Is Kohberger’s Murder Weapon Still Buried? FBI Soil Tests & The Shovel Clue

Is Kohberger’s Murder Weapon Still Buried? FBI Soil Tests & The Shovel Clue Newly unsealed documents in the Bryan Kohberger case reveal something strange—a shovel, seized during the Pennsylvania search, still covered in dirt. The FBI didn’t just bag it and forget it. They tested the soil and compared it across multiple locations linked to Kohberger. Why? Because they believed the missing murder weapon—and possibly the clothing—might have been buried. In this episode, retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer returns to break down what this shovel really tells us. Was this a throwaway tool—or part of a larger concealment strategy? Did Kohberger bury the weapon to return to it like a trophy? Or was he simply eliminating evidence with the cold precision of someone obsessed with control? We explore the possibility of taunting future revelations from Kohberger, what it means for long-term investigative efforts, and why the absence of the weapon still haunts this case—even after a conviction. 📌 Topics: – The shovel discovery in Pennsylvania – Soil sample comparisons by the FBI – Behavioral analysis: concealment vs. trophy keeping – The odds the knife is ever recovered – Will Kohberger eventually confess? #bryankohberger #idahomurders #kohbergerweapon #truecrime #hiddenkillers #jennifercoffindaffer #forensicevidence #kohbergertrial #crimeanalysis #moscowidaho Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
