Surveillance video recorded at a home near the Idaho student murders crime scene shows Bryan Kohberger’s car roaring away from the scene after he killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a home invasion stabbing attack in November 2022.
A white sedan, believed to be Kohberger’s Hyundai Elantra, appears repeatedly before the murders as he circled the neighborhood. Then it sped off in the aftermath as he floored it away from the scene and before he took a circuitous route home, with his phone turned off in an effort to obscure his whereabouts.
Portions of the video were previously leaked to Dateline. Fox News Digital obtained about an hour of video taken at 1112 King Road through a public records request following the lifting of a gag order on the case.

The video illustrates allegations that first surfaced in a probable cause affidavit unsealed after Kohberger’s arrest — which revealed that a neighbor’s camera picked up sounds of a struggle followed by a dog’s barking.
Kohberger has confessed to the murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

All but Kernodle are believed to have been asleep at the start of the murders, carried out with a Ka-Bar knife after a masked Kohberger crept into the house around 4 a.m. on Nov. 13, 2022.
While the murderous struggle is hard to hear in the video, the barking continued for several minutes and is unmistakable.

The killer, a former criminology Ph.D. student at the neighboring Washington State University, pleaded guilty in July, weeks before the case would have gone to trial.
He could have faced the death penalty if convicted by a jury.
