Police Release Hours of Video Tracing Kohberger’s Movements Before and After Idaho Murders

The footage, released after a gag order lifted, reflects evidence police planned to present at trial.

Overview

  • Moscow police published extensive surveillance clips showing a white Hyundai Elantra circling the neighborhood before the attack and accelerating away afterward.
  • Cameras later captured Bryan Kohberger shopping and using self-checkout hours after the killings, including an apparent refusal at a Costco entrance without a membership card.
  • The compilation echoes affidavit details, with a neighbor’s camera recording brief sounds of a struggle followed by sustained dog barking.
  • Investigators tracked the suspect vehicle through prior police encounters recorded on bodycam and noted a license-plate change following the murders.
  • Kohberger pleaded guilty in July and is serving four consecutive life sentences without parole plus 10 years after waiving his right to appeal.
