Surveillance video recorded at a home near the Idaho student murders crime scene shows Bryan Kohberger’s car roaring away from the scene after he killed four University of Idaho undergrads in a home invasion stabbing attack in November 2022.

A white sedan, believed to be Kohberger’s Hyundai Elantra, appears repeatedly before the murders as he circled the neighborhood. Then it sped off in the aftermath as he floored it away from the scene and before he took a circuitous route home, with his phone turned off in an effort to obscure his whereabouts.

Portions of the video were previously leaked to Dateline. Fox News Digital obtained about an hour of video taken at 1112 King Road through a public records request following the lifting of a gag order on the case.

The video illustrates allegations that first surfaced in a probable cause affidavit unsealed after Kohberger’s arrest — which revealed that a neighbor’s camera picked up sounds of a struggle followed by a dog’s barking.

Kohberger has confessed to the murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20.

All but Kernodle are believed to have been asleep at the start of the murders, carried out with a Ka-Bar knife after a masked Kohberger crept into the house around 4 a.m. on Nov. 13, 2022.

While the murderous struggle is hard to hear in the video, the barking continued for several minutes and is unmistakable.

The killer, a former criminology Ph.D. student at the neighboring Washington State University, pleaded guilty in July, weeks before the case would have gone to trial.

He could have faced the death penalty if convicted by a jury.

Instead, Kohberger is serving four consecutive life sentences without parole, plus another 10 years. He waived his right to appeal and to seek a future sentence reduction.

Local school administrator named Idaho’s Superintendent of the Year – East Idaho News

REXBURG — A local school administrator has been named Idaho Superintendent of the Year for 2026, recognizing his work at Madison School District.

According to a news release from the Idaho Association of School Administrators, Randy B. Lords Jr., the superintendent of Madison School District 321, was selected to represent Idaho as a nominee for the National Superintendent of the Year award.

He became superintendent for the district in 2021, where he has focused on improving academics through new programs and fostering the well-being of students and staff.

Lords was chosen, according to the release, due to his work on three main points:

His support for career and technical education programs for students and for the use of an artificial intelligence-literacy program.
His work on fiscal responsibility, with a focus on the district’s future growth and maintenance of its facilities.
His work to improve parent and community involvement with the school district.

The ISAS executive director highlighted in the release Lords’ work to navigate the intricacies of leadership and improve the district’s academics.

“This recognition deeply humbles me, but this award belongs to the incredible faculty, staff and students of Madison School District,” Lords stated in the release. “Our success is a testament to the collaborative spirit of our community. I am honored to serve our families and will continue to work tirelessly to ensure every student has a world of opportunities at their fingertips.”
