Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea closed the criminal case. It did not close the questions about who he is. A new book on the Idaho murders has published, for the first time, three letters Kohberger wrote from the Latah County Jail in October 2023 — to his dog, his sister, and his family. The content is striking not for what it says, but for what is entirely absent: any connection to reality.

He claimed telepathic communication with his dog. He addressed his sister in the plural and invented a capitalized philosophical term. He wrote his family about "triumphantly ascending to new peaks" while awaiting a potential death sentence. And in that family letter, two words sit in the middle of the text: "A four." He was charged with killing four people — Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

Combined with his mother's FBI interview the night of his arrest — where she repeatedly called him her angel, described a man with virtually no social connections, and turned to comfort the family dog mid-interrogation — and inmate observations of obsessive compulsive rituals, the psychological picture is far more complex than a simple guilty plea suggests. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of "The Minds of Mass Killers," breaks down what this body of evidence reveals about the mind behind the Moscow murders.
