Bryan Kohberger Seemingly Captured Inside His Prison Cell in Newly Leaked Video That Has Launched a Police Investigation
Kohberger was convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students NEED TO KNOW Bryan Kohberger was seemingly seen inside his prison cell in a newly leaked video that has launched a police investigation The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) said the clip could be "fake or AI-enhanced" Kohberger was convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students Police are looking into a video that seemingly shows Bryan Kohberger, who was convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students, in his jail cell. The Idaho Department of Correction (IDOC) issued a statement on Friday, Aug. 15, after the video circulated online. Authorities said they are 'aware' of the clip and 'investigating the matter.' The short video, which is angled from above, appears to show Kohberger, 30, in a cell, wearing a white shirt and black pants. The subject walks from one side of the jail cell to another, and then places an item on top of a makeshift rack. The IDOC said that they are unable to 'confirm the veracity of the videos," adding that they could be 'fake or AI-enhanced.' Authorities also said that should the videos be found to be legitimate, then the 'parties responsible' violated IDOC policy and would "be held accountable.' According to the IDOC, leadership has sent two emails to staff on July 23 and July 25, reminding them of their policies when it comes to the 'appropriate' usage of 'technology and social media.' 'Videotaping and publicly sharing security footage is prohibited conduct and we will be reviewing all legal options, including criminal prosecution,' the IDOC said in its statement. 'The safety and security of our staff and incarcerated population remain our top priority.' On the same day, the Ada Sherriff's Office (ASO) in Boise shared a statement online, stating that they were also aware of the footage circulating online. The department confirmed it was 'not recorded at and does not feature' the Ada County Jail, which is where the convicted killer spent time prior to his sentence. After his sentencing, Kohberger was transferred to a maximum security prison located near the city of Kuna. According to a recent report from the Daily Mail, Kohberger complained to prison guards about being taunted by fellow inmates. Chris McDonough, a retired homicide detective who now works for the Cold Case Foundation, told the outlet that 'the inmates are tormenting him at night and almost all hours of the day… through the vents in his cell.'

A spokesperson for the IDOC told PEOPLE in a statement: "We are aware of Kohberger's complaints about what he considers taunting. Incarcerated individuals commonly communicate with each other in prison.' "Bryan Kohberger is housed alone in a cell, and IDOC security staff maintain a safe and orderly environment for all individuals in our custody," the spokesperson added. Kohberger was sentenced to four lifetimes in prison without parole after confessing to the murders of the four students: Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20. The four were found brutally stabbed to death inside a Moscow home on Nov. 13, 2022. Read the original article on People
