MOSCOW, IDAHO: A Federal Bureau of Investigation surveillance team reportedly directed Indiana police to pull over Bryan Kohberger and his father on December 15 after tracking them on their cross-country road trip from Washington State to Pennsylvania.

The 28-year-old Idaho quadruple murder suspect and his father, Michael Kohberger were pulled over twice within a nine-minute timespan on I-70 while making a 2,500-mile cross-country trip. A law enforcement source told Fox News that the FBI surveillance team had asked police to stop Kohbergers to gather video images of Bryan as well as his hands to build a concrete case for making an arrest. Bryan was arrested on December 30 from his parent’s Poconos house. He has been charged in connection to the killings of Kaylee Gonvalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, in their off-campus home on November 13, 2022.

The Indiana police department has also released body cam footage of their deputies stopping Kohberger’s vehicle on December 15. In one footage, a Hancock County Police officer is seen pulling over the suspect for driving too close to another vehicle. The footage also showed Kohbergers discussing an incident near Washington State University where a SWAT team killed an armed man amid a standoff. “Well, we're coming from WSU," Michael says. "So you're coming from Washington State University, and you're going where?" the deputy asks. To which senior Kohberger replies "We're going to Pennsylvania,"



 

Bryan Kohberger arrived in Moscow after agreeing to his extradition

The Washington University graduate landed in Moscow in handcuffs at Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. The plane carrying the suspect Pilatus PC-12 jet owned by Pennsylvania Police landed at the airport around Wednesday night, January 3. According to Daily Mail, as soon as the suspect landed in Moscow, he was surrounded by cops as it rolled to a halt following a journey of almost 12 hours.



 

Koherberger agreed to be extradited to Idaho from Pennsylvania in an earlier 10-minute hearing on Tuesday afternoon in Monroe County. "Yes," Kohberger said when Judge Margherita Worthington asked if he wishes to "waive the rights that I have just explained to you and return to the state of Idaho?" The judge has also passed a gag order to prohibit investigators as well as lawyers from both sides from speaking publicly about the ongoing case.



 

“On January 3, 2023, Latah County Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall issued a nondissemination order in regard to the murder case against Bryan C Kohberger. The order prohibits any communication by investigators, law enforcement personnel, attorneys, and agents of the prosecuting attorney or defense attorney concerning this case.” Moscow police shared in a statement.
