* Police are investigating Kohberger for potential involvement in homicides
* Kohberger stands accused of killing four Idaho college students
* An ex-FBI agent says the Idaho killings are a "signature-type crime"
(NewsNation) — Authorities in Pennsylvania are investigating Bryan Kohberger for his potential involvement in other outstanding homicides, NewsNation has exclusively learned.
Kohberger already stands accused of killing four University of Idaho students last November and is awaiting trial. A status hearing is set for late June.
Police arrested Kohberger in Pennsylvania at his parents’ home roughly six weeks after the fatal stabbings. Court documents have revealed that police used DNA evidence left on a knife sheath at the scene to link him to the crime.
Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer explained that authorities in Pennsylvania might look at Kohberger if there is a case with similar characteristics as the killings in Idaho.
“If the are looking at something very specific that’s unsolved with these parameters, they’re probably looking in the right direction,” she said on “CUOMO.” “I think it is a signature-type crime.”
The bodies of Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were found Nov. 13 inside the off-campus rental house they lived in. All were stabbed to death; Kernodle and Chapin were killed on the second floor, and Mogen and Goncalves killed on the third floor.
In addition to the DNA found on the knife sheath, police say cellphone tower data puts Kohberger near the scene of the crime immediately after the killings.
Although prosecutors have not publicly stated a motive — the judge issued a gag order — unsealed court records show subpoenas were issued for data from Kohberger’s and some of the victim’s dating apps.
Police have not recovered the murder weapon.
Examining the new development from a legal perspective, high-profile criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos says it’s common place to hear of other unsolved murders involving a suspect in a circumstantial evidence case.
“In virtually every high profile case that is a circumstantial evidence murder case, you almost inevitably hear of some other unsolved murder and law enforcement looks to see if they can link whoever the suspect is,” Geragos said. “For one thing I suppose it fills a vacuum — Why did somebody do this when you don’t have a motive? That is the most obvious explanation.”
People don’t usually kill so casually if it is their first one.
I guessing there will be others, in Washington state, Pennsylvania and surrounding areas.....................
“In addition to the DNA found on the knife sheath, police say cellphone tower data puts Kohberger near the scene of the crime immediately after the killings.”
Very similar evidence put Alex Murdaugh’s azz in jail forever and that’s WITHOUT the weapons ever being found.
Let’s hope Idaho has their act together like N.C.
AND Pennsylvania
Sorry.
I just have NO trust for the FBI whatsoever anymore.
I would not put it past them to pin a whole bunch of unsolved murders on somebody/ anybody already going down to clear up stats and make themselves look good.
Why not shoot him full of scopolamine and get the facts?
SC...........
Agree. You don’t usually go from 0 to 60 the first time. He probably is a serial killer.
Yes SC......not awake yet 😏
That’s what lazy narcissists would do!
“Why not shoot him full of scopolamine and get the facts?”
As disgusting as it is.....he has rights.
Why not shoot him full of fentanyl and get the justice.......................
There were two murder cases around Salem, Oregon and one in Washougal, Washington that had similar characteristics. The theory he might be a suspect in those quickly disappeared. I wondered why it disappeared so quickly.
“pin a whole bunch of unsolved murders on somebody/ anybody already going down to clear up stats and make themselves look good.”
Yep, closing cases crossed my mind as well.
Which would leave who knows how many killers loose and free as a bird.
No comments on active investigations.....................
According to the initial charging document, the police also have cell data that suggest he was stalking the house for several months. They also have video of him leaving and returning to his Washington campus residence early the morning of the murders. Police in Pennsylvania tore his car apart looking evidence. I haven’t heard what that outcome is and probably won’t until the judge removes the gag order.
That’s what I figured.

Maybe they can tie him to Judge Crater and Jimmy Hoffa.
