Summary
The probable cause affidavit explaining why Brian Kohberger is the prime suspect in the murders of four Idaho students has been released. The documents contain some bombshell details, including the fact that one of the surviving roommates saw an intruder moments after the stabbings.
According to the affidavit, the surviving roommates said everyone in the home was asleep by 4 a.m. on November 13, except for victim Xana Kernodle. She had made a food order through Doordash and had used TikTok at 4:12 a.m.
One of the surviving roommates said they later heard a male voice say something like, “‘It’s ok, I’m going to help you.”
That roommate claimed they opened their door to spot a man in a mask walking toward her. She claimed she did not know the man, who she described as being athletically built with bushy eyebrows.
The suspect reportedly walked past the roommate and left the home through a sliding door. The roommate said she stood there in shock but eventually locked herself in her room.
The affidavit also alleges that Kohberger's phone was in the area of the home more than 12 times before the November 13 slayings.
According to the affidavit, Kohberger’s DNA was found on a knife sheath next to Maddie Mogen’s body. Cops reportedly acquired his DNA on December 27 by taking trash from his family’s home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania. The trash sample was reportedly a 99.98 percent match to the DNA located at the crime scene.

| 0:05.0 | The world that I inhabited gave me inside into things that most of the general public can't even |
| 0:10.3 | begin to imagine, always having to view the abnormal in the context of the normal. To make them make |
| 0:16.7 | sense, if you will, when all is said and done, I was the voice of the dead. Listen to body bags with |
| 0:22.9 | Joseph Scott Morgan on the iHeart radio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. |

| 0:44.3 | Finally, the probable cause of a day vet for the suspect in the brutal |
| 0:50.8 | flayings of four beautiful young Idaho University students has been unsealed. And what about |
| 1:00.4 | Shell from DNA to cell phone records? It goes on and on. |
| 1:07.3 | Police now believe and reveal that they say Brian Coburger stopped the four victims all the way |
| 1:16.8 | back until June, watching them at odd hours late in the night and early early in the morning hours |
| 1:25.6 | very similar to the times the murders took place. I mean, it's e Grace. This is Crime stories. |
| 1:31.8 | Thank you for being with us here at Fox Nation and Series XM111. This probable cause |
| 1:38.1 | of a day that has also spun out more questions than answers. For instance, take a listen to our |
| 1:46.8 | friends at King five. The first thing coming out of this is that one of the surviving roommates |
| 1:52.6 | in that home tells investigators she was woken up by the sound of crying and saw a masked man dressed |
| 1:59.2 | in black walk right by her. Another big takeaway is that investigators say DNA was found on a knife |
| 2:06.3 | sheath found at the crime scene. A small piece of DNA was found on there. And then DNA taken from |
| 2:12.6 | Coburger's family home in Pennsylvania was matched to that knife sheath. They say with more than 99.9 |
| 2:19.7 | percent accuracy. 99.9998 percent accuracy. Excluding all other possibilities that that DNA came |
| 2:33.6 | from anyone other than the killer's biological father. Again, thank you for being with us here |
| 2:42.8 | at Crime Stories. You've got an all-star panel to make sense of what we are learning now |
