So lately, I have been following this case of Idaho murders very closely. And every single day, the news keep pouring about new discoveries and surprising details that keep me hooked to the core. I could not just digest the fact that someone can sneak inside your house on his own in the night and then kill/ stab 4 people with a knife and get away so easily as if nothing has happened. Out of 6 housemates, 4 were killed, one heard some one whimpering and even captured the sight of the masked person passing by her but then she supposedly "froze" due to the fear and shut herself in her room and the other just slept through the whole killings. And somebody only called 911 after 8-9 hours after the whole massacre!! And finally after 6-7 weeks they got hold of the alleged culprit, Bryan Kohberger a PHD student in criminology. The whole setting, the background of the supposed offender and now all these stories coming out, these are making this sickening incident just too unavoidable to miss.
So now they are saying, Bryan had some troubled past, he was a overweight kid in high school, was often bullied by peers, and then not very appealing to girls. Then, as always, they try to link some neurological problems these kind of offenders are going through. So this time, it is said he was suffering from some kind of neurological condition called "Visual Snow" in the past. Something never heard of!
As the investigators found out he was frequenting some online platforms where he had left his footprints writing about how he was feeling at some point of time in his life. They are painting him as a isolated and depressed teenager who used heroin too at some point of is life and suffered from this "Visual Snow", a condition when a person's vision is obscured by scattering dots as said.
I am now wondering now if the justice system will be lenient on his wrong doings that he supposedly took part in, though many are still vying for death penalty.
