The warrant issued⁢ to Amazon seeks information on all payment methods, items added⁤ to Kohberger’s cart, items removed or deleted from the cart, saved/wish-list items, as well as reviews and comments submitted by Kohberger’s account.

On May 10th, investigators served a ​search​ warrant to Amazon, stating that there is reason to believe that activity⁢ on the site between March 20th and March 30th ‌ of 2022, and November 1st ⁢ and ⁣December ​6th of 2022, could be connected to the‍ killings.

The warrant specifically⁤ requests “all detailed customer click activity pertaining to knives and⁢ accessories,” ​which is crucial considering the victims were stabbed ⁤to ‌death. Court⁤ records also reveal that investigators have found DNA from the crime ‍scene on a knife sheath.

According ⁤to court documents, a similar warrant was⁢ served to Apple⁢ on ​August 1st, requesting records of all​ devices linked to Kohberger’s ⁤user ID, including electronic serial numbers, SIM‍ information, and the ⁣contents of emails, instant messages, and files stored in iCloud.

Additional warrants were also issued⁢ to Spotify,⁤ Google, TikTok,‍ and AT&T, among ⁣others.

Each order⁢ requested any financial ⁣information associated, and a​ search warrant executed‌ on Venmo‍ on July 25th requested all bank accounts, credit/debit cards,⁣ transactions ‌associated with the account, and the ‍names of the​ receivers of the transactions.

Kohberger, the suspect, is currently‌ awaiting trial ‌on multiple counts of ⁣first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary ⁢in ⁢relation to⁣ the deaths of four ‍University of Idaho students.

The victims⁤ have ⁤been identified as Kaylee Goncalves, 21,‌ Madison Mogen,‌ 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, ​20.

The suspect has ⁣ pleaded not guilty to all charges, ‌and ⁣although his ⁣trial was initially scheduled for October 2nd, it has been postponed after the ⁣24-year-old suspect waived his‌ right to a speedy ‍trial.

A new trial date has not ⁤yet been set.

The request for consumer information from Amazon is a ‍significant step⁣ in ‍the prosecution’s case against Bryan Kohberger.

This comprehensive request indicates the prosecutors’ determination to gather as⁣ much evidence as possible to build a strong case against ‍the⁢ suspect.

Investigators believe that the ⁤timeframe between March and December of 2022‍ holds crucial information related to the killings. By focusing on this⁣ period, they aim to identify any suspicious‌ activity on the Amazon site that could ‌be ‌linked to the planning or execution of the crimes.

It is important to note that ⁤this request for consumer information is a routine investigative step in cases involving digital evidence. The aim is to gather all possible leads and⁢ information that could assist in establishing a clear link between the suspect and⁤ the crimes committed. As the investigation continues and the trial date⁣ approaches, it is expected that further evidence and ‌developments will emerge,⁣ shedding more light on the tragic‍ events that shook the University‍ of Idaho community.

Bryan ⁣Kohberger, the suspect in this case, has pleaded not guilty ⁢to all charges. While the trial ⁤was initially scheduled for October 2023, it ⁢has ⁤been postponed to allow sufficient time for the completion of the investigation and‍ the gathering ‌of evidence.
