Did Bryan Kohberger Kill to Impress His Professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland? Howard Blum Thinks So
In this episode, Tony Brueski takes a deep dive into one of the most unsettling and psychologically complex theories in the Bryan Kohberger case: the claim that the murders were committed as a twisted attempt to impress his former professor, Dr. Katherine Ramsland. This idea, originally reported by Howard Blum, suggests that Kohberger—a criminology PhD student with an intense academic background in serial killer studies—may have crossed the line between student and subject. Using the three-part narrative breakdown, we explore the factual history between Kohberger and Ramsland, the reported but unconfirmed communications, and the chilling psychological theory that this was Kohberger's way of saying, "Look what I can do."
If true, this would place Kohberger's motive in a rare psychological category: admiration-fueled symbolic violence. This wasn’t about revenge. It wasn’t about the victims. It may have been about validation—from someone who had no idea she was being idolized. Is this theory fact or just media myth? Join Tony as he dissects the known facts, separates evidence from rumor, and lays out the case for and against this deeply disturbing motive.
