Idaho murders: Bryan Kohberger’s former defense attorney says he has stayed in touch with suspect’s family

Bryan Kohberger's mother, Maryann Kohberger exits Monroe County Court House in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, on Jan. 3, 2023, after her son's extradition hearing.

Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger‘s parents are still in touch with his former Pennsylvania public defender, Jason LaBar.

LaBar said Kohberger’s mother, Maryann Kohberger, still supports her son despite the evidence laid out against him in a probable cause affidavit for his arrest in connection with the Nov. 13 murders of four University of Idaho students.

“She would first and foremost put out her heartfelt sympathies for the four families,” LaBar told “Good Morning America” of Kohberger’s mother. “She prays for them every day and can’t imagine the situation they’re in, but on the flip side of that, she’s obviously supportive and she wants to see how the case unfolds for her son, really pressing the presumption of innocence to anyone that will listen.”

Kohberger, 28, has been charged with murder and burglary in connection with the Nov. 13 quadruple homicide at the victims’ home near the school’s Moscow, Idaho, campus.

The affidavit released after Kohberger’s arrest and before his initial court appearance in Latah County places the suspect – a criminology Ph.D. student at nearby Washington State University in Pullman, Washington – around the scene of the crime through phone records and security camera footage of his vehicle from between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., when investigators believe the murders occurred.
