A surprising second witness has come forward in the Idaho student murder case, ready to testify against Brian Kohberger in the upcoming trial.
This woman claims to be the driver for Idaho DoorDash and delivered food to Zana Kernodle just moments before the tragic home invasion that resulted in the deaths of her, her boyfriend, and two roommates. She alleges she saw Kohberger at the scene.
The woman revealed her identity through police body camera footage from a DUI stop recorded in September 2024. This footage was later shared on Axon’s YouTube account, showcasing law enforcement videos that she obtained through a public records request.
The connection to Kohberger’s case was highlighted by Web Sreuths, with reports emerging on the incident this Tuesday.
“I have to testify in a big murder here… because I’m a DoorDash driver,” she states in the video.
A police officer inquires about the specifics of the case.
“A murder of a female college student,” she clarifies.
“I’m a DoorDash driver. I parked right next to him,” she adds.
Although she remains unnamed in court documents, her credibility might come into question as she has previously accused police of being impaired while driving in Pullman, Washington.
DoorDash was one of several businesses that law enforcement sought information from during their investigation, as previously reported.
Kernodle received the food delivery approximately ten minutes prior to the attack, which occurred shortly after 4 am on November 13, 2022.
The only surviving roommate, referenced only by her initials in legal documents, reported encountering a masked man with noticeable eyebrows before she escaped the house unharmed.
The attack also claimed the lives of Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, and roommates Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.
Authorities have stated that all four were University of Idaho students and suffered multiple stab wounds inflicted by a large knife.
Law enforcement discovered a Ka-Bar sheath underneath Mogen’s body, which prosecutors assert contained Kohberger’s DNA. They have also connected a suspicious vehicle and Kohberger’s phone records to the crime scene.
The suspect, 30, is from Pennsylvania and was a doctoral student in criminology at Washington State University, located about ten miles from where the crime took place.
Kohberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony robbery.
As of May 2023, a judge entered a plea of innocence on his behalf.
If found guilty, he could potentially face the death penalty.
