() Accused murderer Bryan Kohberger sought to purchase a “replacement” knife after he allegedly killed four University of Idaho students, according to court documents released this week.

In the initial review of the material, it was widely reported that prosecutors say Kohberger purchased a combat knife, sheath and knife sharpener about eight months before the November 2022 murders at a Moscow, Idaho apartment house.

Tucked away in the documents was another detail, senior national correspondent Brian Entin told “Banfield” on Thursday that after the killings, Kohberger was looking online for a replacement knife and sheath.

Entin said the information from prosecutors could prompt speculation that Kohberger was looking to restock the equipment after losing the original knife and sheath. A sheath with DNA linked to Kohberger was found at the murder scene, although the murder weapon was not found.

The four victims Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin and Kaylee Goncalves were stabbed as they slept.

Also revealed this week was a selfie reportedly taken by Kohberger hours after the killings, in front of a shower. It depicts him smiling and giving a thumbs-up gesture.

A judge ultimately will decide what evidence is allowed at trial.

Kohberger has pleaded not guilty and is set to go on trial over the summer.
