Pennsylvania Unveils Search Warrant in Murder of 4 Idaho College Students

STROUDSBURG, Pa. (AP) — Law enforcement officials seized dark clothing, medical gloves, a flashlight and other items from a Pennsylvania home where they arrested a graduate student accused of stabbed four University of Idaho students to death, according to recently unsealed court documents.

The records were released Tuesday, two months after Pennsylvania State Police arrested Bryan Kohberger at his parents’ home in eastern Pennsylvania.

Kohberger, a 28-year-old former doctoral student at Washington State University, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary in connection with the stabbing murders in Moscow, Idaho.

The bodies of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found November 13, 2022 in a rental house across from the University of Idaho campus. The killings shocked the rural community of Idaho and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger was a criminology graduate student at Washington State University.

Pennsylvania State Police took Kohberger’s DNA and seized a silver flashlight, four “medical-style gloves”, a white Arizona Jean Co. t-shirt, a black Champion sweatshirt, a pair of black and white size 13 Nike shoes, black Under Armor socks, black Under Armor shorts and black Under Armor boxers, according to an inventory of parts.

The meaning of the items, if any, was not immediately clear.

A roommate who lived in the house where the attack took place told authorities that she woke up in the early morning hours of November 13, opened her bedroom door and saw a masked figure dressed in clothes. blacks pass in front of her.

Kohberger’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for late June. He has not yet entered a plea.

Additional warrants for Kohberger’s arrest in Pennsylvania are to be released on Wednesday.

Investigators seized stained bedding, strands of what looked like hair and a single glove — but no weapon — when they searched Kohberger’s apartment in Washington state, according to released documents in January.
