Overview

• Unsealed police records reveal Kohberger stored ID badges from two acquaintances as mementos in his car’s glove compartment before the November 2022 killings.
• Despite releasing more than 300 investigative files, authorities have not identified a motive or recovered the Ka-Bar knife used in the murders.
• Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson cautioned that injuries inconsistent with the recovered evidence leave open the possibility a second weapon was involved.
• Investigators linked Kohberger to the crime scene through DNA, cell-phone data, surveillance footage and vehicle-location logs.
• Kohberger is serving four consecutive life sentences without parole in restrictive housing at Idaho’s maximum-security prison and has declined to address the court on motive.
