The owner of a restaurant in Moscow, Idaho, where two slain students worked, speaks out after a report claimed quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger visited the business twice, saying it is inaccurate.
A People article published Thursday claims Kohberger visited Mad Greek, where Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle worked, and ordered vegan pizza, citing a former employee.
Mad Greek owner Jackie Fischer says in a Facebook post that the report is based on “completely fabricated information.”
“The news and media should really do their due diligence before running a story with completely fabricated information. This will be my only response to this People story…Not true,” Fischer wrote.

The People report also noted that an investigator familiar with the case said police are aware of Kohberger’s visit to the restaurant.
