Chief James Fry confirmed authorities have arrested Bryan Christopher Kohberger in Pennsylvania, but the knife used in the slayings has not been recovered.
The probable cause affidavit that preceded Kohberger’s shock arrest will remain sealed until he is extradited to Idaho. Thompson also verified earlier reports that Kohberger, 28, was being held without bond in Monroe County, Pa.. He is due at a hearing on his extradition on Jan. 3.
Kohberger’s arrest marked the first major turning point in the nearly seven-week investigation, which paralyzed the university town and garnered national attention as law enforcement appeared to be struggling to find a suspect or leads in the case.Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson confirmed Bryan Kohberger’s charges of four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary.
Meanwhile, he reassured the public that the investigation into the events of Nov. 13 was still a priority.“The work is not done,” he insisted. “In fact, it just started.” Fry and Thompson were also joined by University of Idaho President Scott Green, who called the arrest “a relief” to the community. Towards the end of the press conference, Fry confirmed that heightened law enforcement presence would continue in Moscow for the foreseeable future.
