Bryan Kohberger is obsessed with following his own case from behind bars and has now found God, attending mass every Sunday, sources say.
DailyMail.com spoke with current and former inmates, as well as jail sources, to discuss Kohbergers’ time at the jail. Among the revelations are that Kohberger gets daytime access to a television and likes to flip on the news to follow coverage of his own case.
‘He watches himself all the time,’ one inmate told DailyMail.com. ‘It’s really kind of bizarre.’
The accused quadruple murderer, who has been locked up without bail at the Latah County Jail since early January, steps out of his cell around 7pm on Sundays to meet with a local pastor who leads him in prayer.
‘He sits down with the pastor and receives his own private mass,’ a source inside the jail said. ‘It’s just the two of them. And no, I have no idea what they might talk about.’

Kohberger, 28, has been locked up without bail at the Latah County Jail in Idaho since early January as he awaits trial
By all accounts, the 28-year-old has been a model prisoner, a jail official tells DailyMail.com. This despite facing taunts from inmates who sometimes shout at him as he shuffles past their cells.
Kohberger meets with a local pastor who leads him in prayer every Sunday, follows his trial on the news and seldom speaks to other inmates, sources reveal
When one inmate named Tyson hollered ‘bit**!’ at the accused murderer during a recent weekday, Kohberger barely flinched, turning toward him with a menacing stare without breaking stride as he proceeded down the hall, according to one inmate who watched it happen.
‘He always has the same expression, or non-expression,’ said one inmate, who met with a DailyMail.com reporter in the jail. ‘He just looks straight ahead. I’ve never even seen his eyebrows or mouth move. He never says anything.’
Kohberger spends most of his time alone in a private cell, kept apart from other inmates who share cells.
He rarely if ever chats with jail mates, who typically only see him when he walks past them.
They say he maintains a steely stare when he steps out to meet his lawyers or to visit the library, and that he’s always flanked by several correction officers who escort him wherever he goes.
The jail houses a couple dozen inmates in a sprawling basement, directly underneath the Latah County courthouse and sheriff’s office near downtown Moscow.
Opaque windows to some of the cells face a quiet side street, located just 1.4 miles from the rental home where four University of Idaho students were slaughtered during the predawn hours of November 13.
Kohberger was extradited to Idaho for the November 13 murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Maddie Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20
This is the murder house where four students were stabbed to death. The home is now boarded up and is slated for demolition
Police arrested Kohberger, a PhD student in criminology at nearby Washington State University in Pullman, on December 30.
‘I hope he gets the death penalty,’ inmate Harrison Papillon said. ‘I’d be shocked if he didn’t’
He’s been held without bail in the Moscow jail since January 4, pending his next court hearing on June 26. The case could get him the death penalty.
‘I hope he gets the death penalty,’ inmate Harrison Papillon said. ‘I’d be shocked if he didn’t.’
Latah jail officials remain tight-lipped about Kohberger’s time behind bars.
One official told DailyMail.com that Kohberger’s been well behaved during his time there, with no incidents. The official also pointed out that Kohberger’s strict vegan dietary needs are being met by the vendor that prepares meals for prisoners.
But despite his quiet demeanor, inmates say they’re well aware of the gruesome crime he’s accused of carrying out.
They follow the case intently on the news and discuss their infamous fellow inmate daily.
‘I’ve been reading about the whole case since it started and knew he was in there,’ said recently-released inmate Kyler Ledet. ‘It’s disturbing that something like that can happen in my hometown. I’m just happy I wasn’t in the same cell at his.’
‘I’ve only seen him a few times,’ he added. ‘He was wearing orange sweats and an orange t-shirt, with two guards accompanying him wherever he needs to go.
‘He always has the same expression, or non-expression,’ said one inmate. ‘He just looks straight ahead. I’ve never even seen his eyebrows or mouth move. He never says anything’
Ledet described the jail as ‘cold and disgusting.’
He shared a cell with five people, who get access to an adjoining ‘day room’ where they could watch TV, eat, shower and talk.
‘We’d always talk about the fact he was in the same jail with us,’ Ledet told DailyMail.com. ‘Nobody liked the guy, I could tell you that. There’s a lot of hatred. But we were in awe of him. Nothing like that really happens around Moscow. It shocked a lot of people.’
Papillon said he’s tried to get intel about Kohberger’s time in jail, but that the officers there don’t share much of anything.
‘He’s only about 30 feet from my cell,’ he said. ‘It’s truly crazy. I can’t believe I’m in here with one of the most infamous (alleged) mass murderers in the United States.’
