“I’m 22 years old, and I’m still a virgin,” he said in the video, per CNN. “I’ve never even kissed a girl… I don’t know why you girls aren’t attracted to me, but I will punish you all for it.”
Rodger went on to say he planned to enter “the hottest sorority house” and “slaughter every spoiled, stuck-up, blonde s–t I see inside there.”
Four years after Rodger’s attack, a 25-year-old named Alek Minassian ran down 10 people, mostly women, in Toronto, Canada. He credited his inspiration to Rodger.
Before the crime, as per the BBC, Minassian posted on Facebook: “The Incel Rebellion has already begun! We will overthrow all the Chads and Stacys! All hail the Supreme Gentleman Elliot Rodger!”
Facebook group admin Kristine Cameron said she started drawing links between the Facebook handle Pappa Rodger and Elliot Rodger following Kohberger’s arrest.
“If you listen to some of the manifestos of Elliot Rodger, he talks about hating all the girls from Alpha Phi, the same sorority that Kaylee [Goncalves] was in.”
Liz Garbus, co-director of One Night in Idaho, told TIME, “It does seem like girls were the intended victims of Bryan’s rage.”
It is important to note that it has not been officially confirmed whether Kohberger was inspired by Rodger.
