Why are YOU presuming that he is an “expert in the forensic analysis of a murder crime scene”?
After some time at a community college, he graduated from a small Catholic university in PA with a BA in psychology in 2020. In May/June of 2022, he completed a master’s degree in criminal justice/criminology at the same university. He started a PhD program in criminology at WSU this fall.
When and where do you PRESUME he has gained experience in the forensic analysis of a single murder crime scene? Who in their right mind PRESUMES that a first-year PhD student in a research/policy-focused program has any expertise whatsoever?
True , but Kohberger was presumably an expert in the forensic analysis of a murder crime scene. Maybe anything short of a hazmat suit isn’t enough.

When the news broke it gave the impression he fled across the country. Turns out he went home for the holidays over a month after the crime? That’s pretty bizarre for a guilty person. If they just destroyed this guys life that DNA evidence better hold up when they actually test him.
Too many on here are mocking said suspect as foolish &/or stupid. I don't believe said suspect has even been criminally charged. Do I need to remind posters, O.J. murder trial is not the only murder case with d.n.a. as the entire show and criminal defendant walked out the front door at end of trial. So far, only law enforcement are talking. Criminal defendant may be on Plan B. There may be a good reason why he didn't run. Defendant may beat a d.n.a. case.
The murders occurred on 11/13. Three months have not elapsed since the murders. He remained in school through the end of the semester, taking classes as serving as a TA for an undergraduate class. At the end of the semester he drove to his parents place for winter break.
He had such a big head start on law enforcement. It's crazy to think he didn't leave the country, and even crazier that he just went about his normal life.
That would arouse suspicion. Plus it seems plausible that, assuming he is indeed guilty, he enjoyed the thought of getting away with murder and might have made it a regular part of his lifestyle.
If they would actually put people on death row to death and don't wait for ever to do it, the effect would be far less murders committed than the few that would be wrongly executed. Sucks to be on the wrong end of that, but overall if we have a fair trial system, then it benefits society to execute those on death row as a deterent.

"... if we have a fair trial system ... ." Poster, you stated you want Death Penalty cases sped up. You stated you want executions done sooner. Then, without realizing, you gave the reason why Death Penalty cases and executions take years. In county and state cases, a lot of cases in which law enforcement destroy exculpatory evidence and county and state prosecutors are sometimes dirty and dishonest. In summary, you know Death Penalty cases cannot move faster.

That's not the effect you're after here. You don't care about any deterrent, or you'd have been scared to drive through Idaho, or anywhere. You're not scared, it doesn't affect you.
What does affect you is that, as a human being, you have a latent killer instinct looking for a way out, so you participate in helping kill people by adding layers of reason or justice to it. It's an issue as old as civilization itself, that's why human sacrifice, gladiatorial combat or public executions are more common than not. In the modern US it's a bit more subtle, but still very real.
You can try denying this to the LR message board, but it will be much harder denying it to yourself for the rest of your life.

Wow Wigs you are actually making sense here. Like is this you?

You beat me to it. Didn’t realize the Wigins had a soft spot for preserving life however criminal.
If so, where is the mastermind strategy in play there?
A vehicle match doesn't prove much if that's their motive. He could have been at another house no? Or stalking the killer trying to get them? Or any number of coincidental reasons. They'll need a lot more than that to convict Not that I think he's innocent, but the evidence against his innocence so far is lacking outside of law enforcement saying they caught him.

Didn't he get college credit for watching re-runs of CSI?
Did they get the DNA match because of the car match? Have to have a suspect or at least have them in the periphery of the investigation to begin to figure out a motive? The guy left clues and it seems to have unraveled by using a car he could be tied to....genius?

Stop the nonsense.....In a case like this, it's appropriate punishment.

DNA match was through a genealogy database. The car was just spotted there that night on one of the police cams. Looks like he just drove his own car there for the murder.
They got his DNA from the crime scene, did a genealogy pull and found some close family members. This gives them the probable cause to get his DNA directly from him, as stated by the police chief, through further investigative methods. Doing it this way (rather than just the close family members in the genealogy database) proves to juries beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect was at the scene of the crime. Most likely they stole his trash or had someone get his DNA from a coffee mug, that kind of thing. They are probably going to withhold how they did it for now because it's irrelevant for the public to know and they might not want to reveal their method. Having the car match basically proves that not only was he at the scene of the crime, but also at the correct time. Now these two things together aren't enough for anything, but the police certainly have a ton more pieces of evidence they are holding back for now until the investigation is complete and the prosecutors build their case. We'll see if his apartment and office turn up any more evidence as well. I'm curious when they first identified him as a suspect and was it based purely on the car video.
My main question is if there was an accomplice. He asked the police if anyone else was being considered, so that definitely lends itself a little bit to some speculation. Could be a nothing burger as well, but kind of scary to think there would be two people this deranged...
