According to NBC News, the latest visit was just six days before to the deaths, and the phone always connected after nightfall.
Kohberger’s attorney, Anne Taylor, said in a petition outlining his alibi that the defendant did not kill the four victims and was driving alone the night of the killings.
The defense successfully petitioned for a change of venue, and Kohberger’s murder trial is scheduled to begin in Ada County on August 11. He may get the death penalty if found guilty.
The murder suspect previously said that he anticipates being exonerated at trial to the public defender who defended him after his arrest in Pennsylvania.
When he was officially charged with four counts of murder in an Idaho courtroom, he refused to make a plea, so the judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
Requests for comment were not answered by Latah County Prosecutor William Thompson or Taylor, who are barred from any remarks about the case by a non-dissemination order issued days after Kohberger’s arrest.
