MOSCOW, Idaho — More than six weeks after four University of Idaho students were mysteriously stabbed to death in a house near the Moscow, Idaho, campus, a suspect was identified and taken into custody.
The four slain students were Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.
Two other roommates -- who survived the attack and are not considered suspects -- also went out in Moscow that night, police said.At about 1:40 a.m., Goncalves and Mogen were seen on video at Grub Truck, a local food vendor, and used a private individual to get a ride home, getting back at 1:45 a.m., police said. A man seen in surveillance video at the Grub Truck and the person who drove them home are not considered suspects, according to authorities.
The roommate said"she looked out of her bedroom but did not see anything when she heard the comment about someone being in the house," the documents said."She opened her door a second time when she heard what she thought was crying coming from Kernodle's room." At about 4:17 a.m., a security camera less than 50 feet from Kernodle's room picked up sounds of a barking dog and"distorted audio of what sounded like voices or a whimper followed by a loud thud," according to the documents.
Kohberger's phone was tracked heading to Moscow before the attack, but the phone was off from 2:47 a.m. to 4:48 a.m., which"is consistent with Kohberger attempting to conceal his location during the quadruple homicide," the affidavit said. "I have to assume and hope that this is all part of their plan and ... they've got this all figured out," he said."I know that there's some really good, hard-working guys and girls that are on this case that I've met. And they looked me in the eyes and they told me straight-out that they're working and they're doing everything in their power."Moscow police had asked the authorities to look out for white Elantras, and on Nov.
After Kohberger's semester at Washington State ended in December, he and his father drove across the country together to the family's Pennsylvania home, his attorney, Monroe County Chief Public Defender Jason LaBar, told ABC News. The state police added,"The Trooper, having learned the two had been stopped minutes before by a Deputy from the Hancock County Sheriff’s Department, who he knew was working just down the interstate from him, used his discretion and released the two men with a verbal warning."Authorities said DNA from the suspect was recovered on a knife sheath left on a victim's bed, according to the documents.
