Bryan Kohberger called mother, father after killings in Idaho

(NewsNation) — Bryan Kohberger called his mom several times after he killed four Idaho students, according to a digital forensics expert.

Heather Barnhart led the team that investigated Kohberger's phone and hard drive. She told People that the former criminology student contacted his mother at 6:13 a.m. the morning of the killings.

Kohberger called his father at 6:14 a.m. after his mother didn't answer.

Barnhart said Kohberger had saved his parents in his phone as "Mother" and "Father," and would often call his dad if he couldn't get a hold of his mom.

"He would go back and forth texting: 'Father, why did mother not respond? Why is she not answering the phone?" Barnhart told the publication.

Kohberger's mom finally answered the morning of the murders and they spoke for 36 minutes. Th
