What is one question you’d ask Kohberger?

If things stay on schedule, we are less than two months from the trial of alleged killer Bryan Kohberger.

The Pennsylvania native is charged with one count of burglary and four counts of murder (all felonies). This of course is for the killings of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Now, whether or not Kohberger did it is of course the million dollar question.

To those who are quite convinced he did, you wonder why they’d even want a trial at this point.

To others honoring the court system and innocent until proven guilty, they have questions about his arrest and subsequent charges.

Speaking of questions, if you had the chance to sit down and ask the defendant one question, any thoughts on what it may be?

As a journalist for more than 30 years, I’d have a page full of them.

Among the ones that come to mind sooner than later:

• Did you kill the 4 students?
• If you did kill them, how did you manage to do so alone in under 15 minutes? That is covering two floors, presumably in dark conditions, meeting some resistance, not leaving a major trail of blood out the door of 1122 King Road. Also, how were you able to dispose of the murder weapon if in fact you are responsible for their deaths?
• If you did kill them, why not go after survivor Dylan Mortensen on the second floor? Do you think or know if the other survivor, Bethany Funke, was home at the time of the killings? It would seem you’d want to eliminate any possible witnesses.
• If you did kill them, what was the motive?
• Did you go out for a late night/early morning drive before the approximate time of the murders?
• If you were at 1122 King Road on Nov. 13, 2022, had you ever been there before?
• Did you have any kind of social media contact with one or more of the victims prior to Nov. 13?
• Did you ever dine at the Mad Greek on Main Street where both Mogen and Kernodle worked part-time?
• Had you ever bought drugs from or sold drugs to any of the tenants at 1122 King Road? If yes, were you allegedly there on Nov. 13 to buy or sell and things got out of hand?
• If you are responsible for the 4 deaths, did you have help? That is outside help or one or more people with knowledge of the inside of the home?
• Would you know how to scrub a car clean of any DNA, hair, fibers etc.?
• What did you do between the dates of the deaths (yes, you allegedly killed them as you are innocent until proven guilty) and your arrest some six or so weeks later?
• Did/do you have a close relationship with your parents and siblings? If yes, have you talked to them in recent weeks?
• If you could talk to any of the four families who’ve lost their loved ones, what would you say to them?
• Do you think you can get a fair trial in Moscow, Idaho?
• How confident are you in lead defense attorney Anne Taylor fighting for you?
• If you’re not the killer, who do you think might have done it? Any chance this could have been a drug hit involving any of the frats or sororities or someone upset with Maddie’s step-mom or Xana’s mom?
• What one message would you like to convey to the public?

So, given Kohberger is presumed innocent for now, what one question would you have for him if given a chance to speak?
