Idaho Murder Files Reveal Stalking, New Kohberger Details

Following Bryan Kohberger's sentencing, the Moscow Police Department released extensive documents revealing graphic details of the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. The records describe the crime scene as extraordinarily gruesome, with Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen found unrecognizable and Xana Kernodle suffering over 50 stab wounds, indicating intense struggles. Incidents prior to the attack, such as a damaged front door and sightings of a man lurking outside, raised suspicions of stalking. Kohberger, a former criminology Ph.D. student, pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty and received four life sentences without parole, declining to explain his actions or offer an apology. The documents also detail Kohberger's unusual behavior in jail and his presence near the victims' home months before the murders. The case has had a profound effect on the local community, with families expressing deep grief and anger at sentencing.
