The case prompted fear and anxiety in the community and [student body](https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/28/us/idaho-university-stabbing-monday/index.html), and questions mounted about the pace of the police investigation. Moscow police say they have worked with a property management services company to remove “potential biohazards and other harmful substances used to collect evidence,” the update said. Some of the victims had defensive wounds, a coroner has said. “In particular, this study seeks to understand the story behind your most recent criminal offense, with an emphasis on your thoughts and feelings throughout your experience,” the post said. “I knew that they would, but it’s just taking so long, and I’m so happy for their families and everybody that’s been worried that all the students, everybody that may not have come back to school,” she said. “We also want to extend our deepest sympathies to the families, friends, and Vandal colleagues who were impacted by these murders,” Chilton said. While he was being watched, investigators from the Moscow Police Department, the Idaho State Police homicide bureau, and the FBI worked with prosecutors to develop sufficient probable cause to obtain the warrant. Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry said at the news conference an Elantra has been located, but investigators are still looking for the knife used in the killings. “Sometime right before Christmas we were zeroing in on him being in or going to Pennsylvania,” the source told CNN. Once potential family matches were found, subsequent investigative work by law enforcement led to the identification of Kohberger, according to the source. Genetic genealogy helped investigators identify the suspect, a source with knowledge of the case said. Kohberger’s DNA has also been matched to genetic material recovered at the off-campus house where the students were stabbed to death, according to the sources.

Kohberger was charged with the murder counts and felony burglary over the 13 November slayings and appeared Friday morning before a judge in Pennsylvania, Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry. According to school records, he obtained an associate arts degree from Northampton Community College in Albrighstville, PA before graduating from DeSales University in May with a masters degree in criminal justice. The four University of Idaho students were found in an off-campus house the three young women shared just blocks from campus. “This is what we wanted,” said Cheryl Goncalves, grandmother of Kaylee. Prior to his arrest, Mr Fry said the department had received over 19,000 tips and conducted 300 interviews. Police spent the following weeks parceling out only sparing details as online sleuths seized upon the case and, at times, victim relatives criticised law enforcement for a lack of information.

Over the next few days, police released a slow drip of new details. Officers later said that Mogen and Goncalves “used a private party” for a ride home from the downtown area after visiting the food truck. “If you have friends, family or loved ones in Moscow our family encourages you to get them home.” A white Hyundai Elantra was also seized.
