Idaho investigators have released a trove of photos taken during the investigation into Bryan Kohberger, the former criminal justice student who is serving back-to-back life sentences for the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students.

Idaho State Police released hundreds of photos of what appear to be Kohberger's apartment and the rental house where he has admitted to killing Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20. The Nov. 13, 2022 murders shocked the quiet college town of Moscow and the country, sparking a nationwide manhunt for Kohberger that culminated in his arrest in Pennsylvania.

At the time of the murders, authorities said Kohberger had an apartment in Pullman, Washington, where he was a doctoral student at Washington State University, less than 10 miles from the University of Idaho.

Photos of what appear to be Kohberger's relatively bare apartment show stacks of books and papers related to criminal justice, an "improvement plan" from the university and several birthday cards. A few items of clothing, food and cleaning supplies can be seen in the cabinets and closets.

Inside an office that appeared to belong to Kohberger the message "Take it easy! Don't give up!" was scrawled in all-caps across a white board.

State investigators also released hundreds of photos taken at the residence at 1122 King Road, where the bodies of the students were discovered.

The photos bear many of the hallmarks of college life, including string lights both inside and out, red solo cups and cans of alcohol, and some clothes scattered on the floor. In one room, a neon sign reading "good vibes" was hung above a gold bar cart and in the kitchen, a fast food bag labeled "Xana" could be seen.

The photos are the latest in a steady stream of evidence in the high profile case that investigators have released since Kohberger's sentencing. Prosecutors and police were able to speak out for the first time afte a judge lifted a long-standing gag order in the case.

Family members of two of the victims have asked another judge to stop officials from releasing more graphic photos from the crime scene, the Associated Press reported.

“They are heartbreaking and continue to reopen a wound that has yet to heal,” Stacy Chapin, Ethan Chapin's mother, wrote in a court document obtained by the outlet.

In August, Judge Megan Marshall extended and broadened a temporary restraining order to prevent the release of photos from the victims' bedrooms, which will remain in force until a final decision is made, city administrator Bill Belknap told USA TODAY.
