The probable-cause affidavit explained why investigators arrested Bryan Kohberger, but it did not explain why they believed he targeted 1122 King Road or the four students inside. It connected Kohberger to the case through DNA recovered from a knife sheath, surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra, cellphone records and a surviving roommate’s description of a masked man. Still unanswered we...

Moscow investigators filed more than 60 search-warrant applications during the investigation, including six that focused specifically on locating the Ka-Bar-style knife believed to have been used in the murders. The warrants were directed to Amazon, Walmart, eBay, Blue Ridge Knives and Ka-Bar itself, with eBay receiving two separate requests. Investigators sought records identifying anyone who pur...

​Prosecutors in the Bryan Kohberger case have introduced evidence indicating that Kohberger purchased a Ka-Bar knife, along with a sheath and sharpener, from Amazon between March 20 and March 30, 2022—approximately eight months prior to the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. A knife sheath found at the crime scene contained Kohberger's DNA, strengthening the prosecution's...

During the early stages of the Moscow murder investigation, authorities said there were no obvious signs of forced entry at 1122 King Road but did not publicly identify how the killer entered. Attention quickly centered on the sliding glass door connected to the second-floor kitchen because the slope behind the house placed that level close to the ground and made the door easily accessible from th...

Nine days after four University of Idaho students were murdered, former FBI profiler Jim Clemente described the unidentified killer as likely being a young man close to the victims’ age who had little criminal or forensic sophistication and probably had not committed that level of violence before. Clemente believed the offender appeared sloppy and compulsive, but he also viewed the decision to ent...

Day two of Tyler Robinson’s preliminary hearing focused heavily on prosecutors’ effort to connect Robinson to the Utah Valley University campus and to the physical evidence recovered after Charlie Kirk was shot.

According to newly surfaced FBI records, a foreign hacker penetrated a server used by the FBI’s New York Child Exploitation Forensic Lab on Super Bowl Sunday in February 2023 and accessed material connected to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Special Agent Aaron Spivack later said in sworn statements that he discovered the intrusion after finding a message on the system saying the network had be...

A second push to force the release of additional Jeffrey Epstein records advanced in the House after Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna said they had secured enough commitments to bring the Epstein Files Transparency Act II to the floor through another discharge petition. The maneuver closely mirrored the strategy used to pass the original Epstein Files Transparency Act in 2025, when supporters byp...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was described by friends as effectively “living in limbo” while Thames Valley Police continued investigating allegations tied to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and his former role as a British trade envoy. Andrew had moved from Royal Lodge to Marsh Farm on the Sandringham Estate after his February 2026 arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Although h...

In the days immediately after Bryan Kohberger’s arrest, investigators had finally identified a suspect in the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, but many of the biggest questions about the case remained unanswered. Police had said the attack was targeted, yet they had not explained whether one victim or all four had been intended targets, what the motive wa...

Gary Ridgway’s confessions came after he struck a 2003 plea agreement with King County prosecutors that spared him the death penalty in exchange for a complete and truthful accounting of every murder he committed in the county. Ridgway ultimately pleaded guilty to 48 counts of aggravated first-degree murder and spent months giving investigators detailed interviews about how he selected, killed and...

In January 2023, former Florida judge Belvin Perry, who had presided over the Casey Anthony murder trial, said he believed Idaho prosecutors were likely to seek the death penalty against Bryan Kohberger if the case reached trial. Perry based that assessment on Idaho’s capital-punishment statute and the allegations that Kohberger had murdered four University of Idaho students, Madison Mogen, Kaylee...

In the immediate aftermath of Bryan Kohberger’s December 30, 2022 arrest, Kaylee Goncalves’s family expressed a mixture of relief, cautious optimism and determination to see the case through. Steve Goncalves said the arrest made him feel that they were finally “on the path to justice” after nearly seven weeks of uncertainty, rumors and waiting for investigators to identify a suspect. He said the f...
