Bryan Kohberger suspected in the Idaho murders was getting his doctorate in criminology at Washington State University. At the time Kohberger was employed as a teaching assistant at Washington State University in nearby Pullman.

Kohberger, 28, allegedly murdered four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home in Moscow on November 13.

He was accused of fatally stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

Less than two weeks before the slayings, Kohberger had a meeting with faculty members at WSU on their growing concerns about his alleged behavior, according to a university record.

Kohberger had received several warnings from the university that he was not meeting expectations in his job as a teaching assistant. And called out for his “sexist” attitude.

A letter that was given to Kohberger before he was terminated stated that he had a “sexist attitude” towards women he interacted with at the university, was “rude” to women, and graded them differently from men.
