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.

Once again we are looking overseas for more info on a US crime.

The two writers are based in NYC.

NYC is not overseas.

All that I could find from the article:

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. 

Authorities then discovered that he had left the area and traveled to Pennsylvania, where an FBI surveillance team had been tracking the 6ft tall man.

He was kept under surveillance, with the FBI watching him for four days, while investigators from Moscow Police and Idaho State Police worked to get an arrest warrant.

Once LE had DNA, it was a matter of time before they could narrow down the search.

He didn’t look drugged as a teen. He was drugged. A girl he knew in middle and high school has posted pics with him and said that back as a teen he was heroin addicted. He supposedly got clean, but she never knew if that was true or not. She had pics of him in their home and at school.

He was bothering one of the girls in the bar and the UBER driver said the white Elantra was following him.

Thanks but I did not search deep enough to find that out.

Common for the EU newspapers to keep correspondents in major US cities, so not surprising.

But the style is so ... Daily Mail.

He looks like a ghoul. Very creepy. Brings to mind Leopold and Loeb.

The car and the DNA. It will be interesting to find out why these 4 were picked to die. How he got in there. Why the dog didn’t bark it’s arse off. And why did he do it? Was he alone?

Those answers not known yet.

NYC is not overseas.

Actually, it was the only major city controlled by the enemy from October 1776 until the end of the American Revolution and, with short exceptions, it has remained so ever since.

Among other things, it is home to the one world United National and site of the bloodiest race riots in American history.

Jeffery Dahmer wasn’t a vegetarian.
Don’t know his politics.

Insanity comes in many flavors.

“Why is that in the title?”

Because, try as they might, they were unable to put “Republican” in the title?

I guess they figure enough people mistakenly equate “Libertarian” to “Republican” for some shade to get thrown in the Right’s direction.

(Do you think “Democrat” would’ve been used in the title if that was the case? LOL)
