Bryan Kohberger: Prosecutors Demand to See Details on Accused Idaho Killer’s Amazon Purchases
by

Prosecutors are combing through Bryan Kohberger’s online activity to and pushing to have potential evidence related to the University of Idaho murders revealed, newly-revealed court filings show.

On May 8, Latah County authorities filed a warrant for online retailer Amazon to turn over Kohberger’s browsing and purchasing history for knives and accessories between March 20-30, 2022, as well as November 1-December 6, 2022.

The warrant also requested Amazon to provide full shopping records, wish lists, viewing history, and all payment and contact information. Police aim to identify any digital footprint indicating the planning or execution of the November 13 fatal stabbing of four University of Idaho students.

The customer name and details, however, were redacted from court documents, CNN reports.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Kohberger, a Ph.D. criminal justice student at Washington State University, was arrested in December for fatally stabbing Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Kaylee Goncalves at the an off-campus home on November 13, 2022, near the University of Idaho

Investigators believe Kohberger may have used a knife he purchased online to carry out the murders. The sheath of a Ka-Bar knife was left behind at the crime scene, police previously said, and DNA found on the sheath was a “statistical match” to Kohberger’s DNA.

According to the May warrant, prosecutors asked Amazon to provide “all detailed customer click activity pertaining to knives and accessories.”

Amazon sent the requested information to investigators in June, per court documents, while two additional companies, Apple and PayPal, also provided customer information on Kohberger requested in the warrant.

Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary. Prosecutors filed court documents detailing their intent to pursue the death penalty as they deemed the four slayings were “especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel.”

Kohberger remains jailed without bail.
