Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman

Was This Kohberger’s Dry Run? The Forgotten Home Invasion in Pullman

In this chilling episode of Hidden Killers, we peel back the layers of an unsolved mystery that may have been a terrifying prelude to the University of Idaho murders. On October 10, 2021—more than a year before Bryan Kohberger was arrested for the brutal stabbings in Moscow—a college student in Pullman, Washington woke up to a masked man standing silently at the foot of her bed… holding a knife.
The masked intruder didn’t speak. He didn’t steal anything. He simply stared—until the student kicked him in the stomach, sending him fleeing into the night. Police arrived to find no trace. No evidence. Just a shaken survivor and a trail gone cold.

Fast forward to late 2022, and Bryan Kohberger is in custody, charged with the murder of four college students less than 10 miles away. That’s when investigators reopened the 2021 Pullman case—and what they found sent a chill down everyone’s spine. The timing, the M.O., the house layout, the silence, the mask—it all felt too familiar.

In this episode, we break the story down segment by segment: from the night of the attack, to the eerie parallels with the Idaho murders, to the question of whether Kohberger was in town before his move to Pullman. We examine the behavioral psychology behind escalation, “dry runs,” and criminal fantasy—and we ask the question: If this wasn’t Kohberger, then who the hell was it?

This is the story of a break-in that almost no one remembers—until you realize it might have been the beginning of something much darker.
