Crucial Evidence Unveiled: Idaho Police Reveal Bryan Kohberger's KA-BAR Knife Sheath

Idaho police have put out a cache of unsealed documents and photographs that afford a view of the evidence gathered in the Bryan Kohberger investigation, the man accused of the 2022 slayings of four University of Idaho students. Among the released items is the KA‑BAR knife sheath, a piece that enabled investigators to tie Kohberger to the grisly murders.

Discovered at the crime scene, inside the students' off‑campus home, the sheath became a cornerstone of the prosecution's case after forensic testing linked its DNA directly to Kohberger. The new release finally gives the public a first‑hand view of the evidence that shaped one of the chilling, closely watched murder cases in recent years.

Investigators also documented nail clippings, fragments of car parts and a plain white mattress cover among the collected items. The police reports that come with it present a dark picture by police officers who first arrived at the crime scene and gave a chilling account of the state of the victims and the resulting disarray.
