Idaho Suspect Bryan Kohberger Arrives in Moscow​


 

Jan 5, 2023

Bright red lights flashed around Bryan Kohberger as he walked down the steps of a small private plane at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport Wednesday night, returning to the Palouse for the first time since he was arrested for the slayings of four University of Idaho students.

The Washington State University criminology graduate took a cross-country extradition flight Wednesday back to Moscow from Pennsylvania. He is scheduled to make his first appearance Thursday in Latah County Magistrate Court.

Kohberger, 28, arrived around 6:20 p.m. at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport in a 2015 Pilatus PC-12 turboprop airplane. He wore a dark buttoned-up coat with a gray hoodie extending past the jacket’s collar. His hands were cuffed in front of him as he exited the plane.

MOSCOW, Idaho — A victim's mother wiped away tears on Thursday as Bryan Christopher Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, made his first courtroom appearance in the state.

The handcuffed Kohberger, wearing an orange jail jumpsuit, faced Latah County Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall and answered “yes” when she asked if he understood his rights and the charges brought against him.


He's accused of killing Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho, inside a Moscow home on Nov. 13.

The four charges of first-degree murder carry sentences that could include life in prison to the death penalty.

Kohberger's court appearance prompted the release of previously sealed documents, chronicling the police probe that led investigators to his arrest.

Key revelations in an affidavit, supporting the arrest and filed by police in Moscow, Idaho, included:

  • A woman, who was inside the house where the Nov. 13 murders happened but was not harmed, told police she saw a figure "clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and nose" who "walked past" her as she "stood in a 'frozen shock phase.' "
  • A knife sheath found near Mogen's body had a "single source of male DNA." That discovery prompted Pennsylvania police to recover "trash from the Kohberger family residence" in Albrightsville, where they allegedly found genetic evidence that linked him to the Moscow murders.
  • Police claimed they have video of Kohberger’s Hyundai Elantra near the crime scene when the murders happened on Nov. 13 and evidence that his cell phone was on and allegedly near the Moscow house that early morning.

Kohberger was ordered held without bail and his next pre-trial hearing was set for Jan. 12.

Male DNA left on a button snap of a knife sheath was used to link a doctoral student in Washington state with the slayings of four University of Idaho students in November — and a surviving roommate came basically face-to-face with him the night of the killings, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.

A probable cause affidavit prepared by Moscow, Idaho, police Officer Brett Payne lays out how investigators used video surveillance in the area to connect the quadruple homicide with a white Hyundai Elantra driven by Bryan Kohberger, 28.


Upon arriving at the off-campus apartment house on Nov. 13, Payne wrote that he noticed a tan leather knife sheath laying on the bed next to one of the victims, Madison Mogen.

"The sheath was later processed and had 'Ka-Bar' 'USMC' and the United States Marine Corps eagle globe and anchor insignia stamped on the outside of it," Payne wrote. "The Idaho state lab later located a single source of male DNA (suspect Profile) left on the button snap of the knife sheath."

Investigators said they tracked Kohberger's movements through his cellphone and also collected trash from his family's residence in Pennsylvania. The DNA obtained from the trash and the sheath showed a connection, according to the affidavit.

Payne also said one of two other housemates who were inside the home at the time of the killings came in contact with the suspect, described as a "figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and nose walking towards her."

The roommate said she didn't recognize him and she stood in "frozen shock phase" as he walked toward the back sliding glass door.
