Washington search warrants served after Bryan Kohberger's arrest were sealed for two months in the Idaho murders, but the judge said they may come out sooner.

Investigators remove a desktop computer from Bryan Christopher Kohberger's home in Pullman, Washington, on Dec. 30, 2022."Weighed against the public interest in the open administration of justice, compelling circumstances warrant the temporary sealing ordered in this manner,"

Superior Court Judge Gary Libey wrote in two nearly identical Dec. 30 orders, for warrant Nos. 12-29-2022A and B."It is estimated the investigation will likely be concluded within two months from date, so an order sealing the file for that period of time is appropriate and necessary," he added. The orders to seal, however, were to remain public, he wrote. Those documents reveal that WSU Assistant Police Chief Dawn Daniels wrote the affidavits supporting both Pullman warrants.

At least two WSU campus police officers, Daniel Tiengo and Curtis Whitman, also tracked down Kohberger's vehicle as early as Nov. 29. That was two weeks after the slayings, but only shortly after their counterparts in Moscow privately asked law enforcement for help finding the white Hyundai Elantra they have dubbed"Suspect Vehicle 1," according to previous court filings.Investigators search Bryan Christopher Kohberger's home in Pullman, Washington, on Dec. 30, 2022.

Warrants served in Pennsylvania after a raid on Kohberger's parents house in the Poconos, where he was arrested, were also sealed for 60 days by a judge there.
