In newly filed court documents, prosecutors say they will use evidence of an apparent knife purchase and a selfie that they believe link Bryan Kohberger to the murders of four University of Idaho students.

Kohberger is charged in the murders of Mount Vernon native Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, who were stabbed to death in the early morning of Nov. 13, 2022, at a rental home near campus in Moscow, Idaho.

I wonder if they can zoom in on the traces of blood on the shower wall?

I heard where he had bought a knife and case on Amazon that matches the case (with a match for his DNA) left behind at the murder scene. The guy is a real criminal mastermind.

Got that off X. Some are claiming it’s manipulated. It may be. But I would not be surprised if there were cuts on his hands. Admittedly, this picture is not good.

Motive was always a question with these murders, maybe someone in that group called him a fag (seeing that pic) and he went on a ballistic murderous binge.

More like wanting a girlfriend above his level is the prime cause. Young men don’t realize they have the most freedom to create the best life for themselves and not tied down to the responsibility of a family is really a blessing towards that.

That image is getting harder and harder to find. It seems ‘someone’ is getting it scrubbed off the net.

I thought the Police found the DNA of Kohberger's father on the knife sheath that was left at the crime scene?

I thought the Prosecution of Kohberger was at legal risk because the Police used a public DNA archive to identify his father?

Strange case. Bizarre defendant!

Left my carry in my truck yesterday to go see my dad in Ft. Worth. Forgot about the knives. Dumped them in the trashcan on the way in.

Get in there and realize there ain’t no metal detectors... DOH!

Sounds very plausible. I suspect he was fixated on one of the victims, likely stalking prior to the murderous rampage.

It was Bryan Kohberger’s DNA on the knife sheath.

Here’s how the father’s DNA was involved:

“Some information about the use of DNA to identify Kohberger was already known: Law enforcement sources previously told NBC News that DNA played a role in helping investigators hone in on Kohberger, and a probable cause affidavit unsealed in January stated that male DNA was “left on the button snap of the knife sheath” and that DNA retrieved from the trash of Kohberger’s family home in Pennsylvania on Dec. 27 showed there was a high probability it was from the biological father of the person who left the DNA on the sheath at the crime scene.”

I think you are mistaken about Bryan Kohberger DNA being on the knife sheath.

It would not take almost three years to bring this case to trial if his DNA was actually found at the crime scene.

I mean, why would they go all the way to Pennsylvania to get family DNA?

If they wanted a sample of Bryan DNA, they could have just asked him.

The irregularity on his left ring finger surely looks like the edge of a Band-Aid. The bathroom selfie with wet hair illustrates how nicely he cleans up with a shower after his murderous rampage.
