However, the probable cause affidavit asserts that Kohberger drove south toward Pullman after committing the crimes.
Defense motions to suppress warrant-based evidence from AT&T, Google, and Amazon were also denied.
On March 6, 2025, text messages between the two surviving roommates were unsealed, along with the transcript of the 911 call made before first responders arrived at the crime scene.
Defense Claims Cell Phone Tracking Data Missing
Cell phone geolocation expert Sy Ray testified that he had not received the full AT&T source data, or the complete list of nearby cell towers used to track Kohberger’s movements. Ray suggested that the missing information could be beneficial to the defense.
“Because of the piecemealing of the data, because of the missing data, because of data that I’m reviewing that is incredibly inaccurate, everything that is missing is absolutely to the benefit of the defense right now,” Ray stated.
DNA Evidence and Knife Purchase
Recently unsealed court documents revealed that Kohberger had purchased a Ka-Bar knife, a sheath, and a knife sharpener on Amazon eight months before the murders.
