Indiana cops ‘DELIBERATELY pulled over Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger at FBI’s request’
>
An FBI surveillance team that brought suspected quadruple killer Bryan Kohberger back to his parents’ home in Pennsylvania asked Indiana police to take him into custody, according to sources.
The team was trying to get video footage of Kohberger and his hands, and the alleged killer and his father were twice stopped in Indiana on December 15 on their 2,500-mile trip across the country.
It comes as a new mugshot of Kohberger was released after he returned to Idaho and was transferred to the Latah County Jail.
The killer spent several hours on a flight escorted by police and landed at Moscow’s Pullman Regional Airport on Wednesday night.
A new mugshot of Kohberger was taken after he arrived at the Latah County Jail Wednesday night.
The alleged murderer Bryan Kohberger returned to Moscow in handcuffs to be charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students.
A police source said foxnews that the FBI team wanted pictures of Kohberger’s hands to see if he had any injuries.
From the footage, it doesn’t appear the quadruple killer bears any markings, despite web detectives reaching out to try and find any hint of injury.
Investigators were reportedly still building their case when Kohberger was taken into custody, 15 days before he was finally arrested.
Authorities were trying to link him to the case after finding his FBI at the ‘murder house’ with genetic genealogy playing a part in the capture of the alleged killer.
Exclusive photos from DailyMail.com show the moment Kohberger stepped out of a Pennsylvania State Police Pilatus PC-12 plane that was surrounded by police officers.
A somber Kohberger, wearing red prison jumpsuit and a black jacket, was led off the plane and into a police SUV before being transported to the Latah County Jail, a 15-minute drive away in Moscow.
A law enforcement source told Fox News that the FBI team wanted pictures of Kohberger’s hands to see if he had any injuries, so they asked Indiana police to take him into custody.
Both times, officers let him go with only a warning, with Kohberger looking visibly more concerned during the Indiana State Police’s second stop on December 15. He did not appear to have any injuries to his arms or hands.
He was accompanied on the long flight west by four armed Pennsylvania State Police officers and was met by officers from the Moscow Police Department and the Idaho State Police.
Authorities have released footage of the first time alleged quadruple killer Bryan Kohberger was pulled over for driving too close to the pickup truck in front.
The Hancock County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that an officer pulled Kohberger into custody around 10:41 a.m. on December 15.
Police body camera footage captured the moment the 28-year-old was approached by an officer in his sedan on December 15 on I-70 outside Indianapolis.
He and his father Michael told the officer that there had been a “mass shooting” at their college before his father added that a “SWAT team” descended on campus.
Michael later described the shooting as “horrifying” just days before his son was arrested by another SWAT team that pounced on his home.
Kohberger appeared in court Tuesday and waived extradition during a brief court hearing.
The crime took place six weeks ago, 2,500 miles from where Kohberger was arrested. His father flew to meet his son in Washington and drove with him back to his home in Pennsylvania.
The criminal justice attorney was back in the driver’s seat with his father, Michael, during the stop and then handed over his license.
Michael was quick to tell the officers where they had traveled from, explaining that they left Washington State University to return to Pennsylvania.
Kohberger himself speaks calmly to the officers, explaining that they have been driving “for hours” after a SWAT team descended on WSU.
He then appears to try to lie to the officer, claiming they’re going for ‘Thai food’, before his father jumps in to say they’re on their way home to Pennsylvania.
Kohberger bizarrely brought up the incident, which was related to a campus shooting, after the officer asked where they had come from.
Kohberger was pulled over twice in nine minutes while driving on I-70 in December.
Kohberger was being flown from Pennsylvania back to Idaho to appear in court charged with the four murders.
Kohberger is accused of murdering four University of Idaho students on November 13, 2022.
Both times, he received a verbal warning, and Kohberger and his father seemed more concerned the second time they were detained.
Idaho police first requested information on a white Hyundai Elantra on December 7, a week before the Indiana traffic stop.
Kohberger was ultimately arrested on December 30 at his parents’ home in Pennsylvania for the November 13 massacre of four University of Idaho students.
The images were released hours after Kohberger began his extradition process to Idaho after leaving Pennsylvania around 6 a.m. yesterday.
Kohberger left the Monroe County Correctional Center after waiving his right to extradition at a hearing Tuesday.
He is expected to appear in court in Moscow sometime today, when the probable cause affidavit for his arrest is unsealed.

The 28-year-old Washington State University criminology student was arrested at his family home in Chestnuthill Township in Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
The killer was arrested Friday in connection with the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20.
Kohberger has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.
Monroe County First Assistant District Attorney Michael Mancuso confirmed yesterday that they believe Kohberger is just as desperate to return to Idaho to find out the contents of the affidavit.
An Idaho judge has issued a gag order on Moscow police and legal teams in connection with the case, barring anyone connected to the case from speaking about it.
Latah County Attorney Bill Thompson said: “Once he gets here, he will have an initial appearance with our magistrate.”
“They will deal with issues such as making sure you are represented by a competent attorney, and the case will be scheduled for hearings.”
Kootenai County Chief Public Defender Ann Taylor will represent Kohberger Idaho, however a team of five investigators hired by her defense team was dispatched to the home where the quadruple murder took place.
It is unusual for state-paid defense attorneys to create a crime scene reconstruction.
