MOSCOW, IDAHO: The quadruple Idaho murder suspect Bryan Kohberger, 28, had no connection with the victims, a lawyer for one of the grieving families claimed. Nearly after seven weeks of mounting criticism against law enforcement for no updates on the killer, the four University of Idaho student's murder suspect Kohberger was arrested and charged with four counts of murder and one count of burglary.
The PhD criminology student is accused of the brutal murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle on November 13, 2022. However, following Kohberger's arrest, victim Goncalves' family lawyer Shanon Gray has said, “No one knew of this guy at all,” adding, “It appears from the affidavit that he was in the area of the house on several occasions ... That’s all we know,” reported Independent.

Police have previously noted, Kohberger's stalked the victim and that he visited the victim's house dozen times before the vicious massacre. Kohberger's cellphone data also pinged him near the area of the murder house, multiple times. In addition, his white Hyundai Elantra appeared to be driven past the crime scene at least four times after the murders. Kohberger's suspicious vehicle pattern and the estimated time of the murders was the key clue that helped nail the suspect from Washington State University Pullman, including his DNA that linked him to the crime scene.
However social media users were outraged by Goncalves's lawyer's statement claiming the victims did not know the suspect without any proof. One furious user wrote on Reddit, "How would he possibly know that, though? He’s representing a victim’s family and isn’t working on the case for the defense or prosecution. LE isn’t speaking or leaking to anyone not involved with the case, including the families who have no more information than we do (as SG has said repeatedly). Something weird going on here." Another user questioned, "So is it just rumor that he visited the vegan restaurant where a couple of the victims worked?" "Tomorrow him and the family will say there was, depending on what media outlet asks them to do an interview. Sorry if this offends people, but I’m just exhausted seeing them in the media spreading so much disinformation in attempt to put their family at the center of things. They’re grieving. They need to grieve. Not continuously put out statements," a comment read.
A fourth user chimed, "I agree. This lawyer doesn’t have an access to all 6 cellphones or social media accounts of 4 victims & 2 roommates left alive; doesn’t have forensic access (that can retrieve deleted pics, searches, communications etc) of Kohberger either. Would have no idea if any of them met him in the store & had conversation. Or if he ever was at that house during one of the big drunk parties. or if he ever bought a drink for one of them in the bar. I think what he means is that he was not a friend or a date that the circle of their friends recognizes. But the contact, IMO, happened somewhere, briefly, with one of them." "Could it mean that there will not be his cowardly defense that he acted out of being rejected, and murdered because he felt overcome with jealousy, rage,& stocking them - because there was no connection, he was not rejected," read a comment.
