Idaho murders: King Road house where Bryan Kohberger allegedly killed 4 students to be demolished

The King Road house in Moscow, Idaho, is set to be demolished on Dec. 28, according to the University of Idaho.

The university said in a Thursday press release that the demolition of the house will begin on Dec. 28. 

Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin were allegedly killed Nov. 13, 2022, by Bryan Kohberger in their home.

In a statement, the university said that Kohberger’s defense team will visit the home on Thursday and Friday.

“The defense indicated they want to take photographs, measurements and possibly gather drone footage of the house,” the release said. “Following this, the university will prepare for demolition of the house. Demolition will begin at 7 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 28, and it may take several days to completely clear the site.”

University of Idaho President Scott Green said the house is a “grim reminder of the heinous act that took place there.”

“While we appreciate the emotional connection some family members of the victims may have to this house, it is time for its removal and to allow the collective healing of our community to continue,” Green said.

In February, the University of Idaho announced the house would be demolished and a “healing garden” constructed.

Shanon Gray, an attorney for Kaylee Goncalves’ family, previously criticized the decision to demolish the house, stating that it holds critical evidence to the case.

“The home itself has enormous evidentiary value as well as being the largest, and one of the most important, pieces of evidence in the case,” Gray said.

Gray said that the University of Idaho previously asked for the victims families’ opinions on demolishing the house, then “proceeded to ignore those opinions and pursue their own self-interests.”
