The University of Idaho owns 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. The university has held title to the parcel since early 2023, when the prior owner donated the property. The three-story house that stood on the lot was demolished on December 28, 2023, and the parcel now sits vacant under university control.
How the University Came to Own It
The prior owner offered the house to the University of Idaho in early 2023, and the university accepted. President Scott Green confirmed the donation in a public statement, saying the transfer “removes the physical structure where the crime that shook our community was committed.”
The university planned to tear the building down from the moment it took ownership. It delayed the demolition to allow Bryan Kohberger’s criminal defense team access to the scene. Once that access was provided, the work moved forward.
Who Owned the Property Before the University
At the time of the November 2022 killings, the property was owned by a Colorado-based limited liability company called 1122 King LLC. Deeds filed through the Latah County Assessor’s Office show that entity had held title since 2009. The house operated as a multi-tenant student rental near the University of Idaho campus.
What’s on the Lot Now
Demolition crews began tearing down the house on the morning of December 28, 2023. The structure was completely removed and the lot restored to a vacant state. The University of Idaho continues to hold title and manages the site through its facilities and security operations.
No specific future development plans for the lot have been publicly announced. Any future use would run through the university’s institutional planning process and oversight by the Idaho State Board of Education, which sets policy for property held by state universities.
How to Verify Ownership Yourself
You can confirm the current owner of 1122 King Road, or any other property in Latah County, through the Latah County Assessor’s online property search tool. A search by address or parcel number returns the current owner’s name, the most recent transfer date, tax assessment information, and zoning details.
For the underlying deed documents, including the 2023 transfer to the university, the Latah County Recorder’s Office maintains the recorded instruments. The file notes that whether the donation used a warranty deed or a quitclaim deed has not been publicly detailed, so pulling the recorded deed is the way to see the exact terms.
Idaho law gives every person the right to examine and copy public records, with a presumption that all public records are open for inspection at reasonable times unless a specific statute says otherwise.1Idaho State Legislature.
