For the third consecutive year in a row, Idaho will be the focus for true crime junkies all over the country. Nearly two and a half years after his arrest, Bryan Kohberger’s murder trial will begin in Ada County. 

Kohberger is accused of murdering four University of Idaho students: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle at an off campus home in Moscow in November 2022.  His legal team was successfully granted a change of venue in September 2024, which means like the trials of Lori Vallow-Daybell and her husband, Chad Daybell, it will be held in Ada County.

Moving it to Idaho’s most populated county means a greater pool to fish in for an impartial jury. For comparison, Fox 13 out of Seattle says that 1,800 potential jurors were called in Vallow-Daybell’s trial and 2,500 were called for Daybell’s. Jury selection should start at the end of July with the trial set for August 11.
