Under normal circumstances, I would  not concern myself with this nagging question … but the nature of this crime compels all of to wonder: Why did Brian Kohberger kill those four precious college students in Idaho?

Kohberger will spend the rest of his life in an Idaho prison. Something tells me it might not be a long life, given the nature of the crime and the prison culture that exists in most lockups.

He stabbed three young women and a young man to death in a house they were sharing in Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho, where the victims were attending. He stabbed them in brutal and merciless fashion. He pleaded guilty to the crimes to avoid a sure-fire death sentence had he gone to trial and been convicted.

However, this monster has not disclosed his motive for robbing all those families of the future they hoped for in the young victims of this hideous crime. Several of the victims’ loved ones asked him directly during the sentencing hearing. Kohberger sat there in stone-faced silence.

The loved ones of those precious young victims deserve some semblance of closure and it ought to come in the form of an explanation of what prompted Bryan Kohberger to commit such a horrific crime. A grieving nation joins them in demanding an answer.
