Where is Bryan Kohberger now? All about the Idaho College Murders

On November 13, 2022, students from the Idaho University, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death in a residence outside campus. The murders horrified the nation, which led to many documentaries that try to win the strange and disturbing tragedy. The latest Amazon Prime video One night in Idaho: the college murderpromises to be one of the most exhaustive.

The four -part series comes from the documentaries Liz Garbus and Matthew Galkin. The first, in particular, is well suited for the subject, because its vast CV includes HBO I will be gone in the dark (2020) and Netflix Gone Girls: The Long Island Serial Killer (2025), who both explore horrible murders who have turned into media frantic.

“Said details by capturing, tense and tearing emotionally only by people involved and affected by crime, the series intimately explores this American tragedy and its continuous impact and its spin -offs”, reads a synopsis, which notes that the series presents exclusive interviews with the parents of Chapin and Mogen.

The series arrives a few days later former doctoral student Bryan Kohberger admitted murders in a signed confession. But who is Kohberger? Why did he do it? And where is it now?

According to CNN, a silhouette in a mask and dark clothes entered the house around 4 am and stabbed the four students, moving from one room to another. A roommate, Dylan Mortensen, testified that she had seen the silhouette during the investigation into the noises in front of the door of her room. Although she discussed what she saw with another roommate, Bethany Funke, no one called 911 until noon around November 13, by court documents.

Two days later, the Moscow police service revealed that the murders had been committed with a “bordered weapon”, as CNN reported, although no weapon of murder was found.

On December 30, a month and a half after the murders, police announced that they had arrested a suspect, Bryan Kohberger, in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, more than 2,000 miles from the crime site. He was then extradited to Idaho, according to the New York Times.

Who is Bryan Kohberger?

At the time of his arrest, Kohberger was 28 years old and had recently completed his first semester as a study in doctorate criminology at the Washington State University Campus, about 15 minutes by car from Moscow.

Kohberger was officially accused of four first degree murder leaders and a criminal burglary chief on December 20, 2022. According to CBS News, Kohberger’s lawyer said his client had refused allegations of his involvement in the murders.

But when he charged in May 2023, Kohberger refused to plead, choosing to “be silent”. On his behalf, the court pleaded “not guilty”. In April 2024, Fox News reported that Kohberger lawyers “firmly” believed in his innocence.

Addressing CBS News, one of Kohberger’s neighbors in Pullman, Washington, said Kohberger had mentioned the murders in the conversation a few days after their arrival. “”[He] Asked if I had heard of murders, which I did, “they said.” And then he said, “Yes, it seems that they have no tracks. It looks like it was a crime of passion. ‘”

While finishing his master’s degree in criminal justice at the University of Desales, Kohberger studied under Dr. Katherine Ramsland, who wrote many books on serial killers, including The spirit of a murderer (2011) and Confession of a serial killer: the unprecedented story of Dennis Rader, the BTK killer (2016). His studies included classes on forensic psychology, the investigation into death and anti-social behavior, by Newspaper.

Although she describes it to Newspaper As a “promising student who could really have made a mark in this career in a very positive way,” she said, “I have to look at what I taught and wonder, I inspired it in one way or another?”

Kohberger’s reputation was less positive at the Washington State University. According to the New York TimesHe was dismissed from his role as an educational assistant in December 2022, a month after the killings. The dismissal followed surveys on his conduct around the students and a “verbal altercation” with a teacher.

THE Times also noted that Kohberger had discussed “not being able to feel emotions” and to feel as if he could do “everything I want with Little Remorse” in the publications of the online forum in the early 2010s. He was also at a time addicted to heroin, according to the Times.

In 2025, Kohberger lawyers revealed that he had an autistic spectrum disorder, which, as CNN says, would explain what could be perceived as a strange behavior that he was seated at the defense table. “

What proof is Kohberger to murders?

While a reason for crime remains elusive and no evidence shows that Kohberger had previous contacts with the victims, the prosecutors shared evidence that they say Kohberger to the murders during a hearing on July 2, 2025, according to the New York Times.

A key evidence was a knife sheath left on the scene of the crime which had part of its DNA on it, which helped the investigators to “build a family tree which led them on behalf of Mr. Kohberger more than a month after the murders”.

Prosecutors also cited video surveillance which represents a car resembling Kohberger surrounding the district of the House of Victims in front of the murders. Kohberger cellular activity should also be noted. While his phone was turned off during the murders, the recordings Later, he revealed that he was close to the house in the hours that followed the killings but before the discovery of the bodies.

As CBS News reports, prosecutors also allege that Kohberger bought a knife and a Ka -Bar knife sheath – the same type of sheath found at crime scene – online a few months before the murders. Kohberger’s defense team planned to argue that the sheath “could have been planted by the real author”.

On July 2, 2025, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all the accusations against him and submitted a signed confession in which he admitted that the murders were “voluntary, illegal, deliberate, with premeditation and malicious after the fact”. He gave no reason why he committed the murders.

The Kohberger’s plea agreement allows him to escape the death penalty, which the prosecutors would have pushed if the case had been judged, according to CBS News. In exchange, the advocacy recommends that Kohberger is serving four consecutive perpetuity penalties for murders and an additional 10 years for the charging accusation. In addition, he renounces any right to appeal and will never be eligible for parole.
