Pennsylvan­ia unseals search warrant in Idaho killings

-

STROUDSBUR­G (AP) — Law enforcemen­t officials seized dark clothing, medical gloves, a flashlight and other items from a Pennsylvan­ia home where they arrested 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 Bryan Kohberger at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvan­ia.

Kohberger, a 28-yearold 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.

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.

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.
