Reddit channel 'Brynation' which sprang up in support of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger banned

A Reddit channel for supporters of Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger has been banned - yet there are Facebook fan groups with thousands of members still active. 

Kohberger, 28, is accused in the November 13 slayings of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20. 

Since his arrest, the former Washington State University grad student has received an unexpected amount of support from fans coming to his defense on various social media platforms - with one woman even sending him love letters. 

But recently, a subreddit channel 'Bryanation' - was banned for repeatedly violating Reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct, according to the site. Some discussions on the channel included 'I find Bryan hot but don't want to! Ideas?' and 'What was it about Bryan that got your liking?'

A five-day preliminary hearing in the suspected killer's case is scheduled to begin on June 26. Just last week, the president of the university announced that the house in Moscow, Idaho where the students were slain will be demolished

Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He was arrested on December 30 by a SWAT team at his parents home in Pennsylvania as they moved to search his apartment at Washington State University.

He has previously indicated that he believes he will 'be exonerated', with his family unable to pay for him to have private representation.

A new search warrant, made public on January 17, shows that police found several hair strands, including one suspected animal hair, a black glove, a computer tower and one unnamed item with a collection of 'dark red spots'.

They also hauled away a pillow with a 'reddish/brown stain' on it and the top and bottom of a mattress cover with 'multiple stains'.

The details have been heavily discussed and debated among sleuthing groups on multiple social media platforms. 

But there are also multiple groups online with thousands of members defending the suspected killer and calling for justice for the former Washington State University grad student who studied criminology. 

While the Bryanation reddit channel was recently banned, with no further details available, there are still many groups on Facebook. 

One group called 'Justice For Bryan Kohberger' has a whopping 12,000 members. Another has 3,600 members. Both groups remain active as of Tuesday.

The group's description quotes Ronald Jones, a man wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a woman

The group's description quotes Ronald Jones, a man wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a woman: 'It's about whether or not you can prove you're innocent. If you can't prove you're innocent, then you're considered guilty. It's been flipped: Now it's guilty until proven innocent.'

One member wrote: 'I wanted to do a love spell on Bryan Kohberger, but I heard it's dangerious. He might end up getting hurt, and that's the last thing I wanted to do it.'

A commenter responded: 'Infact do the spell the family's will not mind him been hurt at all, although I don't no why u need to try because I hardly think Bryan is looking for a hocus pocus nut job either but go on do your spell and let us no ups date in a month?'

Another commenter asked them to live stream it. 

In another post, a member asked if Kohberger has ever called or written them back. And if he ever uses the money people send him. 

Joseph Giacalone, a retired New York Police Department sergeant and adjunct professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, told Newsweek that he views members of such groups as online 'defense attorneys.'

'They'll examine everything available to try and prove that the case against him is weak,' he said. 'All I can say is we only know a tiny bit of the evidence that has tied him to the crime due to all the gag orders. So there is a strong possibility that they might end up disappointed.'

There are other groups that appear to be in support of Kohberger, but remain under 500 members. All of the Facebook groups are private. 

Earlier this month, a Kentucky woman reveled that she is 'lovesick' over Kohberger describing him as the 'perfect man for her' and her 'divine masculine counterpart' - and hopes he feels the same way about her.

Brittney Hislope, 35, a single mother of a 16-year-old boy, has been writing love letters and sending sultry photos of herself to the alleged killer.

The lovestruck mom began sharing her infatuation with the alleged killer on January 4 in a lengthy 2,550-word post though she has never spoken or met with him.

A recent post that revealed Hislope's fixation on the accused Idaho killer 

In one post she writes 'one way to describe my feelings for him over the last week or so … is kind of like being lovesick.' And in another, she refers to a lovemaking scene in the 1987 vampire film 'The Lost Boys' stating that 'I'd want to be with my love interest Bryan in those ways.'

In a recent post, she spoke about her 'sensations' and desires and shares previous relationships that she had that didn't work out and calls Kohberger her 'twin flame.'

'With me being deprived of a love and sex life for so long, and only wanting one with someone I truly want wholeheartedly, with my feelings for Bryan I've had to be true to myself in reaching out to him.'

She wrote in a post on Friday giving insight on why she feels as she does and how she had added hearts and a pair of lip stickers to his mugshot that she said, 'it penetrated something in me emotionally.'

'Some people may not understand that with Bryan being my love interest that I'm fixated on, I don't think of being with others in the ways that I think of being with him.

'Thoughts of being with him also give me sensations that I wouldn't get when thinking of someone else, because I have deep feelings for Bryan and am fixated on him although I don't know how he feels about me and if there's someone else he wants instead, even though that wouldn't be ideal for my divine masculine counterpart to be that way.'

'Although when I have thoughts of being with him in certain ways it gives me bodily sensations that are real, although you may not understand what I'm meaning, I also feel a love for him that isn't just sexual in nature.'

'As I've me know before, the mugshot of him that I added hearts to and a pair of lip stickers, seeing that picture for the first time affected me, before I added the stickers to it, and it penetrated something in me emotionally.'

It is unclear if Kohberger has been receiving any of Hislope's heartsick letters in his prison cell. When DailyMail.com reached out to Hislope she did not respond.

As Kohberger awaits his hearing in June, it was announced last week that the house where four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in November will be demolished, school officials said last week.

The owner of the home in Moscow offered to give it to the university and the school accepted, University President Scott Green said in a memo to students and employees.

'This is a healing step and removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed,' Green wrote.

No timeline has set for the demolition, but university spokesperson Jodi Walker told the Idaho Statesman that the goal is to have the house knocked down by the end of the semester.

President of the University Scott Green confirmed last week that the home on King Street in Moscow, Idaho where the students were killed is set to be demolished as a 'healing step'

'We're just working through the processes that it takes to do such a thing,' Walker said. 'But from the university standpoint, and in talking with the families, the sooner, the better.'

Walker also said the university is working with students and other community members to create a plan for the property´s future development that would honor the slain students.

The victims' bodies were found on Nov. 13 at the rental home, which is across the street from the university campus.

Green also announced Friday that planning has started on a memorial for the four students. The memorial will be the focus of a garden in a location to be determined on campus grounds. 

Scholarships in honor of the students are also being established.
