Bryan Kohberger appears in court in Idaho for the first time
Bryan Kohberger’s distinct eyebrows may have first linked him to the 13 November murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
According to Air Mail’s “The Eyes of a Killer: Part Two”, a lead investigator first had an inkling that Mr Kohberger would become a suspect after he ran the Washington State University (WSU) PhD student’s licence plate and noticed his “bushy eyebrows”.
One of the surviving roommates at the student home had recounted how she unknowingly saw her friends’ killer leaving the scene before going back into her room in a state of shock. The woman said the killer was wearing a mask, but his “bushy eyebrows” stood out to her.
The outlet also revealed that an FBI surveillance team “lost” Mr Kohberger for several hours as he and his father began their cross-country trip from WSU to his family home in Pennsylvania. He was ultimately found and arrested on 30 December.
Meanwhile, the latest court filings show the suspect’s defence attorney’s response to the state’s request for discovery in the case. Public defender Anne Taylor writes in the 30 January filing that the defence so far has no evidence to turn over.
