Police release body cam footage of University of Idaho murder suspect, who was stopped twice while driving through Indiana and let off with a warning both times
- Indiana State Police released video of the man charged with murdering four University of Idaho students.
- The video is from a Dec. 15 traffic stop when the suspect and his father were pulled over for tailgating.
Indiana State Police released a video on Tuesday of a traffic stop involving the 28-year-old man charged with murdering four University of Idaho students last year.
The footage, from an officer's body camera, was recorded on December 15, 2022. In it, the suspect can be seen with his father, Michael Kohberger, in a white Hyundai Elantra sedan. The pair were stopped for allegedly tailgating a tractor-trailer.
The suspect is accused of stabbing to death four people at an off-campus apartment in Moscow, Idaho, in November. A 911 call reporting an unconscious person was made on November 13, 2022 — roughly a month before the suspect and his father were pulled over.
It was the second time that the pair were pulled over that day. Each time they were let off with a warning.
Idaho police had been looking for a white Hyundai Elantra, like the one the pair were driving, alleging that such a vehicle had been spotted near the scene of the November killings.
In the video released Tuesday and provided to Insider and other media outlets, an Indiana State Police officer can be heard commenting on the father and son's long journey across the country, which began in the state of Washington, where the suspect was attending school.
"Are you guys scared of airplanes?" the officer joked.
The suspect was arrested last Friday in Pennsylvania. On Tuesday, he agreed to be extradited to Idaho in order to face murder charges. A lawyer for the suspect has said he maintains his innocence.
