Episode 21 reviews documents filed on 12/30/22 detailing the appointment of public defender Anne C. Taylor to represent Mr. Kohberger and the invocation of rights pursuant to the federal and Idaho Constitutions. Also discussed in this episode is the 12/30/22 filing Notice of Defendant Arrested in Foreign Jurisdiction providing details of Mr. Kohberger's arrest in Pennsylvania based on the 12/2...

Episode 20 reviews the Probable Cause Order directing the arrest of Mr. Kohberger with no bail set and the warrant for his arrest, both of which were signed by the Magistrate Judge on 12/29/22. They confirm that the Court found probable cause exists based on sworn testimony, where no other sworn testimony but the Affidavit of Brett Payne was filed. Although probable cause was found, Mr. Kohberger...

Episode 19 reviews the Criminal Complaint against Mr. Kohberger docketed by the Clerk of Court at 2:43 pm on 12/29/22. Episode 19 answers the question of why the Affidavit of Probable Cause, also docketed on 12/29/22, states "Exhibit A" at the top. Mr. Kohberger has been charged with the first degree murders of Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonclaves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin and burglary....

Page 18 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause relates what is believed to be Mr. Kohberger's path of travel during the afternoon and evening of 11/13/22. Also on Pg. 18, we learn for the first time that DNA recovered from trash at the Kohberger family home in Pennsylvania was compared to DNA retrieved from the knife sheath recovered at the crime scene, with the results addressed here. Th...

Page 17 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause matches up information returned from Mr. Kohberger's cell phone provider to surveillance footage obtained from two business establishments in an effort to document his travels on 11/13/22. Pg. 17 includes what appears to be a typographical error, for the second time in this Affidavit, relating to Mr. Kohberger's cell phone number. It also...

In Page 16 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause we learn that on 12/23/22 the detective was granted a search warrant on Mr. Kohberger's cell phone to include a "Pen Register/Trap and Trace" to determine amongst other matters if he "stalked" any of the victims prior to the crimes. Records were returned per this search warrant also on 12/23/22 and were evaluated with t...

Page 15 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause includes what appears to be two unexplained contradictions regarding locations of Mr. Kohberger's cellular phone from 11/14/22, the day after the crimes at 1122 King Road, and thereafter. Also on Pg. 15, the detective for the first time declares that he believes Mr. Kohberger is likely the driver of Suspect Vehicle 1, and provides his reasoni...

Page 14 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause begins with what appears to be a typographical error in stating that Mr. Kohberger's cell phone's location was in "Uniontown, ID" and then traveled to his apartment in Pullman, WA during the early morning hours of 11/13/22. It appears the detective intended to state "Uniontown, WA" which, like Pullman, is located in Wh...

In Page 13 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that an unnamed member of the FBI Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST) assisted with determining the locations of where Mr. Kohberger's cellular phone was from 11/12/22 through 11/13/22 per records returned pursuant to a warrant for this information from AT&T. These records included "historical cell site location informa...

In Page 12 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that information returned associated with warrants seeking cellular phone numbers utilizing cellular tower resources near 1122 King Road from 3:00 am - 5:00 am on 11/13/22 did not show Mr. Kohberger's cellular phone to be in the area. We also learn that despite this lack of evidence, Pg. 12 includes the detective's opinions t...

In Page 11 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we discover that Mr. Kohberger applied and was interviewed for an internship position with the Pullman Police Department in the Fall of 2022. Pg. 11 also describes the fact that Mr. Kohberger was a Ph. D. candidate at the time with Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. We learn that law enforcement tracked Mr. Kohberger's tr...

In Page 10 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that Mr. Kohberger referred to on Pg. 10 as "Kohberg" was stopped twice while driving his vehicle prior to 11/13/22. It appears here that the detective, not the surviving roommate, makes the call that Mr. Kohberger's drivers license photograph matches the physical description the witness D.M. gave -- which was addressed...

In Page 9 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that on November 25, 2022 the Moscow Police Department asked local law enforcement agencies to be on the lookout for white Hyundai Elantras in the area. Four days later, two different Washington State University officers located one at off-campus WSU housing within 30 minutes of each other. Here on Pg. 9, Mr. Kohberger's name is i...

In Page 8 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, a description of video capturing a vehicle referred to as Suspect Vehicle 1 commencing at approximately 5:25 am on 11/13/22 (after the Affidavit states the crimes occurred) is provided. Also included in Pg. 8 is a depiction "showing Moscow and Pullman" which are neighboring college towns located approximately 10 miles away. Mr. Kohbe...

In Page 7 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that an FBI Forensics examiner with 35 years of law enforcement experience, 12 of which were the FBI, originally proffered his expert opinion that Suspect Vehicle 1 was a 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra. Pg. 7 states that however, "upon further" review this expert apparently changed his opinion to "it could also be a 2011-201...

In Page 6 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we observe what appears to be at least two (2) statements which are inconsistent with the timeline of the murders as stated in Pg. 5 of 4:00-4:25 am. We further observe what appears to be a "guess" as to what Suspect Vehicle 1's travels were near the 1122 King Road house at a point where no video captures it during this key timef...

In Page 5 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause, we learn that forensic analysis of the two surviving roommates "phone" ( singular not plural) and other evidence led investigators to conclude the timeline of the crimes at 1122 King Road occurred between 4:00 and 4:25 am. Other evidence outlined on Pg. 5 include the discovery of a single "latent" shoe print suggesting the...

In Page 4 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause we learn that sometime after 4:00 am, 1 of the 2 surviving roommates saw a male figure with bushy eyebrows clad in black with a face mask covering his mouth and nose walk towards her and then to a sliding glass door. Thereafter she went into a "frozen shock phase." Sometime before this, she stated, amongst other things, she thought sh...

Page 3 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause suggests that 2 of the victims were at 2 different locations simultaneously shortly before returning to 1122 King Road while 3 other of the victims/survivors were at the same location for several hours before immediately returning home. The whereabouts of just 1 person before returning home the Affidavit states was inside the house at the time of...

Page 2 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause leading to Mr. Kohberger's arrest is discussed here. Such matters as the discovery of a knife sheath at the crime scene and Detective Payne's interview on the day of the crimes with one of the victim's ex-boyfriend appears here. Mr. Kohberger has been charged with the first degree murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Gonclaves, Xana Kernod...

Page 1 of the 12/29/22 Affidavit of Probable Cause is discussed. This Affidavit is the document signed under penalty of perjury by Brett Payne of the Moscow Police Department stating why the evidence documented in it led MPD to believe Mr. Kohberger perpetrated the atrocities at 1122 King Road, Moscow, Idaho on November 13, 2022. Mr. Kohberger has been charged with the first degree murders of Madi...
