Case Pack: The Idaho Four Murders (Kohberger)

A plain-English guide to the Idaho Four murders case: the timeline, the people and the court record, through the latest public developments.

On November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin — were killed in Moscow, Idaho. Bryan C. Kohberger pleaded guilty to all counts on July 2, 2025, and was sentenced on July 23, 2025, to four consecutive life terms without parole. A post-conviction petition filed in 2026 is pending; its claims are allegations, not findings.
