A woman who claimed to have gone on a Tinder date with Bryan Kohberger, a suspect in the murders of four University of Idaho students, recounting that he allegedly invited himself into her apartment and then tried to touch her.
Through the TikTok platform, the user named “Hayley” explained on Monday that she coincided with Kohberger, who invited her to go out to the movies about seven years ago.
“My interactions with Bryan were very brief. I don’t know much about him,” said the woman, who claimed that the two talked through Tinder for a day at most before dating.
“Hayley” specified that they talked for a couple of hours, and then he said, “’Hey, do you want to go to the movies with me tonight?’ I was like, ‘sure’. So we went to the movies,” she noted.
The woman recalled Kohberger’s strange and apparently very daring behavior after watching a movie, adding that far from believing that he was going to leave her at home, he invited himself inside.
Once inside the apartment, the woman reported that Kohberger wanted to watch another movie on Netflix, and from that moment, things became strange, as she noticed that the subject could not keep his hands to himself.
“He kept trying to touch me. I don’t eat inappropriately, just trying to tickle myself, and like rubbing my shoulders and stuff, and I was like ‘Why are you touching me?’” she said.
In response to “Hayley’s” complaint, Kohberger “got super serious” and denied touching her: “’I’m not (touching) him,’ and I’m like, ‘yeah,’ and he’s like, ‘I’m not going to touch you. ‘, like trying to make me think that he didn’t touch me, which is weird,’” the woman recalled in the TikTok video.
Later, she gave the excuse to go to the shared bedroom bathroom, and saw how Kohberger allegedly followed her there.
“He didn’t go in with me, but he stood outside the door… I thought it was weird,” said “Hayley” in the video that has been viewed more than 1.3 million times as of Tuesday.
“It wasn’t because I was afraid of him or thought he would hurt me if I asked him to leave. It was mainly because I’m socially awkward. I didn’t know how to ask her to leave,” the woman said, adding that Kohberger allegedly messaged the woman on Tinder that she was leaving while she was pretending to vomit in the bathroom.
Kohberger is currently the prime suspect in the murders of 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, who were found dead on Sunday, November 13 of last year, outside the University of Idaho campus.
