Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger's Motive Not Important to Be Convicted, Former FBI Agent Says

The Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger's motive has yet to be revealed to the public and law enforcement authorities, including several other things that still raise a question regarding the Idaho murder case.

A probable cause affidavit was recently released, with investigators using DNA evidence, surveillance footage, and cell phone records to commit Kohberger to the crime.

One retired FBI agent, Bobby Chacon, believed that law enforcement officials do not necessarily need to determine the Idaho murder motive to secure a murder conviction.

Chacon noted that the motive was the least important thing he did as most murder statutes do not need to prove why somebody did the crime.

The former FBI agent added that his main determination as an investigation was who did the crime and how he can prove it.

Chacon said that motive was the least import unless it is a "blunt defense motion, a defense assertion," or self-defense.

Cell phone records show that Kohberger's phone was near the area where the murders occurred at least 12 times before November 13.

Bryan Kohberger Affidavit

Authorities argued that the Idaho murder was a "targeted" attack. However, they did not release what led them to that conclusion nor who or what the target was.

The 19-page affidavit regarding the case did not also detail any connection, if there is any, between Kohberger and his murder victims.

The four victims were all students at the University of Idaho while Kohberger was getting in criminal justice Ph.D. at Washington State University.

Kohberger was just 15 minutes away from the victims over the Idaho-Washington border in Pullman.

It was unclear whether the victims knew Kohberger.

Meanwhile, Kaylee Gonclaves' father, Steve Gonclaves, said that he had found an unnamed connection between Kohberger and his daughter. However, Steve noted that he was not ready to reveal the possible connections.

Investigators believe that Kohberger stalked the victims' home at least 12 times before the November murder.

Gonclaves told friends and family that she believed she had a stalker before she was killed.

Moscow Police said that they had been unable to confirm nor confirm the claims about the details of the stalker.

Idaho Murder Case

Police responded to a report they received around 11:58 a.m. on November 13. Moscow Police found the four Idaho students dead on the second and third floors of the home.

The three other victims were identified as Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chaplin. Chaplin did not live in the home but was dating Kernodle.

Meanwhile, two other roommates survived the murder, and police said they believe they slept through the killings. However, one roommate claimed that she had seen Kohberger inside their home.

Police said that some of the victims had defensive wounds and each person was stabbed multiple times. Law enforcement also found no evidence of sexual assault.

Investigator Police Cpl. Brett Payne noted that the Idaho murder suspect's DNA was found on a knife sheath at the crime scene.

However, the Idaho murder weapon used has yet to be found.
