The FBI agent tasked with uncovering the digital footprint of Idaho mass murderer Bryan Kohberger has revealed for the first time that the killer’s calculated efforts to wipe clean his online life played a crucial role in proving his guilt.
Jeff Tanzola, a supervisory special agent in Philadelphia’s FBI field office, explained to The Independent this week how large amounts of data — text messages, Google searches, buffer logs, privacy dashboards, battery stats and usage — were missing from Kohberger’s phone and laptop, when those devices landed on his desk in 2023.
