Authorities in Moscow, Idaho, have made public nearly 200 redacted and blurred images from the crime scene at an off-campus house, where Bryan Kohberger killed Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin on November 13, 2022.

Last month, Kohberger pleaded guilty to the quadruple murders to avoid the death penalty.

The killer, 30, is now in solitary confinement at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution serving four consecutive life sentences without parole.

After the sentencing, the judge lifted a gag order on the case, unsealing documents about the investigation of the murders.

For the first time, photographic evidence collected on the day of the murders was released following a request by NBC affiliate KTVB.

HORRIFIC SCENE

Among the select images considered suitable for publication by the outlet, remnants of the dreadful violence still haunt the three-story residence.

Eerie handprints are seen stamped against the windows in one of the rooms of the home. It’s unclear who left the marks and when.

Blood splatters are seen on the white painted doors, walls, and hardwood floors.

Cops also took a picture of the sliding glass door that Kohberger used to get inside.

Blurred images show a bed with blood-soaked sheets, as well as clothes and shoes on the bedroom floor where Mogen and Goncalves were killed.

An alarming photo from Kernodle’s room shows a view from down the hallway, with the bedroom door open and the grim site where she struggled against Kohberger before Chapin, her boyfriend, was tragically slain in her bed.

Images of the house also depicted the lively atmosphere of friends frequently visiting, studying, socializing, and making the most of their college experience before the tragic events unfolded.

One image displayed a beer pong table, while others featured backpacks, empty solo cups, and a Jack in the Box delivery bag from Kernodle’s final DoorDash order, which was consumed shortly before her death.

DAD SPEAKS OUT

The release of the horrifying pictures came days after Goncalves’ dad, Steve Goncalves, shared that he didn’t want the images released at all.

“You don’t get that those are our children, and we’re not settling for that type of thing,” he said on NewsNation’s Banfield on Wednesday.

“I hope that we can give these kids some dignity and we don’t have to go there.”

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.

The dad said that the public has a right to know about the case, but that he doesn’t want the world having access to his daughter’s last moments.

“We’re afraid that we’d wake up one morning and that might be on TV,” he said.

Hundreds of documents about the investigation into Kohberger revealed more information that led cops to determine that the killer planned his attack to target the college students.

Goncalves reportedly told her roommates she saw a strange man staring at her outside their house in the weeks before the murders, the police documents said.

Kohberger also had a history of unsettling behavior before the murders, including mentioning a Ka-Bar knife while chatting up a Tinder match.

At his sentencing hearing, Goncalves’ sister ripped Kohberger as a “delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser.”

Kohberger’s motive for the murders has never been revealed.
