Bryan Kohberger's mom called her son an "angel" after FBI agents arrested him for the slaughter of 4 Idaho college students -- and she even claimed the authorities got the wrong guy, according to a new report.
Maryann Kohberger was interviewed by 3 FBI agents following the 2022 raid on her Pennsylvania family home, during which Bryan was taken away in handcuffs, the Daily Mail reports.
Bryan was charged with murdering University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He later pleaded guilty to butchering the students with a Ka-bar knife as they slept in beds inside an Idaho home. Under a plea deal, Bryan was spared the death penalty and sentenced to life in prison.
The TikToker who was ordered to pay $10 million to the college professor for falsely accusing her of playing a role in the University of Idaho murders is fighting back in court ... TMZ has learned.
According to court docs obtained by TMZ, social media personality Ashley Guillard -- who goes by Ashley Solves Mysteries on TikTok -- compared the judgment entered against her to the “Salem Witch trials.”
Ashley claims she conducted a tarot card reading after the murders to get “information on who killed the students and why.”
She said her cards revealed to her that one of the slain students had a relationship with University of Idaho professor Rebecca Scofield and that Scofield "ordered the murders of the four students."

Idaho State Police have released nearly 3,000 photos from the crime scene left behind by Bryan Kohberger when he stabbed 4 unsuspecting University of Idaho students to death at their home in the small town of Moscow ... and now we're getting a look at their bedrooms -- some splattered in blood, while others remained seemingly untouched.
You can see some bedroom photographs are right out of a nightmare -- blood stains are splattered across walls, sheets and clothing. These rooms belonged to the 4 students who lost their lives to Kohberger's knife in November 2022 -- Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.

The families of the 4 University of Idaho students slaughtered by Bryan Kohberger in 2022 are suing the school where he was employed as a teaching assistant at -- Washington State University -- for damages, as they accuse the institution of failing to act on numerous warning signs about the murderer.
The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of Washington on Wednesday by family members of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin and is demanding Washington State be held liable for "its own decisions and actions to remain idle in the face of known extreme and repeated instances of discrimination, sexual harassment, and stalking by Kohberger occurring in its educational program."
The lawsuit argues that almost as soon as Kohberger arrived on campus in Pullman, Washington -- about 10 miles from the city of Moscow, where he murdered his victims -- he "developed a reputation for discriminatory, harassing, and stalking behavior, instilling substantial fear among young female students and fellow WSU employees, necessitating regular security escorts for multiple females."
Bryan Kohberger is getting hit with funeral costs for some of his victims while serving a life sentence for his savage murders -- and a judge says he's gotta cough up the cash for 2 urns.
An Idaho judge ruled Thursday Kohberger is on the hook for $3,007.79 to pay for the urns of 2 of his victims -- Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen. Kohberger was also ordered to pay $31,964.67 in restitution to the families of his other 2 victims -- Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

The convicted murderer's legal team was back in court Wednesday ... with Elisa Massoth leading the argument claiming Kohberger shouldn't have to pay up -- because the families of his victims already received tons of money from GoFundMe accounts they set up for travel and accommodation expenses.
The proceedings had a wrinkle thrown in immediately when Prosecutor Bill Thompson admitted he thought money agreed upon in the plea agreement could be used to reimburse victims in the case for travel expenses ... however, that's not allowed, and Thompson copped to the mistake, essentially withdrawing his request for $27K.
Bryan Kohberger abruptly agreed to a plea deal -- essentially ending his murder case before trial -- just days after his sister was added as a witness ... TMZ has learned.

Kohberger gives a little head nod to the greeter at the front of the store, but she stops him and apparently asks for proof of membership. The greeter then seemingly tells Kohberger he needs to leave if he doesn't have one.
