Bryan Kohberger has kept a low profile at the WSU housing complex
Man suspected of massacring four University of Idaho students reportedly kept a low profile in his Washington State University apartment complex, with some neighbors not even realizing the accused killer lived among them.

Justin Williams, a 34-year-old WSU employee who lives in a building adjacent to Kohberger, told Fox News Digital he rarely saw the suspected killer.
“I saw him going to check his mail, that was all. Other than that, I’ve only seen him twice the whole time, and I’ve been living here since July 2021, » Williams said, adding that he didn’t notice « anything unusual » about the behavior. by Koberger.
Neighbors told the media that the Steptoe Village building is part of a WSU housing complex, which is mainly inhabited by graduate or doctoral students and is a “quiet” neighborhood in the generally safe town of Pullman – about 15 minutes drive across the Idaho border with Moscow, where the four students were killed.
Andrew Chua, a 28-year-old graduate student who lives a short walk from Kohberger’s apartment building, said that in the nearly seven weeks since the murders, he hadn’t noticed anything « at all » about them. unusual in the neighborhood.
« I wasn’t aware of this issue, it’s a very quiet place, very nice to live in, » said Chua, who didn’t recognize Kohberger’s photo. « Now I’m like, ‘Maybe I should stay home.' »
Shawn Domgaard, a 36-year-old PhD student at WSU, said news of the arrest just outside his home was « difficult to process ».
« It’s such, like I said, a high contrast to what we’re used to, » the Utah native and father of three young children told Fox. « I feel like it’s happening far away even though it’s literally in my backyard. »
