The killings of four University of Idaho students in mid-November at an off-campus residence stunned the small community of Moscow, Idaho, where investigators grappled with what the town's police chief would later describe as a "very complex" case.

The Pennsylvania man charged in the killing of four University of Idaho students was a doctoral student at nearby Washington State University studying in the criminal justice and criminology department. Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was booked into custody on an arrest warrant out of Moscow, Idaho, charging him with first-degree murder, court records show. He was listed as a Ph.D. student in the department of criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University (WSU), which is 10 miles west and just across the state line from the University of Idaho. Kohberger graduated from nearby DeSales University in 2020 with a degree in psychology and earned a master of arts in criminal justice from DeSales in the spring, DeSales University said in a statement Friday. At the time, the person identified himself a "student investigator" at DeSales University and was using a school-issued email address.

Dec 30 (Reuters) - A 25-year-old man was taken into custody in Pennsylvania on Friday in connection with the homicides of four University of Idaho students in November, NBC News reported, citing law enforcement sources. Local and state law enforcement along with university officials said they would hold a news conference at 1 p.m. local time about the case. Police in Moscow, Idaho, found the bodies of three female students and one male student inside an off-campus house on Nov. 13. The victims appeared to have been killed with a knife or some other "edged" weapon, police said at the time. The dead were identified as Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee GonCalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho.

Police investigating the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students are denying a professor's involvement in the unsolved case after a self-described internet sleuth and Tarot card reader posted accusations on TikTok claiming a connection. "At this time in the investigation, detectives do not believe the female associate professor and chair of the history department at the University of Idaho suing a TikTok user for defamation is involved in this crime," police in Moscow, Idaho, said Tuesday. In an attempt to clear her name, Scofield filed a federal lawsuit last week against Ashley Guillard, the Texas woman who posted accusations on TikTok that the professor planned the killings with another University of Idaho student. After a lawyer for Scofield sent a cease-and-desist letter to Guillard on Nov. 29, she kept posting what the suit calls defamatory videos. The Moscow Police Department said in a news release Tuesday that it would not comment on the litigation.

☆ Idaho professor sues TikToker over allegations about killing of 4 university students

The suit, filed Wednesday in Idaho District Court by history department chair Rebecca Scofield, also accused TikTok user Ashley Guillard of falsely alleging that the professor had planned the killings with another University of Idaho student. The lawsuit appears to be the latest example of what one expert called “dangerous” speculation surrounding the quadruple homicide in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13. According to the suit, Scofield, who began working at the university in 2016, never met the slain students, nor had they taken a class with her. “Professor Scofield has never met Guillard,” the suit says. Professor Scofield does know that she has been harmed by the false TikToks and false statements.”The suit adds that the allegations triggered significant emotional distress and damage to Scofield's reputation.

The police chief of Moscow, Idaho, on Wednesday defended his department's handling of the investigation into the killings of four university students and pushed back at the notion families are being "left in the dark." A spokesman for the Idaho State Police said a family liaison had been assigned since the beginning, "with each family wanting different levels of contact." Officers investigate a homicide at an apartment complex south of the University of Idaho campus on Nov. 13. The Goncalves family has been vocal about what they perceive as poor communication during the investigation. The spokesperson, Robbie Johnson, said the email was an example of a message aimed at keeping the Goncalves family informed.

"Investigators believe the occupant(s) of this vehicle may have critical information to share regarding this case," the release said. Authorities haven’t identified a suspect or found a murder weapon, thought to be a fixed-blade knife. A lawyer for Goncalves, Shanon Gray, faulted Moscow police for not having informed the family before they released the information. The spokesman, Robbie Johnson, said the email was an example of a message aimed at keeping the Goncalves family informed. Goncalves said Mabbutt described Kaylee's injuries in a phone call to the family, answered by her 17-year-old daughter.

Police arrived at the rental house in Moscow, Idaho, where four University of Idaho students had been fatally stabbed hours prior in their bedrooms, to find friends and neighbors gathered outside. The neighborhood was “very, very somber.”The small police force scrambled for an “all hands on deck” response, which Lanier said included calling the Idaho State Police for help to process the scene. “We get tips every day that are viable.”While a lack of information about the killer has caused anxiety, public officials are asking for patience. Rep. Brandon Mitchell, a Republican who represents Moscow in the Idaho State Legislature, said he tells constituents to have faith in the police and avoid being speculative. City officials, including members of the Moscow City Council, praised Fry after his Nov. 16 news conference.

“You have to sample them all and analyze them all to see if they belong to victims or a suspect. The Moscow killings occurred in a three-story, six-bedroom rented house, about a half-block from the University of Idaho campus. The apartment house in Moscow, Idaho, where four students were stabbed to death held an enormous amount of biological evidence, experts say. “So, who could have left that DNA evidence? Before getting answers about DNA, investigators seek clues in the location of blood.

Chapin had been staying overnight at the home when the four were fatally stabbed in the early morning of Nov. 13, authorities said. From top left, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle. Detectives are piecing together the final hours of the roommates' lives, with thousands of tips pouring in and requests for more videos from the neighborhood to aid in the investigation. Funke and Mortensen, identified by police as "two surviving roommates," are not believed to have been involved in the crime. Mortensen in her letter said she would never forget her three roommates nor Chapin, who she described as an older brother.

Police investigating the grisly killings of four University of Idaho students are walking back a prior statement, now saying it is not known if the residence or its occupants were "specifically targeted." Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were found fatally stabbed at an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, and the killings remain a mystery. On Wednesday, the Moscow Police Department said this was a “miscommunication.”“Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate,” police said. Flowers are left at a makeshift memorial honoring four slain University of Idaho students in Moscow, Idaho. Such unclear answers may have given whoever fatally stabbed the students more time to flee, law enforcement experts say.

People attending a vigil for the four University of Idaho students who were killed last month, hold up their phones during a moment of silence on Wednesday evening in Moscow, Idaho. University of Idaho students and others gathered Wednesday evening for candlelight vigils honoring four students who were stabbed to death, as questions about the killings continue to swirl. More than two weeks ago, Ethan Chapin , 20 years old, Xana Kernodle , 20, Kaylee Goncalves , 21, and Madison Mogen, 21, were fatally attacked at an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. Each of the victims was likely asleep, and stabbed multiple times with a fixed-blade knife, according to police and the coroner’s report.

Fighting back tears, parents of slain University of Idaho students shared moments of laughter and sorrow Wednesday as students and faculty members gathered for a vigil for the four lives lost. We’re going to figure this stuff out,” Steven Goncalves, Kaylee’s father, said at the ceremony at the university in Moscow, Idaho. The unsolved killings have put some students at the university, in a city of around 25,000, and the community on edge. "That’s the only thing that’s going to heal us. That’s the only thing that’s going to heal you."

Candles and flowers at a makeshift memorial honoring four slain University of Idaho students outside the Mad Greek restaurant in downtown Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 15. Now, the homicide in Moscow, Idaho, of the four University of Idaho students — friends Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; and Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20 — has become a fresh mystery for internet sleuths to speculate over. Officers investigate a homicide at an apartment complex south of the University of Idaho campus. Four people were found dead at a residence near the University of Idaho, police in the city of Moscow said. Jeremy Reagan, a University of Idaho law student who lives near the crime scene in Moscow, is all too familiar with being wrongly named.

Mixed messaging and unclear answers from police would have given whoever fatally stabbed four students in the Idaho college town of Moscow more time to flee, law enforcement experts say. It was two days after the slayings when the department said in a news release that it was "working closely" with the Idaho State Police and other state and federal agencies. The last homicide involving the University of Idaho was in 2011, when a professor fatally shot a graduate student he had been dating before taking his own life. "They have access to the Idaho State Police, which runs a branch of the crime lab in Coeur d'Alene, not far from Moscow," he said. "We know you want answers," Idaho State Police Director Kedrick Wills said at Sunday's news conference.

Police in Idaho dismissed rumors and ruled out multiple people who had contact with victims the night of a quadruple homicide, leaving witnesses and video as a main hope. On Sunday, chief of Moscow police James Fry asked the public for help solving the vicious stabbing deaths of four people just outside the University of Idaho campus Nov. 13. Police don't believe a person who was dialed seven times from the cellphone of Goncalves after she arrived home is involved in the attack, Fry said. The two roommates who were at home during the attack most likely slept through it, police indicated Saturday. "The identity of the 911 caller and the contents of the call have not been released," Fry said Sunday.

MOSCOW, Idaho — Four college students who were fatally stabbed last weekend were likely killed in their sleep and some had defensive wounds, authorities said Friday. Each of the victims was stabbed multiple times, the Moscow Police Department said in a statement, citing autopsies completed by Thursday by the Latah County coroner. There was no sign of sexual assault in the Sunday killings of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, the department said. Authorities did not receive a 911 call until 11:58 a.m., when someone reported an “unconscious person” at the home, authorities said. I mean, Just nothing.’”More than two-dozen local patrol officers and detectives are investigating the case with the help of 22 FBI investigators and 35 officers from the Idaho State Police, the Moscow Police Department release said.

MOSCOW, Idaho — With no one apprehended in the brutal slayings of four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home, it "certainly is possible" there may be more than one suspect, a local prosecutor said Thursday. The description of the attack frustrated families of the victims and University of Idaho students who said that without a suspect in police custody, they continued to feel unsafe. In addition, a livestream from a late-night food truck appears to have recorded two of the students ordering food early Sunday. The livestream was broadcast on the platform Twitch by Grub Wandering Kitchen, which owns the food truck. This still from video appears to show two Idaho victims at a food truck before the incident.

MOSCOW, Idaho — A livestream from a late-night food truck appears to have recorded two college students ordering food hours before authorities found them and two others fatally stabbed at an off-campus home, video obtained Wednesday by NBC News shows. The video appears to show the University of Idaho students ordering “mac of the week” and carbonara at the food truck amid a rush of customers early Sunday. The livestream was broadcast on the platform Twitch by Grub Wandering Kitchen, which owns the food truck. Joseph Woodall, who manages the truck, said they appear to have been there between 1:30 a.m. and 1:40 a.m.A video still appears to show two of the Idaho victims at a food truck before the incident. GrubTruckersWoodall described the downtown food truck as one of Moscow’s only late-night options for hospital workers and students going to house parties or bars.

MOSCOW, Idaho — The father of one of the four slain University of Idaho students found brutally stabbed in an off-campus home is urging law enforcement and the school to provide more information, saying their silence has only added to the family’s “agony” after three days with an assailant still at large. Still, with no known suspect or motive, students and members of the community are uncertain why police have suggested there is no immediate danger. "For Ethan and his three dear friends slain in Moscow, Idaho, and all of our families, I urge officials to speak the truth, share what they know, find the assailant, and protect the greater community." Candles and flowers are left at a makeshift memorial honoring four slain University of Idaho students in downtown Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 15, 2022. The University of Idaho canceled classes on Monday and was making additional security and counseling available this week.
