Kohberger Bought The Knife, Allegedly Killed The Kids & Posed For A Thumbs Up Selfie In Shower

The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

Bryan Kohberger’s Amazon history has just been ruled admissible in court, and it may be one of the most damaging pieces of evidence against him. Prosecutors argue that Kohberger purchased a Ka-Bar knife online months before the brutal stabbings of four University of Idaho students, and now, they plan to present this digital trail to the jury. His defense team fought hard to keep these records out, claiming the data is vague, influenced by Amazon’s recommendation system, and unfairly prejudicial. But the judge wasn’t convinced, and now this Amazon purchase could become a central argument for premeditation.
In this episode, we break down how investigators uncovered Kohberger’s purchase history, why prosecutors believe it proves he planned the murders, and what the defense is doing to fight back. We’ll also explore how Amazon records have been used in past murder trials, from killers who unknowingly left behind digital footprints to defendants who tried—and failed—to explain away their online shopping habits. Could this be the piece of evidence that destroys Kohberger’s alibi and locks in a conviction?
As Kohberger’s August 2025 trial approaches, this case is shaping up to be a landmark moment for digital forensic evidence in criminal trials. If jurors believe his Amazon purchase history proves intent, it could mean a first-degree murder conviction—and possibly even the death penalty. Join us as we analyze this latest development, the legal strategies in play, and the future of online shopping as a tool in murder investigations. Is this the beginning of a new era in digital evidence? Tune in to find out.
