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.

Police in Moscow, Idaho, on Wednesday night released hundreds of files after the sentencing of Bryan Kohberger —the 30-year-old who was handed life in prison without the possibility of parole—after pleading guilty in the vicious stabbing deaths of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

Though the motive behind Bryan Kohberger's violent attack remains unknown, the former police chief says "new information could come out still."
