Innocent Explanation for All Evidence

Those who are sure of, or lean heavily toward, Kohberger's innocence often criticise elements of the evidence set out in the PCA as unreliable for various reasons. We have not, as far as I am aware, seen an explanation for all of the evidence which assumes Kohberger's innocence. It may be an interesting exercise as a basis for analysis of evidence and discussion if an explanation could be set out which explained all key evidence from basis of innocence. Key evidence is:

  1. Kohberger's DNA is on a fixed blade knife sheath found under a victim killed by a fixed blade knife. Kohberger's is the only (non victim) DNA on the sheath (based on defence not raising any other DNA found there while they did raise other DNA sources in the house).
  2. A car matching Kohberger's, down to the detail of missing front licence plate, is on video at the scene at the time of the murders.
  3. Kohberger matches the eye witness description of the suspect seen in the house
  4. Kohberger's phone moved synchronously with the suspect car from south of Moscow just after the murders at 4.48am back to his apartment in Pullman via a circuitous, rural route.
  5. Kohberger's phone travelled from Pullman to the area near King Road a few hours after the murders at 9.00am, stayed there for c 10 minutes, then returned to Pullman.
  6. Kohberger's phone had been in the area around King Road on at least 12 previous occasions, 11 of which were very late at night/ in the very early hours of morning.

For points 4,5,6 rather than repeat a debate about accuracy of phone "ping" location data, we could take two positions - (i) that phone location from cell towers is mostly meaningless and inaccurate with an error range of kilometres, or (ii) phone location from tower data is reasonably accurate with error range of c 100s metres. If (i) then the FBI CAST unit have set out data in the PCA which are grossly inaccurate and which the defence will easily knock down at trial. If (ii) then Kohberger's movements are very relevant. Linked is a previous comment setting out references from recent court cases, academic experts, research institutes and telecom equipment manufacturers supporting cell tower phone location data as reasonably accurate:

What might be scenarios which explain all key evidence if Kohberger was not involved?
