New Evidence Incriminating Bryan Kohberger 1

NBC Dateline has a new special premiering tonight about the Bryan Kohberger case. The special includes some information that hasn’t been revealed to the public previously. For instance, a white car like the one owned by Bryan Kohberger was seen circling the area on the night of the murders.

From NBC News:

In the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022, when four University of Idaho students would be stabbed to death in an off-campus house as some of them slept, a neighbor’s home security video system captured the same white car circling the block multiple times. The vehicle approached the house again and again before it sped away 13 minutes later.

Dateline also got a look at cell phone data showing he was in the area of the crimes dozens of times prior to the murders.

Cellphone tower data and phone records also obtained by “Dateline” indicate that an FBI cellphone expert said Kohberger’s phone connected to a cell tower providing coverage within 100 meters of the rental house at 1122 King Road. It connected 23 visits over four months, all after dark. One visit was just six days before the killings…

Kohberger’s lawyers have said in court filings that Kohberger would take drives alone late at night, often hiking or stargazing, and they contend cellphone data shows he was not near the crime scene when the killings occurred.

On the night of the murder’s Kohberger’s phone went off around 3 am and then came back on around 4:45 am, showing him driving south of the city and heading home. So I’m not sure how cellphone data could show him anywhere at the time of the murders (just after 4 am) since his phone was off.

Dateline has also revealed some internet searches that are going to be hard to explain away.

In late September, records from the criminology student’s phone and in possession of law enforcement included an internet search for “Sociopathic Traits in College Student,” and the following month, there was a search for pornography containing keywords “drugged” and “sleeping.”…

In the days after the murders, there was browsing activity on Kohberger’s phone that law enforcement would later collect forensically. One Google search was for “University of Idaho Murders.” Other searches were for a program about serial killer Ted Bundy and a YouTube video about the King Road victims…

…the search history on Kohberger’s phone would show more videos of Ted Bundy, the song “Criminal” by Britney Spears and additional selfies, including Kohberger wearing a black hoodie like how Bundy was dressed in a program viewed on YouTube.

Here’s the creepy selfie he took trying to look like Bundy.

But the most incriminating evidence against him is his DNA found on the sheath of a knife left behind at the crime scene. The knife itself was never found but we don know that Kohberger purchased precisely this kind of knife and sheath on Amazon just seven months prior to the crime.

Court documents filed Monday said the state obtained a search warrant for Kohberger’s Amazon activity pertaining to knives and accessories, his payment methods and details of items he added and removed from his cart…

In arguing the judge should admit the evidence, prosecutors said Kohberger’s Amazon activity showing the purchase of a Ka-Bar knife and sheath before the homicides made it more probable that the Ka-Bar sheath found at the crime scene was his.

Dateline reveals that after the crime Kohberger went back on Amazon and looked at the same Ka-Bar knife. He went so far as clicking the “Buy It Now” button. Was he planning to use the new knife to claim he’d never lost the one he bought earlier? We don’t know for certain but whatever he was thinking he had second thoughts and instead of buying a 2nd one he closed the window.

Kohberger’s trial is scheduled to begin in August. The Today Show ran a promo for the new Dateline special. Here it is.
