Bryan Kohberger Reportedly Posed Idaho Four Victims’ Bodies After Brutal Murders

Convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger reportedly posed the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen after murdering the college students in a Moscow, Idaho, house, according to autopsy reports.

“The evidence suggests that after both victims were killed or unresponsive they were posed in their shared bed,” crime scene expert Dr. Brent Turvey theorized in the unsealed documents, obtained by People for a story published on Tuesday, January 27. “Kaylee was moved from a position with her head on her pillow to partially atop of Madison. Then the comforter was placed over them both.”

The friends, both 21, were sharing a bed at the time of the quadruple murders as Goncalves had moved out of the off-campus home but was visiting for the weekend.

Prosecutors claimed Turvey’s theory was “a possibility, but not a determination,” adding that it would be impossible to know Kohberger’s intention.

According to People, Turvey’s theory was determined based on blood found on a pillow belonging to Goncalves. The women each suffered dozens of stab wounds to the scalp, face and neck. The autopsy also determined that neither Goncalves nor Mogen were “upright or moving” during the attack, as their feet were free of blood.

Kohberger, 31, a former criminology student at Washington State University, was charged with the November 2022 murders of Goncalves, Mogen, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Xana Kernodle, 20. He ultimately accepted a plea deal that would see him plead guilty to the charges in order to avoid the death penalty. He is currently serving four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole in Idaho.
