The American Report By Mary Fanning and Alan Jones
The particularly eerie resemblance between fictional character Patrick Bateman, the well-to-do serial killer in the 2000 movie “American Psycho”, and Bryan Christopher Kohberger, the suspect arrested in the early morning hours of December 30, 2022, for the murders of four college students in Moscow, Idaho, certainly gives pause, as an example of life imitating art.
One wonders whether Kohberger, like the movie character Patrick Bateman, was trying on the mantle of the criminal mind by way of his undergraduate project. Or did he simply relate?
The American Psycho character Patrick Bateman is depicted as being 27 years old at the beginning of the film, around the same age of Kohberger, who is 28.
