BOISE, Idaho (AP) — It’s been weeks since four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds, and now some of the mystery surrounding the case may soon fall away. Bryan Kohberger, who was attending a nearby university around the time of the killings, was returned to Idaho on Wednesday evening to face charges of first-degree murder after his arrest in Pennsylvania last week. Court documents that could shed light on many unanswered questions are expected to be unsealed soon. But a new gag order from an Idaho judge is deepening the secrecy surrounding the investigation into the deaths of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
