Bryan Kohberger Was Investigated for Break-In 1 Year Before Idaho Murders

LATAH COUNTY, IDAHO, AUG 5 – Bryan Kohberger was investigated for a 2021 Pullman break-in with similarities to the Idaho murders but was not charged after police found no evidence linking him to the case.

  • Investigators disclosed Bryan Kohberger may have entered 1122 King Road at least 20 times before the November 13, 2022 murders, potentially breaking in prior to the rampage.
  • On October 10, 2021, a burgundy ski-masked intruder with a knife entered a Pullman, Washington, house at 3:30 a.m., eight months before Kohberger enrolled at Washington State University.
  • Authorities eventually deemed the inquiry inactive after the Pullman Police Department reviewed the 2021 case, with Sergeant Christopher Engle citing lack of evidence as the reason.
  • This month, Bryan Kohberger will remain confined in J Block at Idaho Maximum Security Institution, with a $50,000 fine per count and $5,000 civil penalties ordered by District Court Judge Steven Hippler.
  • Investigators also found more than 300 investigatory records were released after a gag order was lifted, with evidence suggesting Kohberger stalked other potential victims, says Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson.
