🧠 Was He Always Dangerous?

Kohberger’s former classmates recall drastic personality changes in high school—weight loss, heroin addiction, erratic behavior. But no one imagined he could become a suspected mass killer.

“He used to be quiet, even friendly. Then something shifted,” a classmate told CNN.

He later immersed himself in criminology, focusing on how the mind of a killer works. In a bizarre twist, he once posted Reddit surveys asking criminals about their feelings during crimes.
