<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/los-angeles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles</a> Unified School District students can soon carry Narcan nasal spray at school in case of an opioid overdose, officials announced.
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho reportedly told school board members Tuesday in a message that an updated policy from the district will allow students to carry the medication at a time when drug cartels are smuggling deadly fentanyl across the southern border into the United States.
Narcan “cannot be used to get high, is not addictive and does not have any effect on a person if there are no opioids in their body,” Carvalho wrote to board members, The Los Angeles Times <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-02-01/l-a-students-will-be-able-to-carry-narcan-in-schools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Carvalho added that the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health “supports a clarification” in L.A. Unified policy “that would allow students to be able to carry Narcan in schools,” adding that officials would reissue an updated policy bulletin soon.
The existing district policy on administering Narcan that officials issued last year reads that the medication “must be kept at the school in a secure location accessible to designated school personnel.”
The Times reported that school board member Nick Melvoin supports the policy update.
“Narcan has the power to save lives and I’ve been working to expand its access to everyone in our school communities, including students themselves,” Melvoin said. “But the increased use of Narcan as a life-saving measure underscores the drug crisis that’s being brought to our schools.”
“We must do more to address the root causes of this crisis and that starts with education and more support for our youth,” he added.
Last year, a <a href="https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-11-29/fentanyl-deaths-in-l-a-county-soared-1-280-between-2016-and-2021-report-finds" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> showed 92% of teens who died from drug overdoses in 2021 tested positive for fentanyl in Los Angeles County, with 31 directly related to the deadly opioid.
The Drug Enforcement Administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dea-seized-enough-fentanyl-in-2022-to-kill-every-single-american-and-then-some" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last December that the agency seized enough fentanyl in 2022 to kill every single American citizen.
Officials said the DEA had seized some 50.6 million fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl, along with more than 10,000 pounds of fentanyl powder, with two weeks left in the calendar year 2022.
That amounts to more than 379 million lethal doses of fentanyl last year, more than enough to kill all 333 million people in the United States.
Los Angeles Unified announced last September that after student overdoses, schools would be stocked with naloxone, which medical professionals assert the supply of could make a difference in teen deaths.
District officials also said staff has been receiving training to administer the nasal spray.
Online and in-person substance abuse workshops and counseling will be offered to students and families starting in February and March, the Times reported.
“Through our existing initiatives, we will educate students and families about the safety and effectiveness of Narcan including the identification signs of an opioid overdose and the importance of alerting medical professionals when Narcan is used,” Carvalho wrote. “We remain committed to expanding access, education and training for this life-saving emergency medication.”

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.

A racially charged controversy at a California college that prompted one trustee to threaten to take conservative faculty &#8220;to the slaughterhouse&#8221; appears to be based on false claims, according to a Daily Wire investigation.
John Corkins, vice president of the Kern Community College District (KCCD) Board of Trustees, leveled the threat at a December 13, 2022 meeting after college activists accused conservative faculty of racism and making them feel unsafe. Audio obtained by The Daily Wire, however, appears to show that the alleged racist comments were never made, and that activists claiming they felt unsafe were actually treated with respect.
The racist remarks allegedly occurred, ironically, during an October 11 diversity committee meeting, and centered around claims made by students who attended the meeting in support of professor Paula Parks, who obtained her doctorate in philosophy at Capella University and runs Bakersfield’s Umoja ASTEP program, described on <a href="https://www.bakersfieldcollege.edu/student/aai/umoja" target="_blank" rel="noopener">its website</a> as “a program that integrates academics, support services and African-American culture.”
After that meeting, Parks’ students began publicly claiming that their mentor was smeared by Matthew Garrett, who has a doctorate in American history from Arizona State University and teaches history and ethnic studies at Bakersfield. One student, Jordyn Davis, submitted <a href="https://committees.kccd.edu/sites/committees.kccd.edu/files/PublicComments-JordynDavis-19oct22%20.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a written comment</a> to Bakersfield’s academic senate with an alleged direct quote of Garrett saying “Dr. Parks’ way of teaching is not…” and saying this made her feel “a mixture of confusion and concern.”
In <a href="https://youtube.com/watch?v=ftRes8eeQWs&amp;si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE&amp;t=1458" target="_blank" rel="noopener">additional comments</a> to the KCCD Board of Trustees in December, Davis claimed that Garrett “went on to insult Dr. Parks,” which she insisted “felt very personal and came from a place of hate.” In both instances, Davis began her remarks by saying Garrett “insisted” that a survey purporting to show students of color experienced “racial stress,” “race-based physical aggression” and “microaggressions” was incorrect.
Audio of the October 11 meeting, in which Garrett was alleged to have made the comments, shows that Garrett did ask whether the underlying survey was valid and suggested doing another survey, since the original was conducted during the pandemic when students weren’t on campus. He also suggested at the beginning of his comments that he was “concerned about repeated appeals to popularity as evidence of truth” and indicated toward Andrea Thorson, Bakersfield’s dean of instruction, that she teaches in her class that this is bad logic. But he did not mention Parks during his remarks.
&#8220;Call me old fashioned but I believe in truth and evidence-based reasoning,&#8221; Garrett told The Daily Wire. &#8220;In an age of emotional incontinence we need to remember that while feelings do matter they cannot displace facts.&#8221;
Garrett <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-college-professor-completely-fabricated-claims-racism-may-cost-him-his-job" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Fox News earlier this week that the “completely fabricated” claims of racism could get him fired. Garrett added that since the meeting from which the allegations arose, he had received a notice from the administration claiming he had caused “real harm” to students and was being removed from the diversity committee.
Two other students also submitted comments to the academic senate. One claimed she felt “very uncomfortable” after walking into the room and seeing “a few of the faculty’s faces.” She also claimed that she “felt” that if she were to take those professors’ classes, she “would fail in the classes because of the color of my skin.”
Another accusation centered around comments made by Ximena Da Silva Tavares, a research assistant who received her doctor of philosophy from Caltech. Parks read an accusation from a student at the December board meeting who claimed Da Silva Tavares said during the October meeting that racism doesn’t exist. Da Silva Tavares brought up her own concerns about how the survey showing students of color were the victims of racism on campus was collected and whether there really was an issue of racism on campus. She ended her remarks by saying she and other professors “question the solutions of the problems,” and “question even the problems that you’re saying that we have.”
Da Silva Tavares did not respond to a Daily Wire request for comment.
Another student who submitted comments focused on a question asked by one of the professors at the meeting, Catherine Jones, who asked Garrett when the students entered the room, “Why the f*** are they here?”
Jones admitted to making the comment in an academic senate meeting in October, saying she was reacting to what was, in her view, Parks’ use of students as pawns.
When asked about the allegations against Garrett and other members of the diversity committee, Parks spoke about the &#8220;trauma&#8221; her students endured at the meeting.
&#8220;When I take students to a campus committee meeting, I want them to be positively educated about how an educational institution works, not traumatized and questioning whether they want to enter the profession,&#8221; Parks said.
Parks was then asked how her students were &#8220;traumatized.&#8221; She didn&#8217;t respond.
The students and Parks left just 40 minutes into the diversity meeting, after a proposal from Parks creating a new diversity task force was approved.
It was these accusations that led KCCD Board of Trustees vice president Corkins to discuss taking the conservative professors “to the slaughterhouse.”
&#8220;I think there&#8217;s a segment&#8221; Corkins said, referring to people at Bakersfield College, adding that it was only &#8220;5 percent that we have to continue to cull.&#8221;
&#8220;Got &#8217;em in my livestock operation, and that&#8217;s why we put a rope on some of &#8217;em and take &#8217;em to the slaughterhouse,&#8221; Corkins added, according to <a href="https://justthenews.com/nation/free-speech/california-college-trustee-wants-cull-conservative-faculty-take-em" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reporting</a> from Just The News. &#8220;Just bothers me when the bad actors are paid staff and they&#8217;re faculty,&#8221; who are &#8220;hard to get rid of.&#8221;
Corkins has since apologized for his remarks, <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/trustee-apologies-for-saying-faculty-who-challenge-dei-should-be-taken-to-slaughterhouse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The College Fix reported</a>, saying his “intent was to emphasize that the individuals who spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting have my full support.”
The allegations of racism were just the latest in an attempt by Bakersfield to get rid of conservative professors, who run a think tank “dedicated to the free speech, open inquiry, critical thinking to advance American ideals within the broader Western tradition of meritocracy, individual agency, civic virtue, liberty of conscience and free markets” called the Renegade Institute for Liberty, <a href="https://www.bakersfieldcollege.edu/renegade-institute-for-liberty" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to their website</a>. As Just The News reported, KCCD general counsel Christopher Hine accused Garrett and his fellow history professor and Renegade Institute colleague Erin Miller of making defamatory statements about the Social Justice Institute (SJI), a rival think tank at Bakersfield. The allegedly defamatory statements related to SJI’s spending, which Garrett and Miller had criticized as politicized. Hine claimed that Garrett and Miller had alleged that SJI had misused grant money.
In response, Garrett and Miller filed a First Amendment retaliation lawsuit against Hine and the KCCD chancellor at the time back in 2021. They filed an amended complaint in the summer of 2022, swapping in the new chancellor and KCCD vice president. Garrett had previously accused the KCCD vice president of sharing confidential files with Garrett’s critics and attempting to block his promotion. A settlement conference in the matter was held on December 5, but a settlement has not been reached, Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-college-professor-completely-fabricated-claims-racism-may-cost-him-his-job" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
Things really began escalating during the 2021-2022 academic year, when four conservative- or libertarian-leaning professors joined Bakersfield’s diversity committee. Even before the conservatives joined, the diversity committee had members <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSeMaR0F9bQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">previously accusing each other of racism</a>. More conservatives joined the committee during the 2022-2023 academic year, now comprising more than half of the faculty seats on the committee, according to a source familiar with the matter who wished to remain anonymous for fear of retaliation.
Parks then <a href="https://youtu.be/Sw2eq6PmFcU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">proposed</a> creating a new task force that omitted conservative members. It was that proposal that was approved the night that Parks and her students alleged racist comments had been made.
Bakersfield College did not respond to a Daily Wire request for comment.

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.”
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, where the suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, was pursuing his Ph.D.
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 victims who were killed in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13.
Police seized a “nitrite-type black glove,” three possible hairs, 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 of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21.
The suspect has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. The suspect appeared in court and was ordered held without bail, with his next court date scheduled for June 26. Prior to the hearing, his public defender, Ann Taylor, filed motions requesting “Any written or recorded statements by a co-defendant, and the substance of any relevant oral statement made by a co-defendant whether before or after arrest in response to interrogation by any person known by the co-defendant to be a peace officer or agent of the prosecuting attorney, or which are otherwise relevant to the offense charged.”
The suspect previously asked members of law enforcement if they had arrested another individual in connection with the crime, Inside Edition <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/bryan-kohberger-co-defendant-accomplice-idaho-murders?fbclid=IwAR2FthXZwbpJYVVqYnVPjoDydHAV_3ftHdnrAYmWQ655A4M6UUU8VLiD4yw">reported</a>.
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.”
The last request could pertain to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-murder-suspect-appears-in-court-plans-to-challenge-the-evidence-against-him">a section</a> of the probable cause affidavit, which stated that one of the surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen, saw a man leaving the house around the time of the murders. 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 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.

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.

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>.

Idaho Murder Victim Had Moved Out Of House Before Slayings, Was Just Visiting For Weekend

An attorney representing the man suspected of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/homicide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killing</a> four University of Idaho <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/students" target="_blank" rel="noopener">students</a> in November has filed some unusual requests in the case, including documents requesting information related to an unnamed “co-defendant.”
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. On Thursday, he was ordered held without bail, with his next court date scheduled for June 26.
This week, his public defender, Ann Taylor, filed motions requesting &#8220;Any written or recorded statements by a co-defendant, and the substance of any relevant oral statement made by a co-defendant whether before or after arrest in response to interrogation by any person known by the co-defendant to be a peace officer or agent of the prosecuting attorney, or which are otherwise relevant to the offense charged.&#8221;
The suspect previously asked members of law enforcement if they had arrested another individual in connection with the crime, Inside Edition <a href="https://www.insideedition.com/bryan-kohberger-co-defendant-accomplice-idaho-murders?fbclid=IwAR2FthXZwbpJYVVqYnVPjoDydHAV_3ftHdnrAYmWQ655A4M6UUU8VLiD4yw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
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.&#8221;
The last request could pertain to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/idaho-murder-suspect-appears-in-court-plans-to-challenge-the-evidence-against-him" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a section</a> of the probable cause affidavit, which stated that one of the surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen, saw a man leaving the house around the time of the murders. 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 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.

Suspected Idaho Killer Requests Documents Related To ‘Co-Defendant,’ Who Has Never Been Mentioned By Police

Suspected Idaho Killer Requests Documents Related To 'Co-Defendant,' Who Has Never Been Mentioned By Police

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> 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 that 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 pursues the death penalty against him.

While in prison, the suspect is <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jail-trying-to-accommodate-accused-idaho-killers-vegan-diet-but-wont-buy-new-pots-and-pans">reportedly</a> having his vegan diet accommodated.

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 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. Court records explaining how he came to be arrested were released last week.
Those records showed that 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.

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.

DNA found on a knife sheath, as well as video surveillance and cell phone records, led <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/police">police</a> to 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>, newly released court documents show.
Police on Thursday released the probable cause affidavit used to arrest the suspect, who is not being named by The Daily Wire. Cpl. Brett Payne of the Moscow Police Department in Moscow, Idaho, arrived at the off-campus residence where Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were found murdered on November 13, 2022. 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 probable cause affidavit revealed 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 that she was awoken at around 4:00 a.m. by what she thought was Goncalves playing with her dog upstairs. Not long after, Mortensen heard someone say, “there’s someone here.” Mortensen opened her door but didn’t see anything, so she went back in her room. She opened her door a second time and heard a male voice say, “it’s ok, I’m going to help you,” or something similar.
A security camera located on a property less than 50 feet from Kernodle’s bedroom picked up sounds of voices or a whimper followed by a thud at around 4:17 a.m. on November 13. A dog could also be heard.
Mortensen told police she opened her door a third time and 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 also located a latent shoe print in the home.
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 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.
Cell records dating back to June 2022 showed the suspect’s phone was in the crime scene area on at least 12 occasions before the murders – all but one in the late evening or early morning hours.
The suspect was arrested on December 30 and extradited to Idaho, where he awaits trial.

Here’s How Police Captured The Man Suspected Of Killing Four University Of Idaho Students

Police Used DNA, Cell Records To Capture Suspected University Of Idaho Killer

Pennsylvania

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/fbi">FBI</a> surveillance team was tracking 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> while the suspect and his father were driving cross-country to Albrightsville, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>, and reportedly asked <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/indiana">Indiana</a> police to pull him over.
The team requested video images of the suspect, who will not be named per Daily Wire policy, as well as his hands, a law enforcement official <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/us/idaho-murders-fbi-directed-indiana-police-pull-over-bryan-kohberger-seeking-video-images-hands?fbclid=IwAR3_gkjNXXcNfRT-91B2H13DXYemjdOLsiDNZqyOvd_NOGdj31J-_uCQpis">told</a> Fox News. The source said that investigators were still building their case against the suspect when he was pulled over in Indiana on December 15 as he and his father drove from Washington to Pennsylvania.
Bodycam footage released Wednesday showed a Hancock County Sheriff’s deputy pulling the suspect over while 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. It is unclear whether this deputy was asked to provide images of the suspect to the FBI.
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?”
