Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of four University of Idaho students in a case that alarmed the Moscow community. The victims were discovered on November 13, 2022, leading to widespread fear and students leaving the area. Investigative efforts led to Kohberger, a criminology graduate student, through DNA found on a knife sheath and surveillance footage. He was arrested in Pennsylvania weeks later and initially pleaded not guilty as the prosecution aimed to pursue the death penalty, triggering legal challenges regarding evidence reliability.
Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of four University of Idaho students, a crime that shocked the quiet college town of Moscow.
The case initially baffled investigators with no suspects, causing fear and prompting many students to leave town mid-semester for safety.
Investigators pieced together events using a knife sheath containing male DNA, leading to Kohberger through genetic genealogy.
Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania nearly six weeks after the slayings, and during his arraignment, he declined to enter a plea.
