Idaho College Killings Idaho Killings: Roommate of Murder Victims Saw Black-Clad Figure in Their House

In an affidavit, officials provided more details about the night of the killings and said DNA and surveillance video led them to the 28-year-old accused of stabbing four University of Idaho students.

A knife sheath, phone pings and trash: The hunt for a killer in Idaho.

MOSCOW, Idaho — On the night in November when four University of Idaho students were murdered in a home near campus, another roommate awoke to a noise that she thought was her friend playing with her dog. Then she heard someone crying, and a man saying something like, “It’s OK, I’m going to help you.”

When the roommate peered out of her room just after 4 a.m., she later told investigators, she stood in “frozen shock” as a man wearing black clothes and a mask walked by her toward the home’s back door. She did not recognize him, she said, but she noticed his bushy eyebrows.

It was not until many hours later that the full extent of what had happened upstairs and down the hall became clear: Four students had been stabbed to death, leaving two roommates — and a dog whose barking had been loud enough to be heard outside — alive.

On Thursday, law enforcement officials ended nearly two months of silence on the details of their investigation and unveiled an array of evidence they say left them with little doubt about the identity of the killer: Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old Ph.D. student in criminology at a neighboring university.

Mr. Kohberger, who was arrested on Dec. 30 at his parents’ home in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, appeared in court for the first time in Idaho on Thursday to face charges of first-degree murder and felony burglary.

In a packed courtroom where the father of one victim was sitting in the front row, Mr. Kohberger hardly spoke except to say that he understood that the maximum penalty for each murder charge was life imprisonment or death. His public defender, Anne Taylor, said in court that Mr. Kohberger “has a good family that stands behind him.” He has said through another lawyer that he looks forward to being exonerated.

Authorities have yet to detail a motive in the killings, nor has there been any explanation for why the two surviving roommates, who are also students at the University of Idaho, did not call 911 until shortly before noon the next day.

But in a small college town that had not recorded a murder in seven years, the newly unsealed court records offer a detailed account of how police officers, with the aid of dozens of F.B.I. agents, methodically triangulated clues. Among them were DNA found on a knife sheath left at the scene, surveillance cameras in the neighborhood, cellphone tower records and DNA from the suspect’s father collected from the family’s trash in Pennsylvania — all of which, the police said, pointed to Mr. Kohberger.

The early morning attack at the house along a dead-end street, a five-minute walk from campus, claimed the lives of Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

It came after an otherwise typical Saturday night. Ms. Kernodle and Mr. Chapin, who were dating, had attended a fraternity party together, and Ms. Goncalves and Ms. Mogen had gone to a bar. All four victims, as well as the two surviving roommates, were back at the home before 2 a.m.

The new documents suggest that Ms. Kernodle was awake around the time of the killings, receiving a DoorDash delivery around 4 a.m. and apparently using the TikTok app on her phone 12 minutes later. Police said the murders likely happened before 4:25 a.m.

In addition to hearing the crying and the man’s voice, the roommate on the second floor also heard one of her roommates say something like, “There’s someone here,” around 4 a.m.

At roughly the same time, a security camera from a nearby home picked up distorted audio of a whimpering sound and a loud thud. A dog could be heard barking several times.

A variety of surveillance footage collected from the neighborhood gave investigators some of their early leads, showing that, shortly before the crimes, a white Hyundai Elantra had made three passes along the dead-end street where the killings took place. It returned a fourth time, at 4:04 a.m., around the time the surviving roommate said she had woken up.

The vehicle was seen 16 minutes later leaving the neighborhood “at a high rate of speed,” according to the affidavit, which was signed by Cpl. Brett Payne of the Moscow Police.

Investigators began scouring the region for similar cars. At the end of November, a campus police officer at Washington State University, which is about a 15-minute drive from the University of Idaho and the crime scene, discovered that an Elantra belonging to Mr. Kohberger was registered with the university.

The investigators soon found from Mr. Kohberger’s driver’s license that he matched the roommate’s description of the man in the mask, including, they say, the bushy eyebrows.

In December, Mr. Kohberger drove home to Pennsylvania with his father for winter break while investigators were still piecing together their case. Two days before Christmas, the police were able to obtain cellphone tower records showing that on the night of the killings, Mr. Kohberger’s phone had stopped connecting to cell towers somewhere near his apartment in Pullman at 2:47 a.m. before reconnecting somewhere south of Moscow at 4:48 a.m. — suggesting that his phone had either traveled out of a coverage area or been turned off.

His phone had already been in the area of the house 12 times in the months before the murders, according to the affidavit.

He appears to have also been back in the vicinity of the house hours after the killings, but before the victims were found, according to the court affidavit. Cell tower records showed that his phone had traveled from Pullman back to Moscow, connecting for nine minutes to the cell network that services the neighborhood of the crime scene.

Investigators had another key piece of evidence: the DNA sample found on the button snap of a tan leather knife sheath that had been left on a bed next to the bodies of Ms. Goncalves and Ms. Mogen.

In December, investigators traced Mr. Kohberger to his parents’ house in Pennsylvania. On Dec. 27, while he was there over winter break, the police managed to retrieve some garbage from the house and sent what appears to have been a DNA sample from Mr. Kohberger’s father for testing. The results showed a strong probability that the elder Mr. Kohberger was the father of whoever left DNA on the knife sheath.

In a predawn raid on Dec. 30, the police broke through windows and doors of the family home and arrested the younger Mr. Kohberger. They followed up quickly with searches of his apartment in Pullman, the white Hyundai Elantra he had driven with his father to Pennsylvania and the parents’ home. They also got a court order to obtain a direct DNA sample from Mr. Kohberger.

Friends of the victims have been searching for possible connections between the victims and the accused killer — so far, disclosing none — and classmates of Mr. Kohberger’s at Washington State University have examined their own recollections to try to identify clues.

Some said Mr. Kohberger spent time studying the exact kind of techniques that the police used in recent weeks to identify him, and had a deep interest in criminal psychology and crime scenes.

Benjamin T. Roberts, a fellow graduate student at Washington State, said Mr. Kohberger had been interested in areas like psychology and Rational Choice Theory, which suggests that offenders may often try to assess the potential costs and benefits of committing a crime.

“He took the field of study very seriously,” Mr. Roberts said.

But peers also said he at times caused conflict in the program. Mr. Roberts recalled that Mr. Kohberger tended to be more forceful and condescending in challenging the ideas of female students during discussions in classroom settings.

“There was a consistent pattern in which he would push back more with women colleagues than with male colleagues,” he said.

One new revelation in the court affidavit had a tinge of irony: After enrolling in the Ph.D. program at Washington State in August, Mr. Kohberger had applied for an internship. In an essay as part of the application, he described his interest in helping rural police departments collect and analyze data as part of public safety operations. The internship he applied for was at the Pullman Police Department, whose officers would wind up helping in the investigation of the murders.

Kirsten Noyes and Susan C. Beachy contributed research.

A sweeping gag order remains in place for the case. The order prohibits the police, prosecutors and defense lawyers from commenting publicly, and may last until a final verdict is reached.

Court documents provide a timeline of the night of the murders.

New investigative details released on Thursday provide the first clear view of the apparent movements of the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in the early morning hours of Nov. 13.

A newly released law enforcement affidavit and information previously released by investigators provide a timeline of what happened that night:

1:45 a.m. — After spending several hours at a fraternity party, two of the victims — Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin — return to the off-campus house Ms. Kernodle shared with several roommates, including the other two victims.

1:56 a.m. — The other victims — Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen — arrive back at the house after spending time at a bar and grabbing food at a food truck.

2:47 a.m. — A phone belonging to the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, stops connecting to the cellphone network in Pullman, Wash., where he lives, a short drive from the University of Idaho campus in Moscow.

2:53 a.m. — Surveillance footage shows a white sedan, consistent with a white Hyundai Elantra registered to Kohberger, traveling toward the highway between Pullman and Moscow.

3:29 a.m. — Surveillance video shows what police say is a white Hyundai Elantra in the Moscow neighborhood that includes the victims’ house, where the crime later occurred. The vehicle makes three passes by the house.

4 a.m. — One of the victims, Xana Kernodle, receives a DoorDash delivery at the home, according to investigators. At about the same time, another occupant of the house is awakened by what she thinks is an upstairs roommate playing with her dog, according to her statement to the police.

4:04 a.m. — Video shows the Elantra returning to the area for a fourth time, at one point doing a three-point turn in the roadway near the house.

4:12 a.m. — Kernodle uses the TikTok app on her phone, her phone records suggest. The downstairs roommate is also awake: Sometime shortly after 4 a.m., she tells investigators, she hears what sounds like crying coming from Kernodle’s room. When she opens her door, she hears a male voice telling someone something to the effect of, “It’s OK, I’m going to help you.”

4:17 a.m. — A security camera from a nearby residence picks up distorted audio of what sounds like a whimper and a loud thud. A dog can be heard barking numerous times. At some point — and exactly when is unclear — the roommate opens her bedroom door again, according to the account she gave investigators, and sees a man with “bushy eyebrows,” clad in black clothing and a mask. The man walks past her toward a sliding-glass door on the second floor. She goes back into her room and locks the door, and it is unclear what she does during the next several hours.

4:20 a.m. — The white Elantra is seen leaving the neighborhood “at a high rate of speed.”

4:48 a.m. — Kohberger’s phone reconnects to cell networks south of Moscow, near Blaine, Idaho.

5:30 a.m. — After traveling in the area south of Moscow, Kohberger’s phone is detected back in Pullman.

9:12 a.m. — Kohberger’s phone returns to Moscow and connects to the cellular network near the scene of the murders. It stays there until 9:21 a.m. before returning to the area of his home in Pullman.

11:58 a.m. — A 911 call reports an unconscious person at the scene of the killings, triggering a response from law enforcement.

Bryan Kohberger applied for an internship with the police department in Pullman, Wash., in the fall while studying criminology at Washington State University, according to an affidavit unsealed on Thursday. He wrote an essay as part of the application in which he described his interest in helping rural police departments collect and analyze data. It is unclear whether he applied before or after the Nov. 13 murders in Idaho.

The suspect has ‘a good family that stands behind him,’ his lawyer told the court.

Bryan Kohberger appeared in an Idaho courtroom on Thursday to face murder charges in the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students in November.

Six days after his arrest on the other side of the country, Mr. Kohberger, 28, wore an orange jail jumpsuit during a brief appearance in a Latah County courtroom.

Relatives of at least one of the victims, Kaylee Goncalves, sat in the front row of the courtroom’s benches. Mr. Kohberger did not turn around during the hearing, and he spoke only to say that he understood his rights and that he was being represented by a public defender.

The public defender, Anne Taylor, said in court that she was just beginning to learn about the evidence in the case, and that Mr. Kohberger has “a good family that stands behind him.”

Mr. Kohberger was not required to enter a plea at the hearing, and did not do so. He is expected to enter a plea at a later date.

Megan Marshall, the Latah County magistrate judge conducting the hearing, declined a request from Ms. Taylor to set bail in the case, meaning that Mr. Kohberger will continue to be held at the jail in Moscow, Idaho. Bill Thompson, the top prosecutor in Latah County, opposed the request, noting that Mr. Kohberger had been arrested in Pennsylvania at his parents’ home, thousands of miles from the crime scene.

Judge Marshall read aloud the charges from the criminal complaint, naming each of the four students — Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20. For each of the four murder charges, she asked if Mr. Kohberger understood that the maximum punishment was death or life in prison. Each time, he leaned forward and said, “Yes.”

Except for a brief conversation with his lawyer, Mr. Kohberger said nothing else during the hearing. He nodded several times as the judge read him his rights, and sometimes tensed his jaw, but did not show any emotion.

After the hearing, a lawyer for the Goncalves family, Shanon Gray, gave a brief statement on the courthouse steps, standing with Ms. Goncalves’s father and other relatives.

“It’s obviously an emotional time for the family, seeing the defendant for the first time,” Mr. Gray said. “This is the beginning of the criminal justice system, and the family will be here for the long haul.”

Judge Marshall ordered Mr. Kohberger not to contact the two surviving roommates, who were in the house on the night of the crimes, nor the relatives of the four victims. She scheduled a status hearing for Jan. 12, when Mr. Kohberger’s lawyer and prosecutors will update the judge on where matters stand in the case.

Mr. Kohberger is a Ph.D. student in Washington State University’s criminal justice and criminology department. Washington State’s campus is in Pullman, Wash., a short distance across the state line from the University of Idaho in Moscow.

Authorities did not detail any links between the suspect and the victims, but said cellphone records showed he was near their house a dozen times before the night of the killings. That night, his phone dropped off the network in Pullman at 2:47 a.m. and reconnected at 4:48 a.m. south of Moscow.

“It’s obviously an emotional time for the family, seeing the defendant for the first time,” Shanon Gray, the lawyer for the Goncalves family, said on the courthouse steps, where he was joined by some of Kaylee's relatives. “This is the beginning of the criminal justice system, and the family will be here for the long haul.”

Read the affidavit filed by the authorities.

Authorities say they identified Bryan Kohberger , the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November, through a wide range of evidence, including surveillance footage, cellphone data, and DNA on a knife sheath found at the scene, according to court records released on Thursday . Here is the police affidavit:

Here’s how the police say they identified Bryan Kohberger as the suspect in the Idaho college murders.

Read more coverage of Thursday’s court appearance and what the new documents reveal about the investigation, including a timeline of the suspect’s movements on the night of the murders.

Relatives of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the four slain college students, were in the courtroom during the hearing and are about to speak to the news media in front of the courthouse.

Bryan Kohberger did not enter a plea at Thursday’s hearing. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 12 for a status hearing.

During the hearing, Latah County Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall advised Bryan Kohberger of the charges against him. For each murder charge, the judge read from the criminal complaint, naming the victims, and asked Kohberger if he understood that the maximum penalty was life imprisonment or death. Each time, he leaned forward and said, “Yes.”

In court, Bryan Kohberger’s public defender, Anne Taylor, said she had just begun reviewing the case, but wanted to share that Kohberger “has a good family that stands behind him.”

Bryan Kohberger made his court appearance in an orange jail jumpsuit. The father of one victim, Kaylee Goncalves, was seated on a bench in the courtroom. Kohberger did not turn around to look at the benches.

A judge denied a request from Bryan Kohberger’s lawyer to set bail in the case, meaning Kohberger will continue to be held at the Latah County Jail in Moscow.

Bill Thompson, Latah County's top prosecutor, argued against bail, noting that Bryan Kohberger had been arrested thousands of miles away from the crime scene.

Investigators suggest the suspect may have returned to the crime scene, saying in court records that on the morning after the killings, his cellphone traveled from Pullman, Wash., to Moscow, Idaho, connecting to a cell tower that provided coverage to the neighborhood where the killings occurred.

The affidavit says DNA was taken off the button snap of a tan leather knife sheath that was found on the bed next to one of the victims. The DNA, investigators said, was linked to Bryan Kohberger through a comparison with his father’s DNA.

Here is what the newly released affidavit tells us about the killings.

Investigators looking for the killer of four University of Idaho students assembled an array of evidence that led them to their suspect: DNA on a knife sheath found at the scene, surveillance footage that captured a white sedan like his circling the neighborhood, cellphone tower records showing that his phone had visited the area before and, perhaps most chilling of all, the testimony of a roommate who saw a figure clad in black clothing in the house on the night of the murders.

In court records made public after the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, arrived back in Idaho to face murder charges, investigators wrote that a tan leather knife sheath was found on the bed next to one of the victims in the rental house where they were found stabbed to death.

The sheath, investigators said, had DNA on the button snap that was linked to Mr. Kohberger through a comparison with his father’s DNA. Investigators obtained that sample from the trash at the family’s Pennsylvania home on Dec. 27, three days before Mr. Kohberger was arrested in a pre-dawn raid.

Investigators did not detail a motive for the killings.

They said a review of surveillance footage from the neighborhood of the murders showed that a white Elantra similar to the one Mr. Kohberger drove was seen several times in the neighborhood of the killings between 3:29 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. The vehicle made three passes by the residence where the killings occurred before returning a fourth time at approximately 4:04 a.m.

The vehicle was seen 16 minutes later departing the area “at a high rate of speed.”

One of the surviving roommates in the house told investigators that she was awakened at around 4 a.m. by noises that sounded like one of the victims playing with her dog upstairs. Then she heard someone say something like, “There’s someone here.” The roommate told investigators that she looked out of her bedroom but did not see anything.

Later, she said, she thought she heard crying coming from another room, then heard a male voice say something to the effect of, “It’s OK, I’m going to help you.” The roommate reported looking out her bedroom door again after that, and seeing a figure in black clothing and a mask covering the mouth and nose walk toward her and then to the back door. The person had “bushy eyebrows,” she told investigators — a detail that they later concluded also matched the suspect.

The roommate said she locked herself in her room. It’s unclear why she did not call 911 at that time. The authorities were not called to the scene for several more hours.

The authorities did not detail any previous connections between Mr. Kohberger and the victims, but they said that his phone had connected to cell towers near the residence in Moscow a dozen times in the months before the night of the killings.

That night, the victims had been out at a party and a bar near the University of Idaho campus in Moscow. In the early morning hours, Mr. Kohberger’s cellphone was detected in Pullman, Wash., where he lived, but it stopped connecting to cell networks at 2:47 a.m.

The phone did not reconnect to the networks until 4:48 a.m., when it made contact with towers south of Moscow. It then traveled a circuitous route back to Pullman, the investigators said, reaching there at around 5:30 a.m.

The investigation appeared to suggest that Mr. Kohberger returned to the crime scene: Later in the morning, the phone was detected in Moscow at around 9:12 a.m., connecting with the cell tower that serves the neighborhood where the killings occurred. It stayed there for about nine minutes.

I am entering the Latah County courtroom, where reporters will be prohibited from posting live updates during the hearing, or using electronics at all. I will share updates as soon as I leave the courtroom.

The prosecutor has entered the courtroom in Moscow, Idaho, and the hearing is set to begin any minute.

Surveillance videos showed a vehicle, a white sedan, pass by the scene of the crime four times on the night of the murders, according to the newly released affidavit, which is signed by a Moscow police corporal. When the car last left the area, at 4:20 a.m., it was driving fast.

Fear and frustration shook a college town where such violence was all but unknown.

MOSCOW, Idaho — For weeks after four college students were stabbed to death in Moscow, a city of 25,000 people in the rolling hills of northern Idaho that hadn’t recorded a murder in seven years, fear cast a long shadow.

The police were flooded with calls: a delivery driver who heard a woman screaming, a mother asking officers to walk her daughter to her car, a woman who woke up to find her front door wide open.

After the killings on Nov. 13, some students left the University of Idaho campus and many refused to come back to after Thanksgiving, leaving some classrooms half empty. Those who did return said they bought doorbell cameras, put rods in their windows to lock them shut or began hunkering down with roommates at night.

Adding to their fear was frustration with the police response: Officials issued sometimes contradictory statements, leading at least one victim’s family to question whether investigators are up to the task of solving a quadruple homicide in a city that had not seen a murder since 2015.

Seeking to calm the community in the immediate aftermath of the killings, the police quickly said they believed there was no “ongoing community risk” or “imminent threat.” An initial statement from the police that the attacks were “targeted” was walked back, with Bill Thompson, the Latah County prosecutor, saying at one point that he had no more information than the public about why the police had called it that.

“That’s what they told us, and we accepted that at face value,” he said.

The claims never made sense to locals, students or their parents, since the police were also saying they did not know who had committed the killings, or where they might be. Chief James Fry of the Moscow Police Department ultimately conceded, three days after the crimes, that the police could not say there was no threat.

Authorities investigating the killing of the four students say they linked the suspect to the crime by analyzing surveillance footage and DNA on an empty knife sheath that was found at the scene, according to records released Thursday.

A surviving roommate of the Moscow, Idaho, killings heard crying from a victim’s room and then a man’s voice say something like, “it’s ok, I’m going to help you” on the night of the slayings, according to a newly released affidavit. The roommate said she opened her door to see a man clad in black, and then closed and locked her door. Investigators believe the man was the killer.

There will be dozens of reporters in the courtroom and two television cameras that can record the proceeding and publish it afterward, but cannot carry a live feed. Also in the court will be one photographer, Ted Warren, who grew up in town and is freelancing for The Associated Press.

I’m toward the front of a long line of reporters at the Latah County courthouse, where some journalists arrived as early as 5 a.m. The suspect, Bryan Kohberger, has been held in the same building since Wednesday night, when he was flown here from Pennsylvania. He was arrested there last week.

The suspect: A criminology student who could be analytical and cruel.

MOSCOW, Idaho — About two weeks before four University of Idaho students were found stabbed to death in a house near campus, Bryan Kohberger was sitting in a criminology class at a college just a short drive away, leaning into a conversation about forensics, D.N.A. and other evidence prosecutors use to win convictions.

The 28-year-old graduate student seemed highly engaged in the discussion, a former classmate recalled. It was a subject that had long captivated Mr. Kohberger, who had researched the mind-sets of criminals, studied under a professor in Pennsylvania known for her expertise on serial killers and, for the last few months, pursued a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University, about 10 miles from the Idaho crime scene.

Less than two months later, Mr. Kohberger would be the subject of a criminal inquiry, arrested last week and charged with the Nov. 13 murder of the four students.

Mr. Kohberger’s deep interest in the psychology of criminals has opened another layer of mystery in a case that traumatized the college town of Moscow, Idaho, and spawned countless theories from people around the country, who followed the case in captivated horror.

Peers and former classmates of Mr. Kohberger, who grew up in suburban eastern Pennsylvania, recalled that he had an analytical mind, but could sometimes be cruel.

Thomas Arntz befriended him while riding the school bus around 2009. He said their friendship ended in 2014 after lighthearted “ribbing and jabbing” between friends turned “meanspirited,” with Mr. Kohberger sometimes putting him in a headlock hold.

“Over time it just got so, so bad that I just shut down when I was around him,” said Mr. Arntz, now 26. “I eventually just had to cut ties with him.”

Mr. Kohberger struggled with a heroin addiction beginning in high school but had seemed to have moved past it in recent years, according to those who knew him. After earning a psychology degree at a community college in 2018, he began studying psychology and later criminal justice at DeSales University, a Catholic institution in Center Valley, Pa. There, he studied in part under Katherine Ramsland, a well-known forensic psychologist whose books include “The Mind of a Murderer” and “How to Catch a Killer.”

In a post on Reddit from about seven months ago, a user who identified himself as Bryan Kohberger sought people who had spent time in prison to take a survey about crimes they had committed. The survey listed Mr. Kohberger as a student investigator working with two professors at DeSales, and it asked respondents to describe their “thoughts, emotions and actions from the beginning to end of the crime commission process.”

Mr. Kohberger was a quiet person who liked to work alone but came across as smart, said Brittany Slaven, who took several classes with him at DeSales. She recalled an instance in one of Dr. Ramsland’s classes when students were asked to look at photos of a crime scene and figure out what happened; she said Mr. Kohberger was quick to come up with ideas.

He seemed to show a particular interest in crime scenes and serial killers, Ms. Slaven said.

“At the time it seemed as if he was just a curious student, so if his questions felt odd we didn’t think much of it because it fit our curriculum,” she said.

The victims: Loved ones spoke of kind hearts and bright futures.

Madison Mogen , who went by Maddie, was a senior from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, who was majoring in marketing. Her grandmother, Kim Cheeley, said Ms. Mogen had always been a gentle and caring person who kept many long-term friendships and close ties with an extended family.

Ms. Mogen’s boyfriend, Jake Schriger, said she had been excited for graduation and talked about wanting to explore other parts of the world. Ms. Mogen always spread positivity and brought acts of kindness to others, Mr. Schriger said, adding that he hoped people would remember her for the love she had given to others.

“There’s no words that I can really describe her — how amazing she was and how wonderful of a person she was,” Mr. Schriger said.

Kaylee Goncalves , who was from Rathdrum, Idaho, had been set to graduate early in December and planned to move to Austin, Texas, with one of her close friends in June. The friend, Jordyn Quesnell, said Ms. Goncalves had secured a position with a marketing firm and was excited to explore more of the country.

“We wanted that adventure,” Ms. Quesnell said. “I would be like, ‘Let’s go do this,’ and she’d be like, ‘Down!’”

Alivea Goncalves said her younger sister and Ms. Mogen had served as bridesmaids for her wedding. Her sister, she said, still shared a dog with her former boyfriend, and the two had seemed likely to get back together.

Ethan Chapin , from Conway, Wash., was one of a set of triplets and had spent much of Nov. 12, the day before the killings, with both of his siblings, who are also University of Idaho students, their mother, Stacy Chapin, said. In the evening, they all attended a dance together held by his sister’s sorority, she said.

“My kids are very thankful that it was time well spent with him,” Ms. Chapin said. “He was literally the life of the party. He made everybody laugh. He was just the kindest person.”

Mr. Chapin played basketball in high school and was known by friends and family members for always having a big smile, ever since he was a baby. Ms. Chapin described her son as “just the brightest light.”

Xana Kernodle grew up in Idaho but spent time in Arizona in recent years, according to an interview that her father, Jeffrey Kernodle, gave to an Arizona TV station .

Mr. Kernodle told the station that his daughter was strong-willed and had enjoyed having an independent life in college.

He said his daughter had apparently tried to fight her attacker, an account backed up by Cathy Mabbutt, the coroner. Mr. Kernodle expressed shock that his daughter could be killed while at home with friends and said that he, too, had no idea who could have committed the attacks.

“She was with her friends all the time,” Mr. Kernodle said.

The suspect received a new license plate five days after the murders, and was pulled over as he drove across the country.

MOSCOW, Idaho — The man accused of killing four University of Idaho college students received a new license plate for his car five days after the murders, according to records released Wednesday.

The licensing documents in Washington State show that the vehicle driven by the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, was a white Hyundai Elantra, the type of vehicle that investigators had been seeking in recent weeks.

The police in Moscow had said that a white Hyundai Elantra from between 2011 and 2013 had been seen near the scene of the crimes on the night of the killings in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13. Mr. Kohberger’s car was a 2015 model and registered on Nov. 18, according to the licensing document. A vehicle history report shows the car had previously been registered in Pennsylvania, where Mr. Kohberger is from.

Mr. Kohberger, 28, had moved to Pullman, Wash., in recent months and began studying criminology in a Ph.D. program at Washington State University in August. He has said through a lawyer that he expects to be exonerated in the case. Mr. Kohberger’s new lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the license plate records.

On Wednesday, the police in Indiana released new body camera footage showing that, two weeks before Mr. Kohberger was arrested, the police there had pulled him over twice in a 10-minute stretch for tailgating. The traffic stops, on Dec. 15, came as Mr. Kohberger was driving across the country with his father for winter break in the same car for which he had obtained the new license plate.

During both stops, the suspect’s father mentioned a fatal police standoff that took place that morning near Washington State University, where his son was a student, and told the officer that he and his son had been discussing the “horrifying” incident.

The police shooting that they were discussing does not appear to have any connection to the four fatal stabbings that occurred about a month earlier in Idaho, just across the border from the W.S.U. campus. Mr. Kohberger is now charged with four counts of murder in the stabbings.

Mr. Kohberger was the driver of the car during both stops, and the new footage is the most that the public has seen of him since he became the subject of intense scrutiny after his arrest. On Wednesday, Mr. Kohberger was flown by the police from Pennsylvania, where he was visiting his parents after the road trip, to Idaho, where he stands accused of stabbing four students to death overnight in their home on Nov. 13.

The Pennsylvania State Police plane touched down at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport shortly before 6:30 p.m., and Mr. Kohberger was booked into the Latah County Jail in Moscow.

Mr. Kohberger’s father, Michael Kohberger, visited him in December, and they drove across the country from the W.S.U. campus in Pullman, Wash., to their home in eastern Pennsylvania. During that trip, they were pulled over twice on Dec. 15 for tailgating; in both traffic stops, the officers let the men off with a warning.

There is no indication that the police in Indiana had any idea that Mr. Kohberger would be arrested for the murders, or that they were aware of the police in Moscow, Idaho, saying that a white Hyundai Elantra had been seen near the crime scene on the night of the murders.

During the first stop, at about 10:42 a.m., a deputy with the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department pulled Mr. Kohberger and his father over along Interstate 70, just east of Indianapolis. The body camera footage released on Wednesday captured the deputy asking where the two were headed. In response, Mr. Kohberger’s father said that they were coming from Washington and had been talking about the police standoff that was unfolding near the Washington State campus that day.

Mr. Kohberger’s father told the officer that there had been a “mass shooting.” He was corrected by his son, who said, “We don’t know if it was a mass shooting,” and referred to a SWAT team being called for the standoff. “It’s horrifying,” Mr. Kohberger’s father said in the video. That incident involved a man who the police later said had barricaded himself in an apartment and threatened to kill his roommates before a police officer shot him to death.

At another point in the video, the father said, “We’re slightly punchy because we’ve been driving for hours.”

After about three minutes, the deputy said, “Do me a favor and don’t follow too close, OK?” and then returned Mr. Kohberger’s driver’s license and let them go.

Just five minutes later, Mr. Kohberger and his father were pulled over again, this time by an Indiana state trooper who also said that they were tailgating. The audio from the trooper’s body camera is obscured by traffic noise, but Mr. Kohberger and his father could be heard telling the officer that they were just stopped minutes earlier. Again, the father brought up the incident that morning at Washington State. The trooper wished them a safe trip and let them go with a warning.

It was two weeks later, on Dec. 30, that the police in Pennsylvania carried out a predawn raid of Mr. Kohberger’s parents’ home, arresting Mr. Kohberger on suspicion of carrying out the Idaho killings. They also searched his car and executed a warrant to obtain his DNA, officials said. Mr. Kohberger has said through a public defender that he looks forward to being exonerated.

Mr. Kohberger had just completed his first semester at Washington State, which is about a 15-minute drive from the crime scene in Moscow. Classmates said he had shown an interest in the psychology of criminals as well as in forensics .

The murders of the four University of Idaho student victims — Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20 — and the arrest of Mr. Kohberger have rattled the neighboring college towns of Moscow and Pullman.

The stabbing took place in the early morning hours at a home along a dead-end street a five-minute walk from campus. The police have said that the victims were most likely asleep when they were attacked, and two more roommates were in the home but apparently slept through the killings.

Friends and relatives of the victims are searching for any connection between the victims and Mr. Kohberger, but so far none has been disclosed.

The police have said that the surviving roommates realized something was wrong only late in the morning and believed that one of their roommates had passed out. They called friends to the home and then someone called 911, after which police officers discovered the grisly scene.

The Idaho Murders, Part 1: How 4 College Kids Lived and Loved

By Kathleen Hale

Bryan Kohberger was unusual, but he didn’t necessarily want to be. In middle school, he wore  polos and tried to be popular . Instead, he was known by some for being  creepy . With a dead-eyed stare, he pursued unattainable girls—“mainly the  ‘pretty’ ones who were out of his league,” as one classmate later put it. He gave them “a  weird feeling in their stomach,” another said. 

For a while, Bryan maintained a  quasi-friendship (and only at school) with an autistic classmate, Lee (a pseudonym), who was also bullied. But eventually, even Lee grew wary. 

“He just had something about him that seemed ‘off,’” Lee would later write on Reddit. “And I was trying to better my own social standing as I was, at that time, a bit of a social outcast myself because of my autism. So, I didn’t want to associate myself with him.” Bryan seemed to waver between emotionlessness and fury even under the best of circumstances. But rejection could make him belligerent. According to Lee, when they were about 13, he told Bryan the friendship was over. In response, Bryan  attacked Lee. “He pinned me because he was VERY overweight. I was chubby myself, but he was probably 50+ lbs heavier than me.”

In the following years, Lee says, Bryan took up  boxing and shed the extra weight. Bryan’s former aunt told a reporter that he  refused to eat animal products, or any food that had touched anything that might have once touched animal products. Maybe Bryan thought diet would cure visual snow syndrome ( VSS ), a disorder in which vision is clouded by white dots resembling TV static. For a number of years, Bryan, or someone who shares his photograph, birthdate, and email,  recorded a journey into VSS and mental deterioration on a message board. (Many of those posts were recently removed.) 

I am 15 in 21 days and don’t want to wish I’m dead because of this horrible thing.   Something major is wrong with me. I am just a blank soul. I used to be a spelling bee champion. My doctor put me on every medication and it made me crazy. I always feel as if I am not there, completely depersonalized. Mentally I…feel like my life is a movie…[I have] Delusions of Grandeur…poor social skills…NO EMOTION…I can say and do whatever I want with little remorse…everyone hates me pretty much I am an asshole I broke my table for no reason. I find no joy in life? I simply don’t want to live anymore .

Bryan attended school in Pleasant Valley, the same district that employed his mom, MaryAnn, as a  teacher’s aide , and his dad, Michael, as a  maintenance worker. The family struggled financially, court documents show; at one point, MaryAnn and Michael had $49.77 in savings. When Bryan was around 15, they declared bankruptcy for the  second time. During this period,  according to old acquaintances, Bryan started doing heroin. Though he eventually got clean, his old friends heard, people would later wonder whether opioids might have held Bryan’s demons at bay—stoned users slump in the corner like drunken Pooh Bears, they do not gut people. 

By high school, though, people like Lee were no longer speaking to Bryan, who, it  seemed , grew meaner as he grew thinner. 

While Bryan was finishing high school in  2013 , sixth graders Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were cementing their  best friendship . They met that year at Coeur d’Alene  Charter Academy in the tourist town where Maddie’s mom  managed a hotel. Visitors descended every summer to parasail and paddleboard. Maddie  loved the water too, and Kaylee  had a boat . They both listened to the band  Train . (“ She never compromises / Loves babies and surprises / Wears high heels when she exercises / Ain’t that beautiful? ”) They went on each other’s  family vacations —Hawaii, Mexico. As high school approached, they successfully  campaigned for their parents to let them enroll at the comparatively huge Lake City High School. Their birthdays, May 25 and June 8, were only two weeks apart.

Not so far away, Xana Kernodle was having a very different kind of childhood. While Kaylee and Maddie were jumping off docks in Coeur d’Alene, a landlord was  evicting Xana’s mother, Cara Kernodle, from her apartment.  For a time when she was young, Xana lived in  Arizona , where she played kickball barefoot until the soles of her feet turned black. She had brown hair and a bright smile, and she was, perhaps, searching for a mother figure. In college, she would spend football tailgates  charming the parents of her friends, always going home with somebody’s mom’s phone number, excited to text with them.

Cara’s housing difficulties were just one card in a stack of trouble. She had struggled with meth, and Xana’s dad, Jeffrey, admitted in court to having used it as well. Cara wore an ankle monitor until Xana’s birth. When Xana was five months old, Cara was incarcerated on new drug charges. She was released shortly before Xana’s first birthday, then  arrested on drug charges again. The tragic pattern continued until Cara and Jeffrey divorced, and Xana and her older sister, Jazzmin, were  placed with an aunt and uncle in 2004. 

(Cara and Jeff were not the only parents with substance issues. Maddie’s dad also struggled with drugs and related legal charges. The court-appointed criminal defense attorney currently representing Kohberger had dealt with both families in the past,  according to reports . In 2021, with a  population of less than 2 million, Idaho filled 1,180,947 opioid prescriptions. In 2021, about 1 out of 800 Idahoans died from opioid-related issues. These realities may have been, in part, what instigated a social media fiction, early in the investigation, that perhaps  parents’ drugs or  drug use had something to do with the students’ murders.)

But Xana refused to back down in the face of such challenges. She appeared to reject sadness. She practiced self-love. Like Maddie and Kaylee, she seemed to believe  destiny could be helped along by a positive attitude. 

“Happiness looks gorgeous on you,” Xana affirmed to herself, posting inspirational quotes to her Pinterest board. “Be the  energy you want to attract.”

After graduating high school in 2013, Bryan returned to his old stomping grounds at Pleasant Valley High to work as a  security guard . According to Hayley Willette, she and Bryan went on a  Tinder date in 2015 to see an action movie ( selected by Bryan ; Hayley does not remember the title). At the theater, Bryan’s behavior struck Hayley as “ normal .” He held the door for her. He was polite to the ushers. He was able to hold a conversation with Hayley, who  described him as “quiet” but “not shy.” At the time, Hayley had blond hair, just like Kaylee and Maddie.

After the movie,  Bryan drove Hayley back to her dorm at Penn State Hazleton.

“He kinda invited himself inside,” Hayley later recall ed, “and I was just like, ‘Okay.’ I went along with it…I was young, I was stupid, and I thought I was invincible.”

In Hayley’s dorm room, they watched another movie on Netflix. To  Hayley’s confusion , Bryan kept tickling her, then pretending he hadn’t just tickled her, saying (in a voice that Hayley described as “super serious”), “I’m not touching you.” When Hayley told Bryan she needed to use the bathroom, he followed her there, standing right outside the door. Hayley wasn’t impressed. “I need to get this dude to leave,” she said she thought . So, knowing that Bryan could hear her, Hayley pretended to throw up. 

“It wasn’t because I was scared of him or, like, thought he would hurt me if I asked him to leave,” she further explained. “It was just mostly because I’m socially awkward and didn’t know how to ask him to leave. So that’s what I did.”

Her plan seemed to work; after hearing Hayley “throw up,” Bryan messaged her that he was leaving. (“Awesome,” Hayley said she thought.) She assumed that she was free of him. About an hour later, she said, he messaged her to note she had “ good birthing hips .”

She never spoke to him again. 

In 2018, Kohberger graduated from Northampton Community College with a degree in  psychology alongside  750 classmates , some of whom wore caps  bedazzled with uplifting phrases like, “Just getting started” and “Vote for me in 10 years.” By 2020, he’d  enrolled at DeSales University , a Catholic college, where he studied under  Dr. Katherine Ramsland , a serial-killer expert who’s written books including  How to Catch a Killer and  The Mind of a Murderer. Her  biography of Dennis Rader, a.k.a. “BTK”—meaning “bind, torture, kill”—promises readers “a rare glimpse into the mind of a serial killer and the potential darkness that lives next door.” Ramsland’s expertise came  post -arrest, of course. As she put it in a  2018 interview , “Psychologists are not detectives and ought not to be portrayed as such.”

Bryan seemed to thrive at DeSales, where, according to a fellow student, he  showed intense interest in mass murderers and crime scenes. One of his professors would remember him as “ a brilliant student .”

But something was off. According to the  New York Post, employees at Seven Sirens Brewing Company in Pennsylvania  recalled Bryan sitting by himself, staring at people, until he inevitably started harassing women after having a few beers—asking them creepy questions about where they lived or whom they were with. If the women edged away, Bryan lashed out at them. When a female bartender refused to answer his questions, Bryan called her a bitch. The brewery’s owner eventually confronted Bryan, urging him to be more “respectful.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” answered Bryan. “You totally have me confused.” Then he left and never returned.

Last May, Bryan ascended a makeshift  stage in a local sports arena to collect his diploma. He exchanged an expressionless fist bump with the director of DeSales’s criminal justice program. Before the ceremony ended, Father Kevin Nadolski applauded graduates for their sensitivity to others. The DeSales University motto was: “Be who you are and be that well.” While exiting the auditorium, Bryan’s deep-set eyes and prominent brow created such dark shadows that, from certain angles, it looked like he was wearing sunglasses.

Around that same time, Bryan posted on Reddit to invite criminals to participate in what he claimed was a  research project approved by DeSales.

Hello, My name is Bryan …[ T]his study seeks to understand the story behind your most recent criminal offense, with an emphasis on your thoughts and feelings throughout your experience.… This research has been approved by the DeSales UniversityIRB.… Thank you for your time! Upon arriving, what steps did you take prior to locating the victim or target?… How did you leave the scene?… Did you struggle with or fight the victim?… Did you prepare for the crime before leaving your home?… How did you travel to and enter the location that the crime occurred?… Before making your move, how did you approach the victim or target?… How did you accomplish your goal? (Please explain what you were thinking and feeling)…

He included various hypothetical scenarios, asking respondents to describe their feelings:

At a coworker’s housewarming party, you spill red wine on their new cream-colored carpet. You cover the stain with a chair so that nobody notices your mess. What is the likelihood that you would feel that the way you acted was pathetic? (Unlikely/Likely)…  

And statements soliciting respondents’ personality traits:

When I get mad, I say nasty things…   I am quick tempered… I have a fiery temper…   Sometimes I can’t stop myself from doing something, even if I know it is wrong…

A few months after posting, Bryan started school in Pullman, Washington, to pursue a PhD in criminology at Washington State University. On campus, he settled into a student office in  Wilson-Short Hall , a beautiful old structure surrounded by trees, just across the courtyard from a library. Off campus, he lived in a drab gray complex for faculty housing. 

As a teaching assistant, Bryan earned a  reputation as an annoyingly harsh grader who gave way too much unsolicited criticism, covering student papers with handwritten notes. He developed a reputation for being arrogant and alienating. As he did in Pennsylvania, Bryan picked fights—only now, his public battles seemed intellectual. Bryan’s new graduate cohort would  later describe him as aggressively pretentious, desperate to prove intellectual superiority, especially over women.

But Bryan was no genius. His verbose pontifications left people confused. As one WSU student  put it , “One thing he would always do, almost without fail, was find the most complicated way to explain something.” When Bryan ran into his neighbor Gaurav Narang, a computer science and engineering graduate student, on the stairwell of their apartment building, he’d corner him to “talk about why people commit crime,”  according to Narang . 

How was your life right before the crime occurred?   Why did you choose that victim or target over others?  

About a week before Ethan Chapin died, his parents, Stacy and Jim, drove to the University of Idaho for parents weekend. It wasn’t so very long ago that they had  three high chairs in the kitchen . Ethan was the oldest, born a few moments ahead of Maizie and Hunter. Now, Ethan and Hunter were Sigma Chis, Maizie a Kappa Alpha Theta. A photo of the three in a tulip field shows the triplets posing as UIdaho Vandals. 

Stacy and Jim were elated to see their babies settled into student lives. “We’ve done it,”  they said as they began the drive back home. “We’ve literally done it as parents. We’ve created three incredible humans that will go on and have something great to offer this world.” They couldn’t have guessed that that weekend would be the last time they’d see Ethan.

Formerly called “Paradise,” Moscow, Idaho, wasn’t just safe, it was wholesome, with a history of what  one resident called “unusual happenings” and “eccentric people,” like Frank “Psychiana” Robinson, who “actually and literally” talked with God and invented what some thought to be the largest mail-order religion in the world, and “Wild Davie,” a long-haired man who lived in a hut and was followed through town by a pack of dogs. And it still feels safe—wholesome.

By 2022, it remained the sort of place where, even on Main Street, you could always find a parking place. Students mill through town with UIdaho key lanyards hanging down from inside their coats like tzitzit. When snow turns to slush, concerned citizens put out signs at the crosswalk, warning pedestrians, “CAUTION: GIANT PUDDLE AHEAD!” There’s a local brewery called Hunga Dunga and a gas station called Nomnom. In 2021 there were  zero reported cases of fondling, gambling, prostitution, or animal cruelty; 911 calls revolved around noise complaints, stray animals, and public intoxication. In the days before November 13, 2022, the docket featured a report on the “odor of marijuana.” Another caller said they’d found a lost debit card. 

Seven years had passed without a single homicide.

On November 12, 2022, Maddie and Kaylee were putting on makeup. They had adored each other for nearly a decade now, and were still a team at the University of Idaho, where they lived off campus with three other girls in a six-bedroom house at the intersection of King and Queen roads. Living off campus meant that Kaylee, Maddie, and their housemates were free to throw parties, a privilege they took seriously, according to their neighbors. The house was a lantern, lit from within, brimming with energy, pulsating country and trap music, and laughter. 

It really wasn’t Kaylee’s house anymore, though, and she wouldn’t have been there had she not returned to Moscow last minute to show Maddie  her new car : a gray Range Rover that she’d bought for herself, used but spiffy, perfect for her  new job at a marketing firm in Austin, which was set to begin in February. Both she and Maddie were hard workers. Maddie made the  dean’s list . She’d been earning her own money since she started cleaning her mom’s hotel  as a kid , and it was a personal  goal to one day be a millionaire. 

Kaylee’s move to Texas would signify a turning point in the girls’ friendship. That night, as they prepared to go out, it perhaps occurred to them, with a spark of deep feeling, that they had spent half their lives doing everything together—so many birthdays, two graduations, years watching each other grow and thrive and fall in love. It would have been unthinkable to them—to anyone—that, later that same night, they would die together,  side by side until the end . 

Down a narrow path and across a field, their beloved housemate Xana entered the bright blue Sigma Chi frat house with her first-ever boyfriend, 20-year-old Ethan Chapin. Not a lot had improved in the past decade with Xana’s mom; Cara had recently been arrested again for possession of a controlled substance, this time with the intention of dealing. Yet Xana was thriving. She found meaning in Elton John’s  lyrics : “Live for each second without hesitation.” She  loved Nirvana, bunny rabbits, and glitter too. The home she’d built with Kaylee and Maddie was full of fun. (Xana was the only one of her housemates with brown hair. But that was okay because “ brunette girls are good for the soul .”) She had strong opinions but was also the first to admit that she was still learning: “ All legends fall in the making ,” and “I would just like to publicly  announce that  I have no idea what I’m doing .” 

But Xana knew that she loved Ethan. He was kind, hilarious, and fun.  On a roller-coaster ride , he’d flash his nipples just as the camera flashed. Sometimes he dressed up like a hot dog. Other times he burst out singing songs from  Moana. His drink was  Bud Light Lime .   To understand Ethan, all anybody really needed to know was that he was a tulip farmer. A fellow gardener  would later describe Ethan’s soul as “100% pure.”

Ethan invited Xana to his vacation house in Priest Lake, Idaho, last summer. They spent a lot of time with Ethan’s  older brother (his dad’s son from an earlier marriage) and nephew, who loved to call Xana “Banana.” Every day Ethan rushed home from his summer job as a waiter to see Banana. They made each other laugh with inside jokes that nobody else understood. They adored each other.

The two kicked off their last night on earth at Sigma Chi, where the house dog was a husky named Bolt. Xana’s younger housemate, Bethany—a member of Xana and Maddie’s sorority— was also at Sigma Chi that night . Bethany  would later say that Xana and Ethan’s relationship had made her believe in love. 

The Corner Club is brightly lit and squeaky clean. Founded in 1948, it’s the sort of town-and-gown place where local mechanics hang out with professors, and the bouncer is so hard on fake IDs that when UIdaho students finally gain entry upon their actual 21st birthday, they feel they’ve earned their place. Every year the homecoming king and queen stand atop the bar and sing the fight song: “Came a tribe from the North, brave and bold / Bearing banners of silver and gold / Tried and true to subdue all their foes / Go Vandals, go mighty Vandals!”

Right along with the men’s sports memorabilia on show, the owner has taken care to display pom-poms, volleyballs, and women’s basketball jerseys. UIdaho has a feminist history—in 1896, decades ahead of schools like Harvard and Yale, half of UIdaho’s graduating class was made up of women. 

At the Corner Club, customers like Kaylee and Maddie could feel comfortable and safe telling an employee, “Hey, this guy isn’t making me feel good,” or “This guy did this,” or “This guy did that,” knowing that the matter would be addressed. Kaylee was recently single, but Maddie was almost two years into her first big romance. Her boyfriend, Jake, adored her; he loved how much she loved being “comfy”—whenever Maddie found a couch, she also managed to find a fuzzy blanket, popping off her shoes to reveal similarly fuzzy socks. He loved how, whenever they went places together, she routinely stopped to point out cute things to him (anything pink or tiny). 

Maddie and Kaylee breezed into the Corner Club around 10 p.m. that Saturday, six hours before the murders. Flat-screen TVs played ESPN on mute. Those who cared about college football were drowning their sorrows in “Tub Cups,” the Corner Club’s largest available drink size, weighing in at 30 ounces. After a solid season the UIdaho Vandals had just lost an embarrassingly winnable game against UC Davis. Locals likely thought it would be the worst thing to happen that weekend.

On November 13, around 1:30 a.m., Kaylee and Maddie exited the Corner Club and took a left on Main Street. It was 28 degrees outside, and cold air slipped through the torn knees of Kaylee’s wide-leg jeans. Maddie wore an oversized jacket. The sleeves flapped around her hands as she talked and gesticulated. They passed Zions Bank and Mingles—a billiards bar with a shark on its sign, wielding a cue stick in one fin and a martini glass in the other—before making their way to the Grub truck parked just down the road. While standing in line, Maddie recognized someone and went to give them one of her famous hugs. 

Kaylee swayed on her feet, struggling to say the word  carbonara as she placed her order. She and Maddie booked a ride home. The Grub truck was less than a mile from 1122 King Road, but it was freezing out and walking home meant venturing down unlit stretches of road. They were smart. 

On the way home, they chatted with their driver, a guy they already knew because it was a small town and he’d picked them up before. Later  he would say , “It’s not lost on me that my job was to get these girls home safe.”

Ten minutes later, Kaylee and Maddie climbed out of the car and trudged up the driveway to their house. It was nearly 2 a.m. Crumpled cans of Keystone beer littered the yard. At the girls’ many parties, strangers let themselves in and out of the house all the time. There was a number lock on the front door, the passcode to which the five housemates  shared with their many friends, who, in turn, shared it with their friends. 

Xana and Ethan, along with Xana’s housemates  Dylan and Bethany , had gotten home not long before.

Within the hour, Kaylee tried to call her ex-boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, seven times. They’d dated for five years. He was her high school sweetheart. Kaylee’s family thought she would marry him. Instead she’d broken up with him three weeks earlier. 

Kaylee was starting over in every way. Beginning a brand-new chapter. But she and Jack still shared the dog that they’d gotten together, a goldendoodle named Murphy. Kaylee’s landlord had a no-pets policy, but perhaps they’d bent the rules for Murphy because he was so cute. The next day police would open Kaylee’s bedroom door to find the dog unharmed.

What the public knows about what happened next does not come from the girls or Ethan, but from the affidavit to arrest their alleged killer.

As the girls wound down and went to bed, a white Hyundai Elantra passed back and forth in front of the house. 

Bethany slept on the first floor of the house, in a subbasement built into a hill. Dylan had a bedroom on the  second floor , the same level as Xana’s. One floor above that were Maddie’s and Kaylee’s rooms. 

Maybe the person in the Elantra could see their lights go out, one by one—perhaps they saw Xana’s flicker back on when she retrieved a late-night food delivery. In any case,  the car stopped circling the block around 4 a.m. and parked outside.

From the back of the house, a sliding glass door opened into the kitchen, and would have revealed an anthropological buffet: a used colander, a sticky stack of unwashed cereal bowls, one partially consumed coffee. Beer pong was set up on one of the tables. In the living room hung a neon sign declaring “Good Vibes.” 

Dylan woke around 4 a.m. to what sounded like Kaylee playing with Murphy on the floor above. Then, it sounded like someone, one of the girls, said, “There’s someone here.” 

Dylan opened her bedroom door but saw nothing and went back to bed. When she heard “crying coming from Kernodle’s room,” followed by a male voice saying “something to the effect of,  ‘It’s okay, I’m going to help you ,’” she opened her door again, and again saw nothing. 

At 4:17 a.m., Murphy started  barking upstairs. Neighborhood cameras picked up what sounded like whimpering, followed by a loud thud. When the crying continued, Dylan opened her door for a third time. 

In the darkness, Dylan saw a stranger in black clothes, his face covered except for his eyes. She noticed his “ bushy eyebrows .” 

Dylan stood there, frozen, as the stranger walked straight past her. Later, using a presumptive blood test, police found a shoe print right outside her doorway. 

All at once, it was over, in just 15 minutes. 

What happened between Dylan’s encounter and the 911 call hours later remains unknown to the public. The two surviving roommates woke to discover the aftermath of those strange noises and voices in the night. In the kitchen, red liquid dripped down the cabinets, coming from the direction of one of the third-floor bedrooms. Off the hallway lay Ethan and Xana. On the exterior of Xana’s bedroom wall, more red liquid dripped down the concrete foundation. Upstairs, Maddie’s body was sprawled beside Kaylee’s. Investigators  later called it the worst crime scene they’d ever seen.  

One of the surviving roommates fainted. The other hyperventilated , unable to speak coherently to the 911 operator. Based on what they were able to make out, the dispatcher filed the call under “unconscious person.”

After the killings, Bryan seemed “ chattier ,” “ more upbeat ,” and relaxed. His students started to get  better grades and lighter feedback. He got a  new license plate for his car and a fresh haircut.

In the initial stages of the investigation, some of the victims’ families bristled at Moscow police chief James Fry’s lack of transparency. On December 3, Xana’s distraught mom, Cara, phoned a news program to discuss her frustration with law enforcement and talk about her daughter. Throughout the segment, Cara’s responses indicated a deeper level of grief— she had never been to 1122 King Road; she didn’t know what kind of car Xana drove . Cara was caught in a different kind of mourning: She’d lost someone she loved but never really knew.

Meanwhile, desperate for someone to blame—and terrified that a killer was on the loose—the public cried out for a suspect. Three weeks after the murders, facing rampant criticism, Fry held fast to his prerogative to keep new developments under lock and key. Web sleuths disagreed with this decision, scrambling to fill the vacuum of facts with their own theories, many of which involved accusations that led to victims’ families, neighbors, friends, former employers, and boyfriends, as well as local business owners in Moscow, being harassed as they tried to navigate their immense grief. 

To online voyeurs, so used to getting immediate answers with a quick Google search, the lack of new information felt unacceptable, even corrupt, more like censorship than justice. Nobody seemed to understand that leaks caused issues at trial. They simply wanted to solve the crime themselves like the geniuses they knew themselves to be.

Of course Fry wanted justice. But he took the long view, tamping down leaks to protect the integrity of his case. If he made a single mistake, or the wrong thing got out, everything could fall apart at trial. Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan’s killer could walk free. He held firm to a sentiment that Maddie had once felt was important too: “Don’t let the  internet rush you.” 

Facing backlash, Fry finally brokered an emotional compromise, announcing that he’d be recovering the girls’ personal items from inside the house and turning them over to the victims’ families. On December 7 , he made a point of driving the U-Haul to the house himself and backing it into the driveway—no easy feat on a snowy hill. As he reversed into the driveway, his wheels spun in the slush. Another officer hopped on the rear bumper to give the van some traction. But it was no use. There would be no privacy today. Officers would be forced to parade in and out of the home with the girls’ belongings in front of the press. 

Cops tiptoed down the icy drive in a solemn procession, clutching golf clubs, a body pillow, a yellow suitcase, pink hair curlers, a vacuum cleaner. Imagine wanting answers and only being able to accept your dead daughter’s vacuum cleaner. But Aaron Snell, the communications director for the Idaho State Police, assured  reporters : “I guarantee you, behind the scenes, there’s so much work going on.”

“We’re going to solve this,”  he said . 

Later that same day, the Moscow Police announced that they were looking for a white Hyundai Elantra. Security-camera footage from the night of the killings showed a car matching that description parking in front of the King Road residence and racing from the area of the crime scene. 

Back at WSU, Bryan climbed into his white Hyundai Elantra—along with his dad, Michael Kohberger, who’d recently  flown in from Pennsylvania for a road trip with his son—and began the  37-hour drive back home to the Poconos. 

En route home, Bryan and Michael were  stopped twice , both times in Indiana.   By the time they made it to  Indian Mountain Lake , their home community in the Pocono Mountains, Bryan’s Hyundai Elantra was filthy. Pollution, rain, snow, and dirt had stained the white car brown. Bryan parked it in the driveway of his parents’ modest home, purchased in 2014 for $138,500. Over the next two weeks,  he was seen wearing gloves while grocery shopping.

In the  early hours of December 30, 2022, under cover of darkness, a SERT (special emergency response team) crept from the trees surrounding the Kohberger house. Doors splintered. Windows shattered. 

In Moscow, things are slowly returning to normal. On the community bulletin board at Bucer’s Coffeehouse, just above an image of Kaylee, Maddie, Ethan, and Xana, someone posted a flyer for a missing backpack. Locals feel relieved that a suspect is in custody. Kaylee’s father told reporters the family favors the death penalty, in no uncertain terms: “Justice is when you leave the planet.” 

Private security guards take turns protecting 1122 King Road. Prior to his night shift, one guard reassured himself, “Nothing is stronger than God,” praying for protection against the violent energy inside the house.

Inside, where Kaylee, Xana, and Maddie had once pinned, posted, and practiced their favorite affirmations: 

“ Don’t panic. ”

“I don’t know where I’m going from here, but  I promise it won’t be boring .”

“ Paradise is where I am.” CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story misstated the location of Maddie Mogen’s bedroom. It is not directly over the kitchen. This story has been updated.  

While social media puts forth speculation and false information, channels like NewsNation are making a name in true-crime coverage.
