Kohberger Sister: 'I Would Have Turned Him In'

Three years after the tragic killings of four University of Idaho students, Bryan Kohberger's sister, Mel, has broken her family's long-held silence. In a recent interview, Mel shared insights into her childhood with Bryan and the profound impact his actions and subsequent arrest have had on their lives. She emphasized her commitment to justice, stating she would have reported her brother if any suspicion of his guilt had arisen.

The Kohberger family has navigated intense public scrutiny, a reality amplified by today's pervasive true crime culture. Mel herself faced professional repercussions, leaving her mental health counselor training after her employer received numerous inquiries. The family also dealt with the distressing phenomenon of others attempting to capitalize on the case using their likenesses. Mel described this experience as deeply confusing and painful, feeling victimized without being a direct victim of the crime.
