Kohberger went on his rampage inside the Moscow property in November 2022 after his white Hyundai was caught on surveillance footage stalking the local neighborhood.

The ex-criminology student butchered Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in their off-campus accommodation with a Ka-Bar blade.

Chilling snaps, taken by Moscow cops and obtained by the NBC affiliate KTVB-TV, show pictures from inside the home after the murders.

One haunting picture was taken in one of the victim’s rooms. 

All that can be seen in the image, which has been heavily redacted, is what looks to be a pink blanket.

Mogen and Goncalves were found together covered by a pink blanket, cops said.

Investigators described Goncalves as “unrecognizable” following Kohberger’s attack.

Some of the victims were stabbed more than 30 times by frenzied Kohberger.

Other pictures from the scene show a pair of shoes and other accessories scattered on the floor.

Two handprints were seen on one of the home’s windows, and blood spatters were found on the white wooden doors.

All Bryan Kohberger documents are finally released in Washington with eerie details of Idaho murder investigation

Before he killed the four students, Kohberger drove past the home three times between 3:30am and 3:58am.

Police suspect he carried out the killings over a 13-minute period. 

Kohberger is believed to have done a three point turn near the home at around 4:07am. 

But, then his car isn’t spotted on security cameras until 4:20am.

Kohberger drove away from the scene at a “high rate of speed.”

Bryan Kohberger’s eerie confession

On July 2, Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to killing four University of Idaho students during a chilling and emotionless courtroom appearance. With one-word answers, he confessed to the disturbing crime:

Judge Steven Hippler: Are you pleading guilty because you are guilty?

Bryan Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: Did you on November 13, 2022 enter the residence at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho with the intent to commit the felony crime of murder?

Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: Did you on November 13, 2022 in Latah County in the state of Idaho kill and murder Madison Mogen, a human being?

Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: And did you do that willfully, unlawfully, deliberately, with premeditation, and with malice of forethought?

Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: Did you on or about the same date in Moscow, Idaho, kill and murder Kaylee Goncalves, a human being?

Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: And did you on that same date in Moscow, Idaho, kill and murder Xana Kernodle, a human being?

Kohberger: Yes

Judge Hippler: And then on or about November 13, 2022, again in Latah County, Idaho, did you kill and murder Ethan Chapin, a human being?

Kohberger: Yes

Later in the hearing, Kohberger officially changed his plea, one count at a time, with the same emotionless tone that belied the horrific nature of his murders.

Judge Hippler: With respect to count one, burglary felony, how do you plead Mr. Kohberger?

Kohberger: Guilty

Judge Hippler: As to count two, murder in the first degree as it relates to the murder of Madison Mogen, how do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Kohberger: Guilty

Judge Hippler: As to count three, as it relates to murder in the first degree to the murder of Kaylee Goncalves, how do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Kohberger: Guilty

Judge Hippler: As to count four, the first degree murder of Xana Kernodle, a human being, how do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Kohberger: Guilty

Judge Hippler: As to count five, first degree murder of Ethan Chapin, a human being, how do you plead guilty or not guilty?

Just moments before Kohberger left the scene, cops were able to detect a whimpering sound. 

Then, there was a thud-like noise before a dog started barking repeatedly. 

The dog barked for around 15 minutes, according to the security video.

The crime scene pictures emerged after Kaylee’s dad, Steve, feared the images would surface.

He revealed the families of the victims had been fearing the pictures from inside the house would appear on TV.

“We’ve been worried that we would see those leaked at any time when you had, like, certain stories and certain things been leaked since the very beginning,” Steve told NewsNation.

FAMILIES FEARS

Earlier this week, a trove of files related to Kohberger were released, unveiling new information about the knifeman.

During his time as a graduate student, Kohberger lived in Pullman and tried to apply for a position with the local police force.

Before the murders happened, Kohberger was also probed as part of an investigation into a 2021 break-in. 

The break-in happened 10 miles from the home where the students were killed.

After further investigation, cops ruled Kohberger wasn’t a suspect. 

The full details of Bryan Kohberger’s sentence

On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following:

  • Count 1: Burglary – 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine.
  • Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 3: First-degree murder of Kaylee Goncalves: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 4: First-degree murder of Xana Kernodle: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.

The sentencings will run consecutively to one another.

But, a woman, who was 20 at the time of the break-in, claimed she saw a knife-wielding masked man inside the home. 

She told cops that she kicked in the intruder, who was never caught. 

Chilling details also emerged claiming Kohberger kept the ID cards of two women he had known in the years leading up to the killings.

Cops found the ID cards in a box at his parents home when Kohberger was arrested in December 2022.

The women told cops they were never threatened by Kohberger.

Kohberger refused to provide any details about his motives at his sentencing hearing. 

He was skewered by Kaylee’s sister, Alivea, who delivered a blistering warning.

She branded him a “hypochondriac loser” and emphasized how no one inside the Ada County courthouse was intimidated by him.

“The truth is, you’re as dumb as they come. Stupid, clumsy, slow, sloppy, weak, dirty,” Alivea told Kohberger.

Kim Cheeley, Mogen’s grandma, told the courthouse how her family had been living with the “effects of traumatic grief.”

“Maddie was taken senselessly and brutally in a sudden act of evil,” her stepdad Scott Laramie said in a statement.

Kohberger is being housed at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Boise.
