A DISTURBING new video shows the movements of suspected Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger moments before four college students were killed.

Security footage captured a white car believed to be Kohberger’s circling the students’ home multiple times before the murder.

In the video obtained by Dateline, the white vehicle circled the block multiple times and approached the house again.

Thirteen minutes later, the mysterious vehicle sped off.

Investigators identified a white Hyundai Elantra, estimated to be a model from 2011 to 2013, as a crucial lead when they asked the public to assist in tracking down a suspect.

This vehicle, combined with DNA and mobile phone data, is among the most pivotal evidence connecting Kohberger to the location where the four University of Idaho students were tragically killed.

Dateline’s two-hour special, broadcasting on Friday at 9 pm Eastern, will explore the case against the alleged killer and feature conversations with individuals who had contact with the suspect.

In a teaser for the new episode, a woman named Holly said she gave Kohberger her number after they met at a pool party.

The former graduate student said Kohberger texted her the next day about a conversation they had about hiking.

“I really enjoy that activity so please let me know,” Kohberger reportedly texted Holly.

“The wording of the text, as I look back on it, is kind of peculiar,” Holly told Dateline.

“It was almost overly formal.”

She never replied to Kohberger’s text – and months later, he was arrested on the quadruple murder charges.

“You know the universe intervened, and for whatever reason just distracted me from that interaction,” Holly said.

The mother of the daughter who was meant to be staying in the house the night of the murders will also be featured.

“All I could think about was the kids,” the mother said, referring to her daughter Ashton’s deceased friends.

The new episode will also explore the contents of his cellphone, including photos prosecutors say he had on his phone of women from Washington State University.

FBI cellphone experts also reported that the suspect’s phone had connected to a cell tower providing coverage within 328 feet of the student’s rental house.

The tower connected 23 nighttime visits to the address over four months.

One visit was just six days before the killings.

Prosecutors also say that Kohberger’s phone browsing history shows several disturbing searches that he made just before the murders.

University of Idaho murders timeline

On November 13, 2022, a brutal home invasion claimed the lives of four University of Idaho students.

Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in their Moscow, Idaho, off-campus home.

A six-week manhunt ensued as cops searched for a suspect.

On December 30, 2022, Bryan Kohberger, 30, was arrested at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania – 2,500 miles away from the crime scene.

He was taken into custody and has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Kohberger, a former criminal justice student at Washington State University, has been linked to the crime scene through phone records, his car’s location, and DNA evidence found at the home where the murders took place.

The house was demolished in December 2023 despite backlash from the victims’ families.

Kohberger is being held at Latah County Jail while he awaits trial.

On September 9, 2024, an Idaho judge ruled to move the upcoming murder trial out of Moscow after Kohberger’s lawyer argued that the town was prejudiced against him.

The state Supreme Court will decide the new venue and judge for the trial, which is expected to start in August 2025.

The explicit searches were for pornography with the words “forced,” “passed out,” “drugged,” and “sleeping.”

Kohberger also searched for information on the Ted Bundy murders, prosecutors say.

HORRIFIC SCENE

Kohberger was arrested in December 2022, a month after University of Idaho students and housemates Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Xana Kernodle, 20, as well as Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were killed.

The students had just returned to their home between 1:30 and 2 am on November 13 from a night out at a fraternity party and sports bar.

A release put out by the Moscow, Idaho, police department reported that law enforcement was called to assist an unconscious individual.

When officers arrived, they discovered that four of the college students living on the third floor had been stabbed to death.

The killer left only two people alive, Dylan Mortensen, who lived on the second floor, and Bethany Funke, who lived on the first floor, CNN reported.

The two roommates reported seeing a man dressed in black at their home around 4 am, and attempted to call their housemates several times.

However, none of the housemates picked up and the two surviving roommates didn’t call 911 until later that day at 11:58 am.

The mysterious murders, which left the college community in fear, sparked a six-week-long manhunt for the killer.

On December 28, 2022, Bryan Kohberger was arrested at his family home in Pennsylvania.

The 27-year-old was a graduate student in criminology at Washington State University.

In May 2023, Kohberger pleaded not guilty on all charges.

The suspect faces the death penalty if convicted.

He maintains his innocence and is set to begin trial on August 11.
