Justice Delivered: Bryan Kohberger Sentenced 
Today, Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without parole for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He also received 10 years for burglary and over $270,000 in fines.
Dylan Mortensen, surviving roommate, called Kohberger a “hollow vessel” and said her body “never got the message that it’s over.” Kaylee’s sister Alivea demanded answers: “What were Kaylee’s last words? You thrive on fear and pain.” Kaylee’s father stared him down and said: “Hell is waiting for you. Sit up straight when I speak to you.” Xana’s stepfather told him: “Go to hell.” Madison’s stepfather asked others to honor her through acts of kindness.Judge Hippler called Kohberger a coward and reminded everyone that chasing “why” only gives him more power. Kohberger said nothing—only:
“I respectfully decline.”
To which people in court shouted: “Coward.”
The murder weapon was never found despite exhaustive searches.
The gag order is now lifted, and a large volume of sealed documents will soon be made public.
The theory that “Pappa Rodger” was Kohberger has been officially ruled out.
Most significantly, investigators have never found any clear link between Kohberger and the four victims—no messages, no personal contact, no known connection.Justice has been served, but these families will carry their pain forever. We remember Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan for the light they brought to this world.
