- Investigators have demanded social media platforms turnover Bryan Kohberger's account info.
- Prosecutors believe his social media footprint could shed light on the killings of four college students.
Investigators probing the deaths of four college students in Idaho believe suspect Bryan Kohberger's social media history may shed more light on the killings.
The Latah County Prosecutor's Office issued search warrants to TikTok, Strava, Reddit, Google, and Snapchat, seeking Kohberger's social media accounts, according to court documents obtained by Insider.
They believe that his digital footprint may shed more light on his relationship with the slain college students — Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, and Madison Mogen — or what might have motivated the crime.
Prosecutors contend that Kohberger, a doctoral student in criminology at nearby Washington State University, broke into the students' home and stabbed them to death.
In court documents, forensic Det. Lawrence Mowery said investigators needed the data because "there is probable cause to believe" that the accounts include "information related to the investigation into the crimes of homicide and/or burglary" at the address where the attack happened in November 2022.
Investigators demanded Kohberger's profiles, search history, usernames, all messages, photos, and a list of people he followed or unfollowed, the warrants show.
Last month, a grand jury indicted Kohberger on charges, including four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. He remained silent during his arraignment, so the judge entered a plea of not guilty on his behalf.
Kohberger is expected to face trial in October.
