Bryan Kohberger Claimed He Was 'Honest' In New Footage From Traffic Stop Before Idaho Murders

Another traffic stop video of Bryan Kohberger has surfaced following his recent sentencing for the murder of four Idaho university students.

The convicted killer was pulled over by the police three months before the murders for driving over the speed limit. He was also pulled over a month before the murders for running a red light.

On both occasions, Bryan Kohberger was driving a white Hyundai Elantra, which is believed to be the vehicle he used to travel to and from the crime scene.

Bryan Kohberger appears to have had a pattern of traffic violations, as yet another video of him being pulled over has surfaced.

The incident happened on August 21, 2022, and the convicted murderer was pulled over for driving over the speed limit, as seen in body cam footage obtained by the Idaho Statesman.

Kohberger was driving at 42 mph in a 35 mph zone, and when stopped by police, he quickly admitted to not wearing a seatbelt.

He also told the officer, "I'm just being honest with you," seemingly hoping the officer would go easy on him.

After the interaction, the officer let Kohberger off with a warning for speeding but issued a $10 citation for not wearing a seatbelt.

Months after the murder incident, Kohberger was involved in another traffic stop near the Washington State University campus.

The former Ph.D. student allegedly ran a red light, and in the body cam footage from the stop, he was seen trying to explain himself to the officer.

He was ultimately not cited, as the officer ran his information and let him go with a warning.

The video was the first traffic stop incident to emerge after Kohberger's arrest on murder charges and was reportedly going to be used as evidence if he had gone to trial.

In both traffic stops, Kohberger was driving a Hyundai Elantra registered in his name.

The vehicle in question was spotted in surveillance footage near the home where Kohberger is alleged to have murdered Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

This ultimately helped authorities identify Kohberger as a suspect after they compared his driver's license information with the description provided by one of the victims' surviving roommates.

Aside from the traffic stop footage, a number of other revelations have emerged since Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences.

One such claim came from a fellow inmate, who told authorities that Kohberger had very strange hygiene habits, including washing his hands dozens of times each day and spending nearly an hour in the shower.

Another document revealed that Kohberger once asked a Tinder date disturbing questions about murder, including what "she thought would be the worst way to die."

A former colleague of Kohberger at Washington State University also claimed he showed up to work during the period the murders were committed with what appeared to be "scratches from fingernails" on his face and hands.

When the individual tried to probe further about how Kohberger got the marks, he reportedly claimed he had "been in a car accident."

More recently, another released document revealed that the 30-year-old allegedly "offended" several female students at the university, prompting two professors to consider staging an intervention for him, according to the National Enquirer.

In the meantime, the reasons behind Kohberger's decision to carry out the murders remain uncertain, as he declined to give any comments during his sentencing.

But according to forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato, Koheberger's motives were "psychosexual."

"Kohberger's motives, as demonstrated in what was on the ground, are fairly classic," he said in a Daily Mail podcast. "There are clues that this was psychosexual. Kohberger was viewing deeply disturbing pornography – and he clearly idolised sexually motivated serial killers."

Adding to his theory, Brucato pointed out how Kohberger purchased the alleged murder weapon months before the crime.

"That means you have a fantasy, then you go out like a casting agent to find a person you can cast in your fantasy," he said. "A representative of the group he felt rejected by. Attractive young women – he homed in on a specific victim who was representative of that whole group."
