The police had tracked him there by tracking his white Hyundai to the scene of the murders.
When he was taken into custody in Pennsylvania, police seized items of clothing along with a flashlight and medical gloves, according to a newly released search warrant made public today.

When he was taken into custody in Pennsylvania, police seized items of clothing along with a flashlight and medical gloves, according to a newly released search warrant made public today.
They also seized the Under Armor socks, briefs and shorts and the white sweatshirt he was wearing, and took four mouth swabs from him.
Kohberger was believed to be wearing dark clothing at the time of the murders.
Police also say he left a diamond pattern imprint on the sole that matches a pair of Vans sneakers.
When he was arrested, the police seized a pair of black Nikes.
Kohberger is due back in court in June. He has yet to enter a formal plea, but his lawyers have indicated in the past that he plans to plead not guilty.
His alleged motive remains unconfirmed.
In addition to linking his Hyundai to the scene, police also say that DNA left on the push button of a knife sheath left with one of the bodies is a 99.9 percent match to Kohberger’s.

Former friends of the alleged killer have since claimed that he had a crippling heroin addiction.
