The plane carrying Bryan Kohberger arrives in Pullman, Washington
MOSCOW, Idaho – Bryan Kohberger, the 28-year-old criminal justice student accused of killing four undergrads at a neighboring school, arrived at the Latah County Jail Wednesday evening, hours after authorities flew him out of Pennsylvania.
Police there and the FBI took him into custody on Dec. 30 after raiding his parents’ house in Albrightsville.
Kohberger faces four counts a first-degree murder and a felony burglary charge for allegedly entering a six-bedroom house and stabbing four University of Idaho students.
Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt has said the victims were likely sleeping at the time of the ambush. Only some of them had defensive wounds, she said.

After the attacks, Kohberger is believed to have finished the semester at Washington State University, about 7 miles away from the crime scene.
He was studying there for a Ph.D in the department of criminal justice and criminology and working as a TA.
