New Alibi Defense Filed in Bryan Kohberger Murder Case Using Cell Phone Tower Data

In a new development in the high-profile case of Bryan Kohberger, accused of killing four University of Idaho students in November 2022, his attorneys have filed an alibi defense using cell phone tower data. According to the court documents, Kohberger was driving south of Pullman, Washington and west of Moscow, Idaho - where the university is located - at the time of the alleged offense. The two towns are about 10 miles apart and Kohberger often went hiking and running in that area late at night. The defense plans to offer a cell phone tower and radio frequency expert to partially corroborate Kohberger's alibi, which claims he was out driving during the early morning hours of the murders. More information on Kohberger's location will be shared after prosecutors provide discovery evidence previously requested. The case has garnered widespread attention and is expected to continue to unfold in the coming weeks.
