AP — A grand jury has indicted a man who was already charged in the stabbing deaths of 4 University of Idaho students.
Bryan Kohberger was arrested late last year & charged with burglary & 4 counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Nov. 13, 2022, killings of Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen & Kaylee Goncalves at a rental home near the University of Idaho campus. At the time, Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at nearby Washington State University & the killings left the close-knit communities of Moscow, Idaho & Pullman, Washington, reeling.
Court documents have already detailed much of the investigation that prosecutors say ties Kohberger to the slayings. A white sedan allegedly matching 1 owned by Kohberger was caught on surveillance footage repeatedly cruising past the rental home on a dead-end street around the time of the killings. Police say traces of DNA found on a knife sheath inside the home where the students were killed matches that of the 28-year-old Kohberger. Investigators also contend that a cellphone belonging to Kohberger was near the victims’ home on a dozen occasions prior to the killings, though it was apparently turned off around the time of the early-morning attack.
Kohberger was arrested Dec. 30, 2022, at his parents’ home in eastern Pennsylvania & law enforcement officials seized dark clothing, medical gloves, a flashlight & other items from the home. In Pullman, investigators seized stained bedding, strands of what appeared to be hair & a single glove from his WSU campus apartment.
Still, the unsealed court documents do not appear to suggest a motive.
Kernodle, Chapin, Mogen & Goncalves were friends & members of the university’s Greek system. The 3 women lived together in the rental home. Chapin — Kernodle’s boyfriend — was there visiting on the night of the attack.
