MOSCOW, IDAHO: Social media users are discussing how Bryan Kohberger managed to enter the house before stabbing the four University of Idaho students to death. "D.M. Initially woke up to what she thought was someone playing with the dog upstairs. This would be consistent with the intruder entering through the balcony of the 3rd floor room and trying to calm the dog from excitedly jumping etc. upon someone entering. This would also explain why the dog did not have any blood / evidence on it, if this was the initial entry," one user theorized. "An intruder could more likely bet on the top floor patio door being unlocked then the main floor to the house. It also would support the suspect parking his car on Queen road and entering through the back," they added.
One user wrote on Reddit, "He entered through the 2nd floor sliding door. LE have stated this many a time. If he had climbed up to the balcony level then LE would have discovered climbing marks on the timber structure and footprints on the balcony If he had used steps, they would have discovered footprints also." Another speculated, "I honestly think he may have been in the house before waiting." "I believe there are back stairs that lead to the third floor. The back part of the house was an add on forever ago according to a guy who used to live there who was interviewed," one user wrote.

The 28-year-old suspect has been accused of fatally stabbing University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, in their off-campus three-story rented home on November 13, 2022. Kohberger was arrested in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, on Friday, December 30.
It has been revealed that Kohberger returned to the crime scene area and may even have stalked their homes about 12 times before the attack. His cell phone pinged its location in the area of the house where the crimes were committed at around 9 am on November 13, which was just five hours after he killed the students, according to the New York Post.
Kohberger was arrested more than 2,000 miles away from where the murders took place and agreed to be extradited to Idaho from Pennsylvania. His lawyer reportedly said that he was shocked after being arrested and was reportedly planning to deny the murders. The weapon used to stab the students to death is believed to be a fixed-blade Ka-Bar-style knife. Kohberger, a PhD student in Washington State University’s Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology, was reportedly charged with four counts of murder in the first degree as well as felony burglary in connection with the deaths of the four students.
