Police in Monroe County Pa., have arrested a man in the fatal stabbings of four sleeping students at the University of Idaho last month.

The killings discovered Nov. 13 at the off-campus apartment house shocked people across the nation. The town had not had a single murder in seven years prior to the quadruple murder.

Arrest paperwork filed in Monroe County Court obtained by the Associated Press said Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was being held for extradition to Idaho on a warrant for first-degree murder.

The students, three of whom lived together about a mile from their campus, were: Kaylee Concalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Chapin was Kernodle’s boyfriend who was staying overnight.

State and federal sources confirmed to PennLive that a person in Monroe County, in northeastern Pa., was arrested in connection with the killings.

Kohberger was arraigned Friday morning in Monroe County. National news outlets previously said he was 25 years old.

The Moscow Police Department in Idaho is holding a press conference on Friday at 1 p.m., their time, which would be 4 p.m. EST.

The break in the case came on the same day the rental home was expected to be cleaned up after the horrific crime.

Two other roommates were home asleep on the ground floor during the killings but slept through it and were not harmed. The victims were on the second and third floors, according to ABCNews.

Earlier in the investigation, police were looking for a white Elantra that was seen in Moscow at about 3:45 a.m. The killings were believed to have occurred around 3 a.m., an hour or more after the victims returned from a local bar and a fraternity party.

Gonclaves’ mother told ABCNews she believed the killer was “very methodical. I think he really thought it out. I think he was quick. I think it was quiet. And he got in and he got out.”

Kohberger is a German name...definitely NOT "Amish"!

“Pennsylvania Ping!”

Sorry, but there is NO REASON for a person from Pennsylvania to kill students in Idaho. Absolutely NO REASON.

Not “Amish” in the FR usage, but classic Amish are German, just in case.

Did he party with them? That might explain the motive somewhat.

Can’t wait for the slough (slew?) of podcasts and Netflix specials to come out proclaiming the suspect’s (and/or convicted perpetrator’s) innocence, making him the new cause celebre du jour, how it’s IMPOSSIBLE for him to have committed the crimes, the police corruption involved, rush to judgment and all the usual MMQB crap the left pulls since way before OJ gutted his wife and her BF like sardines in tomato sauce.

Got some popcorn around here somewhere…

I hope it’s the right killer. Something led them to this guy. He needs the death penalty then revived and executed again for each of the victims

Just a lover’s quarrel, but it will be blamed on white supremacy, Trump supporting, anti-homosexual, neo-Nazi pro second amendment white male.
