KILLER Bryan Kohberger has been pictured looking gaunt with a blank stare after he was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences.

A chilling new mug shot emerged on Thursday as the guilty murderer was moved from jail, yet it will take two weeks before he’s secured in Idaho’s sole maximum security prison.

At 30, Kohberger was doomed to live his life behind bars for the slaying of University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

In his new mugshot, his pupils are dilated as he gazes at the camera with an empty look in his eyes.

In the photo, he sports the identical orange prison outfit he wore at his Wednesday sentencing, marked with two “Ls” for a large size on the shirt’s collar.

However, Kohberger is not reporting directly to prison after Judge Steven Hippler handed him his sentence.

The killer is set to undergo two weeks of evaluations first, according to the Idaho Department of Corrections.

Officials utilize the tests to determine where the criminals will live.

“Once in IDOC custody, the person goes through a reception and diagnostic process to evaluate their needs and determine appropriate housing placement,” an IDOC spokesperson told People.

The process in the Reception and Diagnostic Unit can take up to two weeks, officials said.

“We wait until a person completes RDU to determine their classification or housing placement,” the spokesperson explained.

The RDU is at the Idaho State Correctional Institution south of Boise, where prisoners are photographed, fingerprinted, evaluated, and classified, according to the IDOC website.

Prisoners receive a physical exam, a psychological evaluation, an educational assessment, and a substance abuse evaluation.

Officials also use the RDU process to create a case plan to address the inmate’s needs.

After the process, Kohberger’s information will be reviewed by a committee that classifies the inmate in one of five levels: community custody, minimum custody, minimum restricted custody, medium custody, and close custody.

Once offenders are in prison, they can move up and down in classification.

The full details of Bryan Kohberger’s sentence

On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following:

  • Count 1: Burglary – 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine.
  • Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 3: First-degree murder of Kaylee Goncalves: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 4: First-degree murder of Xana Kernodle: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
  • Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.

The sentencings will run consecutively to one another.

“From RDU, inmates are transferred to the facility

that is most appropriate for their level of custody and has a bed available,” according to IDOC.

After the evaluations, Kohberger will likely be assigned to the only maximum security prison in Idaho, but he could also be sent to an out-of-state facility due to the high-profile nature of the case.

IDOC told People that out-of-state placements are determined on a case-by-case basis.

JAIL TIME SO FAR

Kohberger has spent over 900 days in jail so far, between his time in Latah County Jail and Ada County Jail.

He was extradited to Idaho following his arrest on quadruple murder charges at his parents’ Pennsylvania home on December 30, 2022.

Truth be told, I’m unable to come up with anything redeeming about Mr. Kohberger. His actions have made him the worst of the worst

Judge Steven Hippler

The killer waited behind bars for the start of his murder trial in August 2025, but suddenly decided to plead guilty to four counts of murder and one count of burglary.

In pleading guilty on July 2, Kohberger avoided being executed and waived his right to appeal.

He confessed to brutally murdering the four friends as they slept in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022.

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 a 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 charged with four counts of first-degree murder.

Kohberger, a former criminal justice student at Washington State University, was 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 was held at Latah County Jail where he awaited 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 trial was expected to start in August 2025.

But on June 30, 2025, Kohberger struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to the charges on July 2.

The move was blasted by the victims’ families, who wanted Kohberger to face justice through a trial.

On July 23, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Kohberger to four consecutive life sentences in prison with an additional 10 years for burglary.

Friends and family members of the four victims shared powerful impact statements at the sentencing hearing, as roommates Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke also spoke out for the first time.

A motive for the murders hasn’t been determined and likely won’t be after Kohberger refused to speak during his sentencing hearing.

The murderer only uttered “I respectfully decline” after he was asked by the judge if he had anything to say.

He remained silent and emotionless as the victims’ friends and family shared powerful impact statements during the three-hour hearing.

Then the judge secured the decision to keep Kohberger away from society for the rest of his life.

“Truth be told, I’m unable to come up with anything redeeming about Mr. Kohberger,” Hippler said.

“His actions have made him the worst of the worst.”

Before handing down the sentence, Hippler added, “It’s time to end his 15 minutes of fame.”

Kohberger will now spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole.
