Idaho State Police have released hundreds of photos from their investigation into the University of Idaho student murders and their perpetrator, Bryan Kohberger – including images that show the former criminology Ph.D. student’s infamous white Hyundai Elantra after it was seized from his parents’ driveway in Pennsylvania.

While the exterior appears to be filthy, images from inside appear to show a white substance covering the steering wheel, dashboard, center console and other parts of the interior.

Experts say it could be soap or bleach if Kohberger attempted to clean up evidence from inside the vehicle or residue left over from fingerprinting or other crime lab testing.

The murders happened around 4 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 13, 2022 – shortly before the Thanksgiving break and hours after the roommates came home from nights spent drinking heavily with friends.

Hand prints on the windows were not connected to the case, authorities said previously.

On top of the microwave is a half-eaten box of fries from Jack in the Box. Nearby is a bag from a delivery order addressed to “Xana.”

In the living room, next to a wall covered in string lights, there’s a flag on the wall that says “Saturdays are for the girls.”

The photos do not show rooms where the murders took place. Mogen’s mom and both of Chapin’s parents have asked a judge to block the release of images from inside the bedrooms, and the court issued a temporary restraining order.

A hearing on the matter scheduled for Thursday has been pushed back to next week.

Kohberger is serving four consecutive life prison sentences plus another 10 years at the Idaho Maximum Security Institute, where he has been complaining about the food and alleged harassment from other inmates.
