Police said they began tracking and surveilling Kohberger around Christmas and stayed on him for four days when they spotted the white Hyundai Elantra they believed was connected to the murders.
Investigators said Kohberger drove cross-country in the car to his parents home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.
His car was confirmed to be at the Pennsylvania home, and officials worked quickly to obtain a warrant for his arrest, law enforcement sources told CNN.
Along with the surprised bar owner, students who attended Washington State University with Kohberger said they were shocked to learn that the quiet man in their classroom was the prime suspect in the brutal slaying.
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.
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.
However, Kohberger has no prior arrests, according to public records, so it is unclear how officials got hold of his DNA.

It sucks, but the majority of Veterans I know think like we do.
I’m from a multigenerational military family as well.
It likely dies with my brother and I.
I have only 6,127 in my actual tree. I basically connected grandparents in each generation, not adding all the collateral relatives. I have 22,141 DNA matches. Haven’t counted the common ancestor matches yet. Since DNA matches only go back 7 generations, anything past that is all based on Ancestry.com hints, which may be right, or wrong.
The cook is GRU!!
I’ve got the DVD-—Somewhere! HA!
Just read a good review and remember
It well.
It’s worth a watch
It really is different.
Guess he didn't think too much of the NAP?
‘It Should be the Constitution’

I agree
Military is standing down on our current
Situation ..
My ‘patriot’ has died a bit too.
I just checked my tree, and have none either. My DNA shows 21% Germanic Empire which on Ancestry.com covers Germany and the Netherlands among other countries. My father was born in Holland, but there are also Germans on my mother's side...one born in Rothenberg, Germany in 1738. He's the last DNA connection in that line. He settled in Canada, which is where my mother was born. He fought with the British during the Revolutionary War. I have Patriots and Tories on her side. I also have 22% Sweden and Denmark, as well as other countries. My parents never knew any of their ancestry. My grandparents on both sides were gone by the time I was born in 1947, so I had no one to ask questions about our heritage.
If true, that makes the DNA match as accurate as it can be.
I watch a lot of British archaeology shows, and they can do wonders with mitochondrial DNA on bones from hundreds/thousands of years ago. By examining teeth DNA, and also testing ancient feces, they can tell where a person was from, and what their main diet was. Many of us still carry Neanderthal DNA as well.
Sociopaths tend to have that effect on women.
It's not trial worthy proof, but depending on how close that relative is and how many matching alleles there are.
The DNA connection to relatives has nothing to do with the actual trial. All it did was lead authorities to the suspect. The DNA he left at the crime scene is what will link him to the murders. That and other evidence.
>>Either he’s trying to imply innocence, or he had accomplices.<<
Police should have answered “yes”. (SCOTUS says police can lie).
Anything he said after that could be incriminating.
“DNA was found, and investigators used commercial dna registry sites to figure out what family he was from.”
Way too complicated. In mid-December, LEO received a tip about a white Hyundai Electra spotted near the scene of the murders. LEO checked the local DMV records for a match, but Moscow being a college town, there could be cars registered in other states. LEO then contacts campus police for U of Idaho, as well as nearby WSU, and learns that a WSU campus parking permit was issued to a “Bryan Kohberger” who is a PhD student at the university, and that he has an on-campus office and apartment. LEO searches his office for a coffee cup, soda, can, pen, pencil, etc., and finds a DNA sample that matches the DNA from the murder scene. The rest is headlines.
“My understanding is that if someone in your extended family has ever used a commercial genetic testing service, that’s enough of a DNA trail for authorities to zero in on a suspect.”
That’s not how the process works. From what I understand from LEO who do this stuff for a living, Ancestry.com, 23 and Me, etc., don’t just turn over its DNA database to LEO with without a warrant, and a warrant will only be issued if LEO already has a suspect. More likely, Kohberger or a close family member voluntarily uploaded DNA sequences to a public site where the DNA is available to anyone who asks.
With that said, the big lead was the tip about the white Hyundai Electra. LEO probably learned from the WSU campus police that an on-campus parking permit was issued to Kohberger, who had a graduate student and office on campus, and from there LEO took a DNA sample from a coffee cup, soda can, etc.

Am I wrong for not believing a single thing the stasi FBI does? Do I believe they would fabricate any and all evidence to solve this horrible mass murder? Yes, yes I do.
Or ask yourself... Can you trust the FBI to not just pick someone up they don’t like and fabricate or plant the evidence they need to arrest someone? You assume they caught a murderer because, they say so. Do we trust them after years of lies, fabrication, the FBI lab lies, RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.... I sure hope this guy was the perp. Can we trust the FBI to assure us he is because of evidence the FIB used? Sadly, we can’t.
And the US Navy took my blood and sequenced it in 1988 when I went to boot camp.
I’ve been in every government database relevant (and non-relevant) since then.
Have DemoMarxists released any photoshopped pics of him yet wearing a MAGA hat?
And marry a fat woman.
