Goncalves, Mogen, Kernodle & Chapin Families Sue WSU Over Bryan Kohberger: "Foreseeable and Preventable"

The families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin have filed a 126-page wrongful death lawsuit against Washington State University—the school that employed Bryan Kohberger, housed him, and paid him a salary while he was allegedly terrorizing women on campus. According to the lawsuit, at least 13 formal complaints were filed against Kohberger during his single semester as a teaching assistant. Women requested security escorts to avoid him. Staff developed informal warning systems. One supervising instructor allegedly worried that removing Kohberger could expose the university to a lawsuit. A professor reportedly predicted he would go on to harass and sexually abuse students if WSU gave him a PhD.

The families allege gross negligence, Title IX violations, and deliberate indifference—arguing the murders of their children were foreseeable and preventable. WSU has declined to comment beyond offering condolences. Former prosecutor turned criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis joins us to break down the legal claims. What does "deliberate indifference" mean? How do families prove it? What documents will emerge during discovery that WSU doesn't want exposed? And could this lawsuit change how universities nationwide handle threat assessments and complaints about predatory behavior? The criminal case is closed. The civil reckoning is just beginning.
