Arrest made in the depths of four Idaho students

[A930Rocket]

Arrest made in the deaths of four Idaho students. He’s a 28-year-old who graduated from a university in Washington 15 minutes away from the rental home. He was arrested in Pennsylvania. A white Hyundai ELANTRA was towed from the suspects home.

I was hoping this would not be a unresolved murder.

MOSCOW, Idaho – Authorities have arrested a suspect the Nov. 13 murders of four University of Idaho students, a high-ranking law enforcement source told Fox News Digital.

Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was taken into custody by local police and the FBI at 3 a.m. in Scranton, Pennsylvania, the law enforcement source said Friday.

Kohberger was being held for extradition in Monroe County Court for first-degree murder issued by the Moscow Police Department and the Latah County Prosecutor's Office in connection to the slayings of Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Madison Mogen, 21.

The suspect is a graduate student at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, according to the college's website. Pullman is a 15-minute drive from the rental home where the four students were stabbed to death.

A white Hyundai Elantra was towed from the home where the suspect was arrested, law enforcement officials told NBC News.

The mysterious killings initially baffled investigators and left the small college town of 25,000 deeply shaken.

The four students were each stabbed multiple times in the torso and were likely ambushed in their sleep with a large fix-bladed knife between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., according to the coroner and police.

Two surviving female roommates, who lived on the basement level, appeared to have slept through the gruesome attack.

Shortly before noon, the roommates summoned friends to the house because they believed one of the victims on the second-floor had passed out, authorities said.

Police responded to a 911 call reporting an unconscious person at 11:58 a.m. that originated from one of the surviving roommates' phones. The responding officers found the four butchered victims on the second and third floors.

The Moscow Police Department released a detailed timeline of the victims' movements in the hours before and after the massacre.

Goncalves and Mogen went to a bar downtown, the Corner Club, before ordering food from the Grub Truck at around 1:40 a.m.

The women used a "third-party" driver and were home by 1:56 a.m., according to police.

Kernodle and her boyfriend, Chapin, went to a party at the Sigma Chi house on campus and returned to the King Road home at 1:45 a.m.

The Moscow Police Department, which is working with the FBI and the Idaho State Police, has said that the attacks were "targeted."

Investigators have focused on tracking down the occupants of a 2011 to 2013 white Hyundai Elantra that was spotted near the home at the time of the murders.

Chapin was a freshman from Mount Vernon, Washington, and a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. He was studying recreation, sport and tourism management, according to the school.

Mogen was a senior from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, studying marketing and a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, according to the university.

Police have named the four victims of an apparent quadruple homicide at the University of Idaho as Maddie Mogen, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Goncalves.

If they can prove he is the killer send him straight to ole sparky or introduce him to the death needle . Last resort firing squad . You are not going to turn him around , law abiding society has no use for him .

Good work by the police and all involved . Some were barking to the press it was taking too long . Ok shut your mouth and you go solve it Einstein 😡 . It's not an app on your phone that provides instant everything. It takes hard work and dedication . I can't imagine what all the parents went through and live with every day .

[craigster59]

There's been rumor going around that he had a female accomplice. It will be interesting to hear what is said at the news conference. they felt there was no way he could have murdered all four by himself.

I'm sure they wanted to make sure everything was covered before making the arrest. I think they also were having trouble locating him.

Wonder what the motive was?

Note what he says here

Friday's sensational arrest is the first major break in the case - with Kohberger asking if 'anyone else was arrested' when he was taken into custody.

I’ve been wondering the same thing. Supposedly targeted. Hopefully some closure to this tragedy.

[jamesnmlaw]

A PhD student in criminology, per Daily Mail, with interest in intent and motive of killers. Sure stepped over the line. Sick puppy.

[Bill Douglas]

It shows they always (just about always) get the killer if they try hard enough.

[javadog]

I watched the press conference, didn’t learn much. We won’t likely learn much of anything until he’s extradited to Idaho, makes a court appearance and they unseal the affidavit for the arrest.

[KFC911]

I was hoping this wouldn't just fade away. If he's truly the guilty one .... fry him the next day.

Sicko POS...

[Rick Lee]

This kind of reminds me of the DeFeo murders. It'd just be impossible to not wake up the whole house during the first murder unless there were some help doing the work at the same time.

[Steve Carlton]

A friend of mine said the suspect had posted some horrific tweets, but I don't see anything with a casual search. Maybe she's mistaken and it was just chatter about him? Does anybody see any tweets?

[LWJ]

I have a college age son. He says he knows people who knew the victims. The whole campus is traumatized.

Glad we move a little forward on closure.

[Cajundaddy]

Such a strange story. The suspect posted a Reddit survey 6 months prior asking for those who committed a violent crime to participate in a research study. "How did you decide to commit the crime? Did you plan this in advance? How did you feel about it afterwards? How did you exit the crime scene?" These were some of his questions.

My gut suggests this guy is a psychopath and thought he was much smarter than the cops. Unknown if he knew these victims but it sounds like he planned it extensively and was playing a deadly game of murder. He fully expected it to go unsolved. If he is indeed the killer, I hope they nail him.

Congratulations to all the LEO’s working on this tragedy.

[VINMAN]

If he did it, No jail time.

Stick him in a room with the fathers and some axe handles.

Gen pop when he hits the Idaho jail.

Absolutely. I was especially pleased with this news given there was little publicly reported progress.

[Arizona_928]

So much hypocrisy on this. The parents complained the police weren't doing enough and yet they and the g-men get it done.

The suspect is a PhD candidate studying criminal justice. .
