Previously, accused Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger took classes from a professor who specialises in studying serial killers.
At the time of the killings, Kohberger was a graduate student at the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University. He had previously studied criminology at DeSales University in Center Valley, Pennsylvania.
Dr. Katherine Ramsland, a forensic psychologist who has spent decades studying serial killers and mass murderers, was the professor he trained under there. She appeared on NewsNation in October to discuss the Delphi case.
She is known for having developed a close relationship with the serial killer Dennis Rader, more commonly known as BTK.
Kerri Rawson, Rader’s daughter, spoke with Brian Entin of NewsNation in an exclusive interview.
“It’s hard to be the kid of this guy and live with this,” she said, choking back tears. “You know? And then see somebody else go do this and wonder did your dad influence this? Did your dad talk to him? Was he studying my father outside of academics? Am I ever going to get answers to that, I don’t know.”
So far, Ramsland is not discussing the case publicly. “I cannot make media statements about him at this time,” she said.
Entin was informed by Kohberger’s public attorney that his father had travelled to Idaho and returned to Pennsylvania with him in the white Hyundai Elantra that had been sought out by police in mid-December.
