Overview

  • The Moscow Police posted nearly 53 minutes of bodycam video to Law & Crime showing surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen tearfully describing hearing a scream, a male voice saying, “You’re going to be OK, I’m going to help you,” and seeing a masked intruder.
  • Unsealed Idaho State Police documents reconstruct Bryan Kohberger’s path through 1122 King Road, concluding three victims were asleep, Xana Kernodle was awake and fought back, and the indoor attacks could have taken as little as 90 seconds.
  • Investigators’ timing runs, combined with approach routes from a parking spot seen on neighborhood cameras around 4:07 a.m., estimate the minimum car-to-car window at about two to four minutes, with Kohberger’s vehicle seen departing near 4:20 a.m.
  • Bodycam footage shows student Hunter Johnson found the victims, directed surviving roommates away from the scene, and searched the house with a knife before leading officers through the home.
  • Idaho State Police released hundreds of photos, including Kohberger’s seized white Hyundai Elantra and scenes inside and outside the house; families obtained a temporary court order blocking bedroom images, the murder weapon has not been found, and Kohberger is serving four life sentences after his July guilty plea.
