Overview

  • The video captures Deputy Darren Duke stopping Kohberger on Aug. 21, 2022, for driving 42 mph in a 35 mph zone on the Pullman-Moscow Highway.
  • Kohberger admitted to not wearing a seatbelt and was issued a $10 citation while the speeding warning was dismissed.
  • He was driving a white Hyundai Elantra—the same vehicle later linked to the Nov. 13, 2022, killings of four University of Idaho students.
  • Prosecutors had planned to use the bodycam footage at Kohberger’s capital murder trial but it was unsealed after his July plea deal.
  • Kohberger is now serving four consecutive life sentences without parole at Idaho’s Maximum Security Prison and his motive remains unknown.
