A neighbor of accused University of Idaho killer Bryan Kohberger told “Crime Stories” host Nancy Grace about the last correspondence he had with Kohberger.
As part of ongoing coverage, Grace has traveled to where the quadruple murder occurred in Moscow, Idaho, and Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger lives. A neighbor reportedly told Grace that — 11 days after the murders — Kohberger wished him a happy Thanksgiving via text message.
The neighbor showed Grace the message, which reads, “Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.”

Kohberger, a Ph.D. criminal justice student at Washington State University, is believed to have turned off his phone during the November 13 murders. However, police claim he visited the area 12 times before the slayings.
The probable cause affidavit alleged that campus police at Kohberger’s college alerted Moscow, Idaho, police to his white 2015 Hyundai Elantra, which apparently resembles a car seen at the victims’ home around the time they were killed.
Surveillance footage reportedly showed a white four-door sedan, but it did not capture its front license plate. At the time of the killings, Kohberger’s car was registered in Pennsylvania, which does not require front plates.
Kohberger was arrested on December 30, after a cross-country trip with his father from Idaho to Pennsylvania. During their trip, Indiana police pulled over the pair twice. Sources claimed the FBI requested the traffic stops to view possible injuries on Kohberger’s hands.
Kohberger was extradited to Idaho last Thursday. He remains jailed without bail.
