Bryan Kohberger, the man suspected of carrying out the slayings of four people in off-campus housing near the University of Idaho, has agreed to be extradited from Pennsylvania back to Idaho.

The 28-year-old was arrested on Friday at his parents home in Monroe County nearly seven weeks following the killings. The University of Idaho, where 11,000 students attend, finished the semester online as the murders remained unsolved.

Authorities honed in on Kohberger as a suspect after his white Hyundai Elantra was allegedly spotted in the vicinity of the murder. His DNA was also reportedly recovered from the scene, matched to public genealogy databases.

The FBI tracked him for at least four days before his arrest while local authorities worked to gather enough evidence for an arrest warrant.

An affidavit that details information on the suspect's arrest will remain sealed until Kohberger returns to an Idaho court.
