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.”

Hmmm...Just because he is from PA means absolutely nothing aside from the fact that he fled back home to PA after committing the murders.

According to news reports, the suspect is a graduate student at Washington State Universityy which is only 8 miles from the University of Idaho.

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

Actually, one of the first reports I heard this a.m. about this story was that he was a student at Washington State University at Pullman, WA. My youngest daughter graduated from WSU and the University of Idaho is just a few miles down the road from WSU.

The thing that interested me most about the report was that he was studying Criminology. Perhaps he was seeing if he could commit the perfect crime and not get caught.

It was reported he is a phd student at the University of Washington.

No, Washington State University. Campus is on the east side of the mountains. A short distance from University of Idaho.

Yep, I could certainly believe that was a big factor.

If he’s done security work, he’s been fingerprinted. He has a bachelor and master’s degree and if he’s done any consulting or intern work for state, Federal or local gov’t, he’s been fingerprinted.

Black college was rows of black female students clapping...... YES, we got one over whitey,

The entire student body of the law school of Howard University, an historically black college, stood and cheered when the OJ verdict was read. Those idiots are now probably prosecutors in Chicago, DC and other large Dim-run cities.

Washington is a 21 state for drinking. Idaho is 18. So a bunch of Wasu’s come to Moscow to suck suds. Many can’t handle it. Been there. Seen it. Adjusted the attitudes of a few my own self.

At 28 this guy is old enough to be a Vet and still have done a 4 year degree. Might explain the knife skill set. But I hope not.

Ja.

Switzerland is trilingual (French, German, and Italian) but the Amish and Mennonites originated from the German speaking Cantons.

“Perfect crime”
A few years ago we had a PHD student at the University of Illinois who figured out he would never make it big in his field and decided to do the “Perfect Crime”. He picked up a Chinese student newly in the country, sliced her up and put her in the garbage. It was hard to find him until he mentioned his activity to a girl friend. They sent him away for life.

According to an aunt, he had eating habits “beyond vegan” - he wouldn’t eat from pans that meat had been cooked in.
