Unseen Walmart video shows Bryan Kohberger acting differently after Idaho student murders
Share this @internewscast.com

EXCLUSIVE TO FOX: Newly disclosed surveillance footage from a Walmart store reveals that convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger was a frequent visitor during his brief time in the Pullman-Moscow region. Notably, after the brutal slaying of four University of Idaho students, he began shopping while wearing gloves.

The videos, now making their public debut thanks to a Fox News Digital inquiry, were instrumental in building the case against Kohberger. He pled guilty in July to avoid facing the death penalty for the heinous crime committed in November 2022.

Captured over several weeks, the surveillance footage documents at least 13 nighttime visits Kohberger made to the Pullman Walmart from October 28 to December 8, 2022. These appearances became more conspicuous following the November 13 murders.

Kohberger reportedly departed the area around mid-December for a long drive back to Pennsylvania with his father. His arrest followed on December 30 at his family’s home.

The surveillance images, showing Kohberger shopping with gloves in the weeks after the tragedy, underscore the shift in his behavior post-crime. A significant detail from the footage reveals his last ungloved checkout occurred on November 12 at 10:34 p.m.—just hours before the early morning murders.

A visit to Walmart on Nov. 12 was the last time cameras recorded Kohberger at the checkout without gloves on. He checked out at 10:34 p.m., according to police reports, then committed the murders just after 4 a.m. the following morning.

Subsequent videos show he returned to Walmart with gloves on multiple times and only exposed a single thumb after that, when he pulled his credit card out of his wallet to pay while keeping his other fingers covered. The only exception appears to be his final visit to the store, on Dec. 8, when he arrived with gloves on but took them off before searching through his wallet and paying.

On one occasion, Dec. 2, Kohberger arrived and left with another person, although they paid at separate self-checkout registers. The supplemental report detailing his Walmart purchases does not include any references to this person, and Kohberger is believed to have acted alone in the crime.

Kohberger was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University, which is about 10 miles away from the crime scene, over the state line. The Walmart store is between the two schools.

According to previously released court documents, a Walmart worker told police that a suspicious White male had come in looking for a black ski mask.

Police confirmed that Kohberger used the same debit card on all 13 visits to the store and purchased only two items of evidentiary interest, according to Moscow Police Department documents.

Those were a beanie, purchased during his Nov. 7 visit, and “utility clothes” on Dec. 1. Police were unable to uncover specific details about the beanie, including whether it qualified as a ski mask. The second item turned out to be a nine-pack of gray hand towels, according to the documents.

Search warrant returns also show police seized a Walmart receipt from Kohberger’s home and that they served warrants on the retail giant as they tracked down where he bought the murder weapon, a Ka-Bar knife.

Police ultimately discovered Kohberger bought one on Amazon and later searched for another after the murders. The murder weapon itself was never found, but Kohberger left a Ka-Bar sheath with his DNA on it at the crime scene.

Investigators later revealed the killer entered the home at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, wearing a black balaclava over his face, through which the lone eyewitness said she could see only his “bushy eyebrows.”

Inside, he killed 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin. All but Kernodle were asleep at the start of the massacre, according to authorities.

Kohberger is serving four consecutive life prison sentences without the possibility of parole, plus another 10 years.

He has given no explanation for the crime.
