Suspect Arrested in Killings of 4 College Students in Moscow, Idaho

The man arrested over the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students has been named as Bryan Kohberger.

A SWAT team entered the location in Pennsylvania where Kohberger, 28, was staying and took him into custody around 3 a.m. today (30 December 2022). Police also seized a white Hyundai Elantra matching the description of a car police had being trying to locate from the scene of the murders.

Online records indicate Kohberger appears to have been pursuing a doctorate in criminal justice at Washington State University in Pullman, less than 10 miles from Moscow. Shortly after his arrest, the university took down a grad student page listing his name. A man with the same name is also listed as having received a master of arts in criminal justice from DeSales University in Center Valley, Pa., in 2022.

While at DeSales, Kohberger allegedly posted in a Reddit community for former prisoners to ask for help with a research survey about “how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime.” The post, which identified Kohberger as the “student investigator,” was purportedly interested in “the story behind your most recent criminal offense, with an emphasis on your thoughts and feelings throughout your experience.”

Kohberger appeared briefly in a Monroe County court friday morning. Records showed he was ordered held without bail and is due to be extradited after a hearing on Jan. 3.

His arrest comes almost seven weeks after Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in their beds as they slept in their off-campus home on Nov. 13. The murders were the first in Moscow in seven years and have rocked the small college community. Earlier this week, police confirmed they were sifting through 20,000 tips in connection with the case.

Police say the four students were murdered sometime between 3 and 4 a.m. but they were not discovered until hours later after roommates Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke became worried they could not reach their friends and called police, who made the grim discovery.

The Moscow Police Department, in conjunction with the FBI and investigators from the University of Idaho, is set to hold a press conference to address developments in the case at 1 p.m. local time Friday.

Meanwhile, a professional crime-scene clean up crew arrived on Friday at the home at 1122 King Road in Moscow where the stabbings occurred, but police stopped them from entering the house due to the developments in the case. After the conclusion of the investigation, it is unclear if the three-story house will be demolished or re-listed by the property owner.

The Idaho murders: what we know so far

SAN ANTONIO – On Nov. 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho, at around 11:58 a.m., a 9-1-1 call was made to the Moscow Police Department for an “unconscious person.”  

Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in Idaho’s quadruple homicide case, is being held at Latah County jail awaiting trial after being charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.

Officers would then encounter a gruesome scene consisting of the lifeless bodies of four University of Idaho students who reportedly suffered multiple stab wounds.  

Right to left, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20.

The stuents were, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20.

More than six weeks after the incident, on Dec. 30, police arrested Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University. 

Since then, court documents and an 18-page affidavit consisting of evidence against Kohberger have been released, and the case is still unfolding. 

Police said Chapin and his girlfriend, Kernodle, were seen at a fraternity party at the Sigma Chi House the same night.  

At 1:40 a.m., Goncalves and Mogen were seen on surveillance footage at a food truck, later arriving home at 1:45 a.m., the same time both Chapin and Kernodle returned to the residence. 

According to court documents, the murders took place between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m.  

The off-campus residence on King Road had no signs of forced entry, an unlocked door and the two surviving roommates who were at the home during the murders were unharmed, according to the authorities. 

In the affidavit, a “tan leather knife sheath” was found on the bed next to Mogen’s right side.  

After the sheath was processed, the Idaho State Lab located a single source of male DNA that was then traced back to the suspect through genetic genealogy. 

A security camera would then pick up four sightings of a 2011 - 2013 white Hyundai Elantra circling around the home, then driving off after the murders had occurred.  

Investigators also recovered a latent shoe print processed by the ISP Forensic Team.  

The FBI tracked Kohberger from Washington and Pennsylvania and requested that the Indiana cops perform a routine traffic stop so that they could capture footage or photos of his hands. 

According to NBC, Kohberger was pulled over twice, and TMZ had released footage of one of the first traffic stops.  

Kohberger was arrested Dec. 30 at his parents’ home in Effort, Pennsylvania. Monroe County, and authorities seized the car of the same make and model like that of the white Hyundai Elantra. 

Pennsylvania Public Defender Jason LaBar told CNN that Kohberger was "shocked a little bit" by the accusations.  

DeSales University confirmed that Kohberger had received a masters degree in Criminal Justice.  

According to one of his DeSales classmates, Kohberger had a massive interest in serial killers and true crime and was passionate about theorizing why and how crimes took place.  

Kohberger was not only a graduate student, but he was also a teacher assistant who helped teach students about criminal justice and criminology.  

Reddit survey post made by Bryan Kohberger a while before the murders had occurred.

Kohberger allegedly even sent out a survey before the murders, to a select group of people asking questions about committing a crime.  

One of the questions in the survey was “why did you choose that victim or target over others?” Kohberger wrote.  

Our Lady of The Lake University (OLLU) student Julissa Casas has been following the case through social media since January, and said that hearing all the details slowly come out had been a crazy experience.  

Casas lives in the Lakeview apartments on campus. 

The apartments were made to create more residences for those who do not commute to the university, and it can be said that the Lakeview apartments are similar to the King road residence that the victims had lived in near the University of Idaho. 

“The story made me even more scared and hyper aware of my surroundings,” Casas said. 

Although she’s taken her own appropriate safety precautions, such as sharing her location with her parents via Life 360, with some of her close friends, and pepper spray, she still feels that since the Idaho murders, it could happen to anyone. 

“I used to feel safe, but now It’s now engraved in my brain,” Casas said. 

Casas also said that she does not feel safe walking alone, but safer walking with a group of friends. 

“It’s terrifying knowing that there are people that find joy in hurting others. It’s terrifying knowing that he was a Criminal Justice grad student teaching other young students about the science behind committing these violent crimes,” Casas said.  

Casas’ dream job used to be becoming an FBI Behavioral Analyst and said that after knowing many cases, this case has been one of the most terrifying to see unravel because of the gruesomeness of it. 

“It is so sad to know that Kaylee [Goncalves] was spending one last night in the house she loved with her best friends before she moved to Texas the next day to start her new job,” Casas said. 

Casas prays for the victims’ families everyday, and for Kohbergers’ as-well. 

“They had no idea what a monster he was, and now have to deal with the repercussions of what their child has done for the rest of their lives” Casas said. 

Kohberger waived his extradition in March and has denied the allegations on four counts of murder and one count of burglary.   

Investigators believe Kohberger broke in "with the intent to commit murder," Bill Thompson, a prosecutor in Latah County, Idaho, said during a press conference in January.  

LaBar, the Chief Public Defender of Monroe County, Pennsylvania represented Kohberger in his extradition, but will not be his defender in the murder case. 

According to Today, on Jan. 3, LaBar stated that his client believes he will be exonerated.  

“Mr. Kohberger is eager to be exonerated of these charges and looks forward to resolving these matters as promptly as possible,” LaBar said.  

As each day passes, more details continue to come out. 

As of Feb. 20th, what is known and confirmed by sources is that Kernodle and Chapin were found by Chapins best friend, surviving roommate Dylan Mortenson was the one who made the 9-1-1 call, and an unidentified friend of the four victims checked their pulses’ before calling.  

Kohbergers attorney, Anne Taylor, asked to delay her clients’ preliminary hearing, and is now expected to attend trial June 26. At 9 a.m.  

Judge Megan Marshall expects the trial to last for five days.  

Until then, Kohberger remains in Latah County Jail in Idaho held without bond, and has not yet entered a plea.

I just wanted to make a PSA since I personally haven't seen anything about this on Tumblr yet.

If you drive a Kia or Hyundai from 2010-2021, your car is at serious risk of being stolen.

Kia and Hyundai vehicles from 2010-2021 that use a traditional key to start the ignition are very easy to steal. Someone can start your car with a USB cord in under 30 seconds -- a TikTok trend has been showing people how to do it, and it seems a lot of the thieves are teens looking for a joyride. This also means it's fairly common for your car to get crashed after it's taken, since they're just doing it for shits and giggles and don't really care what happens after.

Kia and Hyundai are taking some actions to better secure their vehicles, and some law suits have been filed against them for designing their cars that way. But for the moment, their cars are just vulnerable.

Here is a source from September 2022. If you search for Kia and Hyundai thefts, you will find many more recent stories, from multiple US cities.

According to this, the most vulnerable models seem to be:

Hyundai - Accent, Elantra, Kona, Santa Fe, Tucson, Veloster

Kia - Forte, Optima, Rio, Sedona, Sorento, Soul, Sportage

If you drive one of the above with a traditional key-start ignition, and you don't park somewhere secure like a garage, please consider taking precautions to make your car less of a target. Steering wheel locks are very effective, and you can get a decent one for less than $50. (I personally bought this one.) If your car doesn't have a built-in alarm, you may also want to get one installed.

As someone who just had to deal with it, trust me. You don't want to wake up to a call from the police telling you they found your car totaled a mile away from your home.

#personal #kia #hyundai #psa #i really liked my kia soul i am not a happy camper about this #and ofc my new car is a hyundai so you bet your ass i'm keeping the wheel locked up

The Murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin: A Timeline of What We Know

On November 12, 2022 Kaylee Goncalves, a 21 year old general studies senior at University of Idaho shared a series of photos to her instagram account alongside her closest friends and roommates Xana Kernodle, 20, her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, and her best friend Madison Mogen, 21. All four students were involved in the schools’ sorority and fraternity programs and had very active and healthy social lives. Kaylee often shared videos of her life to social media with nearly 130,000 followers on the platform Tik Tok alone. On the evening of November 12th, while Xana and Ethan went off by themselves, Kaylee and Madison went to a downtown bar before ordering a meal at a local late night food truck and calling a driving service to bring them home. At approximately 2:00 a.m., Kaylee and Madison arrived home at 1122 King Road, a rental house only miles from their university campus. In the late night hours of that cold November evening, a masked intruder entered the residence through an unlocked door and proceeded to viciously attack and murder all four roommates with what appeared to be a large hunting knife; it wasn’t until their surviving roommate heard strange noises the following morning that the atrocity that took place in the home became apparent. For months, the Moscow police department was tight lipped about possible suspects as they gathered evidence from the crime scene. Using a collection of security footage, audio tapes from the next door neighbor, forensic evidence and the testimony of one of the surviving roommates, police were able to arrest 28-year-old Bryan Krohberger of Pullam, Washington with four counts of first degree murder and a burglary charge. A late night search warrant was executed at his family home in Pullam, Washington where he was then extradited back to Idaho for his trial.

In the days following the murder and after police released a statement saying they were searching for anyone with a white Hyundai Elantra in the area, Bryan Kohberger’s dad flew from Pennsylvania and drove over 20 hours from Idaho to their home in Pullam, Washington. Krohberger and his father were pulled over two times in the state of Indiana for ‘tailgating’ but this was actually a tactic from law enforcement in Idaho working with other state police in an attempt to prove Kohberger had healing wounds on his hands or arms but none were clearly seen on the police body cam footage. Kohberger was also seen at a DMV only days after the murders changing his license plate number.

Bryan Krohberger was a Washington University P.h.D. student with a Master’s degree in criminal justice and knowledge of the forensic process. Krohberger is described as antisocial, awkward, and somewhat of an outcast by his fellow peers. While digging into his history, it became apparent that he had an antisocial personality type with an anger towards rejection from women. He reportedly became intoxicated at a Pennsylvania bar near his family home and referred to a woman as a ‘bitch’ when she rejected his advances. When confronted with this information by the bar’s manager, Krohberger remained stoic and denied ever doing so. After completing his criminal justice degree, Krohberger applied for an internship with Pullam, Washington police department where he was required to write an essay; in this essay he requested to be placed in a rural police department where he can aid in the forensic evidence process. From the very beginning of this case, I had a feeling in my gut that the police would be searching for a serial killer due to the brutality of the crime and the nature in which it was executed– what better place to wind up than a small, understaffed department in a rural town? To make things even more unbelievable and downright frightening, Krohberger posted a survey to reddit asking its users to ‘Provide info to understand how emotions and psychological traits affect decision making when committing a crime’ and even went as far as to ask for specific details of the crimes. Clearly, Krohberger was and very, very intentional in all of his actions leading up to this horrific murder.

1122 King Road was only several miles away from University of Idaho campus and was only ten miles from the University of Washington campus. On the night of the murder, surveillance footage between the University of Washington and the University of Idaho captured a white Hyundai Elantra traveling westbound at 3:26 a.m. moving towards Moscow, Idaho. At 3:28 a.m. the Elantra was spotted arriving in Moscow without a front license plate. Security tapes from residents on King Road captured the vehicle driving past 1122 King Road three times before it attempted to turn around in front of the house. The Elantra is then seen driving past the residence once more, doing a three point turn, then driving in the direction of the residence for a final time. In the hours leading up to the murder, the Elantra was one of only several vehicles that traveled down this road. At 4:20 a.m. the Elantra is seen speeding away from the residence at a high rate of speed.

Now, a probable cause affidavit has been released with more information than any of us could have hoped for. This 19 page document describes a new timeline; police believe the murders occurred between 4:00 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. after one of the surviving roommates gave testimony describing the night.

After the surviving roommate returned home shortly after Kaylee and Madison arrived, she went to bed in a bedroom on the 2nd floor and was woken around 4 a.m. to what sounded like Kaylee playing with her dog in her upstairs bedroom. She opened the door and poked her head into the hallway at which time she reportedly heard Xana say ‘Someone is here.’ She closed her door and again began to hear sounds of distress; when she opened the door for a second time, she heard what sounded like crying coming from Xana's room to which a male voice responded ‘It’s okay, I’m going to help you.’ She closed her door again, but this time, when she opened her door again what she saw chilled her to her core and rendered her unable to move; a masked intruder with bushy eyebrows and an athletic build was walking directly past her in the hallway where he walked right past her and exited out of the back patio door.

At 4:17 a.m. the neighbor directly west to 1122 King Road picked up the sounds of thuds and muffled whimpering coming from Kaylee’s room on their home's security cameras. The window in Kaylee’s room was less than 50 feet from the camera that picked up the sounds of crying coming from Kaylee’s room.

During the processing of forensic evidence, investigators found a shoe print directly outside the surviving roommates window which corroborates the hypothesis that he entered through the patio door at the back of the house.

Investigators soon discovered that Bryan Kohberger was spotted within one mile of the home twelve times in the month leading up to the murders.

The last bit of information released on the probable cause affidavit was that a tan colored leather knife sheath was found directly next to Madison’s body with the letters ‘KBAR USMC.’ On this sheath, investigators discovered DNA on the snap button of the sheath which was then used to cross it to the national familial DNA databank.

Using a combination of forensic evidence, security footage, audio tapes and eye witness accounts, investigators were led to the now prime suspect, Bryan Kohberger.

After the arrest affidavit was released, Idaho investigators released what items were pulled as evidence from Kohbergers home:

1.)One nitrite type black glove

2.)Walmart receipt with one Dickies tag

3.)Marshalls receipt

4.)Dust container from vacuum

5.)8 possible hair strands

6.)1 "Fire TV" stick with cord and plug

7.)1 possible animal hair strand

multiple different hairs

8.)computer tower

9.)1 collection of dark red spot

10.)2 cuttings from uncased pillow of reddish/brown stain (larger stain tested)

11.)2 top and bottom of mattress cover packaged separately with multiple stains

As a tribute to the victims, I want to include a small description of each victim and who their family and friends saw them as.

Kaylee Goncalves’s father describes his daughter and Madison Mogen as absolute best friends and inseparable since the sixth grade.

"These girls were absolutely beautiful. They've been friends since sixth grade… Every day they did homework together, they came to our house together, they shared everything… They went to high school together, then they started looking at colleges and they came here together, they eventually get into the same apartment together, "And in the end, they died together, in the same room, in the same bed. And it's a shame, and it hurts. But the beauty of the two always being together is something that will – it comforts us, it lets us know that they were with their best friends in the whole world."

Kaylee’s sister said in an interview that she led a positive life and had a bright future; she had secured a wonderful job and had trips planned to celebrate her graduation from Idaho University.

“Kaylee was, is, and will always be our defender and protector,” the family wrote “… She did absolutely everything she set her mind to. She didn’t hold back on love, fights, or life.”

Madison Mogen, 21, was in a long-term relationship with fellow student Jake Schriger. The couple planned to celebrate Thanksgiving together just weeks later. Schriger’s mother lovingly refers to Madison’s closeness to her family and the way she always said “I love you” at the end of phone calls. She described Madison as “The most beautiful person, inside and out.”

Xana Kernodle, 20, is described by her father as being strong-willed and someone who would succeed at whatever she set her mind to. Ethan and Xana had been together for around a year. "[W]hen I went up there she, I saw her just a week before that and she changed a lot," Jess Kernodle said in an interview, "She had a life. She got to see what it was like to have a boyfriend you live with. And she really turned around. She was really responsible. Helping him out with his studies and stuff. I was really impressed.” Xana also reportedly showed defensive wounds.

Ethan Chapin, 20, was described by his mother the most incredible person you will ever meet. He loved sports, from golf to basketball to surfing to pickleball, his family said, "He laughed continuously. He smiled when he woke up and was still smiling when he went to bed," his obituary said. "He was kind to all and a friend to all."

More on Bryan Christopher Kohberger's background

He graduated from DeSales University in Pennsylvania in May 2022 with a master of arts in criminal justice. 

As part of his research Kohberger posted an appeal for help on social media with his research – which was looking at how ‘emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime.’ 

According to NBC News, a white Hyundai Elantra was towed from the home where the suspect was arrested. 

He also appeared to be actively requesting information on REDDIT from those who committed crimes..

Hyundai is set to democratize exotic carbon fiber wheels. The automaker is partnering with wheel specialist Dymag to develop carbon-hybrid wheels for its performance-focused N models. This technology has been restricted to hypercars and race vehicles until now. Here's an in-depth look at the new carbon wheels and what they mean for Hyundai's sporty N brand: Highlights Hyundai partnering with Dymag on new carbon-hybrid wheel tech Prototype shown at Goodwood uses carbon outer rim with forged center Can cut weight by 40-50% compared to alloy wheels Improves stiffness, strength and steering feedback Will likely debut on the upcoming Ioniq 5 N Makes carbon wheels accessible on affordable performance cars Extreme Weight Savings With Hybrid Design Dymag's carbon-hybrid wheel technology melds the benefits of carbon fiber and forged metal components. The carbon composite outer rim trims significant weight versus a traditional alloy rim. This reduces unsprung mass to sharpen handling reflexes. The forged metal centerpiece maintains strength to withstand impacts from potholes and debris. It also facilitates attaching the wheel to the hub. Combined, this hybrid carbon design can achieve 40-50% weight savings compared to regular alloy wheels. For drivers, that means better acceleration, braking, steering precision, and ride quality. First Application: Hyundai Ioniq 5 N Hyundai displayed a carbon-hybrid wheel prototype at the 2022 Goodwood Festival of Speed fitted on the upcoming Ioniq 5 N. This suggests the Ioniq 5 N could be one of the first models to get carbon wheel availability when it launches. As an electric performance crossover, reducing unsprung weight is particularly impactful for the Ioniq 5 N. The instant torque of its motors will feel even sharper. Look for the exotic wheels to carry over to the forthcoming Ioniq 6 N sedan as well. Carbon Fiber Demystified Carbon fiber wheels have been cloaked in mystique - reserved only for seven-figure hypercars until now. Their high cost and labor-intensive manufacturing restricted applications. But by utilizing carbon only for the outer rim section, Dymag's process brings costs down to viable levels. Hyundai capturing this technology is a win for drivers seeking exotic performance on an ordinary budget. Better Feedback and Control Incorporating carbon fiber in the wheel design also boosts stiffness and strength. The exceptionally rigid carbon rim allows less flex and improves tire adhesion when cornering hard. This translates to sharper turn-in, better traction, and more precise steering feedback. Performance drivers will be able to feel the grip limits more intuitively. Potential Applications Hyundai hasn't revealed which N models will get carbon wheel availability yet. The Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N seem likely candidates. Other possibilities include: Elantra N Kona N Future RN performance coupe More affordable models may forego the option to keep pricing in check. But offering carbon wheels on any mass-market cars is a radical move by Hyundai if executed. FAQs How much weight do carbon-hybrid wheels save? Dymag claims they can reduce weight by 40-50% compared to alloy wheels. What Hyundai models will get them first? The upcoming Ioniq 5 N and Ioniq 6 N EVs seem the most probable. When will they debut on production cars? Details are still scarce, but potentially within the next 1-2 model years. Will carbon wheels be offered on cheaper Hyundais? Possibly, but likely only on higher N trims. The cost may be prohibitive on base models. Do carbon wheels improve performance? Yes, the reduced unsprung weight improves handling precision and steering feel noticeably. The Takeaway Hyundai partnering with Dymag to bring carbon fiber wheel tech to its N performance line is game-changing. This exotic material has been unattainable for most buyers until now.

Debuting lightweight carbon-hybrid wheels on models like the Ioniq 5 N and 6 N will make these track-capable cars even sharper and more responsive. It's an unprecedented move that could shake up industry perceptions on what's possible for accessible sports cars. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans
