An identification card linked to the November 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students was allegedly found in suspect Bryan Kohberger's car, according to a report. The claim was made on Chris Cuomo's NewsNation show on Thursday night, citing law enforcement sources.
Victims Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were stabbed to death in an off-campus house. Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology PhD student, was arrested six weeks later at his family home in Pennsylvania after driving cross-country in a car spotted near the crime scene.
Court documents previously revealed that police seized IDs from Kohberger's car, but did not specify to whom they belonged. Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer described the ID as a 'smoking license', similar to the knife sheath found at the scene with Kohberger's DNA on its clasp.
Investigators have also linked Kohberger to the murders via cell phone data placing him near the crime scene after the killings on 13 November. The murder weapon has not been recovered. Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary, and could face the death penalty if convicted.
Pennsylvania authorities are reportedly investigating Kohberger's potential involvement in other unsolved killings, according to NewsNation, citing unspecified law enforcement sources. The Latah County prosecutor's office declined to comment on the ID claim due to a gag order.
