Convicted Bryan Kohberger Details Idaho Student Murders

Bryan Kohberger, a criminology PhD student, has admitted to murdering four University of Idaho students—Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin—in November 2022, ending a years-long investigation. Prosecutors revealed that Kohberger meticulously planned the attack, breaking into the victims' home through a sliding glass door on the second floor, killing two students on the third floor before returning to the second floor to kill the other two. Evidence against him included DNA found on a knife sheath left at the scene, which was linked to a knife he purchased, and cell phone data showing frequent presence near the crime scene prior to the murders. Kohberger turned off his phone during the time of the killings and was captured on surveillance footage near the house. Despite his guilty plea and detailed confession, Kohberger's motive remains undisclosed, frustrating the victims' families who wanted a full trial. A documentary titled "The Idaho Student Murders" explores the case, questioning whether authorities have the full truth and examining Kohberger's background and behavioral patterns.
