Overview
- State and defense objections ask the court not to unseal witness names, addresses and contact details, arguing disclosure would be an unwarranted invasion of privacy given ongoing scrutiny.
- Prosecutors cited documented incidents of harassment, stalking, threats, physical surveillance, trespassing and vandalism targeting people linked to the case.
- Examples in filings include death threats and online attacks directed at surviving roommate Bethany Funke and a defamation lawsuit filed by professor Rebecca Scofield after false social‑media accusations.
- Separately, victims’ families are in court seeking a permanent order blocking additional crime‑scene images, after a temporary injunction was granted earlier this month by Judge Megan Marshall.
- A newly released police report describes a June 30, 2022 Pullman hotel encounter where Bryan Kohberger complained about an overcharge and later discussed sheaths and collecting knives with an employee.
