Kohberger claims he was in nearby park in Washington at time of murders

Bryan Kohberger's defense filed his response for demand of an alibi Wednesday, the final day of their deadline.

According to court documents, cell phone data places Kohberger near Wawawai park in the early hours of Nov. 13, 2022, nearly 40 minutes from the scene of the homicides.

The documents claim that Kohberger was an "avid hiker and runner" that would often go on drives during the nighttime. Data from Kohberger's phone includes photographs taken of himself in the countryside late at night and in the early morning on different occasions.

Kohberger's defense intends to offer the testimony of Sy Ray, an expert in cell tower information, to show that he was South of Pullman and West of Moscow, and that Kohberger did not travel East on the Moscow-Pullman highway in the early hours of Nov. 13.

Additional information about Kohberger's whereabouts as the early morning progressed will be addressed once the prosecution provides discovery requested by the defense. The defense claims that if this information is not given to them, that Ray's testimony will reveal that critical exculpatory evidence, further corroborating Kohberger's alibi, was either not preserved or withheld.

This information will be discussed in a hearing scheduled for May 14.
