American Wire News added more to the story:
Fox News host Laura Ingraham featured an expert criminal profiler on “The Ingraham Angle,” who offered his take on why the killer spared Mortensen by suggesting that he likely wanted to “get out of Dodge” after killing the other four students.
“I think he was in a rush to get out of the house,” criminal profiler John Kelly told Ingraham when she asked why a murderer would want to leave a surviving witness.
“Usually with these types of killers, at a certain point — don’t forget, he’s tired. He’s killed a number of people already. At this point in time, maybe something’s getting to him and he just wants to put himself between him and the bodies as quick as possible,” Kelly explained. “He just wants to get out of Dodge as fast as he can.”
Ingraham commented on Kohberger’s “cannibalistic tendencies,” citing a Newsweek story in which a forensic psychiatrist spoke about the suspect’s “obsessive-compulsive eating habits.”
“He had a bizarre approach to eating,” she said. “A forensic psychiatrist said that he reported compulsive obsessive compulsive eating habits indicating he was afraid he’d be addicted to meat if he ate it… and it represented his struggle against his cannibalistic urges.”
Calling the report “freakshow central,” she gave Kelly the floor to respond.
“Yeah, this is central freak show. You’re absolutely right. I mean, I don’t know what I’m going to hear next,” he said. “Bottom line is when you look at this obsessive-compulsive behavior, if you look at every serial killer — and we’ve done research on this — you will find that they have some type of obsessive-compulsive behavior.”
“And like Dahmer, cannibalism is up for grabs. You know, it can happen,” Kelly added.
"He refused to eat off of pots or plates that had had meat on them.
Psychologically, this represents his struggle against his cannibalistic urges,"
No, this represents the neurotic fear of meat that vegans have.

Newsweek broke the story:
The man charged in connection with the slayings of four University of Idaho students battled with “cannibalistic urges,” a forensic psychiatrist told Newsweek.
Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. student and teaching assistant in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University, was arrested at his parents’ home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, on Friday, authorities said.
Kohberger is accused of breaking into a rental house in Moscow, Idaho, and fatally stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the early morning hours on November 13.
In the days since his arrest, details about Kohberger’s life have emerged—including how he follows a strict vegan diet and has reportedly struggled with heroin addiction in the past.
Forensic psychiatrist Carole Lieberman told Newsweek that Kohberger’s reported “obsessive-compulsive eating habits” indicate he was afraid he would become addicted to meat if he ate it.
“He was not only vegan, he refused to eat off of pots or plates that had had meat on them. Psychologically, this represents his struggle against his cannibalistic urges,” she said.
