Bryan Kohberger, the man who murdered four University of Idaho students in November 2022, was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He pleaded guilty to avoid the death penalty and did not speak in court. The victims' families delivered emotional statements, expressing a range of emotions from sadness and anger to forgiveness. While Kohberger's guilt is established, the motive for the crime remains a mystery. The investigation relied on DNA evidence, surveillance footage, and Kohberger's own actions, including attempts to cover his tracks. The case was highly publicized, leading to a gag order that was later lifted, revealing hundreds of court documents. Foundations have been established in the victims' names to honor their legacies.
