There will be a press conference at 1:00 pm today. It seems they have arrested someone for those murders.

I was watching an interview a retired law enforcement guy. They asked him about why no news and the delay was frustrating, people wanted to know what's going on. He said he thinks they're building an air tight case and when they're ready they'll make an announcement. He thinks this was a crime of passion (not a serial killer) and that we'll find out it was "sloppy", meaning left lots of evidence they've been using to build their case.

Oh thank God, this case has been bothering me, but figure law enforcement had something with how tight it was kept.

Apparently he studied criminology and invited criminals to participate in a study where they would talk about the thoughts and feelings they had during the crime. He went to WSU which isn’t far from Moscow.

I am relieved that they found him. I was worried that it might become an infamous cold case, which would bother me.
Dh speculated that it was such a violent bloody crime that the perpetrator must have left DNA behind.

Police have arrested a suspect in the slayings of four University of Idaho students. According to the New York Post, the suspect has been identified as Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, who was arrested in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Kohberger is reportedly a college student but did not attend the University of Idaho. Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were found stabbed to death in their beds at their off-campus dormitory. "The vicious slayings — which saw each of the victims disturbed in their sleep, then stabbed multiple times in their chest area — have dominated headlines for several weeks, with experts and amateurs alike speculating on possible motives and suspects," the Post's report stated. "Best friends Goncalves and Mogen, who met in the sixth grade, were last seen on surveillance footage at Moscow’s Corner Club just hours before the stabbings. They subsequently stopped at a food truck before returning to their rented home before 2 a.m. Kernodle and Chapin had been at a party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity house and had arrived home shortly before." www.rawstory.com/bryan-christopher-kohberger/ |

Dh speculated that it was such a violent bloody crime This statement from reports confuses me: If they thought this victim was just passed out, did they not see blood? |

As violent and brutal as this was, I can't imagine that he did not cut himself in the process, leaving blood and dna behind.

I thought it would be someone younger, and someone on the periphery of their friends. If I read correctly, there was not forced entry so I thought it must be someone that knew them but maybe wasn’t super close. I am glad they got him. I do wonder why they were his target.

From what I understand one of the surviving roommates called a friend first instead of police. When that friend arrived the surviving roommate was hysterical and fainted. The friend didn't know about or hadn't seen the crime scene so all they could report was an unconscious person at that point. |

This continues to be such a bizarre case - I hope the victims family will finally have closure.

My daughter lives in apartments near where they are searching his apartment. Living in this community, it is kind of weird to be so close to this national news story that everyone is talking about. I am glad we are getting some closure.

The report I read said that the tip that really helped police find the killer was that a neighbor reported seeing a white Hyundai Elantra in the area around the time of the murders. Thank goodness for observant neighbors. I never notice things like that.

The news report I heard said they used DNA found at the scene to identify him. Yes. I just saw this on CNN: Genetic genealogy techniques were used to connect Kohberger to unidentified DNA evidence, another source with knowledge of the case tells CNN. The DNA was run through a public database to find potential family member matches, and subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to him as the suspect, the source said. Does that mean it was through like an Ancestry & me site? |

I haven’t seen many details other than he is a phd student at Washington state. Have they discussed a motive?

Not yet. In the news conference yesterday it was said they are limited on what information is released before the suspect appears in court in Idaho.
