() Newly-released surveillance video shows Bryan Kohberger visiting multiple stores hours after he murdered four University of Idaho students.
In a video first shared by Gray Hughes Investigates, Kohberger is captured entering Costco wearing a button-up shirt, pants, and sneakers. He carries a water bottle and is halted by the greeter upon entry.
After a brief conversation, Kohberger exits the store, seemingly denied entry.
“It’s astounding to observe him just walking around so nonchalantly, despite knowing he had killed four individuals earlier that day,” Hughes commented ahead of his “Banfield” appearance Thursday.
“Notably, he keeps his left hand in his pocket. That’s the hand with a Band-Aid covering a cut, seemingly trying to conceal it as he strolls along.”
Kohberger was seen with a wound on his hand in selfies he took after the murders.
Another clip shows Kohberger driving his Hyundai Elantra out of the parking lot and heading toward a coffee shop. At the shop, he didn’t appear to place an order and briefly paused in the middle of the parking lot.
He headed to a different store and was seen in surveillance video grabbing a drink and paying for it at self-checkout.
Bryan Kohberger admits to murders
The surveillance footage emerged after Kohberger admitted guilt and received a life sentence for the November 2022 murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.
He entered a guilty plea on July 2, sparing him from the death penalty, and was sent to the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
Since being booked at the prison, he’s complained about the food and taunting by his fellow inmates.
On July 30, a week post-sentencing, he filed an initial complaint, claiming that other inmates were deliberately flooding their cells while subjecting him to “constant verbal threats/harassment,” according to documents received. In a subsequent report on August 4, Kohberger mentioned experiencing threats of sexual assault.
Bryan Kohberger case file reveals new details
Court documents detailing the investigation into Kohberger have trickled out since his sentencing, and investigators shared new details about the probe in interviews with .
Digital forensic experts Heather and Jared Barnhart told “Banfield” that Kohberger’s mom sent him a link to a news article about the murders before his arrest. Their investigation into his phone and devices also revealed that he had only 18 phone contacts saved, and exclusively referred to his mom as “mother.”
“Think about all the people you meet and the hundreds of random numbers,” Heather Barnhart said.
“And they were even identified as ‘girl I ran with,’ ‘second girl I ran with.’ A contact, then in parentheses ‘hair,’” she said. “Then there was ‘Mother’ and ‘Father,’ and his sister and just a few others.”
The release of some case files and crime scene photos has been blocked after families of Kohberger’s victims filed a lawsuit seeking to keep them sealed.
Kohberger’s motive for killing Mogen, Chapin, Kernodle and Goncalves is unknown.
