A Q-Tip and spotless car were key evidence linking Bryan Kohberger to murders of 4 Idaho students

BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Attorney General, more than two years ago, at the beginning of this week to prevent the death penalty Bryan Kohberger at the beginning of a court hearing on Wednesday, on Wednesday, the fundamental evidence of the four Idaho University students were assigned to find justice.

Before entering the Kohberger Pleas, a dramatic story of the evidence summary read by the Chief Public Prosecutor Bill Thompson-a dramatic story containing a DNA-loaded Q-Type, which was severed from the garbage, made evidence that it could be “essentially dismantled”.

These details provided new information about how the crime emerged on November 13, 2022 and how the researchers solved the case using mobile phone monitoring and DNA matching. However, Sinopsis, hanging key questions that can be answered in the experiment – a reason for stabbing and why Kohberger chose all visible foreigners.

Small agricultural community In Moscow, North Idaho Panhandle, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle and Madison Mogen had no murder in a rental house near the campus.

Now 30 -year -old Kohberger, months before the crimes, Idaho, on the state line of Moscow – near the University of Washington began a doctoral degree in the field of criminal justice.

“The defendant examined the crime, Thom Thompson said when the victim’s family members fell into tears. “In fact, while working on his doctorate, he made a detailed article about the crime scene processing, and there was a set of information skills.”

What did we learn from the hearing

Kohberger’s mobile phone began to connect with cell towers in the area of ​​crime four months before stabbing, Thompson and ping ping at these towers 23 times between 10 and 4 hours at that time.

Compilation of surveillance videos from neighbors and enterprises, Kohberger’s vehicle known to the researchers in the region because of a routine traffic stopped by the police in August.

On the night of the killing, Kohberger parked behind the house and soon entered the kitchen behind the house through a sliding door. Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were moved to the third floor.

After killing both with a knife, Kohberger left a knife cover next to Mogen’s body. Both victims were later found in the case, and from a single man, with DNA, he helped researchers to identify Kohberger as a single suspect.

In the following place, another student was still awake. Xana Kernodle had recently ordered Door Dash, and Kohberger passed the roads with him and killed him with a big knife, Thom Thompson said. Later, he killed Ethan Chapin, who was sleeping in Kernodle’s bedroom.

Kohberger left two people in the house alive, including a roommate, a period of time before 4:19 in the morning, wearing a black clothes and a ski mask, “lush eyebrows oluşu we saw an uninvited guest.

Roughly after five minutes, the car can be seen on the surveillance camera of the next door neighbor. “The car is almost losing control because it creates the corner,” Thompson said.

What did Kohberger do next?

After Kohberger escaped from the scene, Thompson said his covering was detailed.

Prosecutors believe that he believes he has returned to his apartment in Washington, Pullman, Washington to avoid surveillance cameras on large roads, and Thompson said he didn’t turn his mobile phone down until 05: 26.

Later, Kohberger changed the car recording from Pennsylvania to Washington state – important for researchers scanned with surveillance camera images, as the Pennsylvania law does not require a front plate.

And when the inspectors caught him weeks later, his apartment and office in nearby Pullman was cleaned.

“Spartan would be a gentle characterization. There was nothing there, nothing with evidence value was found,” he said from the apartment of Thompson Kohberger.

The car added, “essentially dismantled inside,” he added. “He was without spot. The defendant’s car was meticulously cleaned inside.”

Q-Type breaking the case

The inspectors had developed Kohberger, but they had to prove that they were suspicious.

With the DNA of a single mysterious man in the knife case, they worked with the FBI and the local sanitation department to secretly get garbage from Kohberger’s parents’ Pennsylvania house, and searched for a DNA match with their suspects.

“At night, they performed the so -called garbage foot, Thom Thompson said, and sent it to the Forensic Medicine Laboratory of Idaho’s Forensic Medicine.

The researcher gave gold in the garbage pile: A Q-Typ containing DNA comes from the father of the person who is in the knife sheath in the bed sheet in the knife sheath of DNA. ”

However, Kohberger was arrested at the house of his parents in Pennsylvania, where he went for a holiday, and was finally returned to Idaho for prosecution.

The remaining mysteries

Even if the prosecutors elaborate that night, a key question continues: why did Kohberger target this house and victims? Did he know them? And what was his motivation?

“We do not have evidence that the defendant had direct contact with the inhabitants in 1122 or 1122, but we can put his phone in the area at that time,” he said.

Some of these evidence may have emerged at the hearing and may have made documents on the case sealed by the court until the conviction hearing on the July 23 conviction. A beak order is still valid for all lawyers in the case.

These documents include witness lists, a list of exhibitions, an analysis of evidence, additional discovery requests, applications for mitigating factors, and various unsuccessful defense movements that try to introduce alternative suspects.

Victims’ families left upon the Defense Agreement

As the situation is solved, families are divided into resolution.

The agreement predicts that Kohberger will get rid of the execution for four consecutive lifetime sentences. He also waived the right to appeal and challenge punishment.

Chapin and Mogen’s families support the agreement.

Mogen’s family said in a statement, “Now we’re going on a new way. We’re on the way to hope and healing,” he said.

Kaylee Goncalves Family clearly condemned the defense agreement before the hearing on Wednesday and his father refused to participate in the trials.

Goncalves 18 -year -old sister Aubrie Goncalves said in a Facebook article that “Bryan Kohberger faces a life in prison, but means that he will talk, establish relationships and interact with the world”.

“In the meantime, our loved ones were silenced forever,” he wrote.
