DoorDash driver emerges as surprise Idaho witness in Kohberger trial
Share this @internewscast.com

A DoorDash driver is anticipated to provide testimony at the forthcoming trial for the Idaho murders, claiming she ‘saw’ Bryan Kohberger during a delivery on the night of the tragic stabbings.

The 44-year-old woman, who remains anonymous, reported to police in Pullman, Washington, during a traffic stop last year that she delivered food to Xana Kernodle at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, in the early hours of November 13, 2022.

She uttered the words ‘I saw Brian there’ to officers – adding that she parked right next to him. 

The alleged delivery is said to have occurred just moments before Kernodle, her boyfriend Ethan Chaplin, and two roommates, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, were fatally attacked by an unidentified masked individual.

The woman also told an officer with the Pullman Police Department that she may be called to the stand to testify at Kohberger’s trial, according to body-camera video of the conversation posted to YouTube.

‘I have to testify in a big murder case here… because I’m the DoorDash driver, so yeah,’ the woman says in the clip, as she’s being questioned over a suspected DUI in September 2024.

When asked what case, she responds: ‘The murder case with the college girls…I saw Bryan there – I parked right next to him.’ 

True crime sleuths picked up on the video, and the woman’s connection to the Kohberger case was reported in the Idaho Statesman on Tuesday.

Her name has been redacted from court documents. The woman’s credibility as a witness is likely to be called into question because Pullman PD accused her of driving while under the influence of drugs.

The outcome of that DUI case is not clear. 

The woman initially pulled over for driving a pickup truck with expired registration tags.

Court records show that Kernodle received a DoorDash order at approximately 4am on Nov. 13.

The order was from a Jack in the Box chain in Pullman, across the Idaho state line.

Prosecutors have stated they believe the murders of the Idaho Four took place during a 13-minute window between 4.07am and 4.20am.

That’s when surveillance footage captured what police allege was a white Hyundai Elantra in the home’s vicinity, matching the description of a vehicle owned by Kohberger.

The unnamed woman’s account of delivering DoorDash to Kernodle matches the chain of events shared in recent court filings.

Additionally, a private investigator who worked on behalf of the Goncalves family told them the DoorDash driver was female, Steve Goncalves, Kaylee’s father, reportedly told the Statesman.

The surprise emergence of the DoorDash driver comes ahead of a hearing Wednesday, where Judge Steven Hippler will address the defense’s request to once again delay Kohberger’s trial.

In an 11th-hour move, Kohberger’s defense is asking the judge to delay the trial, citing a recent Dateline episode that revealed bombshell new details and pointed to a potential evidence leak in the case.

In the show, released in early May, the suspected killer’s phone records, porn habits and online searches for Ted Bundy were revealed for the first time.

Dateline also aired never-before-seen surveillance footage of a suspect vehicle fleeing the horrific crime scene on November 13, 2022.

The defense argued that they need more time to effectively prepare for trial and investigate Kohberger’s ‘life story’ ahead of the potential penalty phase. 

Prosecutors, however, are pushing for the trial to commence in August as planned.

They emphasize the importance of the victims’ families receiving justice without further delay.

If the trial goes ahead as planned, jury selection will begin in late July or early August, with the trial beginning on August 11.

Kohberger, 30, who is from Pennsylvania, was studying for a Ph.D. in criminology at Washington State University, just a 10-mile drive from the King Road, at the time of the murders.

He faces four counts of first-degree murder and one of felony burglary.

If convicted, Kohberger faces the death penalty.
