Department of Corrections ‘Aggressively’ Trying to Transfer Bryan Kohberger to Another Prison

Bryan Kohberger’s repeated complaints behind bars may soon land him in another prison, according to a new report.

The former criminology grad student — who is serving four consecutive life sentences without parole for the 2022 murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20 — has left Idaho officials scrambling to find another facility willing to take him, according to the Daily Mail.

Chris McDonough, described by the outlet as a retired homicide detective with “inside” information about Kohberger, said Idaho officials are “so fed up with [Kohberger] so they’re trying to move him out of Idaho by making an agreement with another state.”

“They’re trying to make it happen. So it wouldn’t be surprising if within 30 days Kohberger has been transferred elsewhere or a decision has been reached whether or not to get him out of there,” McDonough added.

McDonough, who now works for the Cold Case Foundation, said Idaho officials are working “aggressively” to begin the transfer process to another state. “So they’re figuring out, ‘what are we going to do with this guy?’” he said.

According to McDonough, Kohberger, 31, has developed a reputation as a prisoner who frequently complains about his living conditions. He has even been particular about the food served in prison, down to the type of bananas he’s being served.

The Moscow, Idaho murders occurred on November 13, 2022. Kohberger changed his plea to guilty last July as part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid the death penalty.
