In a new court filing by an attorney for Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the stabbing deaths of 4 University of Idaho students last fall, attorney Jay Logsdon argues 'there is no connection between Mr. Kohberger and the victims.'
The mysterious killings left the community on edge for more than a month before Kohberger was arrested. Officials have yet to offer any motive in the killings. A judge has issued a strict gag order in the case, prohibiting all attorneys — prosecutors, defense lawyers, and those representing victims and witnesses — from saying anything publicly beyond what is already in the public record.
"To this date, the defense is unaware of what sort of testing, if any, was conducted on these samples other than the STR DNA profiles," according to the filing. Prosecutors disclosed last week in their motion that the FBI went to publicly held DNA sites, similar to online sites like Ancestry.com or 23andMe, with unknown male DNA from the knife sheath and utilized genetic genealogy, "then sent local law enforcement a tip to investigate," Kohberger.
