Evidence confirmed in court filings:

[ https://coi.isc.idaho.gov/docs/Cases/CR01-24-31665-25.html ]

A large amount of Kohberger's DNA was on a USMC Kabar knife sheath found under the body of a victim stabbed with a matching knife type (large, fixed blade knife).

Sheath snap DNA was single source from Kohberger. The DNA profile was robust and complete, with full STR profile across 22 loci. Two different DNA profile types (STR and SNP) were generated at separate labs (ISP Forensics lab and Othram); and these profiles were used in 4 comparative processes that all “matched” to Kohberger including direct comparison with his cheek swab, identification of his father as the father of the DNA donor, and family tree mapping via Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG).

The direct comparison of Kohberger's DNA from buccal swab to the sheath DNA had a random match probability of 5.37 octillion to 1.

The quantity of Kohberger's DNA on the sheath was large, equivalent to c 100,000 cells*.

The defence's own forensic DNA expert stated that the sheath DNA evidence was good and did not refute it was Kohberger's DNA. No technical issues around DNA collection/ profiling, method validation, statistics, quality control, potential contamination, or chain of custody were ever raised.

Kohberger purchased a USMC Kabar knife and sheath from Amazon in March 2022. This purchase was made using an Amazon gift card which Kohberger had previously bought.

The Kabar sheath Kohberger purchased before the murders was not recovered in post-arrest searches of his residences, office, car.

Kohberger browsed deletion options for his Amazon purchase history of the sheath, in the period after the murders. He also browsed for Kabar knives and sheaths, and single sheaths in this period after the murders.

Kohberger matched the eyewitness description of the height, build and ethnicity of the perpetrator seen in the house during the murders.

Kohberger purchased a balaclava before the murders from Dicks Sporting Goods which matched that described worn by the perpetrator seen in the house.

A car matching Kohberger's circled the scene 4 times shortly before the murders from c 3.30am and sped away at high speed just after the murders at c 4.20am almost losing control as it exited the cul-de-sac.

The year range, model and colour of the suspect car (2011-2016 white Elantra) matched Kohberger's car and was specified by FBI car ID specialist on November 26th, c 1 month before Kohberger was first identified as a suspect from IGG results on December 19th

The FBI car identification was based on 44 video observations of the car from 21 videos at and very close to the scene (0.2 miles to 0.6 miles) from 3.26am onward.

Some videos showed the suspect car close to and driving toward the scene had no front license plate - at that time Kohberger's car had no front plate with only a rear Pennsylvania plate.

Kohberger applied to change his car registration to Washington state plates 5 days after the murders on November 18th.

After downloading Moscow Police updates on the search for a white Elantra later in December, Kohberger started Googling for car auto body/ detailing services and second hand car sales/ purchases

Around half of the car videos had synchronous phone location/ movement data of Kohberger's phone. Including from 2km south of the scene at 4.48am back to area of his apartment in Pullman.

Kohberger's phone was turned off manually, at full battery, over the period of the murders from 2.54am to 4.48am, and turned back on 23 minutes after the suspect car fled the scene. Cellular data was also disabled at this time.

Phone data shows Kohberger’s phone moved from the area of his apartment in Pullman at c 2.42am, through central Pullman toward the main road to Moscow at c 2.47-2.54am and then (after being shut off and turned on later) to area 2km south of the murder scene, shortly after the murders at 4.48am

Phone data placing Kohberger a short drive from the scene at 2.54am (Pullman) and 4.48am (2km south of Moscow, Paradise Ridge area near Blaine) are incompatible with an alibi.

Kohberger logged into his Google account using a back-up email at 4.49am when his phone was manually powered back on.

Kohberger browsed a police scanner on the early morning of November 13th.

Kohberger returned to the area near the scene a few hours after the murders at 9.12am and stayed there for 10 minutes.

Kohberger took a “thumbs up” selfie after returning home at 10.33am

Kohberger did not submit an alibi claiming to be at any place away from the scene at the time - the presiding judge described his filing as “not really an alibi” and “a so called alibi”

Historical phone data showed Kohberger was near the scene on 23 prior occasions all of which were late at night/ in the very early morning, 10.00pm to 4.00am.

None of Kohberger's shopping/ card transactions occurred in Moscow in the timeframe of his 23 late night visits to area, including his c 30 supermarket visits preceding the murders

Kohberger's habit of numerous, frequent visits to Moscow/ area of the scene stopped abruptly at 9.30am on November 13th. He never returned to Moscow (with his phone) after this.

Kohberger started using cash withdrawals on the day of the murders, having not done so previously in the months examined by FBI forensic accountancy specialists.

There were extensive deletions from Kohberger’s electronic devices over the month before and just after the murders, consistent with use of anti-forensics “wiping” software.

Kohberger searched for and downloaded documents on fingerprint identification on November 14th 2022, downloaded the MPD investigation updates and after downloading updates on MPD search for white Elantra he Googled car auto body/ detailing services and second hand car sales

Kohberger's car, upon his arrest, was described by the prosecutor as "meticulously clean". Kohberger was seen entering the garage of his parent's house where his car was parked wearing gloves shortly before his arrest, and a bucket of cleaning solution was found beside his car.

Kohberger pled guilty to a charge of burglary and 4 charges of first degree murder on July 2nd 2025.

Kohberger had stolen other women' s ID cards (not the Moscow victims) and kept these in a glove in a box, which were found during search post-arrest.

Kohberger searched for rape porn, including terms "asleep", "forced", "passed out", “voyeurism”; his porn consumption was exclusively non-consensual sex acts.

Kohberger disabled location services and Wi-Fi on his phone 2 days before the murders.

ISP police interviews detail 13 complaints about Kohberger's behaviour at WSU including following women to their cars, creepy behaviour watching and blocking women in their offices, misogynistic/ sexist and homophobic remarks. Several women including administrative staff were being escorted to their cars at night because of incidents with Kohberger following them.

Kohberger was terminated from his TA role at WSU on December 19th 2022, before his arrest.

A WSU Criminology professor whose research focussed on sex offenders wrote re the disciplinary investigation of Kohberger, before his arrest: "Mark my words, I work with predators - that's the guy that ....we will hear is harassing, stalking, and sexually abusing his students".

ISP interviews of WSU colleagues and students noted several reports of Kohberger having visible injuries to his hands, knuckles around the date of and after the murders. These were described as significant (e.g. “like his knuckles hit asphalt”) - Kohberger variously explained these to different individuals as being caused by "a silly indoor accident", "boxing" and "being in a car crash"

Cellebrite (digital forensics experts for prosecution) who examined the high resolution "thumbs up" selfie from 10.33am November 13th reported a band-aid on Kohberger's hand in that photo.

Neighbours close to the King Road cul-de-sac had noticed a man matching Kohberger’s description acting strangely in backyards in the area in months before the murders, and a driver sitting in a white sedan had been seen loitering in the same area earlier

Kohberger had browsed photos of many young UoI women, including close female friends of the victims, on his phone.

Kohberger purchased two power-bank inverters and car cables (used to power appliances remotely for camping, in RVs/ cars) at Harbor Freight in the week after the murders; these were not recovered after his arrest.
