Accused University of Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger reportedly stopped by a Greek restaurant where two of the four victims worked as waitresses, a former employee has revealed.
The former worker, who chose to remain anonymous, told People that Kohberger visited Mad Greek in downtown Moscow at least twice. Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, both 20 at the time of their deaths, were servers at the eatery—though it’s not known whether either of them ever interacted with him.
According to the staffer, Kohberger ordered a vegan pizza. That detail stuck out because the criminology PhD student allegedly went out of his way to ensure no animal products touched his food.
A former aunt of Kohberger previously described his dietary habits as “very, very weird” and “above and beyond being vegan.” She told The Post that his relatives had to buy new cookware because he refused to eat from anything that had ever been used to prepare meat, adding that he seemed “very OCD.”
The restaurant visits could be more evidence that Kohberger had been watching Mogen, Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, and Ethan Chapin before they were stabbed to death in their off-campus home in November. Investigators have reportedly interviewed Mad Greek employees and obtained surveillance footage from the business.
Earlier this week, sources told People that Kohberger slid into one of the victims’ Instagram DMs multiple times in October, just weeks before the murders. The messages were reportedly simple—“Hey, how are you?” —but he sent them repeatedly.
The recipient never responded.
His cellphone data also allegedly pinged in the same area as the students leading up to the killings. An ex-FBI investigator has suggested the Instagram outreach could be a sign of an “incel complex,” adding that the murders may have been an attempt to assert dominance.
According to a recently unsealed search warrant, Washington State University police seized a possibly bloodstained mattress cover, human hairs, a glove, and a computer from Kohberger’s apartment. Cuttings from a pillow with a reddish-brown stain and a black nitrile glove were also taken for lab testing.
Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 26.
What else might investigators uncover before then?
