On Nov. 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus house in a crime that sent shockwaves through the town.

Kohberger is accused in the stabbing deaths of Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen at a home near campus in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022.

Originally from Pennsylvania, Kohberger was a Washington State University Ph.D. student of criminology who lived just 10 miles west of the students on the other side of the Idaho-Washington state line in Pullman. Prosecutors in court records have alleged the four murders occurred within a 13-minute span.
