Holly had that in common with Brian Kohlberger. She'd also moved away from home to work on a graduate degree, hers in plant science.

Holly told Brian about a hiking group she was part of, and then she did something that still makes her shiver a little.

Oh, he wasn't alone, apparently. Besseth watched Brian Koberger approach a young woman he, Besseth, had his eye on.

But that wasn't all that happened to the pool party. A source close to the investigation has told us something a party goer observed, that at one point, Brian Koberger became fixated on two young women dressed in bikinis. Fixated was the word our source used. But one of the women was married and gave her nearby husband a nonverbal signal, rescue me.

So the husband approached Koberger and the women jumped into the pool. But we're told that Kohlberger didn't take the hint, brushed off the husband, moved over to the edge of the pool, near the women. It was all very off-putting, the partygoer would later say. It was the very next day, the day after the pool party, when Holly's cell phone buzzed. A message from Brian Kohlberger.

So did Holly, in fact, let Brian Koberger know about plans to hike, as he had asked? No, she did not.

Holly never saw him again. Unlike that other party goer. One you've already met. Catalyst, the Ph.D.J.,

It was not long after the pool party at that place they called The Grove in Moscow, Idaho, the man known as Catalyst the Ph.D.J. ran into him again. Ran into Brian Kohlberger, that is.

Zach and some friends were descending Kamiak Butte, a 3,600-foot summit that shoots up out of the grain fields of the Palouse about 15 miles outside Pullman. It's a popular hiking destination. Night was closing in as they picked their way down the slope. And then there he was, Brian Kohlberger, except he was walking up the hill alone into the dark.
