A neighbor near the University of Idaho believes Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four students, tapped on his window early on November 13, 2022. The neighbor, also a college student, told police that he heard a tapping on his window shortly after returning home. This account adds a new layer to the investigation surrounding the tragic killings.
The young man was playing video games with his fraternity brothers until 4:30 a.m., according to a report from Idaho State Police. Afterward, he drove home and parked near 1122 King Road. Soon, he took his dog for a walk down the street, unaware of the horror occurring nearby. During the walk, he heard a dog barking and music playing but noticed nothing unusual.
His walk ended at a dead-end street located directly south of 1122 King Road. At that moment, the four students were being stabbed inside the house. The barking dog was likely Murphy, a Goldendoodle belonging to one of the victims, Kaylee Goncalves.
Upon returning home around 5 a.m., the neighbor went to bed. Then, just minutes later, he heard a tapping on the window next to his front door. Peering through the blinds, he saw no one outside. However, after learning about the murders, he thought the person outside might have been Kohberger.
This interview took place after investigators released a probable cause affidavit. That affidavit placed Kohberger speeding out of the neighborhood around 4:20 a.m., captured on a Ring camera. It also located him in Uniontown, Washington, by 5 a.m.—about 15 miles from Moscow.
Additionally, Kohberger’s phone pinged a cell tower near Genesee, south of Moscow, just before 5 a.m. He then made multiple phone calls to his mother, even during the drive back to the crime scene. Police entered the neighbor’s statement into evidence but have not publicly followed up on it.
The repeated reports of tapping on window create new questions about Kohberger’s movements that night. This detail may prove important as the case continues to unfold.
