The legal saga against the man who murdered four University of Idaho students may have ended Wednesday, when he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. But new details about the case are still emerging,

After eight years as chief and nearly 29 years overall with the city police department, Fry retired from his post in May 2024. His decision came about a year and a half after the arrest of Bryan Kohberger, who stabbed the four college students to death for reasons detectives said they still don’t know.

The newly released police documents revealed the horrifying extent of the crimes and an unnerving sighting by one of the victims' surviving roommates in the days leading up to the killings. They also indicate that at least one of the victims fought back intensely.

In the days after murdering four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home, Bryan Kohberger’s behavior shifted dramatically and investigators would later find that he had fixated on news coverage of the killings and began paying for items in cash – often wearing gloves – as he avoided the area of the murders.

The College Murders premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 11, 2025, and has since garnered widespread attention for its sensitive yet gripping investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students.

Though the motive behind Bryan Kohberger's violent attack remains unknown, the former police chief says "new information could come out still."

The documents in the University of Idaho murders were made public just hours after killer Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison.
