we're learning new details about the suspect arrested in the brutal killings of four university of idaho students. the 28-year-old bryan christopher kohberger, who is in a pennsylvania jail, is expected to waive his extradition rights on tuesday. cbs's danya bacchus reports from moscow, idaho, on how investigators tracked him down. >> reporter: bryan kohberger could be in an idaho courtroom within 72 hours after his appearance in pennsylvania tomorrow. he's facing first-degree murder charges for the november 13th stabbing deaths of four university of idaho students. >> the police department believes the person we have in custody, which would be kohberger, is the one who is responsible for these crimes. >> reporter: law enforcement sources say forensic analysis allegedly linked him to the murders. cece moore is an expert on dna testing. >> in a very personal, intimate, violent crime like this one, it's virtually impossible not to leave your dna behind. we have such sensitive equipment now. you could leave behind touch

dna, and that could be enough to perform this type of analysis. >> reporter: the 28-year-old was arrested friday at his parents' home in eastern pennsylvania. kohberger's attorney told cbs news that his client's father flew west about a month after the murders for a pre-planned cross-country road trip. the pair then drove in a white hyundai elantra, the same make and model spotted near the crime scene. kaylee goncalves' family says the arrest brings them comfort. >> this is the first bit of joy that we've had in close to seven weeks. we hope they picked the right guy, and that gives us hope, and we haven't had hope for a long time. >> reporter: kohberger's family released a statement saying they pray each day for the families of the victims and that they will continue to let the legal process unfold. tonight the motive and if the suspect knew the victims is still a mystery. the probable cause affidavit is under seal until the suspect arrives in idaho and is served with an arrest warrant. j.b. >> danya bacchus, thank you very much.

this is an overnight news update. i'm courtney kealy in new york. buffalo bills safety damar hamlin is in critical condition this morning after collapsing on the field during last night's game against the bengals. it was a frightening scene. hamlin made a routine tackle, got up off the turf, then suddenly fell. paramedics were called, and as shocked teammates prayed, hamlin was taken off the field in an ambulance. the game was suspended. now back to the "cbs overnight news." >> announcer: this is the "cbs overnight news."
3:41 am
i'm caitlin huey-burns in washington. thanks for staying with us. there is outrage in moscow after a new year's missile attack by ukraine that left dozens if not hundreds of russian soldiers dead outside the city of donetsk. reports say americans supplied missiles destroyed barracks of recently drafted russian troops. moscow says 63 soldiers were killed. ukraine puts the toll at 400 russian troops dead and another 300 wounds. the largest current battle of the war is about 50 miles to the south in the devastated city of bakhmut. ian lee is there. >> reporter: we are on the road to the most dangerous place in ukraine. soldiers call it a meat grinder. locals call it hell on earth. welcome to bakhmut. one thing that we're seeing driving into bakhmut is artillery and tanks, a lot of heavy equipment along the roads.
3:42 am
most buildings here show scars from months of fighting. russia continuously throws wave after wave of troops at the city. amid the sounds of battle, we see people huddled next to a grocery store. "we have to stay in lines like this for food," she tells me. "just two days ago, a strike scattered everyone, but we came back, and that's how we live. and for what? so many people have died." >> would you leave if you were able? "no," she says. "this is our home." but natalia wanted to flea e wi her family. she tells us she tried before, but her son was killed. he was only two weeks from his 17th birthday. natalia now keeps her daughter close by her side. and what's your name? >> milama. >> are you scared? you're a brave girl. how old are you?
3:43 am
you're four years old? what do you hope for your daughter for the future? "i want only the best," natalia tells me. "i don't want her to see all of this. i don't want her to suffer and meet the same fate as her older brother." in bakhmut, the air constantly rattles with death. but life goes on. people run errands. even the trash still needs collecting. while we've been in bakhmut, we've heard constant artillery strikes going out and coming in. leaving damage like this, but it's just a small part of what's going on across ukraine. russia continues to fire drones and missiles into the country, killing civilians and destroying critical infrastructure. the war has been an education for people here, clearly not want they wanted. was that close? "it landed somewhere far off,"
3:44 am
she tells me. "it was outgoing, not incoming. close is when the windows shatter in the houses. that's close," she says. every day, more windows shatter, more houses are destroyed. but as the rally cry goes, bakhmut still holds. you could feel people's anxiety when talking to them. there was a lot of fear but also a sort of resignation that their fate, whether they live or die, is not in their hands. >> that was ian lee in ukraine. at the vatican, thousands of the faithful lined up to pay their final respects to pope benedict xvi. he died over the weekend at the age of 95. seth doane looks back at his life and his legacy within the church. >> reporter: a scholar, academic, and fierce defender of the faith, he was conservative to the core. but this most orthodox of popes
3:45 am
did the most unorthodox thing when he became the first pontiff in 600 years to resign. burying a retired pope is also unprecedented in modern times. saturday evening, the current pope francis paid tribute, calling benedict xvi a noble, kind man who was a gift to the world. when benedict retired in 2013, he acknowledged in latin that the strains of duty had become too much. he was stepping down as the church was rattled by sex abuse and corruption scandals. you think of pope benedict as such a conservative, but in resigning, it was a revolutionary thing. >> it was a pretty progressive thing to do. in some ways, he was very much in line with this idea of modernizing the church. i think it reflects his attention to the fact that we're in a contemporary age. you know, before the modern age, popes didn't live so long.
3:46 am
>> reporter: father mark lewis is an american jesuit priest and rector of the pontifical gregorian university in rome. >> i think one of the things that's fascinating is he's one of the few popes who wrote books during his papacy. so he did three volumes in jesus christ, and what's really interesting about those books is he didn't write them as pope benedict. he wrote them as joseph ratzinger. >> reporter: born in 1927, joseph ratzinger was the son of a policeman and a cook, growing up in a small bavarian town in germany. he joined the hitler youth as was compulsory and later was conscripted into the german army. he'd wind up deserting and turned to religion, rising through the ranks of the church. as cardinal, he ran the organization charged with defending church doctrine and developed a reputation as a strict conservative. maintaining those harard-line views as pope, he strongly opposed gay marriage and the
3:47 am
ordination of women. and in 2009, he caused an uproar by dismissing condoms as a way to prevent aids. while benedict was also criticized for not taking action against bishops who ignored or covered up clerical sex abuse, he was the first pope to publicly meet victims of abuse, and he apologized. as pope, he was credited with reaching out to other faiths, including judaism. he was a linguist, a bookworm, and a pianist who loved mozart's music. news of the former pope's death came as we were speaking with father lewis saturday morning. >> i think he was a very gentle man, and i think he tended to listen to people and talk very much through the heart. >> that first point is -- what? the pope just died? >> wow. >> wow. what does that mean for you? >> well, i think in a way, we're
3:48 am
sort of fortunate that we had at least a few days of preparation. it also gives us a chance to really reflect on that legacy, on what he gave to the church and that example of resignation and living a life of isolation in his last years. >> reporter: the last pontiff to resign was pope gregory 12th. that was 1415, and he moved hundreds of miles from rome. but benedict stayed close, calling himself pope emeritus and living in a monastery set in the sprawling vatican gardens. >> was it difficult as a church to have two popes, a former pope and a living pope at the same time? >> i think benedict was able to make it work because he was so willing to move back out of the limelight. he was very good about not overshadowing pope francis. i think francis saw him as someone he could consult with and maybe the only person in the
3:49 am
world who knew what he was going through. >> reporter: pope francis will preside over the former pope's funeral mass thursday, and benedict's body will lie in st. peter's basilica so the faithful can pay tribute. >> that was seth doane reporting from rome. the overnight news is back in two minutes.
