Bryan Kohberger had photos of victim on his phone

Meanwhile, months after the gruesome Idaho murders, it has been revealed that suspect Bryan Kohberger had pictures of one of the female victims on his phone. A phone belonging to Kohberger was collected after his arrest, in which authorities discovered pictures of the victim. It is unclear if the photos were taken by Kohberger or downloaded from the victim's social media.

"He had more than one picture of her," a source told People, adding, "It was clear that he was paying attention to her." In the past that two weeks before the murders, Kohberger sent a series of messages to one of the victims on Instagram, as reported by People. He reportedly had a clean report apart from a drug problem. He was a PhD student in Washington State University’s Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology.

It has been revealed that Kohberger returned to the crime scene area and may even have stalked the home of his victims about 12 times before the attack. His cell phone pinged its location in the area of the house where the crimes were committed at around 9 am on November 13, which was just five hours after he killed the students. He now reportedly plans to fight the probable cause evidence in a June 26 preliminary hearing, according to his attorney Kootenai County Public Defender Anne Taylor.
