Rewritten title: Bryan Kohberger’s defensive behavior caught on bodycam during police stop prior to Idaho murders

Newly released bodycam footage shows Bryan Kohberger being pulled over by a female officer one month before he allegedly killed four University of Idaho students. The footage, released by WSU on Thursday, shows the officer pulling over Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra for running a red light. Kohberger, a criminology PhD student from Washington State University, goes on the defensive and questions the officer’s version of events, stating that he was stuck in the intersection. The officer explains that drivers should not enter an intersection if they are unable to exit it before the light turns red. A month later, on 13 November, Kohberger is accused of murdering Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves, who were found stabbed to death in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger was arrested on 30 December and has been charged with their murders. Newly released court documents show that two items seized from his apartment, a mattress cover, and an uncased pillow, tested positive for blood, but it is not known whose blood it is. Kohberger’s DNA was found on a knife sheath left behind at the scene of the murders. It remains unclear what, if any, connection Kohberger had to the victims prior to the attack.
