Newly released police bodycam footage revealed Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger being pulled over just three months before he slaughtered four college students.
The 30-year-old, who was sentenced to life in prison last week, was pulled over by a Latah County Sheriff’s deputy in August 2022 after he was caught speeding on Pullman-Moscow Highway – the road that connects Washington and Idaho.
The footage was supposed to be shown during his capital murder trial, but after he accepted a plea deal it was approved for release by Judge Steven Hippler.
The video, obtained by Idaho Statesman, showed Deputy Darren Duke walking up to Kohberger’s Hyundai Elantra before having him lower his window.
Duke said: ‘Hey there, I stopped you going a little fast. You realize this is 35?’
‘Oh, it’s 35?,’ Kohberger replied as he shook his head several times.
‘I was going about 41, about that,’ he added before handing over his license, registration and insurance to the officer.
The former PhD candidate then handed his documents over before admitting he wasn’t wearing his seatbelt when he was stopped by the cop.

‘Were you wearing your seatbelt when I stopped you?,’ the officer asked.
‘No,’ Kohberger replied before Duke said: ‘That’s no good.’
‘Just being honest with you,’ Kohberger responded.
The cop then told him he appreciate his honesty, to which Kohberger made direct eye contact with him and replied: ‘There is absolutely no point in not being honest.’
Duke then informed the now-murderer that he will have to pay a $10 fine for not wearing his seatbelt in the state of Idaho.
