Overview

• Four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin—were fatally stabbed at an off-campus home on November 13, 2022.
• Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson told CBS’ 48 Hours that cell-phone data place Kohberger in the victims’ neighborhood more than 20 times after 10 p.m. before the killings.
• Thompson said prosecutors suspect Kohberger may have broken into the King Road residence during those late-night trips, although definitive proof of an intrusion remains elusive.
• Investigators first linked Kohberger to the crime by matching trace DNA on a knife sheath left at the scene to his father’s genetic profile.
• Despite the sweeping evidence and legal resolution, authorities and the victims’ families continue to seek clarity on Kohberger’s motive.
