Mega Edition: Was Was Moscow PD Saying In December Of 2022? (9/17/26)

In this episode, we take a close look at the official Moscow Police Department press releases issued from December 20 through December 28, 2022, during the final stretch before Bryan Kohberger’s arrest. The updates showed investigators continuing to publicly focus on the white Hyundai Elantra, processing thousands of tips, reviewing video evidence, conducting interviews and trying to separate credible information from the flood of rumors and speculation surrounding the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Police repeatedly emphasized that no suspect had been publicly identified, no murder weapon had been recovered and investigators were still asking anyone with information about the Elantra or the victims’ movements to come forward.

Taken together, the releases captured a critical moment in the investigation when the public still had very little idea how far law enforcement had actually progressed behind the scenes. The statements were cautious and repetitive by design, offering few concrete details while investigators quietly built the case that would soon lead them to Kohberger in Pennsylvania. Looking back at those daily updates with the benefit of what later became public, they provide a useful timeline of what Moscow police were willing to say, what they deliberately withheld and how the investigation moved from an apparently open-ended manhunt toward the arrest that came just days later on December 30, 2022.
