Episode Details

During the early stages of the Moscow murder investigation, authorities said there were no obvious signs of forced entry at 1122 King Road but did not publicly identify how the killer entered. Attention quickly centered on the sliding glass door connected to the second-floor kitchen because the slope behind the house placed that level close to the ground and made the door easily accessible from the rear parking area. Investigators were repeatedly photographed examining that entrance, while reports that the house was frequently occupied by visitors fueled speculation that the door may have been left unlocked or that someone familiar with the residence knew how to enter without attracting attention.

Other theories focused on the keypad-controlled front door and an unconfirmed account that a neighbor saw it standing open several hours after the killings. The absence of broken windows or damaged locks led many observers to believe the killer either found an unsecured entrance, knew the access code or had previously learned the home’s layout. Police withheld a definitive answer at the time, leaving the sliding-door theory as the leading but initially unconfirmed explanation. Later evidence established that Bryan Kohberger entered and exited through the second-floor sliding glass door, confirming the route that drew scrutiny from the investigation’s earliest days.
