Dozens of newly released search warrants in the investigation into November’s University of Idaho homicides reveal for the first time how law enforcement pursued and developed evidence that led to the arrest of suspected killer Bryan Kohberger.
Based on an Idaho Statesman analysis, the hundreds of pages of redacted warrants and warrant returns, as well as Latah County prosecutor case filings to keep them all under seal, span some of the biggest companies in social media, shopping, banking and telecommunications.
Filings include Google, Apple, Walmart, Amazon and Meta — parent company of Facebook and Instagram — detailing the path police took in piecing together the four victims’ whereabouts, and learning more about the 28-year-old graduate student allegedly behind the stabbing deaths on Nov. 13.
