In October 2021, more than a year before the University of Idaho murders, a terrifying call came in to Pullman, Washington police: a masked man with a knife had broken into a sorority house in the middle of the night. One of the women woke to find him at the foot of her bed. She kicked him in the stomach and he fled. No words, no injuries, but a lasting trauma — and no suspect identified.

For over a year, the case sat unsolved. Then, in December 2022, Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the Moscow, Idaho murders. Investigators in Pullman took notice. The similarities were obvious: a college town, late at night, a masked intruder, a knife. They reopened the file to see if there was a connection.

For nine days, Kohberger was a person of interest in that older case. Detectives examined his travel history, class schedule, and any reason he might have been in Pullman in October 2021. They found none. At the time of the break-in, Kohberger was still living in Pennsylvania, enrolled at DeSales University, with no evidence placing him anywhere near Pullman. There was no digital footprint, no credible witness sighting, and no physical evidence tying him to the scene.

Police closed their review with a clear conclusion: the 2021 Pullman break-in was not connected to Bryan Kohberger.

This episode looks at why police were right to check, why they were equally right to rule him out, and why not every similar crime points to the same suspect. We’ll walk through the facts, the process, and the lesson in investigative discipline — separating echo from evidence.
