●  Mystery and Horror in Small College Town as Criminology Student Arrested for Brutal Murders

 

 

A 28-year-old criminology student, Bryan C. Kohberger, has been arrested and charged with the murder of four University of Idaho college students. The students were found stabbed to death in a home near their campus in Moscow, Idaho on November 13. The murders horrified the small Idaho college town and prompted many students to stay home and finish classes online after Thanksgiving break. Kohberger was arrested at his parents' home in Effort, Pennsylvania, where he had recently been staying. He was pursuing a PhD in criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University, located near Moscow, Idaho, and had recently graduated from DeSales University with a master's degree in criminal justice.

 

Kohberger has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bail in Pennsylvania. An extradition hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday. The motive for the murders is unknown and the knife believed to have been used in the attacks has not been found. The victims, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were attacked in at least two separate bedrooms as they slept. Two roommates reportedly slept through the stabbings and did not wake up until several hours later.

 

Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old graduate student at Washington State University, has also been arrested and charged with the murder of the four University of Idaho students. Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania, where he had been living with his parents. Authorities traced his ownership of a white Hyundai Elantra seen in the area of the killings and found that his DNA matched genetic material recovered at the crime scene. Kohberger has been charged with four counts of murder in the first degree and felony burglary. He is being held without bail in Pennsylvania and an extradition hearing has been scheduled for January 3. The motive for the murders is currently unknown.

 

According to a news release from Washington State University, Kohberger completed his first semester as a PhD student in the school's criminal justice program earlier this month. Elizabeth Chilton, chancellor of the university's Pullman campus, said the school's police department assisted Idaho law enforcement officials in the execution of search warrants at Kohberger's office and his apartment.

 

The arrest of Kohberger has brought some closure to the small Idaho college town, which was left shaken by the brutal murders. However, many questions still remain about the motive for the killings and the circumstances leading up to the tragedy. It is hoped that the criminal process will bring justice for the victims and their families.
