Investigators focused on Bryan Christopher Kohberger as a suspect in the fatal stabbing of four University of Idaho students after his DNA matched to genetic material recovered at the home where the students were slain, two law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation have said. CNN's Jean Casarez has the details. #CNN #News
How investigators narrowed in on the suspect in Idaho student killings
the cops and FBI did a great job hats off to them nice work
The cops did a great job or, this guy had been meeting with criminals for his thesis project, and one noticed they drove the same type of car, and surreptitiously got some of Kohberger’s DNA, then planted it at the scene, and the cops took the bait.
This is just the beginning, let’s see what is the outcome before patting people on their backs!
@Bobo01 BTK was a pillar of the community, had no record, church leader, husband and father, so where do you get that it is a requirement to have any type of criminal history?
@Terri Bolton don’t be silly,BTK is another story. We are talking about Moscow Idaho. 2 completely different things.
@Bobo01 I think they just mean they used a 23 and me type site to check the dna up against
Same way they caught the Golden State Killer.
@Mary Carter thank you for your rec🤗
He talked to the btk killer so makes sense
that true paul
@Damien Grow up
Ironically, both were occupied with fighting crime. I wonder if this may spur a study(new or otherwise) on law enforcement’s potential to attracting predators
This is just so sad.😢 A good, decent Young Dude and 3 beautiful young girls murdered.
Their last moments in sheer terror. Their surviving loved ones left to pick up the pieces.
@Retired Engineer Oh be quiet bro. Ffs
@Kerid Dunk stop being so sensitive weirdo. Touch grass
@宝贝儿 moron
@slotguy777 Wow,You love your cousin
@Beaz_Nutz Bc decent to some ppl means ehh/mid to some.
So they had the DNA but they didn’t know who it belonged to and basically did a medical search to find who’s DNA it was …..very interesting 🤔🧐
Basically a shot in the dark, but one worth taking
Obviously they didn’t know who it belong to at first lol. That’s how it works unless you’re already in the system for a crime etc
@Fly Fisherman I think it’s not linking up and seems incorrect person. Just my view
The guy that’s interviewed literally tells you how they did it 😂
Here’s how it works. I got my dna done through 23andMe. I have 1500 dna “relatives” most of whom I share less than 1% dna with and do not and will never know. I uploaded my dna to GEDMatch, and selected the option to share my dna with law enforcement. Now, if one of my many dna relatives leaves dna at the scene of the crime, and law enforcement checks the publicly available GEDMatch databases, they will find me and the very small amount of dna I share with the perp will allow them to start building the perp’s family tree backwards from me. A genetic genealogist will have to piece the tree together and hopefully will have enough info to ID the perp.
How expression seems to be saying I dare you to prove I did it. I’m too clever and done my homework for the perfect horrible, terrifying murders that will never be proven on me.” I pray that God will reveal all the proof needed without a doubt and be sure the very killer and put him down and out for good!!!!!

This is terrible 😣 4 young lives taken full of life taken so soon. It only takes someone so evil with a twisted mind to commit such heinous crimes. My heart aches thinking about what must have been going through their minds as they knew it was the end for them 😣😣 I’m so sorry this happened to you. I pray that the victims families heal from this horrible tragedy & get the justice they deserve for their kids. 🙏🏽

Tapper has a short memory. Genetic geneology is how the Golden State Killer was caught. It’s also the subject of a book by Edward Humes called The Forever Witness.
@Damien NOT a “crime story” but a book! Might be a good time for you to take a Reading Comprehension Course at your local Community College!
@Tayler True, in the fine print, but it’s THERE and was “there” in all 3 DNA tests I have taken over the past decade or so!
Jake Tapper as interviewer asks the question on behalf of those in the audience who dont know and sets up the analyst with a softball question to inform the listeners. Believe me Jake has not forgotten the details of the breakthrough technology first shared with the public with the arrest of the Golden State Killer.
Sometimes reporters ask questions that they already know the answers to, for the benefit of viewers who don’t know.
Maybe once CNN started to turn rightward made them dumber
What’s is the motive or intent… Just a wierd case. Why would he kill them?
@Stephanie S. There is no proof that the Elantra in the video is the white Elantra owned by Kohberger.
I think they have the wrong guy. He does not look guilty.
I think Jack and Adam and the frat brothers know and their wealthy prominent families are protecting them. So, the chief went after Kohberger because he owns a white Elantra and studies criminology and had recently moved there and had left to go home for Christmas.
@A Little Wheiser why am I not surprised by that comment. You make a habit of forming an opinion on issues and people that you know sfa about!
@Martin Martin this person from Ireland definitely has an ego problem..
@from Ireland hahahaaaa this is social media and comments are based on opinions….
@from Ireland why the erection for me? Bored? Feeling superior? Or perhaps you’re an incel.
Don’t know what he was going through, wasn’t good, heart goes out to the families of those kids, Let’s teach our kids to Love each other more, as we Love ourselves. “ALL WE NEED IS LOVE”.❤
There’s no excuse for murder unless you are defending your or a loved ones life, period 😢
Pleeese , obviously he has mental issues . But what he did was evil .
“Most” people are basically good in at least the way they will not do anything like this, but there will always be outliers like in everything, and this is a very rare and isolated example, unlike the bulk of more common crimes in every city every day. Better wider more far reaching results for all would be gotten by making attempts at reducing inner city crime which is far more common, but the solution elusive due to it’s roots in slavery going back hundreds of years.

We all need Jesus Christ 🙏🙌❤️
Great piece of police work! Seriously had the public and news outlets confused and wondering why nothing was going on ALL while they kicked butt behind the scenes to track him down. Best news all year!
It’s actually amazing. In a country of 360 million people with Lord knows how many men between the ages of 20 and 40 and they do what they’ve done in this time frame…incredible.
Yeah but do you ever think the cops were under a lot of pressure to produce something so they produced this but the fact is they haven’t given any proof they haven’t given much evidence and DNA is really not enough considering what those people were doing in that house it was a party house.
I’m ( female) a self proclaimed family genealogists and have personally paid for quite a few YDNA tests for males from both my paternal line, the paternal of my maternal grandfather etc. when you are the person or “ contact “ person for the tests, one not only gets the haplogroup of the males tested , but if there is a match , you get that too and a way to contact ( it’s reciprocal) them through the testing company . IF a person what’s to “ share” the results ( matches) one can do so , and are used for genealogical familial relationships. Many genealogy sites , societies, etc, openly and routinely share DNA results. For example in this case, initially, the press mentioned ‘ unknown “ DNA” was found at the scene. The YDNA haplogroup is then known, and because a match was not found in the government database, a researcher can begin looking at general / various genealogy sites , and lookup that YDNA/ male 😮( example: YDNA haplogroup I ). Then they “ openly” see matches, and especially exact or with a mutation or two , which will differently show a paternal/ relationship (, and then they might find their matches that share the same or a variation of surname, and even if the surname is
not the same- there is still a paternal descent somewhere and families genealogies are listed and compared to all their matches and family connections . Then of course law enforcement will look for possible proximity, relationship ( if any) to the victims., based on their findings.

@Robert L. Ross No. have you given any thought to counseling for yourself.?
@Leone West @Robert L. Ross has a point. You seem to have an extreme distrust of males, to the extent that you’re pursuing your own family members for “YDNA”. Then cross referencing through various databases as though you expect to find the evil in your family so you can root it out. That is some extremely paranoid and obsessive behavior that you are attributing to yourself. It’s not a healthy frame of mind for yourself or your personal relationships.
@David Snyder what you taking about?
Everything I’ve mentioned has only to do with YDNA in this case because Bryan Kohberger ( a male ) has been arrested in the killing of 4 people . males have XY chromosomes and testing will provide both paternal and straight maternal line matches too. . Females have XX chromosomes and we cannot test for paternal line descent. Therefore we have to ask a male paternal relative to do the YDNA test. . As for maternal MTDNA I’ve done testing on this too, all has been done for genealogical purposes. Some commentators on my post have have genealogical context. What I wrote about mamma’s baby etc has only to do with reply’s that one discovers via DNA testing, secrets and false family genealogies that have been exposed and that comment would have been understood by them.
To anyone interested in DNA and genetic genealogy – look up YouTube – Ce Ce Moore Explains how genetic genealogy works.

Only if they leave a shred of DNA
@Rashan Rai they always do
and past killers, those ones should be crapping their pants
RIP to the victims and condolences to the families and friends impacted by this horrible killer. I am also feeling very sorry for his parents, I can’t imagine telling you that your son killed four innocent beings just cause.
I too feel for this @#$! parents. You know the first one they will blame is Mom.
Dad seems very suspect too…why would you fly across the country to drive your perfectly capable 28 year old kid home, in a car that was the same make and colour as the one sought by police as part of their investigation? And stop at a body shop on the way to get work done!!
100% agreed. However, I wish Steven Goncalves get off the media for a while. I understand he’s angry. I understand this might be his way to cope with the murder of his daughter. Someone needs to give him a hug … take a breath … and grieve for his daughter. IMO, constantly talking to the media is not healthy. The killer is most likely caught. Now it’s time for the father to heal.
@Eugene Kaptur Your assumption is usually untrue. In most of these cases, the family of the killer turns out to be pretty ordinary or, at least, no weirder than average. You can always turn up some problems — no family is perfect or lacking in its own eccentricities — but in general, there are no obvious problems in the relatives.
@Mandy Ellis This isn’t particularly strange. I know a lot of people whose relatives have joined them for a cross-country trip like this now and then. You can get it done faster if you have two drivers, and it’s possible the plan was to leave the car in the east (that would have been the smart thing to do in the circumstances) and that’s why he didn’t just fly home. He may have asked his father to help out.
Genetic genealogy is like the Superman of crime fighting techniques. It has helped to solve some of the oldest cold cases in the country. The beauty of it is that offenders have no control or even knowledge of some 3rd cousin, once-removed, who submits DNA that will literally lead investigators right to their door.

and I love the idea that some guilty person is sweating it out wondering if and when their dna will be traced by one of these techniques/ familial dna!
I don’t ever remember being so happy a suspect was arrested in a case.
@Angel Cuellar Dimwit, there IS evidence. To charge someone you need PRIMA FACIE evidence
Only trump can trump this one for me
@Buck Chile I’m not interested when everyone starts with a suspect and works backwards to find a conviction for something at all costs.
Delphi murders is another case that brought relief and hopefully justice
Me too. I really want to know more about his father. Why he was not arrested and what is his occupation?
Sadly, there is NO closure…grief just changes it’s shape…
I hope this ends in a way that the families, and friends can have some peace…
This type of capture will happen more often and it should. As time goes on and more people use genealogy websites many do not realize or care that dna is stored and if a family member does a crime your dna can be used to catch them. We are living in the future.
A public defender must be a tough job when you know that your client is an evil person capable of atrocious acts. Even sitting in the same room and spending time with them.
Could also be a best seller waiting to happen
that’s why it gets me how some lawyers KNOW the evil their clients did wrong and evil acts yet still defends them. i couldn’t do it
