Dr. Katherine Ramsland, a criminology professor who taught Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, is confronting a disturbing possibility: that her own academic instruction may have influenced his violent actions. Speaking to NewsNation, Ramsland admitted, “I have to look at the framework of what I taught and wonder, did I inspire him in some way?”
Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 2, 2025, to the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students, avoiding the death penalty in a surprise plea agreement.
