Timeline of Idaho murder scene clean-up was an ‘unforced error’: Chris Swecker
Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker joined ‘Fox & Friends First’ to discuss the latest on Bryan Kohberger’s arrest and what the Twitter Files reveal about how the Democrats reportedly pressured the social media platform.
STROUDSBURG, Pa. – Idaho suspect Bryan Christopher Kohberger is on his way to Moscow to face charges for the murders of four University of Idaho students, a source told Fox News.
Kohberger, 28, left Monroe County Prison in Pennsylvania, according to Warden Garry Haidle. “He is no longer in my custody,” Haidle said. “He is in the custody of the Pennsylvania State Police.”
A law enforcement source told Fox News’ Alexis McAdams that Idaho and Pennsylvania authorities are working together to transport him by plane.
The Washington State University Ph.D. student waived extradition at a hearing in Monroe County Court Tuesday afternoon.

Judge Margherita Worthington asked Kohberger in court as his distraught parents and two sisters looked on from the gallery if he waived his right to challenge his arrest for the quadruple homicide.
“Yes, I do,” he replied, wearing a red jail-issue jumpsuit and shackles on his wrists.
Kohberger was arrested by local police and the FBI Friday at his parents’ home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.

As police desperately searched for a suspect, Kohberger wrapped up the semester, then drove cross-country with his father in his white Hyundai Elantra to Pennsylvania for winter break.
Moscow police had been looking for a 2011 to 2013 white Hyundai Elantra that was spotted near the crime scene at the time of the murders.

The FBI, in partnership with other law enforcement agencies, used genetic genealogy to track down Kohberger then match his DNA to a sample he left at the crime scene, a law enforcement source told Fox News.
Kohberger could face the death penalty of convicted of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.

His Pennsylvania attorney, who only represented him for the extradition matter, said Kohberger believes he will be exonerated.
His family also issued a statement saying they stand behind their son while recognizing the suffering of the victims’ families.
