New court documents have shed light on the prosecution's case against Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022.
The filings reveal investigators found disturbing evidence linking Kohberger to the crime scene, including DNA matching on a knife sheath left near one victim's body. Prosecutors allege the 28-year-old criminology student meticulously planned the attacks.
The Night of Horror
On November 13, 2022, four students - Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 - were stabbed to death in their off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho. The crime sent shockwaves through the small college town and made national headlines.
Building the Case
Investigators traced Kohberger's movements through:
- Cell phone data placing him near the crime scene
- Surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra matching his car
- Eyewitness accounts describing a masked figure
Forensic experts reportedly found the suspect's DNA on a knife sheath left at the scene - a critical piece of evidence in this capital murder case.
What Comes Next
Kohberger maintains his innocence through his legal team. The trial, expected to begin in 2024, could last months as both sides present complex forensic evidence. If convicted, Kohberger faces the death penalty in Idaho.
The case continues to captivate true crime enthusiasts and legal experts alike, raising questions about campus safety and criminal psychology.
