The Tail of Two Bryans - Bryan's Identical Twin

Moscow, ID, - These days, everyone has some theory about Bryan Kohberger, but the identical twin story is spot on.

It supposedly explains some of his more cryptic statements, like when he asked if anyone else had been arrested and his eerie "I'm here to help you."

The story goes like this: Bryan, at some point, discovered a dark family secret.

His mother had given away one of her identical twin boys at birth, Aryan Christopher Kohberger, with little to no paper trail. It was a closed adoption, one of those backdoor deals that left no official record. Anonymous hospital staff told us that the mom, in her drug induced confusion after having twins, had named both boys Ryan Christopher. To tell them apart, hospital staff had simply put an A for one, and a B for the other. This somehow transferred to their birth certificates as Aryan and Bryan. Nevertheless, something in Bryan must have felt the missing connection, a pull toward an unknown part of himself.

Being obsessive, meticulous, and deeply into criminology, Bryan used every resource available to track his twin down. And when he finally found him, it wasn’t a tearful reunion—it was an opportunity. The two of them had already been living eerily parallel lives. They shared the same genetic predispositions, the same mannerisms, the same dark thoughts. Even the same bushy eyebrows. Their bond was instant, like two halves finally made whole again. 

For years, they began standing in for each other. One would attend classes while the other studied elsewhere. One would take a test, the other would show up for social events. They blurred the lines of identity so much that, to outsiders, Bryan Kohberger seemed to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They even bought matching Elantras, except Aryan's was lime green.

Then came the Idaho murders. The plan was airtight, the execution methodical—until a crucial miscalculation. They hadn’t accounted for the exact number of people in the house that night. Bryan’s twin had to step in.

One of the surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen, later told authorities that she heard movement and peeked out of her room. She saw a masked man dressed in black and, more chillingly, overheard a male voice say, "It's OK. I'm going to help you."

What if that wasn’t Bryan speaking, but his twin? What if, in the chaos of their flawed plan, his brother had stepped in, reassuring Bryan that he was there to assist?

So when Bryan was arrested and asked if anyone else had been arrested, it wasn’t some cryptic mind game, it was a genuine question. He assumed the police had caught his twin, too.

And here's where it gets even crazier, what if their identical DNA was part of the plan? 

A forensic nightmare. Identical twins share the same genetic markers, making it nearly impossible to distinguish between them through standard DNA testing. Some rare studies suggest subtle epigenetic differences can tell them apart, but good luck using that in a court case. If both twins’ DNA was at the crime scene, who could prove which one was actually there?

 While Anne Taylor and Bryan's legal team scramble to conjure "alternate perpetrators" in a desperate bid to muddy the waters, Bryan's identical twin, Aryan—his name a hospital fluke screaming irony—slips through the cracks, seemingly invisible to all. Or so he thinks, as the net tightens around the Kohberger doppelgänger no one saw coming—or going.

Of course, it's just a wild theory. But hey, in a case like this, the truth might be stranger than fiction.
