The man accused of killing four University of Idaho students reportedly had a history of making women uncomfortable at a Pennsylvania brewery near his family’s home. New details are emerging about Bryan Kohberger’s behavior long before the brutal stabbings that shocked the nation.
According to a report from NBC News, Kohberger visited the Seven Sirens Brewing Company multiple times months ago. Owner Jordan Serulneck told the outlet that the 28-year-old allegedly harassed female staff members during those visits.
Serulneck explained that the brewery scans every customer’s ID, and employees can add notes to a patron’s profile. Staff reportedly flagged Kohberger with warnings like, “Hey, this guy makes creepy comments, keep an eye on him.”
Witnesses say Kohberger would sit alone at the bar, quietly observing. But when he interacted with women—whether employees or customers—he allegedly asked where they lived and who they were with. If they weren’t interested, he reportedly became visibly upset.
In one instance, Serulneck recalled that Kohberger called a female employee a “bitch” after she refused to answer his questions. That moment reportedly forced the owner to step in.
During Kohberger’s final visit, Serulneck confronted him directly. “I went up to him and said, ‘Hey Bryan, welcome back. … I just wanted to make sure you’re going to be respectful this time,’” the owner told NBC.
Kohberger reportedly looked stunned, drank just one beer, and never returned.
At the time, Kohberger was likely a student at nearby DeSales University, where he graduated in 2022. Former classmates have since described a complicated past. One high school friend, Sara Healey, told Fox News Digital that Kohberger was often bullied but could also be a bully himself.
“There was definitely something off about him,” Healey said. Another friend, Nick Mcloughlin, told The Daily Beast that Kohberger changed dramatically in his senior year after losing a lot of weight, becoming more aggressive and confrontational.
Kohberger was arrested at his parents’ home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, early Friday—more than 2,500 miles from Moscow, Idaho, where the four students were found dead. He is currently being held without bond and plans to waive extradition, according to his attorney.
As the case moves forward, one question lingers: what else might investigators uncover about the months leading up to that tragic November night?
