Following a thorough investigation that included both forensic and digital evidence, authorities apprehended him at his parent’s residence in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, roughly 2,500 miles away from the crime location, on December 30, 2022.
Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary — if convicted, he could face the death penalty.

He is originally from the Pocono Mountains region in Pennsylvania.

Kohberger is being held without bond in Latah County Jail, Idaho, and has not yet entered a plea.
