“As the defense investigates this and comes up with any leads of their own, then it’s going to be up to the prosecution to have looked at everything too — social media, work history, a love triangle, anything that could have motivated somebody else."are being sought by prosecutors, as they build a digital picture of the crime and suspect, a 28-year-old grad student, search warrant applications showed.
"They're trying to find out to find out if there is a hidden link that could explain the motive," said Casey Jordan, who teaches justice and law administration at Western Connecticut State University in Danbury. Prosecutors are"gathering every single conceivable piece of evidence so that if any doubt is raised, they will always be ready" to answer in court, Jordan said.
A preliminary hearing is set for June, when prosecutors will have to show they have enough evidence to bring Kohberger to trial for the deaths of Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho.
