The man accused of killing four students at the University of Idaho arrived in court in Pennsylvania on Tuesday as prosecutors prepare to bring him to Idaho to face murder charges.
In this handout provided by Monroe County Correctional Facility, a man named Bryan Christopher is pictured.
After arriving at the Monroe County Court in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, he was expected to be extradited to the United States. There is an hour and a half later.
The commonwealth of Pennsylvania must prove that he is the person on the arrest warrant and that he was in the area where the crimes took place.
LaBar told the Today show that he expects his client to waive the hearing and sign the paperwork necessary for his transfer from Pennsylvania to Idaho.
State law prevents the records from being released until he appears in court in Idaho, but once he is there, authorities can unseal the affidavit of probable cause.
The Idaho prosecutors charged him with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony breaking and entering, but he has not entered a plea.
He is looking forward to being cleared of any wrongdoing. The Washington Post quoted LaBar as saying that those were the words of the man.
Four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. A murder weapon has not been found and police remained tight-lipped on potential suspects, leading to thousands of tips being submitted before the arrest. Law enforcement sources told CNN that he owned a white car that was seen near the crime scene and that he was a student at Washington State University. They traveled from Washington to Pennsylvania by car in the middle of December. The same make and model of car was seized by authorities after he was arrested.
It is not known what connection Kohberger had to the victims. Steve Goncalves told ABC that while they were not familiar with the man, they had begun to see connections between him and his daughter.
Here is what we know about the accused suspect.
