Idaho student murders: Housemate of victims woken by crying and saw masked man in black clothing, police say
A woman who lived in the same house where four University of Idaho students were murdered says she saw a masked man in black clothing walking towards her, according to an investigator.
The unidentified housemate said she awoke to the sound of crying and opened her second-floor door around 4am and stood in “frozen shock” as the man walked past her towards a back door, court documents showed.
After seeing the male, she locked herself in her room.
The housemate, who was not harmed in the attack, described the male as 5ft 10in or taller, “not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows”.
The court documents also revealed investigators found a tan leather knife sheath at the scene that had a single source of the suspect’s DNA on the button snap.
It comes after Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology student, was flown from Pennsylvania where he was arrested to Idaho yesterday.
He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary.
