Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger Says He 'Felt No Emotion,' 'Little Remorse' in Old Forum Posts Showing Troubled Past
Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger's old forum posts have resurfaced, with his teenage self writing that he did not feel any emotion and could do "whatever I want with little remorse."
In a series of posts on the forum website Tapatalk in 2011, Kohberger noted that he was struggling with his mental health and a rare neurological condition called visual snow.
In one post, the Idaho murder suspect said he always felt as if he was not there and was "completely depersonalized," Business Insider reported.
Kohberger noted that he mentally experienced "fog, lack of comprehension at some times," as well as suicide and depression.
He also said he "felt no emotion, and along with the depersonalization," he can say and do whatever he wants "with little remorse."
He added that everyone hated him and he was "an asshole." A friend from high school told The New York Times that Kohberger had often complained about his visual snow.

Bryan Kohberger Old Forum Posts
Bryan Kohberger did not use his real name and posted under an alias, but the posts included a mention of his birthday.
He used the username "Exarr" on his account, which used an email address that matched an email address for Kohberger that appeared in a 2009 leak of accounts from an online payment company, The New York Times reported.
The account also listed his location as Effort, Pennsylvania, which was the place where he grew up.
Kohberger also wrote that nothing he did was enjoyable and that he was blank and had "no opinion" and "no emotion."
Kohberger added that he started feeling the absence of emotions when his visual snow symptoms began in 2009. One friend claimed that Kohberger constantly talked about his "fuzzy vision."
The friend and the accused Idaho murder suspect went to the same school during high school. He noted that it was something that really bothered Kohberger.
Francesca Puledda, a neurologist and researcher at King's College London, noted that scientists still debate whether to call the condition a disease.
Puledda noted that they still do not know what causes it, adding that more research has to be done.
Puledda added that the visual snow syndrome is not a sign of mental illness but noted that there was a report of an incidence of psychiatric issues for people experiencing it.
Idaho Murders
Bryan Kohberger is currently facing murder charges after he is accused of sneaking into the house shared by several college students in Idaho.
He allegedly stabbed four students to death and left two of their roommates unharmed.
Kohberger was a criminology Ph.D. student at Washington University, which is a 15-minute drive from the crime scene.
Kohberger has maintained his innocence through his lawyer, with a judge setting the date for his hearing in June, when prosecutors will present evidence against him.
Citing a source working for the university, Fox News reported that Kohberger's doctoral program has access to a "crime lab" database of police bodycam videos, including live streams from security cameras on and off campus.
However, it was unclear whether Kohberger had attempted to access these research tools, but the university vehemently denied he was allowed in the Complex Social Interaction Lab (CSI Lab).
The source noted that the CSI computers are located in the same building and on the same floor as the graduate offices.
