BOISE, IDAHO - JULY 23: Bryan Kohberger appears at
the Ada County Courthouse for his sentencing
hearing on July 23, 2025 in Boise, Idaho.
Kohberger pleaded guilty in exchange for being
spared the death penaltyfor the stabbing of four
University of Idaho students nearly three years
ago. He faces up to four life sentences in prison.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — The prosecutor tasked with
putting convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger behind
bars revealed that Kohberger had kept personal
items belonging to women from his past.

Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson told the
Idaho Statesman that authorities found "ID-type
cards" belonging to two women who Kohberger knew
years before he brutally killed four University of
Idaho students in November 2022. The ID cards were
found in a glove in a box located at Kohberger's
parents home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania,
after he was arrested in December 2022.

One of the women previously worked with Kohberger
at the Pleasant Valley School District in
Pennsylvania. Kohberger, who graduated from the
district's high school in 2013, worked as part
time security officer for the district from 2016
through 2021. His parents were also employed by
the school with his father Michael working as a
maintenance worker and his mother MaryAnn, a
special needs paraprofessional.

Both women were reportedly "surprised" to learn
that Kohberger had their IDs in his possession but
told Thompson that they have never been "harmed or
threatened" by Kohberger. The identities of the
women have not been revealed.

Just a week ago, Kohberger was sentenced to life
in prison with no possibility of parole after
striking a plead deal with prosecutors to remove
the death penalty off the table. Kohberger's plea
deal prevents him from being able to seek an
appeal to his case. He was convicted of the
murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana
Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, who were all found
stabbed to death in their college rental.

Kohberger's motive for the murders remain unknown.
having declined to speak during his sentencing
hearing.

However Thompson said he believed that Kohberger's
intended target was either Mogen or Goncalves.

"I personally feel that, for whatever reason, he
targeted one of the young women on the third
floor," Thompson told ABC News. "The fact that he
found them together, whether that was planned,
we'll never know. It's more likely than not he did
not expect to encounter Xana and the others up and
about."
