In the early morning of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed in an off-campus residence at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. On December 30, suspect Bryan Christopher Kohberger was arrested in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.[1] Prosecutors initially sought the death penalty.[2][3]

On July 2, 2025, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all charges against him in a deal to sentence him to four consecutive life sentences, avoiding the death penalty.[4][5]

Background

[edit]

During the fall 2022 semester, five female University of Idaho students lived in a rented off-campus residence in the rural college town of Moscow, Idaho.[6][7] The town of Moscow had not had a murder since 2015.[8] The three-story home had six bedrooms, two on each floor.[9][10] Built on a hillside, the house had an entrance on both the second and first floor.[11]

Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen had their bedrooms on the third floor.[11] Goncalves had recently moved out, but returned to show Mogen her new car.[12] On the night of the murders Goncalves stayed in Mogen's room.[11] The second floor had the home's kitchen and the bedrooms of Xana Kernodle and a surviving roommate. The night of the murders Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin was staying at the house in Kernodle's room. The first floor of the house had the bedroom of another surviving roommate.[13]

Events

[edit]

All five roommates and Chapin were in the home by 2:00 a.m on November 13, 2022.[9] Chapin and Kernodle had returned from on-campus party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity, arriving home at 1:45 a.m.[9][14] Mogen and Goncalves had gone to a downtown sports bar and then a food truck,[9][15][14][16] arriving home at 1:56 a.m.[17]

Between 2:26 to 2:52 a.m., Goncalves' phone made seven unanswered calls to her former long-time boyfriend, a fellow student. Between 2:44 to 2:52 a.m., Mogen's phone made three unanswered calls to the same person. Authorities investigated the calls[9][18] and concluded that the recipient was not involved in the crime.[19] Kernodle appears to have been awake when the killer entered the house,[20] as she had just received a DoorDash food order at around 4:00 a.m, and was using on the app TikTok on her phone at 4:12 a.m.[21][22][23]

A surviving roommate, who was asleep in her bedroom on the second floor, told investigators that she was awakened by a noise on the third floor that she initially thought was Goncalves and her pet dog. She stated she later heard a roommate saying something to the effect of "there's someone here."[22][24] The roommate believed this was Goncalves, although investigators believe it may have been Kernodle.[24]

The surviving roommate looked out her door but did not see anything. She stated she then heard what sounded like crying from Kernodle's room. She opened her door again and heard an unfamiliar male voice say, "It's okay; I'm going to help you."[22][24] Security cameras near the home picked up the sound of whimpering, a loud thud, and a dog barking numerous times starting around 4:17 a.m.[22] The surviving roommate opened her door a third time and saw a figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered his mouth and nose walking towards her. The man, whom the roommate stated she did not recognize, walked past her and exited through a sliding glass door in the kitchen.[25] The roommate stated she stood in a "frozen shock phase" and then locked herself in her room.[22][25]

The four victims were stabbed to death on the second and third floors of the residence, where they were in bed.[26] The victims were not gagged or restrained[27] and the walls were spattered with blood[citation needed]. Mogen and Goncalves were found in Mogen's room, and Kernodle and Chapin were found in Kernodle's room.[28][29]

Before the 911 call, the surviving roommates reportedly summoned friends to the residence because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and was not waking up.[30] Someone at the residence called 911 at 11:58 a.m.— over seven hours after the homicides occurred — on a surviving roommate's phone to request aid for an "unconscious person." The identity of the 911 caller was not released, but police confirmed the caller was not considered a suspect.[31][9][18][32] When police arrived, the door to the home was open, there was no sign of forced entry or damage in the house, and nothing appeared to be missing. The two surviving roommates were present when police arrived, as were other friends of the victims.

All four victims were pronounced dead at noon.[14] Detectives stated they believe the killings occurred sometime between 4:00 and 4:25 a.m.[24] Upon searching the residence, officers discovered Goncalves' dog — which she shared with her ex-boyfriend — alive and unharmed on the third floor.[33]

Victims

[edit]

Four University of Idaho students were killed:

Chapin was a freshman, Kernodle was a junior, and Goncalves and Mogen were both seniors.[35]

Response

[edit]

On the evening of November 13, the university canceled classes for November 14;[36] it also scheduled a candlelight vigil on the UI administration building lawn on the evening of November 16, then postponed it for two weeks.[37] From the day of the killings, investigators initially said that there was no risk to the community. Three days later, however, Moscow Police Chief James Fry said: "We cannot say that there is no threat to the community."[38]

Fall break was scheduled to begin after November 18, with classes resuming on November 28.[39] Many students and Moscow residents, not trusting initial police assurances and fearing for their safety, began an early Thanksgiving holiday exodus from the area. Other residents who stayed were anxious and cautious, and some professors canceled their classes.[40][41][42] Due to weather concerns, the candlelight vigil was moved indoors to the Kibbie Dome and held on the evening of November 30.[43]

Goncalve's and Chapin's fathers criticized the limited flow of information from police and the university to the victims' families.[44][38] TikTokers, self-proclaimed psychics, and social media users began to speculate and spread rumors and misinformation about the case on social media.[45][46][47] In response, the Moscow Police Department criticized the Internet sleuths for creating rampant online rumors and disrupting investigations, and in a December 2 news release stated: "There is speculation, without factual backing, stoking community fears and spreading false facts."[47] Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier said, "Tracking down rumors and quelling rumors about specific information and specific events that may not have happened is a huge distraction... We are not releasing specific details as we do not want to compromise the investigation."[48] They also warned that "people harassing or threatening those potentially involved with the case could face criminal charges."[47][45]

Investigation

[edit]

The Moscow Police Department (MPD) led the investigation of the stabbings with support from by the Idaho State Police (ISP) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).[30][16][49][50] Nearly 130 law enforcement members from the three agencies worked on the case.[17]

Autopsies on the four victims were performed in Spokane, Washington. The Latah County coroner stated the victims all appeared to have been stabbed multiple times (with fatal wounds in the chest and upper body) with a large knife (if not the same knife, very similar ones). At least one victim (with apparent defensive stab wounds on her hands) and possibly more appear to have tried to fend off the attacker, and the victims may have been attacked while asleep in bed.[51][52][53] None showed signs of sexual assault.[9] All four deaths were deemed homicide by stabbing.[27] The victims were not tied or gagged. No weapon has been recovered, although police believe the killer used a fixed-blade knife.[14][54]

A surviving roommate who reportedly saw the suspect described him as a male stranger around 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m), and "not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows".[55]

On November 19, Moscow police requested the public provide any video of the house that was recorded the night of the killings.[56] A phone tip line and email address were created through the FBI for the public to submit information to officials. As of December 5, 2,600 emailed tips, 2,700 phone calls, and 1,000 digital media submissions were reportedly submitted to the tip lines.[57][38] On December 24, investigators reported receiving over 15,000 tips regarding the case.[47]

The police initially left open the possibility of multiple perpetrators.[9] Police stated that they believed it was "a targeted attack but have not concluded if the target was the residence or its occupants."[58]

In a November 23 press conference, the Moscow police chief said that authorities received a number of tips, including one indicating that Goncalves had a stalker, but could not verify that claim or identify any such individual by the time of the press conference.[59] While this claim received much press attention at the time, it has yet to be mentioned in the case against the eventual suspect.

After receiving hundreds of tips from the public, on December 15 police announced they were searching records of approximately 22,000 fifth-generation Hyundai Elantras made between 2011 and 2013.[56] A camera in the area captured video of a white or light-colored Elantra around the time of the murders, which investigators noticed made multiple passes along the same route near the residence.[22] Another surveillance recording obtained by investigators also showed an Elantra passing the victims' home three times, beginning around 3:29 a.m.[21] At 4:04 a.m., the Elantra returned for a fourth time. At 4:20 a.m., the car was seen speeding away from the victims' neighborhood.[21]

Investigators in neighboring Pullman, Washington⁠ — a college town adjacent to Moscow — began investigating a white Elantra owned by 28-year-old PhD candidate and teaching assistant Bryan Christopher Kohberger, who drove it home to the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania for the holidays with his father. Kohberger's Elantra was of a later year than the original police description. In Indiana, Kohberger was pulled over twice in a nearly five-mile (8 km) radius by the state police on Interstate 70 outside Greenfield for following too close (tailgating);[60][61] the FBI denied that it directed the state police to make the stops.[62] Investigators obtained cell phone data showing that Kohberger's phone stopped connecting to the network in Pullman around 2:47 a.m. on November 13 before reconnecting around 4:48 a.m. near Blaine, Idaho,[21] which is near U.S. Highway 95 south of Moscow.[63] Cell phone data also shows that his phone connected to a cell tower near the victims' residence around 9:00 a.m., approximately five hours after the killings and pinged from the cell phone tower nearest the residence at least twelve times between June 2022 and November 13.[22][64]

Investigators obtained three unidentified male DNA samples from the crime scene, including DNA found on a tan leather knife sheath on Mogen's bed.[22]

Using a public genealogy database, authorities reportedly identified a partial match to an individual with a familial connection to Kohberger.[65] Investigators recovered trash from outside Kohberger's family's home in Pennsylvania for DNA, which they stated was consistent with the source of the DNA from the sheath.[22]

Before the arrest, investigators monitored Kohberger outside his parents' Pennsylvania home in Monroe County.[66] He was seen multiple times wearing surgical gloves and placing trash bags inside a neighbor's garbage can; the items were sent to the Idaho State Lab for testing.[66] Authorities also said Kohberger "cleaned his car, inside and outside, not missing an inch [of area]."[66] According to authorities, a search of the home where Kohberger was arrested revealed a knife, a pistol, and a black face mask,[67] as well as ID cards in a glove box.[68]

Kohberger was taken into custody by an FBI SWAT team and state police on December 30 at his parents' home;[69] authorities found Kohberger in the kitchen dressed in a shirt and shorts, wearing examination gloves, and putting trash into separate zip-lock baggies.[70]

Perpetrator

[edit]

Bryan Christopher Kohberger was born on November 21, 1994.[71] After graduating from Pleasant Valley High School in Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, in 2013, he attended Monroe Career and Technical Institute in Bartonsville but dropped out a year later.[72] In 2015, he began work as a security officer for the Pleasant Valley School District. Kohberger later attended Northampton Community College's campus in Tannersville, where he earned an associate degree in psychology in 2018. His education included undergraduate degrees in psychology and cloud-based forensics,[73] and an MA in 2022 in Criminal Justice from DeSales University, in Center Valley, Pennsylvania.[74]

In the summer of 2022, Kohberger moved to Washington state to pursue a PhD at Washington State University (WSU) in Pullman; its campus is less than eight miles (13 km) west of Moscow.[75][76][77][78] At the time of the killings, he was a doctoral student in criminology and had completed his first semester there nine days before his arrest.[79][80] Kohberger had been a teaching assistant at WSU, and less than two weeks before the murders, faculty members met with him to discuss growing concerns and complaints about his behavior and conduct toward women. Kohberger was terminated from his teaching assistant role on December 19, in a decision based on his behavior and performance overall.[81][82]

Kohberger is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and obsessive–compulsive disorder.[83] He wrote online that he faced mental health challenges, suffers from tinnitus, and has a condition called visual snow syndrome.[84]

[edit]

Arrest and charges

[edit]

On December 30, 2022, Kohberger was arrested on four counts of first-degree murder and one felony count of burglary, was appointed a public defender, and was detained without bond at the Monroe County Correctional Facility in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. On his return to the county courthouse on January 3, 2023, he agreed to extradition.[85] On January 4, he was flown to Pullman, driven to the Latah County jail in Moscow, and held without bail.[86][87]

Kohberger made his first appearance in the Latah County Courthouse on January 5 and was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary, for breaking into a home with the intent to commit a felony.[88] One week later on January 12, Kohberger made his second appearance for a status conference in the same room at the courthouse.[89]

On May 17, 2023, the Latah County District Court announced that Kohberger was indicted by a grand jury on five charges: four counts of first degree murder and one count of felony burglary.[90] A preliminary probable cause hearing scheduled for June 26 was canceled after the indictment.[91] In May 2023, Kohberger refused to enter a plea during his arraignment. His attorney said that Kohberger was "standing silent" on the charges. The judge entered a 'not guilty' plea for him.[92]

On June 26, the Latah County Prosecutor's office announced they were seeking the death penalty given the aggravating circumstances of the first-degree murder charges.[2] Kohberger was denied bond.[93] In January 2024, the judge granted the defense access under seal the results of the investigative genetic genealogy testing which used a "touch" sample from the knife sheath left behind at the crime scene which first led to the investigation of Kohberger.[94]

Plea deal and sentencing

[edit]

On September 9, 2024, the judge granted the defense's motion for a change of venue; the trial was scheduled to take place in Boise, with Judge Steven Hippler presiding over the case.[95][96][97] Kohberger was flown south to Boise on September 15, and held at the Ada County jail.[97] Judge Hippler tentatively set the start date for jury selection as August 4, 2025, with the jury trial beginning on August 18.[98]

On June 30, 2025, it was announced that Kohberger had agreed to a deal to plead guilty to all counts against him and would be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences, avoiding the death penalty. Pending approval by the judge, Kohberger would also give up his right to any future appeals, guaranteeing that he will remain in prison until he dies.[99] On July 2, Kohberger pled guilty to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary; his sentencing is scheduled for July 23.[100][101]

Aftermath

[edit]

On February 24, 2023, University of Idaho president C. Scott Green announced that the house where the killings occurred was donated to the university; it was demolished 10 months later on December 28.[102][103][104]

A memorial garden for the victims on the University of Idaho campus opened in 2024 as the Vandal Healing Garden.[105] Scholarships in the name of three of the victims (Kernodle, Chapin, and Mogen) have been created.[102][103]

The university awarded posthumous degrees to the four victims at its spring commencement ceremonies on May 13, 2023.[106]
