In a sworn statement released on Thursday, January 5, Moscow Police CPL. Brett Payne stated that Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra, which they found at his parent’s Poconos house, began appearing on surveillance cameras around the area, roughly an hour after the heinous crime. The vehicle was first captured on 1300 Johnson Road in Pullman, which is connected to Moscow by the rural West Palouse River Drive.
"The white sedan was then observed turning north on Bishop Boulevard and northwest on SR 270," Payne wrote. "At approximately 5.27 am, the white Elantra was observed on cameras traveling northbound on Stadium Way at Nevada Street, Stadium Way at Grimes Way, Stadium Drive at Wilson Road, and Stadium Way at Cougar Way." He also revealed that Kohberger returned to the crime scene just a few hours after the crime.
A business co-owner at the Johnson Road expressed her "thrill" at how the seven security cameras on her building assisted police in apprehending a homicide suspect. "This is the first time we've heard any of this," she told Fox News Digital. "We had no idea." She said the police asked for her video, and she turned it over without knowing if it showed anything important.
