A Twitter user even claimed that the list of items seized was "very short." The user took to Twitter and wrote "I also find it strange no clothing of #BryanKohberger was listed as seized from #Kohberger apartment in search warrant. It seemed like a very short list of items taken. W/all the blood at #Idaho4 home I think there would be a lot more evidence. #Moscow4"

Since the heinous murders, there have been numerous internet conspiracy theories about the crime, the victims, and the suspect. However, crucial details about the case and Kohberger have only been released by the sealed affidavit after the suspect was apprehended, revealing previously unknown information about the crime, particularly Kohberger's suspicious activities.
Items discovered in Kohberger's apartment
According to the filings, police discovered hair samples, fabric with dark red stains, a single black glove, and other evidence at Kohberger's apartment after searching his office in the school's department of criminal justice and criminology. The warrants were initially sealed, but a Washington judge ordered redacted versions of the documents to be released on Wednesday, January 18.
As part of his preparations, Kohberger planned the ambush and researched other murders as well as how to avoid detection, according to the warrants. "These murders appear to have been planned, rather than a crime that happened in a moment of conflict," according to an affidavit seeking the search warrant, as reported by FOX 32 Chicago.
About Kohberger's arrest
Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary after allegedly breaking into the home of four University of Idaho students, about 19 miles from his Washington apartment, and ambushing them around 4 am on November 13. On December 30, Kohberger was apprehended at his parents' home in eastern Pennsylvania, more than 2,000 miles from Moscow. After being extradited to Idaho, he was transferred to the Latah County Jail late in the afternoon on January 4.
According to reports, Kohberger was the only suspect in the case, as reported by MEAWW. Before Kohberger was apprehended, the suspect was already on the authorities' radar. Police worked hard to find him, collecting cellphone data and tracing his white Hyundai Elantra. The judge has issued a gag order in the case. Moreover, on January 12, Kohberger waived his right to an immediate preliminary hearing. His next hearing has been rescheduled for June 26, 2023.
