FBI Returns to Scene of Idaho Student Murders for Additional Evidence as Trial Indefinitely Delayed
FBI seeks to create comprehensive visual, audio exhibits, and physical model of murder scene using both old and new measurements; Suspect Brian Kohberger's trial postponed indefinitely after he waived his right to a speedy trial.
- The FBI returned to the home in Idaho where Brian Kohberger allegedly murdered four University of Idaho students in November 2022, aiming to gather further evidence.
- In light of the indefinitely delayed trial of the suspect, the FBI plans to construct comprehensive visual and audio exhibits, as well as a physical model of the murder scene, using measurements and images taken after personal property was removed from the house.
- Kohberger's trial, initially planned for October, was postponed after the suspect waived his right to a speedy trial during an August court hearing.
- Despite the ongoing investigation, the University of Idaho still plans to demolish the house, though not within this semester, and wants to construct a 'healing garden' in its place.
- Critics of the house's demolition, such as the attorney for one victim's family, argue that the house itself holds critical evidence and consider it to be an essential piece of evidence in the case.
