In an interview with “Inside Edition,” Guillard said that she first met Kohberger in August 2022, when he started working as a teaching assistant in the criminal justice department at the University of Idaho.
She said that Kohberger was “always really quiet and kept to himself.”
“He never really interacted with the other teaching assistants,” she said. “He always seemed to be in a hurry.”
Guillard said that she started to get a “weird feeling” about Kohberger after he began asking her about the security cameras in the building where the murders took place.
“He was asking me about the cameras, and I thought it was kind of weird,” she said. “I didn’t know why he would be asking me about that.”
Guillard said that she reported Kohberger’s behavior to her supervisor, who then reported it to the police.
