Kohberger's lawyers claimed there was no connection between him and victims in an argumentative filing dated June 22nd 2023. That seemed an unsupported, illogical assertion as in the same period his lawyers were also petitioning the court for more time to complete their review of the 50 TB of discovery materials supplied by the prosecution.

Three sets of search warrants were uploaded yesterday (on the Idaho courts site https://coi.isc.idaho.gov/, links to the pdf files on this post ). These new warrants include Microsoft (One Drive cloud storage, search history, email, photos/ videos etc) and various social media including Meta (Instagram) and Tiktok. These warrants were granted in July 2023 and returned data in September 2023, several months after the "no connection" claim.

Some of these warrants and new information supplied by companies seem to be targeting Kohberger specifically. Previous warrants for victims' accounts and the latest warrants have activity dates for victims' accounts up to the week after the murders Nov 14th - Nov 20th 2022, exampled:

[From Meta/ Instragram search warrant returned September 2023]

However, some of the latest warrants have account activity date up to December 30th 2022, the day of Kohberger's arrest, indicating his accounts are the target of the warrant:

​

[From Search Warrant returned September 2023]

This account activity date range ending on December 30th 2022 fits with previous warrants which are known to target Kohberger's accounts, as an example the Google warrant from March 2023:

[From Google search warrant March 2023]

The warrants with activity date up to December 30th 2022 and the information they have yielded also seem to pertain to Kohberger's accounts, as the reason for sealing them is given as information being "highly intimate" and may affect a fair trial. Speculative, but a logical interpretation would be information that is damaging or embarrassing in some way to Kohberger:

​

[From Search Warrant returned September 2023]

Various sets of warrants for all victims' social accounts were issued in 2022 and start of 2023. It is logical that the latest warrants target potential connections based on new info (e.g. phones/ devices, phone numbers, account info, cloud storage accounts).

While account names/ emails are redacted in some warrants, searches are detailed for IMEI (identifier for mobile phone/ or devices like tablet/ IPad) and for accounts associated with various redacted phone numbers.

These warrants have returned new information/ evidence supplied by Instagram, Microsoft in August and mid September 2023, well after "no connection" claims.

Information sought by these warrants includes, just as examples:

• search histories, video/ photo, email, notes in cloud storage/ One Drive, location history
• Interactions with victims' social media accounts like rejected friend requests, accounts bl0cked by victims, contacts with companies about the victims' accounts (e.g. to report an account, complaints)

While it is speculative what new evidence has been obtained it is clear that statements of "no connection" between Kohberger and victims are unsupported and illogical, at least and until it is known what social media and cloud storage info has been obtained by the prosecution after such claims were made.
