Murder In Moscow: More Potential Witnesses In The Kohberger Trial Are Revealed (6/26/26)

In filings ahead of the August 11 trial, prosecutors and defense attorneys disclosed two surprise Pennsylvania-based witnesses: William Searfoss, a correctional officer at the Monroe County Correctional Facility who oversaw Kohberger during his short stay following the December 2022 arrest, and Anthony Somma, a former classmate from a youth law enforcement program that Kohberger attended and was later removed from amid complaints from female peers.  Their exact roles—whether they will bolster the prosecution’s case or support Kohberger’s defense—remain unclear, with both flagged for a June 30 pre‑trial hearing to determine if they will be required to testify .


In addition to these two, a third potential witness emerged via resurfaced bodycam footage featuring a woman identified only as “M.M.” and described as a DoorDash driver who delivered food to victim Xana Kernodle’s residence just minutes before the killings. She claims to have parked beside Kohberger that morning and later told officers, “I saw Bryan … I’m the DoorDash driver."  

Investigators are evaluating whether her testimony can be brought forward, though her credibility may be questioned due to her involvement in an unrelated DUI incident.
