Bryan Kohberger traffic stop video shows Idaho killer driving white Hyundai linked to murders
The records, released by the Latah County Prosecutor's Office, show deputies pulling Kohberger over for speeding and not wearing his seat belt on Aug. 21, 2022 at 11:40 p.m.
He was seen in the same car prosecutors said he used to drive to an Idaho house on Nov. 13, 2022, where he killed University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He pleaded guilty to those murders and was sentenced to life in prison earlier this month.
According to the Idaho Statesman, prosecutors wanted to show the video to jurors in order to show that he owned a white Hyundai Elantra, the car he drove to the victims' house, according to prosecutors. The traffic stop was performed by the Latah County Sheriff's Office.
Latah County Sheriff's Office Deputy Darren Duke wrote in his report that Kohberger was going 7 miles over the speed limit.
"I stopped the vehicle for speeding, 42 mph in a 35 mph zone, confirmed patrolled speed at 29 mph," wrote Duke. "Driver stated he was not aware of the speed limit. I noticed he was not wearing his seat belt and he acknowledged that he was not. I cited him for the seat belt and warned him for the speed."
During the traffic stop, Kohberger admitted to not wearing his seat belt, telling the officer "I'm just being honest with you."
Duke ended up only citing Kohberger for not wearing a seat belt and gave him a warning for speeding. In Idaho, the penalty for not wearing a seat belt is $10.
When Kohberger was pulled over, he was a Ph.D. criminology student at Washington State University, which is around 7 miles from the University of Idaho.

Central Texas man charged in fiery crash that killed 5 Dallas-area women on birthday trip, DPS says
A Central Texas man is facing five counts of manslaughter after a fiery crash near Austin last month killed five Dallas-area women on a birthday trip, authorities said Wednesday. Kody Lane Talley, 37, of Leander, is being held on a $1 million bond in the Burnet County Jail, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. The crash happened about 6 p.m. on July 25 on U.S. 281 near Park Road 4 in Burnet County. Talley was driving a 2018 Ram 4500 pickup truck pulling a livestock trailer northbound when he veered into the southbound lanes. DPS said his truck struck a Chevrolet Malibu head-on, then collided with a Mercedes SUV, which overturned and caught fire. All five occupants of the SUV — Thalia Salinas, Ruby Cruz, Brianna Valadez, Desiree Cervantez, and Jacqueline Velazco Ventura — were pronounced dead at the scene. The victims, all in their early 20s, were on a weekend trip to the Central Texas community of Kingsland to celebrate Salinas' 23rd birthday. Salinas' family told CBS News Texas the five were like sisters and had been friends since middle school. "Words can't describe how devastated we are," the family said in a statement. "We were en route to celebrate Thalia's birthday in Kingsland, Texas, at her favorite place — on the lake — with all her favorite people. Then we got news of the girls' passing away in the worst accident we could ever imagine. We will never recover from losing Thalia, Brianna, Ruby, Jacki,e and Desi." GoFundMe accounts have been established for each of the five families to help cover funeral and memorial expenses. The investigation into the crash is continuing, DPS said.
