Serial killer stopped by cops three months before murders in chilling footage
Bryan Kohberger, 30, is serving life in prison without parole (Image: Idaho Department of Corrections) Chilling police bodycam footage has surfaced showing the moment Bryan Kohberger - now convicted of murdering four University of Idaho students - was pulled over for speeding just months before the brutal killings. The video, captured in August 2022, shows a Latah County Sheriff's deputy stopping Kohberger on the Pullman-Moscow Highway, which links Washington State and Idaho. Kohberger, then a PhD criminology student, was driving a white Hyundai Elantra - the same car later connected to the crime. The footage was originally set to be used at trial, but was made public after Kohberger accepted a plea deal.

"Hey there, I stopped you going a little fast. You realize this is 35?" Kohberger replied, shaking his head several times, "Oh, it's 35? I was going about 41, about that," before handing over his documents. During the stop, Kohberger also acknowledges he hadn't been wearing a seatbelt. "No point in not being honest," he says calmly when questioned. The deputy issues him a $10 citation for the seatbelt violation but lets the speeding slide. Kohberger appears cooperative but becomes slightly defensive when asked for a contact number, insisting he was being upfront. "Just for future reference, I mean I'm obviously an obvious person. I told you I wasn't wearing my seatbelt," Kohberger says. "But people lie to you about that, say I lied to you about that...," he adds. He then asks Deputy Duke if he "usually" looks to see if drivers are wearing seatbelts. Kohberger pleaded guilty in exchange for being spared the death penalty (Image: Getty Images) The officer chuckles, replying "I should," and the video ends with the officer letting him off with a warning for the speeding and telling him to have a good night. Less than three months later, on November 13, 2022, Kohberger broke into a rental home near the University of Idaho campus in Moscow and fatally stabbed four students - Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, both 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20. The murders shocked the nation and led to a six-week manhunt, ending in Kohberger's arrest at his parents' home in Pennsylvania.

He was sentenced to life in prison without parole last week, as families of the victims gave powerful impact statements. Kohberger declined to address the court, simply saying: "Respectfully decline." He will serve his sentence at Idaho's Maximum Security Institution.

New Bryan Kohberger bodycam shows Idaho murderer pulled over THREE months before bloodbath
Newly released police bodycam footage revealed Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger being pulled over just three months before he slaughtered four college students. The 30-year-old killer, who was sentenced to life in prison last week, was seen being pulled over by a Latah County Sheriff's deputy in August 2022 after he was caught speeding on Pullman-Moscow Highway - the road that connects Washington and Idaho. Snippets of the footage were set to be shown during his capital murder trial, but after he accepted a plea deal, the clip, obtained by Idaho Statesman, was approved for release by Judge Steven Hippler. In the video, Deputy Darren Duke was seen walking up to Kohberger's Hyundai Elantra before having him lower his window to tell him why he was pulled over. Duke said: 'Hey there, I stopped you going a little fast. You realize this is 35?' 'Oh, it's 35?,' Kohberger replied as he shook his head several times. 'I was going about 41, about that,' he added before handing over his license, registration and insurance to the officer.
