A woman who claimed to have gone on a date with accused Idaho University murderer Bryan Kohberger seven years ago said he ‘kept trying to touch her’ and told her she had ‘good birthing hips.’
The woman, named Hayley, posted a TikTok video and recounted her alleged brief courtship with the suspected killer. The clip, posted Monday, has now been viewed more than one million times.
Speaking about the criminology student, 28, she claimed: ‘We matched on Tinder. We talked for a couple hours and then he was like, “Hey, you want to go to the movies with me tonight?”
‘I was like, sure. So we went to the movies.’
Bryan Kohberger was arrested on December 30 at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania. He first appeared in Idaho court on January 5
The woman said her contact with the alleged killer was ‘very brief,’ lasting no more than 24 hours, and occurred seven years ago.
She said she did not recall the movie she and Kohberger saw together, but they ended up back at her college dorm, where according to her, Kohberger ‘invited himself inside.’
He then allegedly proposed watching another movie, which she agreed to do.
But during the second viewing, she claimed he ‘kept trying to touch me.’
‘Not like inappropriately, just like trying to tickle and like, rub my shoulder and stuff,’ she said.
She proceeded to ask him why he was touching her, which caused him to get ‘super serious,’ she said.
TikTok user Hayley says she posted the video on social media in order to dispel rumors that have begun to circulate on other platforms about her past connection to Kohberger
Kohberger, 28, is accused of murdering Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin on November 13 in the quiet, college town of Moscow, Idaho
‘I’m not,’ he then said, according to her.
‘You are though,’ she recalls retorting, saying then that Kohberger was attempting to ‘gaslight me into thinking that he didn’t touch me, which is weird.’
She clarified that she did not feel in danger and wasn’t ‘scared of him,’ but did want him to leave after a time, which led her to pretending to throw up in the dorm hall’s bathroom.
She then claimed Kohberger followed her to the bathroom and ‘stood outside the door,’ which she also thought was ‘weird.’
The staged puking episode, she said, was her attempt to get him to leave ‘mostly because I’m socially awkward.’
‘I didn’t know how to ask him to leave,’ she said.
She said she is hopeful that her story might help young women make better decisions about the men they go on dates with
Eventually, he sent her a message on the dating app that said he was leaving, which meant her plan had worked.
‘Then about an hour later, he texted me and said I had good birthing hips, so I never talked to him again,’ she concluded.
In a follow up video, Hayley explained that she posted her initial story to dispel falsehoods about the encounter that had begun to make the rounds on various social media platforms.
She added that she hopes other young women will be careful when meeting up with strangers.
‘Just be aware of who you’re meeting up with and maybe save another 19-year-old girl from being stupid,’ she said.
‘I was lucky that he didn’t hurt me and I was lucky that no one else I went on Tinder dates with hurt me but things could have ended very differently.’
Kohberger, 28, is a doctoral student and teaching assistant in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University.
He was arrested at his family’s home in Pennsylvania on December 30 and was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.
He is suspected of having broken into an off-campus student house near the University of Idaho and stabbing four students to death in the early hours of the morning on November 13.
Two other housemates were inside the rental home at the time of the murders, but were not attacked.
One of them, detectives revealed last week, saw a masked man exit the house.
Last week, Judge Megan Marshall issued a gag order on the case, preventing investigators and attorneys on both sides from making public statements about the many facets of the pending case.Kohberger’s pubic defender said his client is ‘eager to be exonerated of these charges’ and ‘should be presumed innocent until proven otherwise.’
Last week, an unsealed probable cause affidavit revealed that DNA evidence, surveillance footage and cell phone data led investigating officers to Kohberger as the suspected killer.
Following extradition from Pennsylvania, he made his first appearance in court in Idaho on January 5.
