Since Bryan Kohberger was arrested in connection with the horrific murders of Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Goncalves, commentators have flocked to social media to share their thoughts about the tragic case. One of the conspiracy theories that ran rampant online was that Kohberger returned to the University of Idaho to attend the victim’s heartbreaking vigil, per The Independent.
In a viral video, which was used as evidence for the claim, a tall man with brown hair is shown walking among the crowd of mourners. While Kohberger shares these common features, Inside Edition’s chief correspondent Jim Moret debunked the theories during an in-depth report on January 9. Moret, who also attended the vigil, showcased new footage that gave a more detailed look at the unidentified individual, who wore glasses, had lighter curly hair, and did not fit the overall appearance of Kohberger. “Look, the same man was walking behind me as I was recording that night,” Moret said in a voiceover. “You can definitely say the online speculation is not accurate. He is clearly not Byran Kohberger.”

The debunked report comes a few days after the court unsealed an affidavit that gave further information into the capture of the 28-year-old. In the extensive report, it was revealed that the victims’ roommates were home at the time, with one by the name of Dylan Mortensen coming face-to-face with Kohberger. “The male walked past D.M. as she stood in a ‘frozen shock phase,'” the report stated.
