DNA analysis technology has succeeded in uncovering the case of the cruel murder of 4 University of Idaho students. The arrest of the suspect took place dramatically involving a full-strength SWAT team.
The SWAT (special weapons and tactics) team is a special police unit that is deployed in dangerous situations. Their involvement in the arrest of the alleged perpetrator, Bryan Kohberger, meant that he was seen as high risk.
As reported, court documents show the hard work done by investigators, who analyzed the DNA found on the knife sheath at the crime scene with Kohberger's father's DNA, having a 99.9998 percent match. The father's DNA was recovered from an item in his house's trash that was retrieved by FBI agents.
The DNA evidence was deemed highly convincing. The SWAT team then moved to Kohberger's location, namely his parents' home in Pennsylvania, as soon as the warrant was obtained. At the end of last December at dawn, without further ado let alone excuse me, they broke doors and windows on a mission called 'dynamic entry'.
As quoted by us from the Daily Mail, related sources mention that it is a rare tactic from SWAT which is only used in cases where the suspect is considered 'high risk'.
Pennsylvania State Police Major Christopher Paris said in a news conference last week that force was used to gain access to the Kohberger family home during an early morning raid.
"There were lots of broken windows to gain access, as well as lots of broken doors," Paris said, adding that Bryan Kohberger's parents were in the house at the time.
After Kohberger was apprehended, flight records show a Pennsylvania police plane circling the house for hours. Purpose unknown, possibly for surveillance.
