Daily News | DNA analysis of trash from parents’ Pa. home helped identify suspect in Idaho killings, documents say
Police began to zero in on Kohberger after finding a “tan leather knife sheath” at the scene next to Mogen, the affidavit says. Forensic analysts located a “single source of male DNA” on the sheath’s button snap.
A surviving roommate identified as D.M. told police that on Nov. 13, the night of the killings, she saw a man “clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person’s mouth and nose walking towards her.” She described him as 5-foot-10 or taller, and “not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows,” according to the affidavit. Police say that Kohberger, at six feet tall and 185 pounds, matches that description.
The vehicle arrived back on the nearby campus of Washington State University, where Kohberger was a doctoral student in the school’s criminal justice and criminology department, at about 5:25 a.m. Police believe the killings occurred between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. Cell phone records for a device registered to Kohberger matched the path of his vehicle on the night of the killings, the affidavit says. Police, however, were not able to track it to the car’s path because it appeared to have been off for about two hours, which authorities said is “consistent with Kohberger attempting to conceal his location during the quadruple homicide.”
