A forensics expert spoke about the murder weapon used to kill four University of Idaho students and how it may have left behind evidence that could lead to the killer.
A forensics expert explained to Dr. Phil how chips from the knife can be recovered during autopsy and analyzed by scientists to find critical clues, even if the murder weapon is never recovered.
In the early hours of Nov. 13, University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, were stabbed to death, allegedly by Washington State University graduate student. An empty tan leather knife sheath was found next to the bodies of two of the slain students and police say the murder weapon is a fixed-blade knife.
"It’s not necessary that we have the knife at this point because the knife actually could leave behind more evidence," Morgan explained.IDAHO MURDER SUSPECT BRYAN KOHBERGER'S 'SICK SOCIAL EXPERIMENT' EXAMINED BY EXPERTS: 'MIND-BLOWING' "So, this knife, allegedly, has been used repeatedly — four times, ok? Let’s just think about that. The structural integrity of this thing begins to wear down," Morgan said."It’ll chip. Sometimes points break off. I’ve seen this any number of times at autopsy. If that is the case, they may very well have recovered a metal fragment from the blade of that knife within the body."
