BOISE, Idaho — Two women whose identification cards were found inside the Pennsylvania home of convicted killer Bryan Kohberger have been identified, according to a new disclosure from Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson.
The revelation came during a recent panel discussion with journalists from the Idaho Statesman, confirming for the first time the identities behind the IDs recovered early in the investigation. Authorities discovered the cards hidden inside a glove stored in a box in Kohberger’s bedroom at the home he shared with his parents.
While the existence of the IDs had previously been acknowledged in court documents, the owners of the IDs had not been named until now. According to Thompson, neither woman is connected to the four University of Idaho students Kohberger murdered in Moscow, Idaho. Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison for those killings.
Idaho Statesman reporters noted that one of the women had no known relationship with Kohberger, while the other had worked at the Pleasant Valley School District in Pennsylvania during a time when Kohberger was employed there as a security guard.
Investigators have reportedly contacted both women. “Both were shocked to find out Kohberger had their IDs,” according to the panel’s discussion.
Authorities have not confirmed how or why Kohberger obtained the IDs. The discovery has raised questions about whether Kohberger may have been stalking other potential victims prior to his move to Washington State, where he enrolled at Washington State University in Pullman shortly before the Idaho murders.
