SWAT teams descended on sleepy Poconos mountain town to catch Libertarian Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger who was 'obsessively vegan' as a teen and 'looked drugged at school'

SWAT teams descended on a sleepy residential community in Pennsylvania in the early hours of Friday morning where they arrested Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger more than a month after four university students were slain in their beds.

Kohberger, 28, was taken into custody by the Pennsylvania State Police at a home in Albrightsville, a small town in the heart of the Poconos Mountains more than 2,000 miles from where the gruesome killings took place on November 13.

Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson said investigators believe Kohberger broke into the students' home 'with the intent to commit murder.'...

Friday's arrest is the first major break in the case - with Kohberger asking if 'anyone else was arrested' when he was taken into custody. An extradition hearing is scheduled for Tuesday.

Kohberger is a registered Libertarian, although does not appear to have had any active social media profiles at the time of his arrest.

A relative told The New York Post Kohberger is 'OCD' about his eating habits and forced his family to buy new pots that had never been used to cook meat.

'It was above and beyond being vegan. His aunt and uncle had to buy new pots and pans because he would not eat from anything that had ever had meat cooked in them. He seemed very OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder)' the woman said.

During a press conference on Friday authorities confirmed that a white Hyundai Elantra was discovered in the search – with sources saying it was towed from outside Kohberger's home.

Law enforcement sources told CNN that his DNA was discovered at the scene of the crime – with officers managing to track down who owned the car seen in the area of the slayings.

If you don’t put it on so that you pull from the top, you’re a psychopath. :)

You don't have a cat, do you?

I heard he had an altercation with one of the girls at a bar earlier. He probably followed them home.

He probably followed them home.

The Uber driver reported being followed by a white Elantra.

Just a guess on my part. I doubt the driver knew what kind of car was tailing him. The police were likely able to determine it by matching phone record time stamps to the gas station video time stamp.

It will be interesting to see if there were additional detection methods such as license plate readers that would place him in the Moscow city limits at the time of the murders. Looks to me like the DNA evidence is what really caught the guy and the rest of evidence will help to solidify the case.

However what happens in these families is that the final requests may look bizarre, but these people have been inched over to bizarre one step at a time, and normal is no longer the midline.
= = =

Even such that the family plans for the new ‘normal’ and even reminds the loved one about his ‘no meat in the pan’, for example.

Again with the Libertarian BS and yet nothing about his socks.

If he were a Dem, the news media would never mention his voter registration.

The only registered LP-ers I’ve ever known in real life were good people.
