The source said the suspect was seen wearing gloves after the murders, even to a supermarket because 'he's not stupid and has been very careful'
Kohberger was arrested at his family's home on Friday following a more than month-long investigation
The source said cell phone data showed he was in the same area as his victims in the weeks leading up to their deaths
**************************************************************
The man accused of the horrific slayings of four University of Idaho students was allegedly stalking them in the weeks leading up to the murders and wore gloves in public places after the killings.
Bryan Kohberger, 28, was fastidious about not leaving his fingerprints behind after the murders, even wearing gloves when he entered a grocery store, according to a friend of one of the police officers assigned to follow him there.
'He's not stupid and has been very careful,' the anonymous source said.
While Kohberger was under surveillance in Pennsylvania, according to the source, police witnessed him appearing to try and avoid leaving any more DNA or fingerprints behind by taking protective measures in public.
'A good friend of ours was one of the cops who has been following him the last couple days he,' the source explained of their connection to the surveillance on Kohberger in Pennsylvania.

This story is sounding more and more like real-life unrolling of the Dostoevsky novel ‘Crime and Punishment”. Kohberger playing the role of Raskolnikov.
Lesson for future psychotic killers: leave your phone home when stalking victims or committing crimes.
An alert staffer/manager/owner working in a nearby convenience store went over security camera footage discovering white car images that were captured by the media device at or near the time of the murder and reported it to law enforcement.
Using the data provided, the type of vehicle was determined- to the most accurate extent possible and the hunt was on to find the owner.
I’m thinking the gloves were to cover injuries to his hands. Investigators previously stated those were likely to occur due to the weapon that was used.
“Using the data provided, the type of vehicle was determined- to the most accurate extent possible and the hunt was on to find the owner.”
I guess it depends on how honest people think law enforcement is. After learning what we know about their “Sting Rays”, I prefer to be skeptical, very skeptical.
I had looked into it - but the person you’re tracking has to have the app on his or her smartphone also. Maybe give permission to the tracker too - I don’t remember.
It can be done with bulk cell phone data (2000 Mules) but that’s not a cheap option.
And those caught often leave a trail Stevie Wonder could follow, or someone who knows flat out tells the cops whodunit.
My guess is that the vast majority of unsolved murders involve gangbangers, where the witnesses “ain’t know nut’in.”
And he had his cell phone with him.🙄
I was talking more about the gloves etc.
Should say anything until after the verdict unless it’s cleared by command.
“Never had a chance. Here’s how I suspect it went:
1. Cousin submits DNA sample to 23 and Me.
2. He does his crime, but leaves DNA (very hard not to, for that crime).
3. Police/FBI test sample, no match. Then to to 23 and Me, and get 100 possibilities of relatives, with rankings as to the closest.”
Not quite. 23 and Me, Ancestry.com, and other commercial DNA testing companies, will not release DNA sequencing information to LEO without a warrant, and to get a warrant, LEO needs a suspect and probable cause. What likely happened here is that a relative of Kohberger downloaded their autosomal DNA data files from a commercial DNA testing company like 23 and Me, and then uploaded the data to GEDmatch or a similar platform that acts as a public clearing house for DNA data, which is open to the public free of charge or for a nominal fee. (GEDmatch and similar platforms are popular because they allow, for example, a subscriber to 23 and Me to search for relatives who subscribe to Ancesrty.com — provided both relatives have uploaded their DNA data to the public clearing house). Since the DNA data is available to the public, LEO do not need a warrant to search the database.

Yep. I learned all that by watching Brit Mystery shows. Those are good tutorials.
“And the Moscow police kept their mouths shut, unlike the gossipy Pennsylvania cop.”
Yep. Keep the mouth shut during an active investigation. Release only carefully parsed info to keep the perp feeling confident. Let the Press concoct any stupid articles they like and chuckle at their stupid conjectures.
“Also his parents had to know their son and his psychological peculiarities. They knew he drove an Elanta and lived not far from the crime site. Did they or their daughters have suspicions and talk to him? Can’t imaging what a horrible position and conflict his family experienced.”

I keep hearing that his father flew out there & drove back to PA with him.
“Not quite. 23 and Me, Ancestry.com, and other commercial DNA testing companies, will not release DNA sequencing information to LEO without a warrant”
LOL!
“If he was so smart and meticulous, he would have used a stolen car to do the crime, dumped it into a nearby lake and rode a bike that he abandoned on campus and walked home.
Oh, and don’t stalk with a phone in your pocket.”

Yes, why would he drive his own car to commit those murders? Makes no sense…
“...I am surprised he had no visible scratches or injuries.”
Perhaps he was wearing gloves to conceal any wounds/cuts on his hands.
Unless he loaned it to the “real killer” that night.🤔
Cops gets cell phone records all the time when investigating a murder. All they need is a warrent
