Bryan Kohberger search warrant highlights missing evidence in Idaho murders

Following the release of records revealing evidence seized from Brian Kohberger’s Pullman apartment, several key items related to the crime are still unaccounted for.

The most important thing is the weapon used in the stabbing, which the police have repeatedly described as a knife. A knife casing was found next to the victim, Madison Mogen, along with DNA evidence, leading investigators to Mr. Kohberger as the suspect.

Also, the clothes that the killers wore at the time of the murder were also not found.

The most important evidence seized was a computer tower, which could provide information about the lead-up to the crimes.

Goncalves’ mother, Christy Goncalves, shared that Jack Ducoeur is behind an Instagram account dedicated to Murphy, the pet dog who was found inside the home when police conducted an incriminating search on Nov. 13.

The dog was handed over to animal services and later released to Mr Ducoor.

Although the couple recently broke up before Goncalves moved to Texas, they remain friendly, their relatives have said.

On the account’s first post on Monday, Mr Ducoeur posted a photo of the Labradoodle with the caption: “Missing my mom every day, but trying to live my best life. I’m looking forward to seeing her in the sky this evening.” Had the opportunity to admire the beauty.

“This is a fake photo of me. My mom loved it,” read another post.

“This hurts my heart. You are a good boy Murphy. So glad you and your dad have each other,” wrote one Instagram user. “You will be best friends for life. Lots of love and sympathy to all grieving Kylie.”

When they searched Brian Kohberger’s Washington state apartment, investigators seized stained bedding, strands of what looked like hair, and a glove.

A Washington state judge unsealed search warrants for Mr Kohberger’s home and Washington State University office on Tuesday.

Mr Kohberger has been charged with first-degree murder and four counts of burglary in connection with the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Zana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the neighboring town of Moscow, Idaho.

Investigators found nothing notable in Kohberger’s office at WSU, where he was a teaching assistant and graduate student studying criminology.

They took 15 items from her on-campus apartment, including a nitrite-type black glove, cuttings from a reddish-brown stained pillowcase, and a stained mattress cover.

According to officials, at around 11.40 pm on November 12, police were called to a report of an accident in front of an apartment complex on the Washington State University (WSU) campus in Pullman, Washington state.

The apartment complex, which houses mainly graduate or PhD students, had been Mr. Kohberger’s home since August, when he moved from his home state of Pennsylvania to start a PhD program in criminal justice at the university.

One of the pieces of evidence seized from the home of Idaho murder suspect Brian Kohberger was a “possible animal hair” – leading to speculation that it could be from victim Kaylee Goncalves’ dog.

Included in the list of seizures was a “possible animal hair strand”. Mr. Kohberger is not believed to have had any pets, Goncalves, one of the victims he was accused of killing, had a dog that was at home at the time of the murders.

IndependentGustaf Kilander and Rachel Sharp have the story:

Duncan Levine, a former assistant district attorney in the Manhattan DA’s office with no official ties to the Idaho slayings, spoke to Independent What to expect next regarding the strength of the criminal case as it makes its way through the courts.

At his status hearing at the Latah County Courthouse on January 12, Brian Kohberger waived his right to an expedited trial – which would have given him a preliminary hearing within 14 days.

Instead, his lawyer asked that the next court date be delayed until the summer to give the defense more time to review all the evidence in the case.

The prosecution agreed to the request and the judge set a preliminary hearing for the week beginning June 26, setting aside the entire week for the hearing.

Officers reached the spot on November 13 at the student’s house on King Road

Now, the families of the victims and the public will have to wait another six months to learn more about the murders and the case against Mr Kohberger.

Mr Levin said the six-month time gap between the status hearing and the preliminary hearing was “somewhat unusual” but an indicator of the complexity of the case.

“It is somewhat unusual to see such a long gap but then there is nothing unusual in this case,” he added.

“Death penalty cases mean that everything will take longer and be done a little differently than you would expect to see in a typical case.”

He said that the delay of six months is beneficial for both the parties.

“The defense desires to be given as much time as possible to conduct its investigation before having an opportunity of cross-examining the State’s witnesses. Therefore, before any testimony is heard at the preliminary hearing, they may wish to have as much information in their hands as possible.” Looking forward to,” he said.

“Similarly, the prosecution needs time to conduct further investigation. For example, they will likely be conducting a forensic examination of Kohburger’s automobile and residence. And they haven’t yet been able to uncover a motive. He still has a lot of work to do.”

He added: “Both sides really need more time to review the evidence and develop their cases.”

When Brian Kohberger was charged last month with the brutal murders of four Idaho students, authorities immediately searched his dorm room and office at Washington State University.

First, the application filed in Washington’s Superior Court on December 29 requires police to search for “blood, or other bodily fluids or human tissue or skin cells, or items with blood or other bodily fluids or human tissue or skin cells.” was allowed to do. Belongings.”
