"I had one shot at it, and I was going to make the most of it," Alivea said of the powerful victim impact statement she delivered

Dylan Mortensen read her victim impact statement through tears at Bryan Kohberger's sentencing hearing Wednesday.

The former criminal-justice doctoral student convicted in the 2022 stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday but declined to give a statement in court that might have shed light on a motive for the killings.

Two roommates of when four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death at their off-campus home by a masked intruder in 2022 shared victim impact statements at his sentencing.

Despite Kohberger's guilty plea in the Idaho murders, investigators still don't know his motive, who he targeted or where the murder weapon is after he covered his tracks.

In the days after murdering four University of Idaho students in an off-campus home, Bryan Kohberger’s behavior shifted dramatically and investigators would later find that he had fixated on news coverage of the killings and began paying for items in cash – often wearing gloves – as he avoided the area of the murders.
