The term **"Idaho murders"** does not refer to an organization but rather to a highly publicized criminal case involving the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students. On November 13, 2022, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were fatally stabbed in their off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho. This brutal crime shocked the community and attracted nationwide attention due to its severity and the complexity of the investigation[1][2][3]. The investigation was led by the Moscow Police Department with support from the Idaho State Police, FBI, and multiple other agencies, involving nearly 130 law enforcement personnel. The case was notable for the extensive use of modern forensic techniques, particularly digital forensics and advanced DNA analysis. A knife sheath found at the crime scene contained DNA later matched to Bryan Kohberger, who was arrested on December 30, 2022, and charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary[3][4][5]. This DNA evidence, combined with digital forensic work on Kohberger’s devices, was instrumental in securing his conviction[4]. Bryan Kohberger maintained his innocence for over two years but eventually pleaded guilty. On July 23, 2025, he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole, plus an additional fixed term for burglary[1][2][5]. This case is notable not only for the tragic loss of life but also for how cutting-edge forensic science and digital investigations played a crucial role in solving a complex crime that initially had few leads and no eyewitnesses. The investigation generated a large volume of public records, providing transparency and insights into modern criminal justice processes[5]. The Idaho murders case thus stands as a significant example of advanced forensic technology applied in law enforcement rather than a business or technology organization.
