Bryan Kohberger and the 2022 University of Idaho Murders

The Murders in Moscow, Idaho

In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, Bryan Christopher Kohberger entered a rented house at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, and murdered four University of Idaho students. The victims were Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. All four were killed with a large knife during a brief but exceptionally violent attack that shocked the university community and generated international attention. The three-story residence was located near the University of Idaho campus and was occupied by several young women. Ethan Chapin, who did not live at the house, was spending the night with his girlfriend, Xana Kernodle. Two other residents survived. Investigators later determined that the four murders occurred after 4:00 a.m., although the victims were not discovered and police were not summoned until shortly before noon.
