MOSCOW, Idaho — The Moscow Police Department-led investigation into the fatal stabbings of four University of Idaho students — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin — came under scrutiny as authorities remained tight-lipped and maintained that they had not identified a suspect nearly seven weeks into the investigation.
But the newly released 19-page probable cause affidavit showed that authorities pinpointed 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger, who police alleged killed the students in an off-campus apartment, less than two weeks after the stabbings.
In the weeks that would follow, law enforcement alleged that, with the help of multiple agencies, they used DNA evidence, cellphone and vehicle records, along with surveillance footage to obtain enough evidence to arrest and charge Kohberger.
