Chilling new images show the inside of the dreary and desolate college apartment in which Bryan Kohberger lived at the time he slaughtered four University of Idaho students three years ago.
The eerie evidence photos taken in the aftermath of the quadruple homicide captured barren walls, near-empty closets, stripped shelves and a curtainless shower inside the killer’s one-bedroom apartment at Washington State University, where had been pursuing a PhD in criminology.
The trove of images released by Idaho State Police also showed the convicted creep left behind a trail of personal belongings before fleeing the state, including criminology books, graded papers, seven parking tickets, election pamphlets, and a disciplinary letter from the university.
Some of the books pictured included “Unsafe in the Ivory Tower: The Sexual Victimization of College Women,” “Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free,” and “A Trial by Jury.”
Investigators also found two birthday cards he received marking his 28th birthday less than two weeks after the Nov. 13, 2022, slayings.
One card appeared to be from the psycho killer’s parents.
“A son leaves your home but never leaves your heart. He discovers his own happiness which, in turn, becomes yours,” the yellow card, adorned with flowers, read.
The second card, addressed to “Bryern,” showed a cartoon of President Theodore Roosevelt on a dinosaur. The personal message inside was redacted.
In another unsettling photo, a whiteboard in his office bore the messages “TAKE IT EASY!” and “DON’T GIVE UP,” written in black marker.
Kohberger in July took a surprise plea deal just weeks before his highly anticipated trial was set to kick off. The deal saw him skirt the possibility of the death penalty, enraging some of the families of his victims and leaving loved ones with no explanation for why he committed the heinous murders.
He copped to killing Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Ethan Chapin on Nov. 13, 2022, in their off-campus house in Moscow.
Kohberger is serving four life sentences at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution in Kuna.
