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.

Reporter from New York Post spoke to two aunts, at least was just by marriage, & since divorced from accused’s uncle. She said she broke the news to one if them, and neither she or the other aunt, seemed surprised.

Who knows, but I’d bet on early-mid twenties schizophrenic onset.

Was he waiting for Biden to forgive all his student loans?
If he is the killer, he must be a very sick sicko.

I saw this today on twitter. It's a tiktok video of a man talking about the murders. At one point in the video you can see a decent reflection of the man speaking, and people think it's Bryan. Looks like him. You don't need a tiktok account to watch the video.

I wonder how they knew who to look for, as no talk of previous arrests.

I'd guess they had his DNA early on but without previous arrests it took time to figure out who it belonged to.

If you read about his background, he looked like he might have been going for a CSI type career and his cheese had already slid off of his cracker. Pure speculation on my part as I know nothing of the details except what the propaganda media have put forth.

because then they can avoid saying he’s a democrat.

A of stupid people I know think Libertarian is close to Democrat because they both “believe in freedom” or something....

He is 28-—They didn’t need to have him there.

ANYONE who ever makes such a demand of me will find out that there are OTHER uses for cast iron pans.

It’s difficult to envision a libertarian criminology major. One or they other I get but it’s like a Marxist economist, one can’t be both.

Wow!

I agree that this TikTok video will be established to be Bryan!

He knows too much detail, the reflection does look like him, and his pretense that he's related to somebody inside the investigation is fiction.

The two writers are based in NYC.

NYC is not overseas.

True, but it seems to be a whole different planet than nearly all of the USA.

The house was a revolving door of people and parties. The dog probably got used to it and sensed nothing unusual.

He was also under surveillance and could have retrieved DNA from his trash.

Because the militant vegan leans too far left for comfort.
