Authorities have released footage of the first time suspected quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger was pulled over – for driving too close to the van in front.
The Hancock County Sheriff’s Department confirmed Kohberger was pulled over by a deputy at around 10:41 a.m. on December 15.
Police bodycam footage captured the moment an officer approached the 28-year-old in his sedan on December 15 on the I-70 just outside Indianapolis.
He and his father Michael told the officer there had been a ‘mass shooting’ at his university before his dad added that a ‘SWAT team’ descended on the campus.
Michael then described the shooting as ‘horrifying’, just days before his son was arrested by another SWAT team that swooped on their home.

Kohberger was again in the driver’s seat next to his father, Michael, during the stop and then handed over his license.
Michael was quick to tell officers where they have traveled from, explaining that they left Washington State University to head home to Pennsylvania.
Kohberger himself speaks calmly to officers explaining that they have been driving ‘for hours’ after a SWAT team descended on WSU.
The incident, which was linked to a shooting on campus, was strangely brought up by Kohberger after the officer asked where they had come from.
Kohberger was pulled over twice within nine minutes while driving along I-70 in December.
On both occasions, he was given a verbal warning, with Kohberger and his father both appearing more concerned on the second occasion they were pulled over.

Police then impounded the vehicle from outside his parents’ home when they swooped on the property in Chestnuthill Township, Monroe County.

Investigators in Moscow, Idaho, have yet to outline a motive, but those who knew Kohberger say he had a deep interest in the psychology of criminals.
