Bryan Kohberger Behind Bars: Peculiar Habits of Idaho Murderer Revealed by Inmate
Bryan Kohberger would shower for up to an hour a day and then wash his hands dozens of times throughout the day, said a fellow inmate
He would not sleep during the night and would constantly roam around the room which the fellow inmate said was "annoying" when sharing a cell with him
Kohberger was "intelligent and polite," said the inmate, and only got into one brief argument during the time the two men were incarcerated togetherBryan Kohberger managed to keep a low profile while awaiting his murder trial, despite being the most notorious criminal at the Latah County Jail.
This is according to a report filed by Cpl. Brett Payne of the Moscow Police Department, who detailed Kohberger's behavior behind bars after speaking with an inmate who had been housed in the same cell as the murderer.
That inmate said Kohberger had a number of habits he found 'annoying' but noted he never witnessed any animosity or anger from his cellmate, with the exception of a single incident that enraged Kohberger.
He also noted that Kohberger was 'highly intelligent and polite' but never once spoke about the murders he would eventually confess to in court.
At the same time, said the inmate, Kohberger would often ask his fellow incarcerees to tell him about the offenses that landed them in jail.
The inmate told Cpl. Payne that Kohberger's bathing habits were difficult to deal with at times because he would spend anywhere from '45 minutes to an hour in the shower' and then wash his hands 'dozens of times' throughout the day.
Kohberger spent about as much time showering as he did sleeping, according to the inmate, who said he would not only be 'awake all night' but also constantly 'moving around' the cell.

The only time that inmate did see Kohberger exhibit any sort of anger or violence was after he mistakenly assumed someone in the jail had been insulting him as he spoke on the phone with his mother.
That individual had been watching a sporting event at the time and yelled 'you suck' at the television, prompting Kohberger to 'aggressively' approach the man and ask if his comments were directed at him and his mother.
The situation was quickly resolved once the two men talked things out, per the report.
Kohberger is now in the custody of the Idaho Department of Corrections waiting to receive his prison placement.

NYC gunman who blamed NFL for hiding brain injury dangers suffered from sports concussion, mom said
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mother of the man who killed four people at a Manhattan office tower home to the NFL before taking his own life told 911 dispatchers during a 2022 incident when he threatened to kill himself that he suffered from a sports-related concussion and other issues, new information released by Las Vegas police Tuesday revealed. Shane Tamura, 27, had a documented history of mental health problems and carried a handwritten note in his wallet when he carried out the shooting that claimed he had chronic traumatic encephalopathy, known at CTE, investigators said. He accused the football league of hiding the dangers of brain injuries linked to contact sports. His mother told the dispatchers on Sept. 12, 2022, that her son was also struggling with depression, chronic migraines and insomnia; was taking sleeping pills and smoked marijuana; and kept a gun in his backpack. It was one of two incidents that led to Tamura being admitted to hospitals for mental health crises. 'He said he's going to kill himself,' she said in the recorded 911 call. 'He didn't say he made a plan, he just said he just can't take it anymore.' Tamura's mother placed the call from outside a Budget Suites Motel and reported that her son was threatening to hurt himself. 'He just started crying and slamming things and said I'm making him worse, so I said, 'I'll step outside,'' she said. 'I don't want you to be upset, but I'm afraid to leave.' She told dispatchers she would wait in the stairwell because she did not want Tamura to know she had called the police. Tamura was committed to a hospital again in 2024 after calling his mother and making statements about wanting to hurt himself, according to a first responder captured on body camera video released by Las Vegas police. Tamura, 27, worked at the Horseshoe Las Vegas until last week, when authorities say he drove his car to New York and carried out the shooting.
