Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger Visited Restaurant Where 2 Victims Worked, Ordered Vegan Pizza Twice
Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger reportedly visited two of the four victims at a restaurant where they were working, even ordering a "strict vegan" meal.
According to PEOPLE, a former employee at the Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho, said Kohberger came to the restaurant at least twice to order a vegan pizza. The two victims, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, reportedly worked as servers in the restaurant.
It was not immediately clear if either of the victims ever served on Kohberger or if there were any interactions. Investigators have already interviewed employees and owners of the restaurant and collected surveillance video from the restaurant and surrounding businesses.
The former employee told the outlet there was nothing suspicious about Kohberger, but he stood out as he had a strict vegan order and would even ensure that his food had not come into contact with animal products.

Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger and the Victims
Almost every day, more details unfold surrounding the shocking murder of four University of Idaho students, who were stabbed to death in a home on November 13. One recent discovery was that Bryan Kohberger sent a series of messages to one of the victims on Instagram.
The female victim did not respond when the Idaho murder suspect first messaged her in late October, but it did not dissuade him from sending several more messages to her. An investigator familiar with the case told PEOPLE that Kohberger repeatedly messaged the girl, basically saying, "Hey, how are you?"
The source did not reveal which victim Kohberger had messaged but said it is possible the victim never saw the messages as they likely went into "message requests."
PEOPLE reported that a now-deleted Instagram account that appeared to belong to Kohberger had once followed both Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, along with another female victim, Kaylee Goncalves.
Investigators are reportedly still trying to determine how aware the victims were of Kohberger's existence. The 28-year-old Idaho murder suspect was a teaching assistant and graduate student pursuing criminology at Washington State University.
He previously applied for an internship with the local police department in Pullman, Washington, writing in his application essay that he was interested in helping rural law enforcement agencies collect and analyze "technological data in public safety operations."
The case affidavit detailed that Bryan Kohberger was linked to the case after his DNA was found at the crime scene and his cell phone pinging near the locations of the victims.
Idaho Murder Case
The search warrant used to retrieve evidence from the home and office of Bryan Kohberger was unsealed by a Washington state court, along with other documents, on Wednesday.
According to the search warrant, investigators confiscated "nine possible hair strands" and "one possible animal hair strand" from Kohberger's home, WKRG News 5 reported.
Law enforcement officials also got a "one nitrite type black glove" and a "computer tower" from the accused's apartment. Two cuttings from an uncased pillow with a "reddish/brown stain" and other evidence, including possible blood stains that were sent to a lab for testing, were also confiscated.
The New York Post reported that authorities also found "data compilations" of victims' information and shoes with diamond-pattern soles, which matched footprints found at the crime scene.
However, investigators did not get anything noteworthy in Kohberger's office at Washington State University. The search warrant detailed that law enforcement officials also failed to seize any weapon from the Idaho murder suspect's apartment.
Moscow Police Sgt. Dustin Baker noted in the application for the search warrant that investigators were looking for several kinds of possible evidence, including images of the stabbing victims, their home, or any information that would indicate planning murders or violence. Detectives were also looking for dark clothing, knives, and anything with DNA.
Bryan Kohberger was arrested on December 30 and was charged with four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary. He has yet to enter a plea and will reportedly do so in his next court date in June. Through his lawyers, Kohberger earlier implied that he would be entering a "not guilty" plea.
