Bryan Kohberger's attorneys face deadline to submit alibi details for night of Idaho murders
LATAH COUNTY, Idaho — Attorneys for accused killer Bryan Kohberger have until Wednesday to formally submit documents related to his alibi for the night of the Idaho college murders.
The judge requested that Kohberger’s lawyers provide additional details about the former PhD student’s alibi the night four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus home.

Over the summer, Kohberger’s lawyers claimed in a court filing the suspected murderer was instead driving around alone — as he often did — in the late evening and early morning hours when the murders were committed in November 2022.
They added he is not claiming to be at a specific location at a specific time and said they had no specific witness to say precisely where he was at each moment.
The judge entered a “not guilty” plea on the Pennsylvania native’s behalf.

The lack of details and inability to corroborate Kohbeger’s whereabouts were criticized by Latah County’s top prosecutor Bill Thompson, who called the alibi “vague.”
The judge agreed, referring to it as a “so-called alibi” and “not really an alibi.”
“If Bryan Kohberger does not present an alibi, the defense is going to have to rebut the information and the evidence the state is putting forth, because if he doesn’t have an alibi, then he could potentially have been at the murder scene,” said Channa Lloyd, an ABC News legal analyst and managing partner at the Cochran Firm.
The parents of victim Kaylee Goncalves told ABC News in part that they are “…frustrated by the delays that are ongoing in this case.” and that they are awaiting the alibi information.

Kohberger’s attorneys also need to provide a witness list and any evidence they want to present at the change of venue hearing next month, which is something the Goncalves family hopes is denied.
No trial date has been set yet.

DENVER (KDVR) — Three Colorado motorcyclists died on Tuesday in northern Idaho after a pickup truck driver, also from Colorado, hit all three while trying to pass another vehicle, according to the Idaho State Police.
The crash happened at about 4 p.m. Tuesday outside the town of Kooskia on U.S. 12, police said. The pickup truck driver, identified as a 60-year-old Colorado Springs woman, was headed west on the highway when she crossed the double yellow line in a no-passing zone while trying to pass another vehicle.
She then collided head-on with the three motorcycles that were headed east on the highway.
The three motorcyclists died at the scene. The Idaho County Coroner identified the motorcyclists as: Ethan Powers, 35, of Timnath, Jeremy Coleman, 45 of Berthoud, and Nathan McCormick, 26, of Loveland.
The Colorado Fraternal Order of Police later identified Coleman and Powers as a sergeant and deputy with the Larimer County Sheriff’s Office and McCormick as Coleman’s son-in-law.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, friends, coworkers, and the members of FOP Lodge 4 as they face the difficult days ahead,” the union said. “The law enforcement profession is built on service, sacrifice, and commitment to others. Sgt. Coleman and Deputy Powers dedicated their lives to protecting their community, and their impact will continue to be felt by those who had the privilege of serving alongside them.”
The truck driver was taken to a hospital for medical evaluation before being released then arrested. She was booked into the Idaho County Jail on probable cause for three counts of vehicular manslaughter, police said.
The following is a press release from the Idaho State Police:
The Idaho State Police (ISP) is investigating a three-fatality crash that occurred at approximately 4 p.m. on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, on U.S. Highway 12 near milepost 113 east of Kooskia.
The preliminary investigation indicates a 2019 Ford F-150 was traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 12 when the driver attempted to pass another vehicle in a marked no-passing zone. The pickup crossed the double yellow centerline and collided with three motorcycles traveling eastbound.
The three motorcyclists sustained fatal injuries and died at the scene.
The 60-year-old female driver of the Ford, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, was transported to a local hospital for medical evaluation. Following her release, she was arrested and booked into the Idaho County Jail on probable cause for three counts of vehicular manslaughter.
The Idaho County Coroner’s Office will identify the deceased and determine the cause and manner of death.
U.S. Highway 12 was closed for approximately six and one-half hours while emergency responders assisted at the scene and investigators processed evidence.
ISP was assisted by the Idaho County Sheriff’s Office, the Idaho County Coroner’s Office, the Idaho Transportation Department, and local fire and EMS personnel.
The crash remains under investigation.
