An arrest has finally been made in association with the murder of four Idaho college students. The suspect, named Bryan Christopher Kohberger, was apprehended in Scranton, Pennsylvania at 3:00 a.m., this morning. This opens a new chapter in a case that has horrified people across the world through several media headlines and true crime programs.
Fox News reports that Bryan Christopher Kohlberger was arrested on Friday as the prime suspect in the slayings of 20-year-old Ethan Chapin, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle, 21-year-old Madison Mogen and 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves. Dubbed in the media as the Idaho Four, the four young college students were violently slain in the late night hours of November 13, 2022. All four friends were reportedly stabbed to death, with forensic experts noting that they were likely asleep when the murders took place. Over the course of several weeks the public has been captivated by this case and the apparent lack of suspects. After all, how could four able bodied young adults be stabbed to death in their sleep in a home full of people — and nobody heard or saw a thing?
Now that an arrest has been made in the murders of the Idaho Four, it’s time to find out the motive as well as whether or not anyone else could have been involved. The man arrested for these crimes seems to be a slender, sickly looking person. It still seems odd that he could overpower four people and kill them “in their sleep,” including the men. Hopefully some more information comes out that could ease any suspicions about this awful case.
