Idaho police release Kohberger surveillance videos

Moscow, Idaho police released hours of surveillance footage they say would have been trial evidence, showing Bryan Kohberger calmly shopping at an Albertsons and attempting to enter a Costco hours after the Nov. 13, 2022 murders, and tracking his white Hyundai Elantra before and after the killings. The videos illustrate how investigators traced his movements despite his phone being off and note he later changed his license plate; Kohberger pleaded guilty on July 23, 2025 to avoid the death penalty and is serving four consecutive life terms plus 10 years.
