Kohberger, a Ph.D student who was studying criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, Wash. — which is less than a 20 minute drive away from the residence where thestudents were stabbed to death— was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania on Dec. 30.
Kohberger’s attorney in Pennsylvania, Monroe County Chief Public Defender Jason LaBar, toldCNNthat the suspect was in Pennsylvania for the holidays. He drove home with his father and arrived in the state on Dec. 17, the outlet reports.
On Tuesday, Kohberger made a brief court appearance in Pennsylvania andwaived extradition, which means he has voluntarily agreed to return to Idaho to face the charges against him. Once he is in Idaho, a probable cause affidavit will legally be allowed to be unsealed.
