Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger's Family Home Searched; Police Found 2 Knives, Gun

Authorities searched the parents' home of Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger after he was arrested in December, and they found two knives, a gun, and face masks.

These findings were made public in a new search warrant unsealed Tuesday. According to PEOPLE, the items confiscated from Kohberger's family home in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, include a Smith and Wesson pocket knife, another knife of unidentified make, a .40-calibre Glock 22 pistol with three empty magazines, black face masks, black gloves, a black hat, and "green leafy substance in a plastic bag."

The warrant also noted that a cell phone, laptop, power cable, vehicle paperwork, prescription, "book with underlining on page 118," and some documents, including Kohberger's AT&T bill, were collected from the home.

Citing the court documents, BBC reported that investigators also confiscated and eventually dismantled a white 2015 Hyundai Elantra that the Idaho murder suspect had occasionally driven.

A different search warrant unsealed earlier this week showed that police took a T-shirt, a Washington State Cougars sweatshirt, a pair of Nike shoes, black socks, black shorts, black boxers, four medical-style gloves, a flashlight, and a cheek swab from Kohberger and his parents' home at the time of his arrest.

Another search warrant unsealed last month revealed that investigators confiscated "nine possible hair strands" and "one possible animal hair strand" from Kohberger's apartment at Steptoe Village in Washington State University in Pullman, where he was a criminology student and teacher's assistant, on the day of his arrest.

Police 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, which were sent to a lab for testing, were also confiscated.

Authorities also reportedly 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, where he was a teaching assistant and graduate student pursuing criminology.

Probable Cause Affidavit on Idaho Murder Suspect Bryan Kohberger's Case

According to the probable cause affidavit released in January, one of the two roommates who survived the University of Idaho murders said she came face-to-face with the killer, who is suspected to be Bryan Kohberger.

Dylan Mortensen described her terrifying encounter with the suspect dressed in all black when she opened her bedroom door after hearing a noise shortly after 4 a.m. Mortensen, who lived through the attack with Bethany Funke, said the black-clad figure wore a mask covering his mouth and nose.

She noted that the 5′ 10″ tall male, who is "not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows," walked past her as the man approached the back sliding glass door, and she stood in a "frozen shock phase."

Mortensen told cops that she heard the man say, "It's ok, I'm here to help you," and let her survive as well as Funke. Mortensen said she locked herself in her room after seeing the man who wandered the house committing the crime.

Aside from the two roommates, the killer also spared Kaylee Gonclaves' dog. The affidavit also included details of how Kohberger's DNA was found on a knife sheath lying close to the bodies of Gonclaves and Maddie Mogen.

CNN reported that trash recovered from Kohberger's family home and sent to the Idaho State Lab for DNA testing showed that the "DNA profile obtained from the trash" matched the DNA found on the tan leather knife sheath.

Phone records also showed that the Idaho murder suspect was near the victims' residence numerous times in the months before the killings.

Idaho Murders

Bryan Kohberger was arrested on December 30 at his parent's home and was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary for the November 13 killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.

He allegedly stabbed the four college students to death inside their off-campus home in Moscow City, Idaho. Mogen, Kernodle, and Gonclaves had two other roommates in the six-bedroom house while Chapin was dating Kernodle, who was staying that night.

The four victims were all stabbed using a fixed-blade knife between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on both the second and third floors. The murder weapon was not recovered, but its sheath was found at the crime scene.

Moscow residents, students, and victims' families complained about the limited and contradictory information released by public officials. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt previously confirmed that the students' cause and manner of death were homicide by stabbings.

Mabbutt added that the victims were likely ambushed in their sleep, and each had multiple stab wounds.
