University of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger has “no connection” to the victims, his defense team insisted in court documents filed ahead of the former graduate student’s hearing on Tuesday.
Investigators in the high-profile case failed to disclose the precise means by which they identified Kohberger, 28, as the primary suspect in the Nov. 13 stabbing spree that killed Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, Kohberger’s defense alleges in the June 22 filing, according to Fox News Digital.
“It remains unclear what the police first relied on in focusing their investigation on Mr. Kohberger,” the argument states.
“There is no connection between Mr. Kohberger and the victims.”
Shortly after Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania on Dec. 30, a probable cause affidavit indicated that police linked him to the grisly crime using DNA from a knife sheath found at the scene, as well as cell phone data that placed his vehicle in the Moscow neighborhood several times in the months leading up to the killings.
