Documents Reveal Stalking Incidents Before Idaho Quadruple Murders

In the weeks leading up to the brutal stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students, including Kaylee Goncalves, there were several unsettling incidents at their rental home, such as a man seen staring at Goncalves while she walked her dog and the front door found open and loose on its hinges. These details emerged from hundreds of police documents released shortly after Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for the killings. Survivors and friends reported these strange occurrences, though it remains unclear if they were directly connected to the murders or if Kohberger was the man observed. Police investigation revealed Kohberger had been surveilling the home for some time, but his precise motive and reasons for choosing the particular residence are still unknown. The documents also highlighted the intense law enforcement efforts to follow every lead, but Kohberger declined to explain his actions during sentencing, leaving families without closure. Additional nearby incidents, such as a reported attempted break-in at a neighboring house, raised questions about possible practice runs or related activity prior to the attack.
