The 28-year-old man charged with the brutal murders of four
University of Idaho students as they were sleeping
is due in court on Tuesday.
Bryon Kohberger now faces four counts of first degree murder.
He was arrested on Friday in Pennsylvania thousands of miles
away from the crime scene.
His attorney says he'll waive his extradition
hearing because he's quote, "Eager to be exonerated."
A childhood friend reveals new details
tonight about the 28-year-old graduate student.
Here's ABC'S Kayna Whitworth.
KAYNA WHITWORTH: Tonight, Bryan Kohberger's childhood friend
Thomas speaking to ABC News, describing the Idaho murder
suspect as mean in high school, saying Brian was
eager to be seen as dominant.
He would just put me in-- he would like
grapple me and put me in headlocks and arm
bars and stuff like that.
KAYNA WHITWORTH: Kohberger's family releasing a statement,
which reads, in part, "First and foremost, we
care deeply for the four families who have
lost their precious children.
There are no words that can adequately
express the sadness we feel.
We have fully cooperated with law enforcement agencies
in an attempt to seek the truth and promote
his presumption of innocence."
The small community in Moscow terrified
for weeks after roommates Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Morgan, Xana
Kernodle, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin were found
stabbed to death in their off-campus home
in mid-November.
Kohberger's lawyer saying, "Bryan's father
flew from his home in the Poconos
to Washington State for a pre-planned cross-country road
trip back home to Pennsylvania for Christmas
in that white Hyundai Elantra.
Driving cross-country took them approximately
two and a half days.
Mr. Kohberger indicated that Brian
was acting normal and not out of character on the drive
back from Washington.
KAYNA WHITWORTH: The car seized from the Kohberger's home
after Brian was arrested early Friday morning.
The Monroe County Chief Public Defender
saying, "Kohberger is eager to return to Idaho and be
exonerated.
Police in Moscow saying they're confident they
arrested the only person responsible for the murders.
Still, they're searching for a murder weapon they describe
as a fixed blade knife.
The police chief saying the community
has a name and a face, and now they're hoping more people will
come forward with information.
We have a lot of work to do, still.
We still have a lot of pieces we have to put together.
That's why we're still asking people, if you have known
this individual, contact us.
And Linsey, Chief Fry telling me
that within an hour of releasing Kohberger's name,
they had more than 400 tips pour in.
Also, Kohberger's lawyer confirming to us
that he remained there, in Pullman working towards his PhD
until mid-December.
Now of course, he's set to appear
before a judge on Tuesday and there's hoping to be quickly
sent to Idaho to face charges.
Linsey?
