Summary
Before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the murders of four University of Idaho students, he was a teaching assistant in Washington State University’s criminal justice department. Now, one of the professors who worked directly with him, John Snyder, is speaking out about what it was like to have Kohberger as his TA.
Snyder, a former public defender turned professor, says Kohberger was unlike any assistant he’d ever been assigned. Instead of being helpful, Kohberger often skipped class and showed up only when it suited him. Worse, Snyder says, he developed a habit of cornering him at the end of the day, following him down the hall, and talking endlessly about trivial or immature topics. Snyder called it the “terrier routine” — a way Kohberger seemed to feel in control by wasting his time.
Even Snyder’s wife noticed something unsettling. Once, while waiting for him in the car, she saw Kohberger trailing her husband and instinctively recoiled — a reaction she’d never had to anyone before.
Other episodes stuck with Snyder too. Kohberger once insisted on showing him how he could beat a parking ticket, dragging him to the lot to “analyze the scene.” Snyder, with decades of courtroom experience, told him flatly that people who think they’re smarter than the law are always wrong. Kohberger ignored the advice.
By the end of the semester, Snyder had grown to dread working with him. He described Kohberger as arrogant, petty, and more interested in control games than teaching. When Kohberger was arrested weeks later, Snyder realized his complaints about an irritating TA had actually been warnings about something far more sinister.
This is the professor’s perspective: what it was like working side by side with Bryan Kohberger before the world knew his name.
