BOISE, Idaho — When law enforcement arrested a man for the stabbings of four University of Idaho students, the suspect turned out to be a little-known graduate student at a nearby school.
Bryan C. Kohberger, a 28-year-old from Pennsylvania, was studying criminal justice and criminology at Washington State University and had recently completed his first semester as a Ph.D. student, the university confirmed Friday.
Before attending WSU, Kohberger graduated from DeSales University in Allentown, Pennsylvania, with a master of arts degree in criminal justice in May 2022, according to Carolyn Steigleman, associate vice president of marketing and communications. Allentown is about 40 miles south of Albrightsville.
