BOISE, Idaho (AP) – Authorities say the DNA of the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students was found on a knife sheath recovered at the crime scene. In court documents unsealed Thursday, Brett Payne, a police corporal in Moscow, Idaho, also says cellphone data shows that 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger had visited the area near the home where the Nov. 13 attack occurred about a dozen times since June. He says a woman who lived at the home and who wasn’t harmed awoke to the sound of crying that night to find a masked man in black clothing who walked past her and toward a sliding glass door. Kohberger is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary.
