Moscow Idaho Student Quadruple Homicide

[Lux1969]

In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were fatally stabbed in an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho.

On December 30, suspect Bryan Christopher Kohberger was arrested in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty. A jury trial is scheduled for August 11, 2025, in Boise, Idaho.

I highly doubt that graphic crime scene photos will ever be seen, but we will see. It all depends on if the trial is televised. The case is highly guarded for obvious reasons, and it's a small town—currently a tight gag order. But we'll see.

Here is a of the house, victim locations, etc.


In the early morning of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho college students were stabbed to death in a shared rental home close to campus.Two female victims—Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle—lived in the house. They worked at the same local restaurant. The third, Kaylee Goncalves, had recently moved out of the house but returned to attend a nearby party. The fourth victim, Ethan Chapin, was Kernodle's boyfriend, who was sleeping over on the night of the attacks.
Two other female roommates also lived at the house - Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen. The latter actually glimpsed the killer on his way out, as outlined in the scary ass affidavit

Earlier on the evening of November 12, two of the four victims, Chapin and Kernodle, were at an on-campus party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. They returned home at 1:45 a.m. That evening, the other two victims, Mogen and Goncalves, had gone to The Corner Club, a downtown sports bar at 10 p.m., from which they departed at 1:30 a.m. A live streamed video on Twitch by The Grub Truck, a food truck four blocks south at Friendship Square (Main and Fourth Streets), showed Mogen and Goncalves at 1:41 a.m., chatting and smiling, getting their food 10 minutes later, and leaving to take what the police initially said was an Uber ride home, a trip of about one mile (1.6 km). The police later rephrased their statement to say a "private party " provided the ride," arriving home at 1:56 a.m.

According to the two surviving roommates, the four students were home by 2:00 a.m. Seven unanswered phone calls were made from the phone of Goncalves to her former long-time boyfriend, a fellow student, from 2:26 to 2:52 a.m., and three unanswered calls were made from Mogen's phone to the same person, from 2:44 to 2:52 a.m. These calls were investigated with the police concluding they did not believe the recipient of those missed calls was involved in the crime. A DoorDash order labeled for Xana was delivered to the house around 4 a.m.

The two surviving roommates had allegedly returned home by 1 a.m. Original reports stated both surviving roommates were in their beds on the ground floor at the time of the killings, were not attacked or held hostage, and that neither woke during the killings.[22][23] However, the probable cause affidavit for the case said that one surviving roommate stated she was sleeping on the second floor, the same floor as Kernodle and Chapin, before she was awakened by what sounded like Goncalves and her dog. She stated she later heard a roommate saying something to the effect of "there's someone here."[21][13] The roommate stated she believed this was said by Goncalves,[13] although investigators also believe this might have been Kernodle speaking, as a forensic download of her cell phone showed that she was on the app TikTok at 4:12 a.m.[24]

The surviving roommate stated she opened her door twice within a short span of time, and the second time, heard what sounded like crying coming from Kernodle's room and a male voice saying "it's okay, I'm going to help you." Security cameras near the home heard whimpering, a loud thud, and a dog barking numerous times starting around 4:17 a.m. The surviving roommate allegedly opened her door a third time and saw a figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered his mouth and nose walking towards her. The man, whom the roommate stated she did not recognize, walked past her and used the sliding glass door to exit. The roommate stated she stood in a "frozen shock phase" and then locked herself in her room.

The four victims were stabbed to death on the second and third floors of the residence, where they had been in bed. The victims were not gagged or restrained, and the walls at the scene were spattered with blood. Mogen and Goncalves were found in Mogen's bedroom, and Kernodle and Chapin were found in Kernodle's room.

Before the 911 call was made, the surviving roommates reportedly summoned friends to the residence because they believed one of the second-floor victims was unconscious and was not waking up. Someone at the residence called 911 at 11:58 a.m.—over seven hours after the homicides allegedly occurred—on a surviving roommate's phone to request aid for an "unconscious person." The identity of the 911 caller was not released, but police confirmed the caller was not considered a suspect. When police arrived, the door to the home was open, there was no sign of forced entry or damage inside the home, and nothing appeared to be missing. The two surviving roommates were on the property when police arrived, as were other friends of the victims.

All four victims were pronounced dead at noon. Detectives stated they believe the killings occurred sometime between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. Upon searching the residence, officers came upon Goncalves's dog—which she shared with her ex-boyfriend—alive and unharmed on the third floor.

On February 24, 2023, University of Idaho president C. Scott Green announced that the house where the killings occurred was donated to the university; it was demolished 10 months later on December 28

He’s definitely got some anger issues to work through.

They need to adjust some laws in the US. Take his ass directly to the death chamber and give him the shot 5 minutes after the verdict is handed down. He doesn’t deserve to suck air, eat food or anything else for the next twenty years waiting for his execution. I’d walk him right out of the courtroom to the firing squad.

Have any new crime scene photos been released or leaked since bk took plea deal?

Gag order until sentencing is done. I think I remember someone saying that was in Oct.

Well he took a plea deal like the pussy we all knew he was. This case with always baffle me though. He just seems to have done it for no real reason.
