The 28-year-old man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> met with the Pullman, Washington, police chief about a job seven months before the quadruple homicides took place.
Recently released emails show that the suspect, who will not be named due to Daily Wire policy, had an online meeting with Gary Jenkins, the chief of police at the Pullman Police Department, about a three-year Graduate Research Assistantship. The job was one of two offered through Washington State University, where the suspect was pursuing his graduate degree.
“It was a great pleasure to meet with you today and share my thoughts and excitement regarding the research assistantship for public safety,” the suspect wrote to Jenkins on April 12, 2022, just a few hours after the two met about the job, <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/bryan-kohberger-interview-police-chief-idaho-murders?fbclid=IwAR325UlFHEL0QSuRJqKgMSGjYbORxHXW-8G6-y0foyWlpr7WHAo3N_VbOpM">according to Inside Edition</a>.
“Great to meet and talk to you as well,” Jenkins responded.
It is unclear whether the suspect was hired for the job, but the emails indicated he was one of four candidates who applied, The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/article/university-idaho-students-killed-moscow.html#:~:text=%E2%80%9CIt%20was%20a%20great%20pleasure%20to%20meet%20with,public%20records%20request%20by%20The%20New%20York%20Times.">reported</a>.
Those hired were expected to “coordinate activities with their respective police department,” including designing databases, analyzing data, and writing reports and grants, among other duties.
The suspect is accused of killing Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, as they slept in their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho, in the early morning hours of November 13.
The suspect was pursuing a Ph.D. in criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University and worked as a teacher’s assistant, and was reportedly a tough grader.
The suspect previously studied psychology at DeSales University in Pennsylvania. While at DeSales, the suspect reportedly worked as a student investigator for a survey exploring motives behind crimes. One question in the survey reportedly asked, “Why did you choose that victim or target over others?” Another asked, “After committing the crime, what were you thinking and feeling?”
A state court in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/washington">Washington</a> on Wednesday unsealed the search warrants used to collect items from the suspect’s home and office at Washington State University’s department of criminal justice and criminology.
Police found nothing at the suspect’s office, the filings show, but hair samples and other evidence were collected from his apartment.
The search warrants show police were looking for blood, DNA, shoes with a particular pattern on the soles, and any information pertaining to the students who were killed on November 13.
Police seized a “nitrite-type black glove,” several possible hair strands, one possible animal hair strand, a computer tower, a “dark red spot,” two cuttings from an uncased pillow containing a “reddish/brown stain,” along with other items from the suspect’s apartment. While the warrant mentioned the items were removed, it did not explain what connection the items may have to the murders.

The 28-year-old man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> reportedly followed the three female victims on Instagram.
None of the victims followed the suspect back, People Magazine <a href="https://people.com/crime/bryan-kohberger-followed-idaho-victims-instagram/">reported</a>, but the outlet was able to review his Instagram account before it was deleted. The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prior-contact-between-accused-idaho-killer-and-one-of-the-victims-is-revealed-report">reported</a> that the suspect allegedly made contact with one of the female victims in late October, several weeks before Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were killed on November 13.
“He slid into one of the girls’ DMs several times but she didn’t respond,” an investigator familiar with the case told People over the weekend. “Basically, it was just him saying, ‘Hey, how are you?’ But he did it again and again.”

Taylor also filed 17 other requests for discovery, including drug tests related to the case, “payments, promises of leniency, preferential treatment or other inducements or threats made to prospective witnesses,” disclosures related to electronic surveillance, and a “Disclosure of whether a defendant, or any other person, was identified by lineup, show up, photo spread or similar identification proceeding relating to the offense charged, and production of any pictures utilized or resulting therefrom and the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all identifying witnesses.”

She said the man was 5’10” or taller, athletically built but not muscular, with bushy eyebrows. She said the man walked past her as she stood in a “frozen shock phase.” She said he walked out of the house, and she locked herself in her room.
Police matched the suspect to a cell phone and white Hyundai Elantra that were traced to the area of the crime on the date it occurred. They also learned that the suspect registered his vehicle in Washington and received Washington plates on November 18 – five days after the murders.

Search Warrants For Accused Idaho Killer’s Apartment, Office Unsealed

Washington

The 28-year-old man accused of murdering four University of Idaho students late last year allegedly made contact with one of the victims on social media before the killings.
The suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary following the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theres-someone-here-horrifying-details-emerge-of-what-happened-during-slaughter-of-4-idaho-students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killings</a> of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, on November 13.
An investigator familiar with the case told People Magazine that the killer reached out to one of the girls on Instagram in late October but she did not respond, which led to a flood of messages.

Prior Contact Between Accused Idaho Killer And One Of The Victims Is Revealed: Report

In a tragic reveal over the weekend, the parents of University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">murder</a> victim Kaylee Goncalves said their daughter had already moved out of the house where she and three other students were killed and had been only visiting for the weekend.
Steve and Kristi Goncalves <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/parents-murdered-idaho-student-kaylee-goncalves-say-was-preparing-move-rcna65727">told</a> Dateline that their daughter no longer resided in the home where she, along with her best friend Madison Mogen, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; and Xana Kernodle, 20, were all murdered in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022. The Goncalves said their daughter was preparing to graduate and move to Austin, Texas, where she had accepted a job with an IT firm. That weekend, however, Kaylee returned to the house to visit Mogen.
“These girls were best friends since sixth grade, like inseparable,” Kristi Goncalves said on Dateline.
Kristi added that the girls “were true, ultimate best friends” and “Maddie had been a huge part of our life.”
Goncalves had just purchased a Range Rover and had wanted to show it off to Mogen and attend a party with her best friend.
“That was the last time that I saw Kaylee,” Kristi told Dateline.
The man suspected of killing the four students appeared in court again on Thursday, where he waived his right to a speedy preliminary hearing and vowed through his attorney to challenge the evidence against him.
The 28-year-old suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He was ordered held without bail for the foreseeable future, with his next court date scheduled for June 26.
Latah County Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall announced at the hearing that there would be “no bail at this point in time pending further proceedings.” She also asked the suspect if he understood the charges against him and that waiving his right to a speedy preliminary hearing meant he couldn’t challenge the delay at a future date.
The reason for the delay is so his attorneys can gather evidence to challenge the charges against him, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-murders-suspect-bryan-kohberger-will-challenge-evidence-lawyer-says">reported</a>.
The suspect still has not entered a plea, waiting to see whether the state of Idaho will pursue the death penalty against him. Statements from his attorneys, however, indicate he is likely to plead not guilty, Law &amp; Crime <a href="https://lawandcrime.com/live-trials/idaho-four/idaho-quadruple-murder-suspect-bryan-kohberger-to-remain-in-custody-without-bail-after-court-appearance/">reported</a>.
Latah County Sheriff Richard Skiles <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/idaho-college-killings/bryan-kohberger-to-appear-in-idaho-court-for-first-time/">told</a> NewsNation that he hadn’t heard anything out of the ordinary about the suspect’s behavior in jail. He did say, however, that jail officials are trying to accommodate the suspect’s vegan diet, “but we are not going to buy new pots and pans or anything like that.”

Idaho Murder Suspect Appears In Court, Plans To Challenge The Evidence Against Him

The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho">Idaho</a> jail where the man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> is being held is trying to accommodate his vegan diet requirements.
Latah County Sheriff Richard Skiles <a href="https://www.newsnationnow.com/crime/idaho-college-killings/bryan-kohberger-to-appear-in-idaho-court-for-first-time/">told</a> NewsNation that he hasn’t heard of anything out of the ordinary when it comes to the suspect’s behavior in jail. He did say, however, that jail officials are trying to accommodate the suspect’s vegan diet, “but we are not going to buy new pots and pans or anything like that.”
The 28-year-old suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, was flown from Pennsylvania to Idaho and arrived in Moscow, where the University of Idaho is located, Wednesday evening. Court records explaining how he came to be arrested for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were released Thursday morning.
While being led through the crime scene, Payne was shown a leather knife sheath lying on the bed next to Mogen’s body. The sheath contained the words “Ka-Bar” and “USMC” stamped on it, as well as the U.S. Marine Corps insignia.
The court documents <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/heres-how-police-captured-the-man-suspected-of-killing-four-university-of-idaho-students">revealed</a> that the Idaho State Lab was able to locate a single source of male DNA on the button snap of the knife sheath. On December 27, police in Pennsylvania confiscated trash from the suspect’s parents’ home in Albrightsville and obtained a DNA profile. The next day, the Idaho State Lab informed police that the DNA sample from the sheath, and the sample from the trash, contained DNA belonging to the suspect’s father.
One of the surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen, told police she opened her door multiple times after hearing noises upstairs, and on the third time, she saw a man wearing black clothing and a mask over his nose and mouth walking toward her. She said the man was 5’10” or taller, athletically built but not muscular, with bushy eyebrows. She said the man walked past her as she stood in a “frozen shock phase.” She said he walked out of the house, and she locked herself in her room.
Police were able to narrow the timeframe of the crime to between 4:00 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. and reviewed video footage taken in the area in the time before and after the murders are believed to have occurred. The footage showed a white Hyundai Elantra without a front license plate (front license plates are required in Washington and Idaho, but not in Pennsylvania, where the car was registered) in the area between 3:29 a.m. and 4:20 a.m. The vehicle can be seen passing the off-campus residence three times before coming back a fourth time around 4:04 a.m. and attempting to turn around on the road. The vehicle was next seen around 4:20 a.m. traveling away from the direction of the off-campus residence at high speed heading in the direction of a road that eventually leads to Pullman, Washington, where the suspect attended Washington State University (WSU).
Video footage from the WSU campus showed a white Hyundai Elantra leaving the area and heading toward Moscow at around 2:53 a.m. This vehicle was again observed on five cameras in Pullman and the WSU campus at around 5:25 a.m.
Police pulled records for white Hyundai Elantras registered at WSU on November 29 – just over two weeks after the murders were committed – and found one belonging to the man who was eventually arrested for the crime. Police reviewed the owner’s Washington state driver’s license and determined he matched the physical description of the suspect provided by one of the surviving roommates.
Police matched the suspect to the vehicle through two previous traffic stops in the months before the murders. They also learned that the suspect registered his vehicle in Washington and received Washington plates on November 18 – five days after the murders.
A license plate scanner observed the suspect’s sedan on December 13 in Loma, Colorado. On December 15, the vehicle was stopped by law enforcement in Indiana. By December 16, the vehicle was in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, the suspect’s hometown, where he was eventually apprehended.
Police also reviewed cell phone data to show the suspect’s phone did not ping any cellular towers near the crime scene during the relevant timeframe, but an expanded examination of cell phone data showed the phone stopped reporting data to the network at around 2:47 a.m. At that time, the white Elantra was leaving Pullman and heading toward Moscow. The phone next pinged at 4:48 a.m. in an area south of Moscow, heading back to Pullman. Cell records also showed that the suspect left his home in Pullman around 9:00 a.m. on November 13 and traveled back to Moscow.
This information and more led police to arrest the suspect on December 30.

The Hancock County Sheriff’s Office <a href="https://www.kxly.com/new-video-moscow-murder-suspect-pulled-over-at-traffic-stop-in-indiana/?fbclid=IwAR0HV6xwqyMaPE9IN2w-WZKCV0tce-5432Wz3XwRxG-OE_hW32HDn50xEU8">told</a> KXLY that a deputy pulled over the suspect, who is not being named per Daily Wire policy, around 10:45 a.m. on December 15, about a month after Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21 were murdered inside an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. The suspect was driving a white Hyundai Elantra — the same make, model, and color of a car that Moscow police have been searching for over the past few weeks.
The sheriff’s office reportedly pulled over the vehicle for following too closely behind another vehicle. The suspect and his father mentioned they had been pulled over by another officer for the same reason and had received a ticket warning, so the officer in the bodycam footage did not take further action. The officer did, however, explain how much space should be between vehicles at certain speeds.
The officer and the suspect’s father chatted about the long drive – from Washington to Pennsylvania – before the officer returned to his vehicle.
Video of the incident can be found <a href="https://www.kxly.com/new-video-moscow-murder-suspect-pulled-over-at-traffic-stop-in-indiana/?fbclid=IwAR0HV6xwqyMaPE9IN2w-WZKCV0tce-5432Wz3XwRxG-OE_hW32HDn50xEU8">here</a>.
The sheriff’s office said they had no information about a suspect wanted for the Idaho murders at the time the traffic stops occurred. The white Hyundai has since been seized by police in Pennsylvania, where the suspect was apprehended on December 29.
The suspect, who is pursuing a Ph.D. in criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, worked as a teacher’s assistant and was reportedly a tough grader. That changed in the weeks after the murders, one former student <a href="https://archive.org/details/CNNW_20230102_130000_CNN_This_Morning">told</a> CNN on Monday.
“Definitely around then, he started grading everybody just 100s. Pretty much if you turned something in, you were getting high marks. He stopped leaving notes. He seemed preoccupied,” the student said. “The couple times that he did come after, or around that time period, he had a little more facial hair, stubble, less well-kept. He was a little quieter.”
The suspect previously studied psychology at DeSales University in Pennsylvania. While at DeSales, the suspect reportedly worked as a student investigator for a survey exploring motives behind crimes. One question in the survey reportedly asked, “Why did you choose that victim or target over others?” Another asked, “After committing the crime, what were you thinking and feeling?”
During a press conference Friday afternoon, Moscow Police Chief James Fry explained the heartache felt by the Moscow, Idaho, community following the murders.
“These murders have shaken our community, and no arrest will ever bring back these young students,” Fry said. “However, we do believe justice will be found through the criminal process.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police">Police</a> reportedly broke windows and doors as they executed a search warrant at the home belonging to the parents of the man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a>.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a> State Police Major Christopher Paris said during a Tuesday press conference that “force was used” in executing the search warrant at the parents&#8217; home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-murders-pa-police-say-force-was-used-when-search-warrant-was-executed-kohberger-home">reported</a>. The 28-year-old suspect, who is not being named per Daily Wire policy, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary with the intent to commit murder.
&#8220;There were multiple windows that were broken, I believe, to gain access, as well as multiple doors,&#8221; Paris said at the press conference.
Paris also said that the suspect’s parents were home at the time the search warrant was executed and that the search began on December 29 with about 50 “tactical assets” on scene.
The suspect signed an extradition document Tuesday afternoon and waived his right to challenge his arrest, Fox reported.
Police took the suspect into custody in Albrightsville, his hometown, after driving about 2,500 miles with his father just weeks after allegedly killing Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21.
The suspect’s attorney, Jason LaBar, <a href="https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/crime/local-moscow-murders-update-bryan-kohberger-could-be-extradited-to-idaho-by-tuesday-night/277-48c4eed9-1bbb-412b-9b5d-582485bfdca2">told</a> KTVB 7 that his client was pulled over twice in Indiana during the trip. In at least one of those stops, the suspect was driving.
“I don’t know whether they were speeding or not or if they were even issued a ticket,” LaBar said. “I just know that they were pulled over in Indiana almost back to back. I believe once for speeding and once for following too closely to a car in front of them.”

LaBar also told the outlet that he has been updating his client on what is being said about the suspect online.
&#8220;I am giving him updates. I spoke to [the suspect] this morning for an hour last night for 20 minutes, really updating him on some of the allegations that are coming out but mainly allegations that have nothing to do with the facts and evidence in the case but really the cross country trip,&#8221; LaBar told the outlet. &#8220;You know, just to clarify those types of facts as to why he ended up in Pennsylvania and whether or not he was in Pullman at the time of the acts of &#8230; the homicides.&#8221;

Idaho Murder Suspect Was Pulled Over Twice While Driving To Pennsylvania, Attorney Says

Police in Moscow, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/idaho">Idaho</a>, released additional details about the arrest of a man in Pennsylvania for the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide">murders</a> of four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students">students</a> in mid-November.
During a press conference Friday afternoon, Moscow Police Chief James Fry confirmed the arrest of a 28-year-old man, who was detained in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, some 2,400 miles east of where the murders occurred.
“These murders have shaken our community, and no arrest will ever bring back these young students,” Fry said. “However, we do believe justice will be found through the criminal process.”
Fry was followed by Bill Thompson, the Latah County prosecutor, who said the suspect has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder in addition to a count of felony burglary with intent to commit a murder. Because the suspect is in the process of being extradited from Pennsylvania to Idaho, the probable cause affidavit charging the suspect will not be released until he has appeared in an Idaho court, which may take some time.
“This is not the end of the investigation, this is a new beginning,” Thompson said, asking the public to continue sending information about the suspect and the crime.
When asked what piece of evidence or lead led to the suspect’s arrest, Fry said he could not answer at this time, as the information is part of the investigation and cannot be released until the suspect has appeared in an Idaho court. The police chief also stood behind the decision to keep information relating to the investigation out of the public eye.
Fry did say that police have not located the weapon but had located a Hyundai Elantra they had been seeking in connection to the crime.
The suspect, who is not being named per Daily Wire policy, is an Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, native, and a graduate student at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, less than 10 miles from Moscow. The suspect was pursuing his Ph.D in criminal justice and criminology, Heavy <a href="https://heavy.com/news/bryan-kohberger/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>, and had previously studied psychology at DeSales University in Pennsylvania. While at DeSales, the suspect reportedly worked as a student investigator for a survey exploring motives behind crimes. One question in the survey reportedly asked, “Why did you choose that victim or target over others?” Another asked, “After committing the crime, what were you thinking and feeling?”
On November 13, police responded to a call around noon at the off-campus residence where the murders occurred. There they found the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, all of whom had been stabbed multiple times.
Earlier on Friday, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/police-bringing-cleaning-crew-to-house-where-four-university-of-idaho-students-were-murdered">a cleaning crew</a> was supposed to clean up the residence where the murders occurred, but the cleaning was halted by a court order, Fry said at the press conference.
