Bryan Kohberger: How We Got Here - Episode 6: "Building the Case - Early 2023 Legal Proceedings"

Description: The January 5th, 2023 release of the probable cause affidavit revealed stunning details about one of the most technologically advanced murder investigations in recent history. This episode dissects the 19-page document that read like a thriller novel, detailing DNA evidence with 1 in 5.37 octillion odds, months of surveillance revealed through cell phone data, and eyewitness testimony that matched Kohberger's physical appearance. We explore how investigators used historical cell site location information to track Kohberger's phone connecting to towers near the victims' house at least 12 times, always during nighttime hours, establishing a pattern of stalking behavior. The episode examines the "data void" when his phone went silent during the murders, then reconnected as he left the area and returned later to observe the police response. We detail Dylan Mortensen's crucial eyewitness account and how her description of a 5'10" male with bushy eyebrows closely matched Kohberger. The episode also covers Kohberger's first court appearances in Idaho, the emotional confrontations with victims' families, and how the legal machinery of a potential death penalty case began to take shape.
