Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger transferred to Boise prison

BOISE, Idaho – Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students, has been transferred from Moscow, Idaho, to the Ada County Jail in Boise, Idaho.

Kohberger was transported to Boise via Idaho State Police aircraft with tail number N121TD. He arrived at the Boise airport at 8:21 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 15. Captain Ryan Jensen of the Ada County Sheriff's Office said several factors were considered in Kohberger's transport.

“First and foremost, we wanted to do it in the safest and most efficient way possible. Thanks to a wonderful partnership with the Idaho State Police, we were able to utilize their aircraft because it just made the most sense given the distance and the complications that might have arisen with ground transportation,” said Captain Jensen.

KTVB obtained video from NBC of Kohberger leaving Moscow/Pullman Airport and also had a crew at the Boise Airport confirming his arrival and one at the Ada County Jail.

The trial venue was recently moved from Moscow to Boise after a judge ruled that Kohberger would have a better chance of a fair trial in Ada County because of extensive media coverage, misinformation and because Ada County has more resources.

Kohberger will remain in the Ada County Jail until his trial, scheduled for June 2025.

Kohberger is charged with four counts of murder and one count of burglary in connection with the deaths of Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen. The four students were found stabbed to death in a home on King Road near the University of Idaho-Moscow campus on November 13, 2022.
