BRYAN Kohberger was considered a person of interest in relation to an unsolved home invasion that occurred a year before he allegedly butchered four University of Idaho students. Koberger, who was arrested six weeks after the November 13, 2022, murders of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, was also being probed for an eerie similar case in Pullman, Washington.

On October 10, 2021, police responded to a home invasion call near Pullman, about 10 miles from where the four University of Idaho students were found stabbed to death in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. Bodycam footage showed Pullman police arriving at the home in the early hours of October 10, 2021, where a female victim explained that a ski mask-clad intruder entered her home with a knife.

"I heard my door open, and I looked over, and someone was wearing a ski mask and had a knife," the frightened woman told police, according to a video obtained by ABC News. "So, I like kicked the s**t out of their stomach and screamed super load, and they like flew back into my closet then ran out my door and up the stairs.".

The woman told cops the suspect entered her home at around 3:30 am and was silent the whole time, a police report said. However, Pullman police did not find any evidence or a potential suspect. Then, a potential breakthrough in the case came on December 30, 2022, when police in Moscow police announced the arrest of Kohberger, 29, in connection with the four college students' murders.
