Prosecutors, FBI Return to University of Idaho Murder House to Gather More Evidence, Construct Exhibits – Crime Online

On Tuesday and Wednesday, Idaho prosecutors and the FBI will visit the off-campus University of Idaho home where four students were killed last November.

Bryan Kohberger’s trial was delayed indefinitely after he waived his right to a speedy trial. KHQ reported that when the trial was scheduled to begin this October, it meant that any visual representation of the King Road murder house would not be ready in time for proceedings.

According to the news outlet, the plywood that covers the windows and doors will be removed. The home, which is located in Moscow, will be resecured once investigators and prosecutors are finished with their review.

KTVB reported that details were gathered during the original murder investigation, but now the FBI wants to compile their own measurements and images now that personal property is no longer in the home.

The University of Idaho initially planned to demolish the home this past summer but stepped back on those plans presumably due to the pending trial.

The defense has claimed Kohberger was not at the crime scene and was driving around alone the night Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Kaylee Goncalves were fatally stabbed at the women’s off-campus home on November 13, 2022.

However, police claim he visited the area 12 times before the slayings and that he turned off his phone on the night in question.

Investigators tested DNA from a trash can outside Kohberger’s family home in Pennsylvania against DNA found on the sheath at the crime scene. Testing determined that “at least 99.9998% of the male population would be expected to be excluded from the possibility of being the suspect’s biological father.”

Prosecutors filed court documents detailing their intent to pursue the death penalty as they deemed the slayings were “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel.”
