Newly released police body camera footage shows Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the Idaho killings, being pulled over for running a red light in Pullman, Washington, about a month before the murders. During the traffic stop, Kohberger tells the officer he was stuck in the middle of the intersection and is unfamiliar with how to drive through crosswalks because he's from rural Pennsylvania. The officer eventually lets him go with a warning. Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary in connection with the stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students.
