The November 13 slayings of 4 students at the University of Idaho were being meticulously worked on by the Moscow Police, the FBI, and the Idaho state police. And many of the facts of the case weren’t made public. But from the start, DNA and public video of a white Elantra linked to the murder.

A 28-year-old suspect, Bryan Kohberger, was arrested at his parent’s home in Pennsylvania on Friday. And he was extradited to Idaho on Wednesday. On Thursday he had his first appearance in an Idaho courtroom where the Probable Cause Affidavit was publicly released. And the investigation revealed multiple areas where Kohberger was linked to the murders.

Kohberger, a Ph.D. student in Washington State’s department of criminal justice and criminology, was living less than 10 miles from the murder scene in Moscow, Idaho.

The murders appear to take have taken place at 4 a.m. and 4:25 am., according to the court documents.

The Probable Cause filing described how Moscow police asked law enforcement to look out for a white Elantra, and on Nov. 29, a Washington State University police officer searched cars that matched that description at the university, and a car registered to Kohberger was found.
