Pappa Rodger and Kohberger: How Pappa Rodger Mirrored Kohberger’s Survey Questions (And EVERYTHING Else!)
If Segment 1 introduced the Pappa Rodger mystery, Segment 2 takes us straight into the details that make it impossible to ignore. The most unsettling? Pappa Rodger’s prediction about a knife sheath before it was ever public knowledge. That wasn’t a casual guess. That was either inside information or a voice speaking with terrifying precision.
In this segment, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer break down the eerie overlaps between Pappa Rodger’s online posts and Kohberger’s criminology work. The survey questions, the fixation on entry points, the obsession with why this house was chosen — the parallels are chilling. Even down to specific vocabulary. Coffindaffer highlights how Pappa Rodger used the word “dolt” — a term uncommon enough to feel like a signature, and one that mirrors the academic arrogance Kohberger displayed in real life.
And then came the confusion: Pappa Rodger disappearing from one group, only for a “copycat” with the same profile picture to appear. Was that Kohberger trying to cover his tracks, or someone else hijacking the persona? The ambiguity has fueled speculation for years.
Law enforcement says it wasn’t him. But then why do the words sound like his? Why does the timeline match his behavior? Why do his online arguments mirror how he treated students, professors, and acquaintances in person?
This segment digs into the forensic linguistics, the digital breadcrumbs, and the bizarre coincidences that make Pappa Rodger one of the most enduring mysteries in the Kohberger case. If it wasn’t him, then someone out there was haunting these forums with uncanny knowledge. And that may be the scariest possibility of all.
