Retracing Bryan Kohberger's alleged route on night of Idaho murders trends now
The route allegedly driven by Bryan Kohberger on the night of the brutal Idaho murders may be a crucial piece of evidence in the state's case against the 28-year-old suspect who is facing four counts of first degree murder.
DailyMail.com recently took the circuitous drive to get a clearer picture of Kohberger's alleged movements on November 13 - the night he's accused of murdering students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle.
In the probable cause affidavit, filed on December 29, Corporal Brett Payne laid out how investigators believe the alleged killer traveled the roughly 10 miles from his Pullman, Washington, apartment to the home in Moscow, Idaho, and subsequently fled the scene after the brutal slayings.
Payne combined cellphone data from Kohberger's number and CCTV footage of 'multiple sightings' of the suspect's white Hyundai Elantra to stitch together a fairly tight timeline surrounding the stabbing deaths.

The first thing that sticks out while driving the route is that it is not an efficient or direct drive from Kohberger's apartment to the crime scene and contains an out-of-the-way detour, as well as a dangerous, round-about ride home.
According to police, suspect Kohberger's phone went off the grid at approximately 2:45am near his Washington State University apartment at a location just before reaching Pullman-Moscow Highway (Route 270), the main thoroughfare between the two cities.
Investigators surmise that Kohberger turned his phone off or put it on airplane mode 'to conceal his location during the quadruple homicide that occurred at the King Road Residence,' per the affidavit.
When Kohberger's vehicle is then allegedly spotted via CCTV at 3:26am, it is on the 700 block of Indian Hills Drive, an out-of-the-way street in a small residential enclave of nicely manicured single family homes in Moscow, Idaho.
Kohberger didn't linger in the area long or appear to make any stops on Indian Hills Drive, and according to the timeline from police, his car is then picked up just two minutes later leaving the neighborhood.
From there, Kohberger's vehicle allegedly makes its way to the victims' home. The residential off-campus neighborhood where victims Xana, Ethan, Maddie and Kaylee were brutally stabbed to death is surrounded by several other single family homes in very close proximity, as well as a small apartment complex with a parking lot that butts up against the back of the victim's rental property.

As seen in DailyMail.com's exclusive video, the roads around the home are tight - two cars can't pass comfortably - with no easy exit point since it dead ends into a parking lot. It is not a convenient or easy area to cruise around and police noted 'a very limited number of vehicles that travel in the area during the early morning hours.'
Keeping with the police timeline, the suspect's car is then seen near the home around 3:30am when all of the roommates, as well as Ethan Chapin, would have been inside for the night. It is around then that Kohberger's car is spotted allegedly casing the house by driving past it three times over the course of 30 minutes.
When he exits the street, he does so via Walenta Drive, which offers a direct line of sight into the back of the home. Many people have asked how the perpetrator knew the roommates were asleep and this movement on the timeline may answer that.
The vantage point here would show if any lights were on, indicating that someone may be awake, in the kitchen as well as the three bedrooms facing the back belonging to Kaylee, Maddie and survivor Dylan Mortensten.

Continuing to follow the timeline, Xana Kernodle gets a DoorDash delivery at 4am. Around 4:04am, cops say Kohberger does a fourth and final pass in front of the house, making a three-point turn at the apartment complex next door.
