Kohberger previously attended DeSales University as an undergraduate and graduate student, according to a statement on the institution’s website. On its official Facebook page, DeSales describes itself as a Catholic university in Pennsylvania.

Earlier this year, he finished his “graduate studies for the master of arts in criminal justice program,” according to a university representative. He received his bachelor’s degree in 2020.

According to two law enforcement sources briefed on the inquiry, after tracing the ownership of the Elantra back to Kohberger, investigators eventually focused on him.
