The Idaho Department of Corrections is investigating viral videos showing Bryan Kohberger in prison.
While it remains unclear whether these videos are authentic or AI-generated, officials stated that if proven real, those responsible would be held "accountable," which could include termination of employment.
Bryan Kohberger is currently at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, where he is serving four life sentences for the murder of four Idaho University students.
IDOC Promises Consequences If Bryan Kohberger's Prison Videos Are Authentic
The spotlight on Bryan Kohberger shows no signs of dimming, as viral clips allegedly from inside his cell have been making the rounds online.
In one of the clips, the convicted murderer can be seen pacing around his cell while dressed in his prison clothes.
The appearance of these videos has now compelled the Idaho Department of Corrections to launch an investigation, and they promised strong consequences for the parties involved if the footage was real.
"We are aware of the videos circulating online and are investigating the matter. While we cannot yet confirm the veracity of the videos, if verified, they are a clear violation of IDOC policy and the parties responsible will be held accountable, up to and including termination," the agency said in a statement.
In its statement, the agency also did not rule out the possibility that the video may have been created or altered using AI and warned the public to keep that in mind.
The clip has since gone viral on social media, with one of the individuals who posted the clip on TikTok stating that the murderer looked "bored" while criticizing the seemingly comfy setting of his room.
IDOC Claims They Warned Staffers Not To Share Security Footage
It appears the IDOC had anticipated the risk of staffers leaking prison footage, as their statement revealed that prior warnings had already been issued to employees.
First, an email was sent to staffers on July 23, the same day Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the Idaho murders.
Another email was reportedly sent on July 25. In both instances, IDOC leadership reminded employees of the institution's "policies and expectations concerning professionalism and the appropriate use of technology and social media."
IDOC also stated that, as part of their policies, staff are never allowed to videotape or share security footage.
They now intend to review all legal options, including criminal prosecution, if the investigation determines the videos are real and were leaked from the prison.
Additionally, the agency affirmed to the public that the "safety and security" of staff and prisoners is its "top priority."
Ada County Sheriff's Office Confirms The Videos Were Not From Its Jail
On social media, several netizens speculated about which prison the video may have originated from.
Kohberger is currently being held at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution following his sentencing, but had previously spent time at the Ada County Jail and the Latah County Jail during the course of the murder case.
Among the many suggestions, some individuals were adamant that the clips were from the Ada County Jail due to the size of the cell.
However, the Ada County Sheriff's Office refuted the speculation in a statement on their Facebook page.
"We are aware of the video footage circulating online showing Bryan Kohberger in a cell. We can confirm it was not recorded at and does not feature the Ada County Jail," read the statement.
Bryan Kohberger Has Suffered Taunts From IMSI Inmates
Amid the drama surrounding the leaked videos, Kohberger has had a rough start to his life sentences.
Earlier reports obtained by NewsNation revealed that the convicted killer has been the subject of a taunting campaign by inmates at IMSI.
These inmates allegedly make noise into the vent connected to Kohberger's cell and take turns doing it, ensuring he is constantly being tormented.
Due to the harassment, Kohberger has been left frustrated and extremely annoyed, and he has complained to officials about losing sleep.
Officials Have Assured That The Idaho Killer Is Safe Despite His 'Complaints'
However, while officials have acknowledged the harassment in a statement, they appear disinterested in resolving the situation.
"We are aware of Kohberger's complaints about what he considers taunting," the Idaho Department of Corrections said in a statement, per The Blast.
"Incarcerated individuals commonly communicate with each other in prison. Bryan Kohberger is housed alone in a cell, and IDOC security staff maintain a safe and orderly environment for all individuals in our custody."
