Bryan Kohberger, who is accused of killing four University of Idaho
students in November 2022, was out driving west of Moscow, Idaho,
the night of the slayings, , and the defense plans to offer a cell
phone tower and radio frequency expert to partially corroborate this
account, a court document supporting an alibi defense filed Wednesday
shows.
Kohberger was driving south of Pullman, Washington, and west of Moscow,
Idaho, “as he often did to hike and run and/or see the moon and
stars,” his attorney says in the document. The two towns are about
10 miles apart.
More information on Kohberger’s location will be shared after
prosecutors provide discovery evidence previously requested, the
document says.
Due to a wide-ranging gag order, prosecutors, defense lawyers, and
attorneys for victims’ families and witnesses are prohibited from
saying anything publicly, aside from what is already in the public
record.
The filing is the latest turn in the high-profile case against
Kohberger, who is accused of fatally stabbing four Idaho college
students early on November 13, 2022. A last May on his behalf, and his
attorneys have indicated he intends to present an alibi as part of his
defense.
Kohberger’s public defenders several times have pointed to their
client’s purported penchant for taking long drives alone late at
night. In an , they wrote of the night of the killings, “Mr.
Kohberger is not claiming to be at a specific location at a specific
time.”
Still, Wednesday’s filing outlining Kohberger’s alibi had been : a
defendant to submit in writing “the specific place or places at which
the defendant claims to have been at the time of the alleged offense
and the names and addresses of the witnesses upon whom he intends to
rely to establish such alibi.”
The judge in Kohberger’s case repeatedly extended the submission
date, most recently during a hearing in late February.
Kohberger, 29, faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count
of burglary in the killings of , at a home just off the university’s
main campus in Moscow.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
