Bryan Kohberger could use the “party house” status of the gruesome murder scene in Moscow, Idaho, where he is accused of murdering four students to explain why his DNA was found there, a new documentary reveals.
Criminal Defense Attorney Jack Rice said the alleged killer team could use the fact that the off-campus house was where wild parties attended by many college students were held to their advantage.
“One of the most important parts of this case is that DNA, and what we know is that this is a party house,” Rice said in the clip, exclusively obtained by The Post.
“We know that there are hundreds of children in this house – that might include her. And the thing is, if she’s in this house, are you suggesting that the four of them know everyone who’s been there? I doubt it.
“All of a sudden, you might have a completely different trial,” he said in the documentary “The Case Against Bryan Kohberger,” which aired on Court TV Sunday.
A knife sheath later found to have Kohberger’s DNA on it was found by police with the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin on November 13 last year.

Kohberger’s defense team could use the victim’s incapacitation to monitor who would plant the theory that the criminology student’s DNA was brought into the home before the quadruple murder, Rice claimed.
Neighbor Jeremy Reagan confirmed to Court TV there were “always people coming in and out of the house.”
He said before the murders, the partying had died down a bit but had not completely disappeared.
“They have a lot more going on there, but they’re definitely not as loud, as crazy,” Reagan said.

Jeremy Reagan’s YouTube/CourtTV neighbor confirmed that there were “often people coming in and out of the house” in his second year living nearby. However, he said that before the murder, the party had subsided but not completely disappeared.

Kohberger’s team hinted at having an alibi, but has yet to reveal to prosecutors and the public what it is.
“Evidence supporting Mr. Kohberger being at a location other than the King Road address will be disclosed pursuant to the rules of discovery and evidence,” his attorney Anne Taylor wrote in July.
It could be revealed during cross-examination of witnesses at the much-anticipated trial, Taylor wrote.
Three of the four victims were living in the home at 1122 King Road when Kohberger allegedly broke in and stabbed them to death.
Goncalves and Mogen, both 21, were found dead on the third floor of the house, while Chapin and Kernodle, both 20, were found on the second floor.
Their two roommates, Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen, survived the attack unharmed.
Kohberger, who is from Pennsylvania, had tried to have the case thrown out, but the judge denied it.
He is expected to go to trial later this month.
