CHILLING video shows a calm-looking Bryan Kohberger shopping for groceries – only hours after he stabbed four University of Idaho students to death.
Cowardly Kohberger, 30, was given four life sentences in July for the killings that took place in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022.

He pleaded guilty to the killings just before his trial was due to start.
Video that was supposed to play during the trial showed Kohberger at the supermarket – hours after the students were killed.
Kohberger, wearing what looked like a green shirt and smart pants, tried to enter a Costco store in the afternoon of November 13, according to the video.
He was captured on the footage less than nine hours after stabbing Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.
But, he was blocked from going any further because he didn’t have his membership card.
Kohberger, who was holding a water bottle, was seen with his hand in his trouser pocket, seemingly trying to find the card.
He was seen locked in conversation with the door greeter before ultimately leaving the warehouse.
Kohberger, an ex-criminology student, was seen drinking from his plastic bottle as he left the superstore just after 12:30pm local time.
Other clips showed him hovering by the self-checkout station and using a machine.
Kohberger broke into the students’ home at around 4am via a sliding door in the kitchen.
Chilling snaps released by the Moscow Police Department showed handprints on a window, and there was blood on a bedroom door.
Kohberger stabbed Goncalves, 21, and Mogen, 20, who were sleeping in the same bed.
He initially looked in Goncalves’ room before discovering it was empty.
Kohberger then proceeded to look in the other bedrooms before stabbing the two girls.
The full details of Bryan Kohberger’s sentence
On July 23, 2025, Judge Steven Hippler sentenced Bryan Kohberger to the following:
Count 1: Burglary – 10 years fixed, zero years in determinate. $50,000 fine.
Count 2: First-degree murder of Madison Mogen: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
Count 3: First-degree murder of Kaylee Goncalves: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
Count 4: First-degree murder of Xana Kernodle: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
Count 5: First-degree murder of Ethan Chapin: Fixed term of life in prison without the possibility of parole. $50,000 fine and civil penalty of $5,000 payable to the family of the victim.
The sentencings will run consecutively to one another.
Cops revealed that Goncalves was left in an almost unrecognizable state after she was slaughtered.
“Kaylee was unrecognizable as her facial structure was extremely damaged,” a Moscow Police Department report said.
Goncalves was stabbed in the lung and liver.
She had two brain bleeds and was stabbed behind her clavicle.
The impact ended up slicing her vein and artery.
Cops also revealed how she had over 20 stab wounds and chillingly described the weapon used in the killing as a “single-edged and very sharp” blade.
Kohberger used a Ka-bar knife to carry out the murders – a weapon that he had previously mentioned while talking to a match on Tinder.
HORROR INJURIES
Meanwhile, Mogen was also stabbed in the lung and liver.
She also had a gash under her right eye.
Coroners also revealed the extent of Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle’s injuries after they were slaughtered.
Kernodle was left with more than 50 stab wounds.
Kohberger stabbed her in the lung and heart.
Meanwhile, Chapin’s jugular vein had been severed.
Cops believe the killings occurred over a 13-minute period.
Police said he drove away from the home at a high rate of speed.
HUNTING FOR THE KILLER
Cops spent six weeks hunting the then-murder suspect down before arresting Kohberger in December 2022.
Weeks before making the arrest, he and his dad were stopped for alleged traffic violations in Indiana.
Kohberger, who wasn’t driving, was first stopped for an alleged speeding offense before being pulled over by cops around ten minutes later.
He was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 30.
Kohberger had a blank stare when he was detained, according to NewsNation’s Brian Entin.
He also reportedly asked cops if anyone else was in custody over the killings.
Kohberger was charged with the murders and faced the death penalty before striking a plea deal.
He is serving his sentence at the notorious Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna.
The prison is home to some of the most violent criminals, including death row inmates.
Kohberger is in the lockup’s J Block, where he is forced to spend 23 hours a day behind bars.
Just weeks after being sentenced, sources told ABC News that the convict was being taunted by his fellow inmates.
