Local police say there is no connection between Kohberger and the disappearance of Dana Smithers.
All four students had been stabbed multiple times, according to Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt – and at least some of them were likely sleeping at the start of the 4 a.m. massacre.
Despite the horrific allegations and a past drug problem, Kohberger had a squeaky clean record prior to his arrest on Dec. 30 at his parents' house – after a cross-country drive home from WSU with his dad in the suspect vehicle. However, his arrest soon led investigators in several local communities to look for potential links to unsolved cases nearby.Bodycam footage shared by Washington State University shows accused murder suspect Bryan Kohberger during a traffic stop in October 2022, a month before four students were stabbed to death at nearby University of Idaho.
"One thing about cold cases is you always look to see if your case is connected to any others, and the reason behind that is many times those cases will hold clues for each one," said Joseph Giacalone, a former NYPD sergeant who was the commanding officer of the Bronx Cold Case Squad from 2007 to 2009. "If you can put them all together, you can put together the entire package."
However, the professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice noted that not all cases turn up links — because not every suspect is a serial offender.
