What authorities found at University of Idaho stabbings suspect Bryan Kohberger's home
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — Law enforcement officials seized dark clothing, medical gloves, a flashlight and other items from a Pennsylvania home where they arrested Bryan Kohberger, a graduate student charged with stabbing four University of Idaho students to death, according to newly unsealed court documents.
The records were made public Tuesday, two months after Pennsylvania State Police arrested Kohberger at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania.
More warrants are expected to be released Thursday in the case.
Kohberger, a 28-year-old former doctoral student at Washington State University, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary in connection with the stabbing deaths in Moscow, Idaho.
The bodies of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found on Nov. 13, 2022, at a rental home across the street from the University of Idaho campus. The slayings shocked the rural Idaho community and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Kohberger was a graduate student studying criminology at Washington State University.
Pennsylvania State Police swabbed Kohberger's DNA and seized a silver flashlight, four "medical-style gloves," a white Arizona Jean Co. T-shirt, a black Champion sweatshirt, a pair of black-and-white size 13 Nike shoes, black Under Armour socks, black Under Armour shorts and black Under Armour boxers, according to an inventory of the items.
The significance of the items, if any, was not immediately clear.
Former Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey was asked about the case.
"I think they have a pretty strong case just based on that. At least circumstantial, they still don't have a murder weapon. It would be great if they found it."
A roommate who lived in the home where the attack took place has told authorities she was awakened in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, opened her bedroom door and saw a masked figure clad in black clothing walking past her.
Kohberger's preliminary hearing is scheduled for late June. He has yet to enter a plea.
Additional warrants from Kohberger's arrest in Pennsylvania are due to be made public Wednesday.
Investigators seized stained bedding, strands of what looked like hair and a single glove — but no weapon — when they searched Kohberger's Washington state apartment, according to documents released in January.
