Key Points:
- Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students in 2025, has never publicly explained his motive for the murders.
- Skye Borgman, director of the Netflix docuseries "The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare," theorizes Kohberger targeted the house because it was primarily occupied by women.
- The victims included three women and one man, with two other roommates surviving by locking themselves in a bedroom during the attack.
- Borgman highlights Kohberger's reported hostility toward women, including past incidents at Washington State University and possible ties to the incel movement, which harbors resentment toward women.
- Kohberger has since sought to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming innocence and stating he did not intend to confess, leaving his motive officially unknown.
