University of Idaho Releases More Details On Professor Who Killed Student

A niversity of Idaho professor who gunned down a graduate student he had dated, then took his own life, had disclosed his bipolar disorder when he was hired in 2007.

University President Duane Nellis held a press conference Wednesday to discuss 31-year-old Ernesto Bustamante.

In a detailed timeline, the university says Bustamante disclosed to the psychology department that he managed his mental illness with medication. But as early as the fall of his first semester on the Moscow campus, female students expressed concerns about Bustamante's behavior.

He was found dead in his hotel room on Aug. 23 with six guns and medications for bipolar disorder and severe anxiety. Police a day earlier found the body of 22-year-old Katy Benoit, who was shot nearly a dozen times outside her Moscow home.  The university is releasing tomorrow some 4,200 documents in response to a public records request from Idaho newspapers and broadcasters.
