Idaho Murders: Police arrest 28-year-old suspect in Pennsylvania

According to a court complaint, Bryan Kohberger, 28, was detained early on Friday in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains in connection with the killings of four University of Idaho students.

According to law enforcement sources who spoke to ABC News, authorities had located Kohberger in Pennsylvania and knew who they were looking for. He was taken to jail after a SWAT squad broke into the residence where he was residing.

According to the complaint, he was apprehended on a first-degree murder warrant issued by Idaho authorities. Kohberger made an early Friday morning court appearance.

The arrest, according to Tyler Palmer, the deputy city supervisor for Moscow, was a "tremendous sigh of relief for a community holding its breath for more than six weeks."

A news conference will be held Friday at 1 p.m. local time with participation from Moscow police officers, Idaho State Police officers, Moscow city officials, and University of Idaho representatives.

More than six weeks have passed since Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, were fatally murdered in the early hours of November 13 in the girls' off-campus home.

Officials claim that two additional companions who were not suspected by police survived and probably slept through the killings. The four deaths were on the second and third levels, while the survivors were on the bottom floor.

They don't know Kohberger, and the Goncalves family told ABC News on Friday that they are "glad, pleased, and thankful" that there has been an arrest.

The public has been urged to come forward with information by police.

"We just want this person found so bad," Kaylee Goncalves' mom, Kristi Goncalves, told ABC News earlier this month.

"Where are you? Who are you?" she said.

Police and city representatives haven't held a press conference in weeks; instead, they've been using social media to share brief updates. While University of Idaho students are on winter vacation, this new announcement is being made.

Moscow police announced on Thursday that they will be sending a cleaning crew to the crime scene on Friday. Property managers claim that the anticipated cleaning has now been postponed as a result of the arrest.
