CREEPY video shows cold-blooded killer Bryan Kohberger confessing to cops in new bodycam footage.
A visibly irritated and wide-eyed Kohberger was captured on the roadside in his white Hyundai Elantra, mere months prior to the tragic stabbing of four University of Idaho students.
Newly released police video shows the twisted killer in a traffic stop in Moscow, reported the Idaho Statesman.
A Latah County sheriff’s deputy in August 2022 stopped him for speeding on the Pullman-Moscow Highway, which crosses two states.
Kohberger killed four University of Idaho students several months later that same year.
These events led to the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen at their off-campus rental home during the late hours of November 13, 2022.
In the previously unreleased police video, he can be seen being handed a safety belt ticket – an offense for which he was fined $10.
The Idaho Statesman obtained an over-three-minute section of the disturbing bodycam vid following a public records request.
The footage was originally planned to be shown at Kohberger’s capital murder trial.
It was filmed by Deputy Darren Duke, who stopped Kohberger, a former Ph.D. student of criminology at Washington State University.
He was driving his white Hyundai Elantra, which was later connected to the slayings.
“I stopped the vehicle for speeding, 42 mph in a 35 mph zone, confirmed patrolled speed at 29 mph,” wrote Duke.
“Driver stated he was not aware of the speed limit. I noticed he was not wearing his seatbelt and he acknowledged that he was not.
“I cited him for the seatbelt and warned him for the speed.”
The official’s bodycam captured the driver staring creepily towards the deputy as he approached at night.
Kohberger was seen spending a few seconds peering into his side mirror as a law enforcement officer approached his vehicle, with the reflections of police lights flickering in the background.
Bodycam video then showed the startled driver suddenly giving a spooky wide-eyed look through his open window.
The deputy greeted him courteously, explaining, “I pulled you over because you were speeding a bit, didn’t know this was a 35 zone?” To which Kohberger replied, “Oh, it’s 35?”
The deputy confirmed, “Yes, it is, you were going…” before Kohberger interjected, “41,” and the officer corrected, “Actually, 43, according to the radar. Could I see your license, registration, and insurance?”
The official then asked him, “Were you wearing your seatbelt when I stopped you?”
The driver responded, “No,” which prompted the sheriff to laugh and say, “That’s no good!”
The defiant driver replied in an unsmiling manner, “I’m just being honest with you.”
The sheriff said, “Yeah, I appreciate that.”
GLARED
Instead, Kohberger stared at him, then shook his head and retorted, “This is ridiculous, completely pointless to be honest. You’ve got a radar.”
The official then asked for his vehicle registration slip, before telling him that sheriffs had to “enforce seatbelt laws.”
“And so I’ll write you a citation for that,” the official continued. “It’s $10 in Idaho – not a huge deal.”
The official then returned to his vehicle where he can be heard confirming Kohberger’s details.
He next returned to the driver and confirmed that he had a right for a hearing on the citation, but it would need to request it before September 8 otherwise he would “automatically lose the right to a hearing.”
INSURANCE
Kohberger was concerned about the incident – and citation – possibly being reported to insurance.
But the cop replied, “I don’t think so, I think it’s only moving violations that go to insurance… things that might put points on your license.”
He was also not happy about supplying his phone number, asking “why” he needed to do so.
The sheriff explained, “We need to put it on the citation as it goes to the court.”
Kohberger was also recorded saying, “Just for future reference, I’m obviously not experienced [in regards to] the seatbelt.
“When people lie to you about that – say I lied to you about it – [what usually happens?]”
The official replied, “With a seatbelt like this, I didn’t check as I was coming up so that’s why I asked you.”
CAR LINKED TO KILLINGS
But Kohberger pressed him, asking whether he “usually” checked seatbelts.
The official replied, “I should – I noticed you weren’t wearing it.”
He added that he was getting “paid” to check that people were wearing seatbelts in vehicles, as per the law, and so he had to “enforce” it.
The car was later spotted cruising past the students’ gray, three-story rental home.
Prosecutors said they had planned to show the court the surveillance vid to establish the killer’s identity, phone number and that he owned a white Hyundai Elantra.
And surveillance videos showing the vehicle that November night were key to unraveling the gruesome mystery of who killed all four students inside the house.
Security footage from the neighborhood included one recording of his car speeding away after the slayings.
Law enforcement identified Kohberger, telling court how investigators gathered camera footage which helped spot the white Hyundai Elantra within hours.
GUILTY
But early in July he pleaded guilty to the killings, meaning that it was not released to the public – until today.
On July 24 the twisted killer was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador acknowledged that nothing would bring “true justice” for the “evil” of Kohberger’s murderous attack on the four students.
Judge Steven Hippler wiped away tears as he announced the sentence for Kohberger, 30, after an emotional hearing where the victims’ family and friends shared devastating impact statements.
