Prosecutors are asking the court to allow them to introduce the texts as evidence.
Prosecutors allege that police found a Ka-Bar knife sheath under Mogen’s body that had DNA on it that led them to the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, a 30-year-old former Ph.D. student who was studying criminology at the nearby Washington State University at the time of the crime.
Separately, the court also released a transcript of a frantic 911 call that reveals multiple callers spoke with the dispatcher trying to explain that they had found Kernodle unresponsive and someone had seen an intruder the night before.
