Kohberger Phone Pings Put Him Face To Face With Victims At Mad Greek, Before Attack!
When Cellebrite forensic specialists dug into Bryan Kohberger’s phone and school computer, they weren’t looking for rumors — they were looking for data. What they found was chilling:
“abnormal gaps” in his digital history surrounding the murders of four University of Idaho students, and a small but telling oversight — his phone had
passively logged the Wi-Fi network for The Mad Greek, the Moscow restaurant where two of the victims worked.
The experts, Heather and Jared Barnhart, told the court these data gaps could be consistent with
cleanup or anti-forensic techniques. On his WSU computer, Windows event logs and SRUM data went dark between November 11 and 16 — a normal school week that should’ve been full of routine activity. Chrome history showed blank stretches exactly when downloads occurred.
On his phone, they saw more “abnormal gaps” — including a complete communications blackout from 2:54 a.m. to 4:48 a.m. on the night of the murders. Earlier that night, at 12:26 a.m., he had searched for the local police dispatch feed. But somewhere in the weeks or months before, his device had been close enough to The Mad Greek’s router to recognize, and possibly join, its network. That’s not speculation — that’s a digital artifact.
Phones don’t save networks by magic. At some point, he was close enough for that handshake. Whether he was inside or just outside isn’t something the data can prove — but in a case built on connecting small dots, this one matters. It survived where other traces were wiped. And when you line it up with the rest of his digital behavior — the late-night drives, the wiped logs, the scanner search — it fits the architecture of a larger plan.
This isn’t about proving a relationship. It’s about proving familiarity. And in this case, familiarity is one more brick in the wall.
