Bodycam footage from Nov. 13, 2022, shows police arriving at an off-campus Moscow, Idaho, residence and finding four people stabbed to death while surviving roommates and witnesses processed shock outside. Officers drew guns, swept the house to ensure no perpetrator remained, counted bodies, cordoned off the scene with yellow tape, and witnessed paramedics being turned away. A surviving roommate described hearing screams, seeing a masked man in black, and hearing a man say he would help. Police later arrested Bryan Kohberger, identified via DNA on a knife sheath; Kohberger pleaded guilty and received consecutive life terms without parole.

And I called her nameI jumped up and locked my door 'cause I was so scared. And then I heard someone in the bathroom and I heard her crying. And I heard some guy say, You're gonna be OK, I'm gonna help you.
Nearly seven weeks after the murders of college students Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21; police arrested Bryan Kohberger at his parents' home in Pennsylvania. Police identified Kohberger from DNA on a knife sheath that was left at the scene.
