Bryan Kohberger case: 911 audio released in Idaho student murders
Share and Follow


Authorities have released the recording of a 911 call placed after the stabbings of four University of Idaho students in November 2022.

Prior public records requests had been denied due to a gag order on the case, but after a transcript became public last week, authorities said they no longer considered it exempt from disclosure. 

The call was placed to authorities at 11:55 a.m. local time on Nov. 13, 2022, several hours after Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20 were allegedly killed at the hands of Bryan Kohberger, then a 28-year-old criminology Ph.D. student at the neighboring Washington State University, just 10 miles away.

After Kohberger’s failed challenge to the methods the FBI used to match DNA evidence in the case, prosecutors suggested that he plans to argue his DNA sample was planted, and he was framed.

A judge entered not guilty pleas to all charges on his behalf at his arraignment in May 2023. 

His trial is scheduled to begin on Aug. 11. Prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty if he is convicted.

His defense intends to use mental health records to try and avoid the death penalty.
