A suspect in the killings of four University of Idaho students was arrested in eastern Pennsylvania, a law enforcement official said Friday.
Arrest paperwork filed by Pennsylvania State Police in Monroe County Court said Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, was being held for extradition in a criminal homicide investigation based on an active arrest warrant for first degree murder issued by the Moscow Police Department and Latah County Prosecutor's Office.
The students -- Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin -- were stabbed to death at a rental home near campus sometime in the early morning hours of Nov. 13. The slayings initially mystified law enforcement, with investigators unable to name a suspect or locate a murder weapon for weeks.
Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho; Mogen, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Kernodle, 20, of Post Falls, Idaho; and Chapin, 20, of Mount Vernon, Washington, were members of the university's Greek system and close friends. Mogen, Goncalves and Kernodle lived in the three-storey rental home with two other roommates. Kernodle and Chapin were dating and he was visiting the house that night.
The stabbing deaths shook the small town of Moscow, Idaho, a farming community of about 25,000 people -- including roughly 11,000 students -- tucked in the rolling hills of the northern Idaho's Palouse region.
