Jared and Heather Barnhart analyzed Coburger's digital life, including his cell phone and computer records for investigators.
He had 18 total contacts in his phone.
One person was labeled as maintenance and another was AT&T.
He called them mother and father, even through text message.
He would say, mother, where is father?
And she would respond, your dad is in the garage, Brian.
It was all mother and father, hours of talking, text messaging.
It's not weird that he was taking selfies.
The weird part is that he never did something with it.
He didn't take a selfie to send it to someone else.
As the semester progresses, instructors at WSU start to raise concerns about Coburger's conduct in the program.
Coburger started to get a really bad reputation on campus.
He didn't seem to respect female professors, was showing up late to class, having some weird social problems where he would block doorways when students were trying to talk to him.
They felt that he would try to, at times, trap them.
and there were lots of allegations that he was bothering girls, and this is especially problematic when there's a power dynamic.
