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.

...He appears to have been working on his own ‘research project’ for his Phd..

I'm wondering if he wanted to commit the perfect murder like the crazy killers in the Alfred Hitchcock movie 'Rope'.

LOL. It is funny the things they seem to want us to know about this guy. Which way he puts the TP roll in might be important information. I wonder why they didn’t include it? ;)

Offhand, an enraged strange male often has developed fixation on a female, who rejected him and caused him to go into a blinding rage.

That’s just an observation of what happens in these things.

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

“They used it to find close relatives of the person whose DNA was found at the scene of the murders.”

That’s the “hook” right there in all of this DNA stuff.

Perp “John” commits murder in Idaho, leaves DNA at the scene. Cousin “Sue”, in Florida, is curious about her Scottish ancestry, sends in a spit sample to My Heritage.com and, bingo...cops match it close enough to ID Perp “John”.

While I’ve never discussed this subject with my sister, I KNOW she’s the type of person that would’ve sent her DNA off to one of these sites. She’s a Democrat “cat lady”, so I’m guessing she’s also sent off her cat’s DNA. I just have to control my urges to commit mass murder.

Judge Jeanine said they used Ancestry DNA for genealogical purpose. Apparently one of his relatives had his DNA test done and they were able to link his DNA to the family. It was just a matter of figuring out which relative had a white Elantra.

That’s good because the last thing we want are headlines like Longtime Free Republic poster arrested for Mass Murder. :)

By the looks of him, if he lives long enough, I think he’ll have to rethink the “beyond vegan” lifestyle, me thinks he’s going to become a sausage gastronome.

I will point out that my wife puts toilet paper on the roller backwards.

“...he’s a lunatic Leftist.”

That’s a redundant statement. All leftists are lunatics.

In Pa (where I live), hunting season is basically a holiday season in many places. Not as big as it once was, but we still are bitter-clingers ;)

It may be possible that Kohberger stabbed four people in their sleep in succession, but it’s unlikely. Keep looking.
