Bryan Kohberger, a former criminal-justice doctoral student, has been sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for the 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students. The victims, roommates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were fatally stabbed at an off-campus residence. Kohberger pleaded guilty to the murders but did not provide a motive during sentencing, leaving the reason behind the killings unclear. The sentencing took place in July 2025, several weeks after Kohberger's confession. Following the sentencing, the Moscow Police Department released approximately 300 documents related to the investigation. Despite the guilty plea and sentencing, questions remain about why Kohberger committed the murders.
