DNA Evidence Links Bryan Kohberger to Idaho Murders

TL;DR Summary
DNA evidence found on a knife sheath at the scene of a quadruple murder of University of Idaho students last fall is a "statistical match" to suspect Bryan Kohberger, according to court documents. The FBI used publicly available genealogy sites to build family trees of genetic relatives to the suspect DNA, which led them to Kohberger. Prosecutors are seeking to block the release of information on the search from defense lawyers. Kohberger has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and is being held without bail.
