Though the motive behind Bryan Kohberger's violent attack remains unknown, the former police chief says "new information could come out still."

Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for killing Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Will we ever know his motive?

The facility is about 20 minutes outside Boise, where Kohberger appeared in court Wednesday to be sentenced to four consecutive life sentences plus 10 years for the fatal stabbings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

The former criminal-justice doctoral student convicted in the 2022 stabbing deaths of four Idaho college students appeared in court for sentencing on Wednesday with uncertainty surrounding whether he would disclose a motive for the killings.

Bryan Kohberger received four life terms after the victims’ families and friends faced him in court. He declined to speak, and investigators said they remained mystified by his motives.

Bryan Kohberger, 30, a former criminal-justice doctoral student, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole or appeal under a deal with prosecutors that spared him the death penalty in return for his guilty plea to four counts of first-degree murder.
