Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger demands prison transfer after complaining of inmate threats
Bryan Kohberger, the former criminology Ph.D. student who killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a 4 a.m. home invasion ambush, is complaining to prison guards that other inmates are threatening to sexually assault him and pleading for a transfer to another wing of the prison, according to a new report. The 30-year-old Pennsylvania native has asked to meet with the deputy warden and is requesting his cell be moved to a quieter wing called B Block, according to a handwritten "resident concern form" first obtained by People. The handwriting appears similar to other samples of Kohberger's previously released in court. He made his first complaint on his second day in J Block, which is for high-profile, high-risk prisoners, including death row inmates like Chad Daybell. Less than a week later, he reportedly complained again that another prisoner told him, "I'll b--- f--- you" and told guards someone else warned him, "The only a-- we'll be eating his Kohberger's." State prison officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A guard reportedly remembered hearing "vulgar language being used" but could not recall the specifics. "As I continue the SPI phase, I wish to discuss if I may be transferred to another ad-seg setting," Kohberger wrote, using prison lingo for "administrative segregation" – the type of protective housing that keeps him separated from the same inmates allegedly lobbing threats. "Not engaging in any of the recent flooding/striking, as well as being subject to minute-by-minute verbal threats/harassment on that and other bases (sic), tier 2 of J-block is an environment that I wish to transfer from if possible," Kohberger wrote. "I request transfer to B block immediately. I wish to speak with you soon." Flooding is a prison term referring to clogging sinks, toilets or other fixtures in order to force water to flood. It was not immediately clear what he meant by striking. It could mean a physical hit, refusal to work, or a disciplinary term. Prison officials have given no indication that they plan to move him, and his housing status still listed him in J Block as of Wednesday morning. Experts, however, warn Kohberger arrived at the prison with a target on his back. The killer is reputed to be lacking in social skills – illustrated by what his attorneys called a "piercing stare" and lack of social awareness in court filings. Over the past two and a half years of confinement, he appears to have lost some weight, too. According to documents made public by the Moscow Police Department in Idaho, Kohberger already has a track record of bumping heads with his fellow inmates. On one occasion, Kohberger turned away from a video chat with his mom to snap at an inmate who yelled "you suck" at a jailhouse TV set. Another inmate described him as a "f---ing weirdo" and claimed he would have assaulted him if he wasn't worried about repercussions.

Bryan Kohberger Victims' Families Sue Over Crime Scene Photos: ‘Don't Look at Them'
The families of Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin, two of the four Idaho college students murdered by Bryan Kohberger, have sued the city of Moscow, Idaho, over the release of crime scene photos. While appearing on NewsNation's Banfield, attorney Leander James — the lawyer representing Mogen and Chapin's families — explained why they believe the lawsuit is necessary. 'They had actually reached a point by the time of the sentencing that they actually had some closure and were able to sort of start to move on somehow,' James told guest host Brian Entin on Monday, August 18. 'Then they get hit with this, all of this ugly stuff getting released.' While James acknowledged that there will likely be photos released due to public interest surrounding the killings, he's hoping 'death scene photos' can remain private. Bryan Kohberger Sentenced to 4 Lifetimes in Prison: Who Were the Idaho Murder Victims? 'Who wants to look at this stuff?' he asked. 'This is just plain wrong. And me, personally, I'm a fan of the First Amendment, I appreciate what the media does, and I appreciate transparency and the right of the public to know. But there is a line there somewhere, and I think we're over that line.' In July, Kohberger was sentenced to four life sentences in prison, more than two years after he murdered Mogen, Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle in their Moscow home. Weeks before sentencing, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all four murders in exchange for avoiding the death penalty. In the early hours of November 13, 2022, police say Kohberger entered the students' home wearing a black mask before stabbing all four of his victims to death. 'This unfathomable and senseless act of evil has caused immeasurable pain and loss. No parent should ever have to bury their child,' Judge Steven Hippler stated at sentencing. 'This is the greatest tragedy that can be inflicted upon a person.' What Idaho Victims' Surviving Roommates Said at Bryan Kohberger's Sentencing In his latest interview with NewsNation, James explained why Mogen and Chapin's families wanted to take legal action to prevent more photos of the crime from being released to the public. 'For them, I think it's an unwarranted invasion into their privacy for any of the interior photos to get out there, or any of the gory photos,' he shared. 'I think the core images here are images of the death scene, the bodies and those types of things where the murders took place. Those, I think, are the most objectionable and are an unwarranted evasion and should not be released.' Before a judge makes a ruling on what, if anything else, can be released, James asked anyone who sees the images 'to think of the parents and the family members of these kids who were killed and to think about how they would feel if they were in their situation and to not view these photos. Please don't look at them if they're out there.'
