I’m staying with my original theory. He thinks he’s so smart and is educated to a fairly high level in all things criminal.

[@ElSantoLuchador]

All he has to do is say he went to any of ten dozen parties held at the party house and immediately all DNA evidence becomes suspect. If this is the only solid evidence they have the case is anything but a slam dunk.

[@devonglide1830]

Considering the DNA was found under the button snap, simply being in the house isn't really going to do a good job explaining it. On top of that, unless he thought ahead and turned his phone off or placed it within the house on the date he claims (his recidence was on campus, so there's probably cams there too, which might show him or his car at home), he's going to have problems proving it. He'll also still have to explain whatever else they may have, some of which are claimed to be incriminating receipts that link him to the crime, his car seeing circling the house, and his inablity to provide an alibi. Who knows though, maybe they have nothing on him and everything claimed in the afidavits and internet are all fake, only time will tell.

He studied Bundy and BTK extensively. Kohberger even posted on Reddit asking people who had committed violent crimes to tell him how they felt when doing it.

Also, nothing like BTK, thankfully. He wanted to be caught but with today's science? They would have caught him. He was closer to Zodiac. He liked playing games with the media. Though different motivators and that is part of why Zodiac was never caught. Z tied up victims only once. He changed up his game. Like Son of Sam, they didn't have the same motivators. BTK made more than a few mistakes probably because like this one, the motivator was the targets. Twice, children were in the home and once a brother. He was watching but desire made him impatient. We just have to keep pushing people to take precautions and not be the perfect victims. We have to create better, good ways for children to escape abusers. That and stop releasing known predators.

I have never understood how Kohberger was on the police radar prior to the trash being tested. That is, what directed them to suspect Kohberger prior to this.

[@sara_387]

There were two routes that LE arrived at BK. A vehicle was identified by FBI from footage around the crime scene and also the WSU campus. WSU officers then identified BK: by his car, his physical description through his licence, his vehicle had a single PA licence plate at the time (single plate on the suspect car, front and back standard in WA and ID). His phone records were later obtained and tracked with the footage of the car. BK and his father later drove his Elantra from WSU to the family home in PA. His father's DNA was obtained from the trash, compared to the (ISP lab obtained) STR from the knife sheath, and through paternity testing was not excluded (established) as belonging to the suspect's father. Running parallel to local LE investigation, the FBI conducted IGG research on the SNP profile (obtained from the knife sheath DNA in a private lab). IGG uses SNP profiles that have been voluntarily provided to databases, building a family tree with distant relative 'matches'. Much of the work doesn't involve DNA, but actually looking up births and marriages and filling in the family tree.

[@joycesinclair9397]

@ thank you. So, he initially became a suspect because of the footage of the vehicle.

[@sara_387]

@@joycesinclair9397 Yes, as a result of the footage on November 25, 2022 MPD asked area law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for white Hyundai Elantras in the area. On November 29, 2022 two WSU officers identified BK, one through the registration of the vehicle, the other by physically locating the car in a parking lot, then running his licence plate. It would still take a month to access his phone records and confirm his identity with DNA, but during that time he did also leave WSU and drive to PA. It seems the confirmation that the IGG came back as pointing to him moved things along (possibly Dec 19).

According to everyone who knew him, he was pretty much a loner, had no friends at the moment - so who was it who hated him so much that they took an item of his somehow, and transferred his DNA onto a knife sheath - at the same time not getting their DNA on it. Let's forget about motuve for a minute. So are they in his car that's seen speeding away on a local camera at the time of the murder? And are they in his car the next day when it's seen driving by around 9:00 a.m. Is that just a coincidence? Ok. Say someone's framing him and it's a coincidenc about the car make & model. Why is he in the kitchen of his parents home taking his DNA out of their garbage and putting it in the neighbor's garbage? Is that just a weird quirk he has? And lets forget about his phone pinging there, because there's people who say that is not good evidence, but apparently it was in the arrest affidavit- that they've got his phone pinging there many times before and and on that night. It's going to be hard to convince a jury. It wasn't him unless they come up with another person. That's what they have to do, imho.

I’m not sure if it’s true, but it was rumored that BK suffers from visual SNOW, but either way on the wall of their living room near the staircase there is a neon sign, just before Dylan’s room… Kohberger probably got blinded by the neon sign and didn’t even see her standing there or perhaps she was just peeking through a crack in the door either way, I don’t think he saw her. I think he was concentrating on getting out of there and where he needed to go to get out, but he definitely could have been blinded by that neon sign… also as far as his DNA getting on the sheath, he had gloves on, but I believe that his gloves ripped open while snapping open the sheath and that’s how his DNA got on the snap… as a kid, I had a leather bracelet making kit . The snap was very rough leather and every time I snapped open that bracelet it rubbed my skin on my thumb that I developed a callus from it. I would not doubt that he ripped the rubber glove on the leather snap. So if the prosecutor is reading these messages, I think this is important information to know.

because its court TV and they sensationalize everything but I mean isn't one of the fathers who is very outspoken the one who first released such info to the public.

The snap would be the only thing he touched if it was on his belt just so he could unsnap it. You dont have to touch anything else.

Agree

The lab would have been trying to find a single source DNA from the perpetrator. The snap is a perfect spot where only the perpetrator likely would have touched. Leather can be difficult to get dna from as the chemicals involved in it's production can hinder testing. Additionally, as it was in the bed, contamination from the victims can make it difficult to isolate the DNA. The lab wants a 'clean' profile, not mixtures.

I thinknits the one thing he didn't wipe down before he committed the crime. He covered his whole body, gloves, no fingerprints. Mask, not spittle. Dark clothing, he thinks he thought of everything. But he forgot to wipe down the sheath. He had to have touched it when he first bought it.

[@degande-d1w]

He was almost assuredly wearing gloves, but DNA can still be found in sweat (sweat has dead skin cells in it typically). So it wouldn't be unreasonable to think he was sweating as he as was mentally prepping to commit the crime and wiped his forehead with his gloved hand. When he's actually inside the house and goes to open the sheath, some of the sweat transfers to the sheath where he opens it. The sheath would be mostly clean except for where the sweat transfer occurred. As far as I know, they never said exactly what substance was found on the sheath, just that it matched his DNA. There was a case where a gloved hitman left touch DNA in the form of sweat on the AC button of the car of the murder victim. I can't find exact case, but I remember it from FBI Files.
