MOSCOW, Idaho – This week, around 60 search warrants were issued, directing various corporations to give over evidence about the case against Bryan Kohberger, the man suspected of killing four University of Idaho students.
While the warrants were filed months after the killings, a judge approved an order last week to redact and distribute portions of the warranties to the public.
Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were discovered stabbed to death at an off-campus residence in Moscow, Idaho, on Nov. 13, 2022.
Kohberger, a former Washington State University graduate student in criminology, is charged with first-degree murder.
According to court documents, authorities discovered DNA on a knife sheath left at the scene that matched Kohberger’s DNA.
In December 2022, he was caught at his family home in Pennsylvania and transported to the Latah County Prison, where he resides until his preliminary hearing on June 26.
Prosecutors have yet to state what they think was the purpose for the killings, but sealed and redacted search warrants reveal what police have been seeking to construct their case against their suspect.
