A handgun, knives, black face masks and gloves.
Those were among the dozens of items seized from the family home of Idaho student murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, according to a search warrant unsealed Thursday.
Court documents show that Pennsylvania State Police investigators found a Glock 22 handgun with three empty magazines, a knife, and a Smith & Wesson pocketknife during an overnight raid of the house of Kohberger’s parents when he was arrested on Dec. 30.
His arrest came more than three months after students Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Xana Kernodle, 20, were killed in the November 13 attack in Moscow, Idaho, that created weeks of panic, confusion, and frustration in the small college town.
Authorities charged Kohberger, a former doctoral student in the criminal justice and criminology department at Washington State University in Pullman, about 10 miles away.
Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and a count of felony burglary for entering the house with intent to commit murder. Each of the students was stabbed while sleeping.
Kohberger became the prime suspect through a combination of DNA evidence left on a large knife sheath found at the scene, trash collected from his parents’ Pennsylvania home, surveillance video, cellphone records, and license-plate readers that tracked his car on a cross-country drive, authorities say.
