Idaho prosecutors have long maintained they were unable to “prove” a link between Bryan Kohberger and any of the University of Idaho students he killed in November 2022, nor could they state who among the four Kohberger targeted.
However, one potential link between Kohberger and two of the victims has now been revealed, suggesting one online theory might be correct. In July 2025, Kohberger changed his plea to guilty for the brutal murders of four University of Idaho college students, Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.
