Jarring Number Of Times Idaho Killer Bryan Kohberger Stabbed His Victims Revealed In Unsealed Documents

New details about the Bryan Kohberger case have revealed more information about the gruesome killings.

The convicted murderer reportedly stabbed his victims at least 150 times when he attacked them in their off-campus home in November 2022. The injuries were spread across different locations on their bodies, with quite a number found on their face, neck, and scalp.

Bryan Kohberger has since signed a plea deal and is currently serving four life sentences for the murders.

While the pursuit of justice for Bryan Kohberger's victims has resulted in four consecutive life sentences for the former PhD student, the shock of his crimes has yet to fade, a feeling intensified by new details emerging about the victims' final moments.

His victims, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin,  were in an off-campus home when they were attacked in the early hours of November 13, 2022.

According to a newly unsealed supplemental filing obtained by People Magazine, Goncalves was stabbed at least 38 times, Mogen and Chapin suffered 28 and 17 stab wounds, respectively, and Kernodle tragically sustained the most, with 67 stab wounds documented.

In total, Kohberger stabbed his victims at least 150 times during the brutal attack, a horrific act that continues to leave the families of the victims in deep mourning.

For Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, their deaths were reported as resulting from multiple sharp-force injuries.

Many of these injuries were concentrated on the face, neck, and scalp. Goncalves sustained at least 24 stab and incised wounds in these areas, while Mogen suffered 13.

Goncalves also had 11 stab and incised wounds to the chest and three to the upper extremities. Mogen was similarly attacked, with five stab wounds to her chest and 10 incised wounds to her upper extremities.

Beyond the stab and incised wounds, Goncalves and Mogen also sustained other external and internal injuries.

The autopsy for Goncalves documented punctures on the outer table of the skull, injuries to the teeth and tongue, hemorrhaging in the chest cavities, bleeding around the brain, a nasal fracture, and multiple bruises around the eyes and lower face.

Mogen, meanwhile, was found to have wounds to the lungs and liver, perforations of the subclavian vein and artery, injuries to the blood vessels of the chest wall, and a cut to the nasal septum.

The autopsy of Chapin and Kernodle also told a similar story to that of their other late roommates. Both were found in Kernodle's room, although at different locations.

Chapin sustained wounds to the upper chest, scalp, face, neck, upper extremities, and lower extremities, with the number of injuries ranging from one to six in some of these areas.

Kernodle suffered injuries in these locations, but in greater numbers, including 23 stab and incised wounds to the scalp, face, and neck, and seven stab wounds to the chest.

For Kernodle, there were also abrasions and contusions on the head, torso, and extremities, as well as punctures on the outer table of the skull.

Internally, Kernodle's autopsy further showed perforations of the jugular vein, heart, lungs, and pulmonary blood vessels, along with hemorrhaging into the chest cavities.

For years, Bryan Kohberger's case dragged on until July of last year, when he unexpectedly agreed to a plea deal just weeks before his murder trial was set to begin.

Under the agreement, the convicted murderer confessed to the killings of the four Idaho university students, though he refused to disclose a motive for the gruesome crime.

He also did not provide details about the weapon used, but a KA-Bar knife sheath recovered from the crime scene has led investigators to believe it may have been the murder weapon.

Kohberger is currently incarcerated at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution, where he is expected to serve out his four life sentences.

He is reportedly housed in the J Block unit and remains in his cell for 23 hours a day.

The convicted murderer was recently also ordered by the court to pay his fines to the families of the deceased, which was set at over half a million dollars.

Since his incarceration, several reports have claimed that Kohberger has been having a hard time adjusting to life in prison, as he has made multiple complaints, from his food options to other inmates allegedly taunting him.

Howard Blum, a Pulitzer-nominated investigative reporter who wrote a book about the Idaho college murders, has told the Daily Mail that Kohberger has "a self-important personality," noting how this trait has seemingly prevented him from getting used to his new home behind bars.

"Murder is about control," Blum said. "And prison is the ultimate situation where you have no control. He's not responding well to that."
