A man arrested Thursday night in connection with the deaths of four University of Idaho students last month was a criminology major. Here is what we know so far!
A few weeks after the four murders, the father of the University of Idaho murder suspect went from Pennsylvania to Washington to accompany his son on a cross-country road trip.
Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old PhD student at Washington State University in Pullman, did not undertake the 2,000-mile trek back to his family home alone, according to his public defender.
Bryan Kohberger Was Accompanied by His Father
Kohberger was sighted with his father in the white Hyundai Elantra that police were searching for, including on December 16 at a vehicle repair shop in Pennsylvania.
Friday marked the end of a month-long manhunt for the murderer responsible for the horrible killings of Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21.
On the night of the killings, surveillance film captured a white Hyundai Elantra parked near the residence at 3 a.m., when the murders happened. The police assume it was Kohberger's. The automobile was recovered at the Ph.D. student's parents' house in Pennsylvania, where he had driven it back to Pennsylvania.
According to Daily Mail, unidentified personnel at the auto repair business verified that Kohberger and his father brought their vehicle in for servicing following the trip,
A source said Koherberger's father was bragging about travelling out to the west coast to join his son on his holiday vacation home, and he recalled the 28-year-old as being reticent. It is unknown if Koherberger's father was aware of the killings. The automobile was eventually retrieved by police at Kohberger's parents' residence, where he was detained.
According to a recent report, the criminology student suspected of killing four University of Idaho students followed his alleged victims before to the November murders and wore gloves at a grocery weeks afterwards.
Per NY Post, a source connected to one of the case's detectives stated that Bryan Kohberger was frequently in the same vicinity as the three sorority sisters and one of their boyfriends before he reportedly slashed them to death while they slept at an off-campus residence.
Even when he escaped to his home state of Pennsylvania in recent days, Kohberger reportedly took care not to leave fingerprints behind, according to a person who spoke to a media outlet anonymously on Sunday.
After a night out on November 13 in the college town of Moscow, Idaho, roommates Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle's boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were found dead in the women's apartment in the early morning hours.
