Bryan Kohberger’s Tinder match recounts chilling encounter with killer before shutting it down

A Tinder date who matched with Bryan Kohberger just weeks before he murdered four students said he immediately bombarded her with disturbing questions about murders — and even mentioned the “Ka Bar” knife he used in the University of Idaho slayings.

The creepy encounter was detailed in a trove of newly unsealed documents released by cops after Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison this week for butchering the four college kids back in 2022.

The woman, who was only identified as “C” in the redacted files, told police she’d matched with the cold-blooded killer on the dating app just weeks before the murders — but she quickly ended things when the conversation took a sinister turn.

After discussing a murder that happened years earlier in the woman’s town, Kohberger started probing her on what her favorite horror movie was, the police report stated.

“C told Kohberger she liked the Rob Zombie Halloween movies. To this, C said Kohberger asked what she thought would be the worst way to die,” the files said.

“C said she thought it would be a knife.”

Kohberger then asked, “something to the effect of ‘like a Ka Bar?’”

The convicted killer had purchased the same brand of military-style knife on Amazon in the months before the stabbings.

The Tinder date told cops that she had to Google the knife and eventually stopped talking to him “because his questions made her uncomfortable.”

It wasn’t clear when the woman called in the tip.

The report, though, noted there was “nothing to corroborate” her story because she didn’t have access to her Tinder account anymore.

The chilling account was among the scores of tips detailed in the files that police probed as they hunted down Kohberger.

The documents were released just hours after Kohberger, who pleaded guilty weeks before his trial was to start in a deal to avoid the death penalty, was handed four life sentences for murdering Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin on Nov. 13, 2022.
