Psychopathy is a mental disorder that studies show can be identified as early as 2 years old. There is some brain differences b/w normal people and people with psychopathic tendencies. Many successful people, including CEOs of large corporations have some of those tendencies. It is thought that many famous people in history such as Genghis Kahn, King Henry VIII, Charlemagne, Hannibal and even Christopher Columbus had psychopathic traits. They are remembered for their courage, intelligence, daring and strong leadership, but taken as a whole, and given the right circumstances those traits magnified can be lethal to others.

Weren't the Moscow Idaho police looking for a 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra, and wasn't the Kohberger owned Elantra a 2015? That could explain why the father did not think anything about driving cross country in the white Elantra with his son. However, for a 28 year old man needing a travel companion for a mere 2500 mile drive is somewhat curious. Most men in their 20's can easily drive that alone with little more than a few stops at rest areas for some sleep.

So much empathy and compassion for this daughter. Have watched her interviews and suffering whenever she’s interviewed.😢❤😢❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Can’t imagine the retraumazitation she is putting herself through. All I want to say to her is: No matter what! You are not to blame for your father’s behavior. End your suffering and let yourself off of that “hook.” Please… for your own mental health and well-being. Even if that, means you have to end communication. Please do what is in your best interest to rid yourself of the shame and guilt that you carry for your father. It’s his horrid behavior, shame and guilt. You deserve to feel free to live your BeST life and not in the shadow of your father’s deviant behavior.

[@aftonrae4038]

People are making such a big deal about his dad coming out there and riding back with him. First, I’m just speculating here but, there is a very good chance that Kohberger told his family that he’s already come forward to police about his car and been cleared. Second, the time period that his dad flew out to meet him aligns with winter break and could have been a preplanned trip so that Kohberger didn’t have to drive that long distance alone to come home for Christmas. I know that we are making this trip a huge thing bc of the laundries but based on Kohberger’s parents statement where they didn’t come out and declare that he is definitely innocent but instead made a statement about preserving his presumption of innocence until proven guilty in court, I feel like they might cooperate and behave very different than parents like the Laundries.

[@-wypac5620]

Maybe that suspect use his father to drive him to Idaho to survey that place and select his victims,regarding that white car almost every single day you can watch news on tv and online that the police still looking for any kind of information about that white car so if his parents watching the news they would know that the police still on the lookout for that car….

[@aprilwilcher3311]

The thing that I find strange is why didn’t his father just buy him a ticket to fly to PA. I’m not saying any of that has any bearing on the case or that the father is connected in anyway. I just find it odd.

I feel very sorry for Kerri Rawson. You can tell that any comfort that she may have had in believing that her Dad being behind bars and not being able to harm anyone else has been damaged now. The fear that her Dad could have somehow assisted the Idaho murder suspect in murdering those college kids appeared to emotionally upset her greatly. 😢 That poor girl has endured far too much emotional devastation because of her father's actions already.

[@traceyholt8223]

Is that why Bryan asked if anyone else was arrested? He didn't want his father being involved?

[@ksc743]

His father opened the door to the cops at 3am. I'm sure it was not a quiet entrance. Mrs K and Bryan must surely have come to see what was going on. They live in a gated community so it would have been even more of a shock when the cops came banging on the door at 3am.

To the daughter of BTK: what your Father did is in no way a reflection of you. Don’t allow it to dictate who you are as a person. We all have parents/ most of us go on to have children.We all all individual people not extensions of each other. If there is anyway you could help - it’s giving ppl some insight and maybe even red flags that usually go unnoticed so people can be mindful of those they live with or are close to for their own safety….

Brian Entin, I love you, think you’re awesome, and here’s a vocab tip: if someone else writes it, it’s not an autobiography, it’s a biography. An autobiography is written by the subject. Professor Katherine wrote BTK’s biography. If she writes her own life story at some point, that will be her autobiography.

'She spent five years working with “BTK” serial killer Dennis Rader to write his autobiography, Confession of a Serial Killer '. Keywords working with. Will Smith is another example of an autobiography written by a co-writer although (Mark Manson) was credited. Most autobiographies will have a co-writer or a ghostwriter as the person said autobiography is based on may not have the technical writing skills to fulfill the task. As long as you are intimately writing first-hand factual information with the subject's account of events it is indeed an autobiography. A biography is written with third-party information that cannot verify introspection or emotional experiences involving the subject. Hope this helps.
