A recently unsealed defense motion in the capital murder case against Bryan Kohberger offers the most detailed picture of the suspect’s personality to emerge since his arrest in the brutal killings of four University of Idaho students.

Text messages from two surviving roommates in the University of Idaho student homicides and a transcript of the 911 call — both unsealed by the court Thursday afternoon — shed new insights into the morning when four college students were stabbed to death in November 2022.

Kohberger, 30, a former doctoral candidate studying criminology at Washington State University, is facing four counts of murder in the deaths of Goncalves, Chapin, Kernodle, and Mogen, who were found stabbed in their beds.
