Was Bryan Kohberger “Papa Roger”? Jennifer Coffindaffer on the Mysterious Online Figure in the Idaho Murders

In the aftermath of the Idaho Four murders, an online persona called “Papa Roger” began posting in true crime groups, sometimes sharing details that seemed to match inside information. The avatar even looked strikingly like Bryan Kohberger. But was it him?

In this segment, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and I revisit the Papa Roger mystery. We break down what’s in the official investigative report — including a misspelling of the handle in police documentation — and why that detail matters when assessing the thoroughness of the inquiry. Was this just a dedicated sleuth with uncanny insight, or a suspect testing the waters under a fake name?

We discuss the possibility of law enforcement using such accounts as bait, the limitations investigators face when VPNs are involved, and how multiple fake Papa Roger accounts after Kohberger’s arrest muddied the waters. For those who followed the case from the start, it’s a reminder that not every thread gets tied off neatly — and some will always live in the gray area between rumor and proof.
