Cash, gloves and screenshots: Top investigators detail Bryan Kohberger’s unusual behavior after Idaho student murders

MOSCOW, IDAHO, JUL 26 – Bryan Kohberger accepted a plea deal that removed the death penalty and received four consecutive life sentences without parole for the stabbing murders of four University of Idaho students.

  • In the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022, Bryan Kohberger entered 1122 King Road and killed four students, investigators said.
  • Following the murders, investigators said Bryan Kohberger exhibited fixated behavior, wore gloves, and avoided the Moscow area, as investigators said.
  • Through forensic analysis, police said DNA from a knife sheath led to Kohberger's arrest, using investigative genetic genealogy.
  • On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Kohberger to four consecutive life terms without parole, imposing $50,000 fines per count and $5,000 civil penalties to each victims' family.
  • With a gag order lifted, prosecutors warned that the motive may never be determined, and investigators said this ongoing issue remains unresolved.
