In the days after murdering four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home, Bryan Kohberger’s behavior shifted dramatically and investigators would later find that he had fixated on news coverage of the killings and began paying for items in cash – often wearing gloves – as he avoided the area of the murders.

The judge in a Boise court sentenced Brian Kohberger to life in prison for the murders of four University of Idaho students in 2022. The sentencing comes after the surviving roommates and the victims' families read emotional impact statements on how the killings have changed the lives of loved ones left in the wake of the brutal killings.
