Swiping Right on Danger: Kohberger’s Tinder Talks Turn Chilling

In a bizarre twist that’s more fitting for a horror flick than a dating app, Bryan Kohberger, a convicted murderer, shocked a Tinder match by asking her what she thought was the worst way to die. Talk about a conversation starter! After she mentioned her friend had been murdered, Kohberger’s follow-up about knives—specifically a KA-BAR knife—sent her rushing to hit that “unmatch” button. I guess some questions are better left unasked, especially on a first date.

The creepy vibes didn’t stop there. According to police records, Kohberger’s fascination with death made the poor woman so uncomfortable that she cut off all communication. It’s hard to believe that someone who committed such a horrific act would think that diving into dark topics was an attractive icebreaker. But then again, when you’re a convicted killer, maybe small talk about the weather seems too mundane!

And let’s not forget that even Tinder couldn’t produce records of this chilling exchange when investigators came asking questions. It’s a grim reminder of how online anonymity can sometimes register with real-life consequences. Even as we chuckle nervously about how this date went south faster than a DC superhero flop, it raises a serious issue about online safety. So, what’s the wildest thing you’ve ever encountered while dating? Share your stories!
