Newly released footage appears to show a vehicle similar to the one linked to Bryan Kohberger, accused of the murders of four University of Idaho students.
On November 13, 2022, surveillance cameras captured a white Hyundai Elantra circling a student’s house in Moscow multiple times. Reports, including one from NBC’s “Dateline,” highlight that this Elantra returned to the vicinity shortly after and then left the area.
The video suggests that the vehicle was seen near the residence just 13 minutes before an incident occurred.
According to “Dateline,” this Hyundai resembles the vehicle associated with the murders, specifically noting it might be a 2011-2013 model, though later assessments suggest it could be a 2016 model as well.
Kohberger drives a 2015 white Hyundai Elantra.
He was apprehended by Indiana police on December 15, 2022, while traveling with his father.
The alleged stabbings took place at an off-campus location. Kohberger has pleaded not guilty and could face a death sentence if convicted; his trial is set for August.
Prosecutors have collected further evidence, including mobile phone tower data and unsettling internet searches purportedly detailing Kohberger’s actions around the time of the murders.
Experts indicated that Kohberger’s mobile device connected to cellular signals near the student rental property over 23 times within a four-month period. One of these connections occurred just six days prior to the incident, as per the obtained mobile data.
Kohberger’s internet search history suggests troubling queries around the time, including those related to notorious serial killers and certain explicit terms.
The case involves the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger faces charges of four counts of murder and one count of robbery.
Witnesses, including the two surviving roommates, are slated to testify at the trial.
This trial is scheduled to begin on August 11 before Judge Stephen Hippler in Ada County.
At 30, Kohberger was pursuing a PhD at Washington State University, located only about ten miles from the crime scene.
