Brian Koberger agreed to be extradited, and he was flown across the country to the Moscow Pullman Airport and then brought here to the Latah County Jail to face murder charges while the world watched on.
When they brought him off the plane, people were like, we got him.
Koberger's attorneys enter a not guilty plea for him, insisting that he's innocent.
But prosecutors decide to pursue the death penalty.
And as they prepare for trial, they dig into every part of Koberger's life, particularly his digital life, sifting through his Amazon purchase history that showed he bought a K-Bar knife and sharpener back in Pennsylvania.
And they look at his cell phone and computer searches right up until the days before his arrest
On Christmas night, the 11 o'clock hour heading into the very early morning of the 26th, he was on a rudimentary website called Serial Killer Timelines, just a list of hyperlinked names.
And he just went down this list and clicked one after another after another for like two hours.
There's some sort of a show that he watched.
And on 12-29, just two days later, he's taking a picture of himself looking like Ted Bundy.
And although investigators weren't able to make a direct link between Brian Koberger and any of the victims, those digital forensic experts did find something interesting on his phone.
The FBI gave us keywords and said, OK, search for these things.
We needed what did they call their Wi-Fi.
So all these things, we searched for it.
