MOSCOW IDAHO: The probable cause affidavit filed against Idaho murders suspect Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28 has finally been revealed. The document claims that the quadruple-murder accused was ‘seen’ by one of the survivors, Dylan Mortensen. The affidavit also contains other chilling details, such as the phone data pointing out that Kohberger was in the area of the murders at least 12 times before the killings and that the suspect left behind a knife sheath with his DNA on it. While talking to Fox News, former acting US Attorney General Matthew Whitaker gave his insights on the case, mentioning that Kohberger may be a 'sociopath' and that the affidavit was just a 'tease', and police might have saved certain things they are going to present at the trial.
Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were stabbed to death on November 13 on the second and third floors of their off-campus rental home on King Road. Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen were the two roommates who survived. Mortensen, identified as DM in court records, appears to be the only witness who saw the killer. Meanwhile, Kohberger was denied bail in his first appearance in an Idaho court on Thursday, January 5. Kohberger was arrested on December 30 at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania, more than 2,500 miles away from the town of Moscow where the murders happened. He is a PhD student in the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at the neighboring Washington State University.

While appearing on Fox News, Whitaker answered a few questions in relation to the Idaho murders. In response to a question about his thoughts on the possibility that Kohberger had killed other people, Whitaker said, "My thoughts on that is, this is clearly unusual for the human experience, right, I mean most human beings get along with people, don't plan middle of the night, multi-murders. So, he clearly was studying the crimes of serial killers."
"We are going to learn much more and I'm sure that the police are looking at how he did this crime and comparing it to other unsolved murders, trying to figure out if he is connected," Whitaker added.
When asked about Kohberger's attitude, who seemed to be very stoic and confidence in the pictures and videos, Whitaker replied, "Well, he maybe a sociopath and may not feel normal human emotions, so this is one of those situations where I think its going to be very interesting to see if and when he goes to trial, you know what comes out." Whitaker also added that Kohberger wants his story to be told.
"This affidavit is just a tease", Whitaker continued, "It is enough to have probable cause, its probably not enough to prove beyond reasonable doubt. I think they have probably saved somethings in the evidence that they are going to present at the trial. So, its going to be a much more complex case because right now we have some DNA, we have some footage from surveillance cameras, some ring door bells may be and then we have the path of this car that was identified. So, I think there's a lot more to this case and we are going to have to play out, probably daily as this heads to trial."
Explaining the importance of the roommate's testimony, Whitaker said, "Yeah, It's going to be really important, I mean she saw the person, can identify the timeline, helps place maybe somebody of similar resemblance."
