FBI agents witnessed Byran Kohberger dump trash in the middle of the night. He was seen putting out bags into his neighbor’s garbage bins wearing gloves.
The officers were tasked with tracking Kohberger so they could arrest him as soon as a warrant was issued as well as trying to get hold of an object to compare DNA to a sample found at the scene.
He was also seen cleaning the inside and outside of his car, with the source adding that he didn’t ‘miss an inch’.
Law enforcement saw him multiple times outside of his parent’s $250,000 Pennsylvania home wearing surgical gloves.
A source told CNN Kohberger wore surgical gloves while taking out the bags, and was even seen putting trash into his neighbor’s bins at around 4am.
This was prior to his arrest, with agents recovering items from both his family home and the neighbors.
All of the items were sent to the Idaho State Lab, with them managing to confirm DNA found on a USMC sheath button which officers discovered next to the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen.
Unsealed court documents show the painstaking work done by officers, who matched the DNA found on the sheath to Kohberger’s by comparing it to his father’s DNA – which was a 99.9998 percent match.
The white Hyundai Elantra is one of the things that helped cops track down the alleged killer, as well as obtaining his phone records.
A SWAT team then moved in as soon as a warrant was obtained, breaking down the doors and windows in what the source said was a ‘dynamic entry’.
They added that it was a rare tactic that was only used in cases where this suspect is considered ‘high risk’.
An unsealed probable cause affidavit yesterday revealed how cops painstakingly tracked down the alleged killer.
The timeline issued by police indicates that Kohberger managed to break into the house and kill al four victims within a 15-minute period, before his car was seen speeding off in surveillance footage.
Phone records show that Kohberger went close to the property just five hours after the murders were committed – with his phone being turned off during the time of the murders.
