Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of stabbing to deathfour University of Idaho studentsin Nov. 2022, interviewed for a job at the Pullman, Wash., police department in the months leading up to the slayings.

“Chief Jenkins, It was a great pleasure to meet with you today and share my thoughts and excitement regarding the research assistantship for public safety. I look forward to hearing from you,” Kohberger wrote.

Minutes later, Jenkins responded writing, “Great to meet and talk with you as well.”

According to thejob description, some of the duties for a graduate research assistant include organizing and analyzing data, producing research briefs, working collaboratively with the agency and providing assistance and supervision to undergraduate research assistants.
