A 28-year-old graduate student faces four counts of murder – but families of the victims await answers to the question of why
For a student of criminology, Bryan Kohberger appears to have been remarkably indifferent to modern methods of detective work., who were repeatedly stabbed in their beds with a large knife, was snared by procedures that are the nuts and bolts of police television dramas: cameras tracking his car, cellphone records placing him at the scene, and a search of DNA records collected by genealogy websites that threw up a match with Kohberger’s family.
Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, were asleep on the floor below when police allege Kohberger burst in and also killed the two 20-year-olds. A photograph taken hours before their deaths shows four students smiling together, with Mogen sitting on Gonclaves’s shoulders while Chapin has his arm around Kernodle.
Mortensen looked out of her bedroom again and this time saw a man in black wearing what looked like a ski mask over his nose and mouth. She described him as having bushy eyebrows. “As I entered this bedroom, I could see two females in a single bed in the room. Both Goncalves and Mogen were deceased with visible stab woulds,” he said.Photograph: Ted S Warren/Zuma/Rex/Shutterstock
But Kohberger was also interested in more mundane aspects of police work. Not long after beginning his course in Pullman he applied for an internship at the local police department, the same one that was now part of the murder investigation, saying that he was interested in helping rural police departments collect and analyse data.reportedEven though police had identified the car, they did not seize it.
