Idaho Police Release Hundreds of Photos From Bryan Kohberger Murder Investigation

Idaho State Police have released hundreds of images from Bryan Kohberger's spartan apartment in Pullman, Washington, where he was a criminology Ph.D. student when he murdered four University of Idaho students in 2022. The photos reveal a bleak living space with minimal belongings, including crime-related books, school essays critical of the death penalty, and personal items such as birthday cards from family. Among the books found was one on the sexual victimization of college women, reflecting Kohberger's academic focus. His academic work appeared ordinary according to a former professor, with some essays critiquing local police training and supporting progressive prosecutors. A whiteboard in his office bore messages like "Take it easy!" and "Don't give up," contrasting with the grim nature of his crimes. Kohberger pleaded guilty in 2025, avoiding the death penalty, and is currently held in a maximum-security prison where he reports being threatened by other inmates.
