Mega Edition: The Warrants For Match Group, Numerica And Twitter (9/24/26)

Investigators in the Bryan Kohberger case used warrants directed at Twitter and Match Group as part of a much broader effort to reconstruct his digital life and determine whether he had any connection to Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle or Ethan Chapin before the murders. The Twitter warrant sought account information tied to Kohberger beginning in June 2022, including subscriber data, messages, login information and other activity that could show whether he searched for, followed or communicated with anyone connected to the victims. The Match Group warrant focused on Tinder records associated with Kohberger and sought information dating back to June 2022, while investigators also pursued Tinder records connected to the victims and other accounts. Together, those warrants showed detectives trying to answer one of the biggest questions in the case: whether Kohberger had encountered, contacted or monitored any of the victims online before the killings.

The Numerica Credit Union warrant took investigators in a different direction, toward financial records. Numerica was one of several banks and credit unions served with warrants as police examined financial activity connected to the investigation, alongside institutions such as Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Umpqua Bank and Idaho Central Credit Union. Much of the underlying affidavit and the specific material obtained from Numerica remained sealed or redacted, with the court finding that the documents contained highly intimate information and material that could potentially endanger individuals. Viewed together, the Twitter, Match Group and Numerica warrants illustrated just how wide investigators cast their net: they were examining Kohberger’s social-media activity, dating-app history and financial footprint in an effort to reconstruct his movements, relationships, purchases and possible connections to the victims before and after the murders.
