Police tracked his car near the crime scene and used cell phone data to place him in the area that night. They also found DNA evidence on a knife sheath left at the scene.
Prosecutors believe this is the key piece of evidence that ties Kohberger to the murders. His defense team argues the case is circumstantial and that no direct witnesses saw him commit the crime. His legal team also suggests DNA transfer could explain why his genetic material was found.
The court has scheduled the trial to begin in August, with legal experts predicting it will last several months. If convicted, Kohberger could face the death penalty, making this one of the most closely watched murder trials in Idaho history.
