Washington State University police found potential evidence, including a possibly blood-stained mattress cover, human hairs, a glove, and a computer, in the apartment of murder suspect Brian Kohlberger. They also discovered shoes with matching footprints to the crime scene and data compilations about the victims. Kohlberger is accused of masterminding and carrying out a vicious spree that resulted in four students being stabbed to death. The police obtained a DNA sample from his family's trash, which matched DNA on the knife sheath left at the crime scene. Phone records and a car near the crime scene also implicated Kohlberger. He has been charged with four counts of murder and is currently in jail awaiting his next court date in June. He has expressed his intention to plead not guilty. Washington State University police recovered a possibly blood-stained mattress cover, human hairs, a glove, and a computer from University of Idaho murder suspect Brian Kohlberger's apartment, according to the search warrant unsealed in Washington court on Wednesday. Police executed a search warrant at a 28-year-old Ph.D. student's residence and office at Washington State University in Pullman on December 29, the same day as Pennsylvania police and a SWAT team had raided his parents' house and taken him into custody in the early hours of the morning. According to the search warrant, the Washington State University police also seized two cuttings from an encased pillow with a reddish-brown stain, one nitride-type black glove, eight possible hair strands, a possible animal hair strand, and other evidence, including blood stains, that were sent to the lab for testing, which could all link Kohlberger to the crime scene. Police also found shoes with diamond-patterned soles, matching footprints found at the murder scene, as well as data compilations of information about the victims. Kohlberger was charged with masterminding and carrying out the vicious November 13 Kaling spree in Moscow, Idaho, a 10-minute drive from his residence, which saw four defenseless students knifed to death as they slept. The FBI had trailed Kohlberger as he drove from Washington to his home state with his father for the holidays. Kohlberger's third detective had staked him out and collected a sample of DNA from his family's trash, which matched DNA found on the knife sheath left at the crime scene, which gave the police the last piece of evidence they needed to issue an arrest warrant. It was later revealed police said they had zeroed in on Kohlberger after identifying a car near the crime scene which matched the description of his own car, a Hyundai Elantra, which he also used to drive back to Pennsylvania. They then obtained phone records which placed the medical location of the murders on at least 12 locations. The warrant the Washington University Police prepared, which was signed off on by a judge, listed the things that they were looking for, which included blood or human tissue or skin cells or items with those on them, dime sheets or sharp tubes including any dugger or sword, images of the victims, their roommates and their homes, clothes, and any data devices such as a computer or phones which could contain information about the victims or plans for the murder. Kohlberger has now been charged with four counts of murder over the deaths. Best friends Carrie Goncalves and Madison Morgan were stabbed while in the same bed on the third floor of their house, while Xana Cannadale and boyfriend Ethan Chapman were killed in the bedroom on the second floor of their property. Kohlberger is currently held in jail in Moscow. He has yet to enter a plea in the case and will not do so until his next court date in June. He has previously hinted through his lawyers he intends to plead not guilty and is eager to be exonerated.
