Bryan Kohberger, who stands accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, was reportedly driving west of Moscow, Idaho, on the night of the killings, according to his attorney. The defense intends to present a cellphone tower and radio frequency expert to provide evidence supporting this alibi, as detailed in a court document filed Wednesday.
Kohberger’s attorney asserts that Kohberger frequently drove south of Pullman, Washington, and west of Moscow, Idaho, for activities such as hiking, running, or stargazing. Pullman and Moscow are situated approximately 10 miles apart.
Further details regarding Kohberger’s whereabouts will be disclosed once prosecutors provide the discovery evidence that was previously requested, according to the document.
A comprehensive gag order has been issued, prohibiting prosecutors, defense attorneys, and legal representatives for the victims’ families and witnesses from making any public statements beyond what is already in the public record.
This filing marks the latest development in the high-profile case against Kohberger, who stands accused of fatally stabbing four Idaho college students in the early hours of November 13, 2022. A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf last May, and his defense team has indicated that they intend to present an alibi as part of their defense strategy.
Kohberger’s public defenders have repeatedly mentioned their client’s purported habit of taking extended solo drives late at night. In an August filing, they stated, “Mr. Kohberger is not claiming to be at a specific location at a specific time.”
Wednesday’s filing, which outlines Kohberger’s alibi, had been anticipated for several months. Idaho law mandates that a defendant must provide in writing “the specific place or places at which the defendant claims to have been at the time of the alleged offense and the names and addresses of the witnesses upon whom he intends to rely to establish such alibi.”
The judge overseeing Kohberger’s case had extended the submission deadline multiple times, most recently setting the Wednesday deadline during a hearing in late February.
Kohberger, aged 29, is facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in connection with the killings of Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20, at a residence just off the university’s main campus in Moscow.
