Bryan Kohberger investigators find 'smoking gun' evidence in Idaho suspect's home
Bryan Kohberger is facing four first-degree murder charges for the killing of four University of Idaho students last November.
Idaho murders suspect Bryan Kohberger's search warrant released
Unsealed documents showed investigators had found concealed ID cards during their search of Bryan Kohberger's family home, including one experts have claimed could be connected to one of the slaying victims. Kohberger is accused of breaking into a rental property in Moscow last November and killing University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin. Court documents unsealed last month showed several ID cards were found concealed in a glove box in the home of Kohberger's parents in Pennsylvania.
Reports have since emerged suggesting one of the cards is connected to one of the stabbing victims.
Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer suggested the discovery, and the potential connection between Kohberger and one of the students could be "smoking" evidence.
Coffindaffer said: "If you go to the search warrant return, sure enough, there are these IDs that were concealed in a glove in a box.
"Now, this is just unusual. Most people don't keep IDs hidden in this fashion. So to me, it was something that certainly corroborated the source information and seems suspect from the beginning."

The former FBI agent noted a link made between the ID card and the suspected killer would be "super strong" and aid prosecutors in their case.
She told Newsnation: "If indeed, he had that ID in that glove, this is smoking.
"There is no reason to explain it other than he was in that house and took that during the commission of that crime.
"It's super strong... especially when you combine it with the sheath that was found next to Maddie Mogen with his DNA on the clasp."

Former federal prosecutor Michael McAuliffe suggested the discovery of any items that could be connected to the crime scene in Kohberger's possession "would be significant, even damning."
McAuliffe clarified the description of the ID cards in the unsealed documents was minimal and therefore "the connection is to the murders is unclear."
He however told Newsweek that if one of the card is indeed connected to one of the students, it would "match the importance of the defendant's DNA evidence being found on the knife sheath next to one of the victims at the scene."
McAuliffe added: "The potential information is tantalizing in its newsworthiness, but the gag order prevents it from being confirmed.

"Eventually, the evidence will become public because the prosecutors have the burden to prove guilt in an open court before a jury."
Investigators said following Kohberger's arrest in December that DNA found on a knife sheet recovered from the trash at his parents' home in Albrightsville connected the former PhD student to the murders.
Kohberger has yet to enter a plea but his lawyer said earlier this year he is "eager to be exonerated".
He will be appearing in front of a judge for a preliminary hearing on June 26.
