After eight years as chief and nearly 29 years overall with the city police department, Fry retired from his post in May 2024. His decision came about a year and a half after the arrest of Bryan Kohberger, who stabbed the four college students to death for reasons detectives said they still don’t know.

Hundreds of pages of previously sealed documents were made public by the Moscow Police Department, but information is still redacted.

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.
