The creepy selfie of accused murderer Brian Coberger was filmed hours after the brutal quadruple murder of four students at the University of Idaho — capturing the unique brows of a 30-year-old who works to link the purchase of an Amazon knife to a fatal killing.
Kohberger took a photo of himself standing in front of the shower giving him a creepy half-smile with his thumb on November 13, 2022, giving him a creepy half-smile.
He was wearing a dress shirt with buttons on his collar and a wireless earphone in his ear, but authorities hope that Coberger's eyebrows will lead to a conviction in a photo from two years ago.
The photo was part of a set of 40 documents sealed Wednesday, the latest potential evidence released ahead of Kohberger's scheduled murder trial in August.
Kohberger has been in custody since being charged with the murder of Madison Morgen on December 29, 2022, in the murder of 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, 20, and Ethan Chapin.
Investigators believe the student was killed between 4am and 4:25am.
Prosecutors relied on interviews and testimony of the two surviving roommates, identifying them as DMs and BFs in court records and filed a lawsuit around Kohberger.
The DM claims he saw an unidentified “person” walking through the hall of the house early on November 13th.
She wore all the black, including a mask like a black ski covering her forehead and nose, so she couldn't get a good description of that person.
The roommate repeatedly explained that the suspect was a white man about six feet tall, with “bulging eyebrows,” a “slim build.”
The DM told detectives who might have been still drunk during the early morning encounters, but did not identify Coberger as someone she saw in the house.
However, coeducation gave the same explanation of the suspect, including “bulging brows” that “Barias” prosecutors did not write in court documents.
Rata County prosecutors insisted on the right to use the photographs, as if they were showing Coberger's entire face at the time of the murder.
Kohberger's lawyers urged the court to refrain from using the term “bubbly brows,” along with other phrases such as “murderer” and “murder weapon.”
Kaylee Goncalves' father Steve praised the release of the file as it shows the facts of what happened the night his daughter was killed.
“I don't know if we're finally releasing the facts in two and a half years in this process, but that feels good,” Steve Goncalves said. He told News Nation.
The grieving father claimed that Coberger's selfie was a message to Idaho authorities.
“It's 'you' to Idaho. I've just entered your state. I killed your child in bed and you won't catch me. I'll take a shower here and clean up the last bit,” he said.
“I hope everyone in Idaho is paying attention, and we need to bring everything to this guy,” added Goncalves.
Prosecutors also sifted through Kohberger's internet history, including his Amazon purchases
Authorities have obtained a search warrant for Kohberger's Amazon account, which was coordinated between March 20th and March 30th, 2022.
A Ka-Bar knife sheath with the USMC logo was found at a crime scene beside one of the murdered college students.
The sheath is thought to be paired with the knife used in the stab wound and contained Kohberger's DNA.
Kohberger's lawyers want clients' “click activity” not to count as evidence.
The prosecutors argued that it was related due to the discovery of DNA evidence and his valuable purchasing knowledge.
The search warrant requested data from Kohberger's accounts from November 1st to December 6th, 2022.
“The defendant's DNA was found on a Ka-Bar knife sheath found at the scene. First, Cohberger click activity was applied to indicate that Ka-Bar knife and sheath purchases are more likely (than no evidence) prior to the murder (more than without evidence) Ka-Bar sheath was found at the crime scene.”
