Police documents released after Bryan Kohbergers sentencing detail strange happenings weeks before

Bellingham, WALocal News

Bryan Kohberger received a life sentence for the stabbings of four University of Idaho students, with police documents revealing unsettling incidents at their rental home weeks before the attack. Victim Kaylee Goncalves reported seeing an unknown man watching her, and the door to their home was found ajar shortly before the murders. Police pursued numerous tips and utilized DNA evidence from a knife sheath found at the scene to link Kohberger to the crime. Investigators tracked his cellphone movements and obtained online shopping records, which indicated he purchased a military-style knife. Community members provided leads, including sightings of a nervous man near the victims' home.

Despite the extensive investigation, the motive for the killings remains a mystery, and no evidence connected Kohberger to the victims on dating apps. Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania and engaged in small talk with police before they began questioning him about the stabbings. The case has raised concerns over safety and community awareness in the area.
