Accused Idaho murderer Bryan Kohberger may have left knife sheath behind to mislead investigators
This is staging 101,' says criminal profiler John Kelly
Kelly believes Kohberger left the brown leather sheath, which has “Ka-Bar,” “USMC” and the United States Marine Corps eagle globe and anchor insignia, to point blame toward
someone in the military.
“If you took a pistol out of your holster, wouldn’t you put it back in?” asked John Kelly, a psychotherapist who has interviewed serial killers.

The Ka-Bar knife sheath found next to Madison Mogen's body at the Moscow, Idaho, crime scene could have been left intentionally in a bid to mislead police.

I do lean toward on purpose.
If it was BK online in the other forums, he was having too much enjoyment from the speculation, needling others, quizzing them, etc... even before it was released publicly, about the sheath. Then again, if he accidentally left it, he might as well enjoy the ride, too, from an insider's perspective.
Moscow Police Department Cpl. Brett Payne noticed "what appeared to be a tan leather knife sheath laying on the bed next to Mogen's right side," the investigator wrote in an affidavit released Thursday.
I think M and K were the first targets, and M was possibly his main target. He may have even been leaving after when he hears X or E, and quickly kills them. He had not planned for the circumstances he ran into, in the home. He forgot to factor in the struggles, the possibility of those waking who are not targets, the dog barking and bouncing around, the physical exertion of stabbing someone to death, and the awakening of X (and E ?). The sheath is said to have been noticed laying to the rh side of M. So I think she was first. He didn't toss the sheath over in a corner or drop it on the way out, it was lying at her side. As if he just walked in, knelt, unsheathed the knife, straddles his victim, and then moves on to K. I don't think he anticipated K being in M's room either. K had a big K facing out of her room window. No shades on any of the back windows. D was a recent move to upstairs. I feel he knew whose room belonged to whom, but things weren't how he'd perceived them to be, once inside. The questionnaire he circulated could not have taken the unplanned, into account.
If he does have VS, and if it is as bad as it is said it was, then his adrenaline is pumping hard by then, anxiety is kicking in, and that can increase VS (possibly even if he'd gotten better over time). His VS could have even blocked D from his line of vision. The only way I know to explain what I've read about his vision, and VSS, is if you know someone with, or have Macular Degeneration. Some who have Macular Deg. start losing their vision in stages. They may be able to make out an object is there, but not be able to clearly see the details. Sometimes there's a hole of sorts, that narrows the vision. If my line of thought is correct, by the time D saw him, he may not have even actually seen her (or even mentally registered that he'd seen her). He was making his way to the slider, not her room, or he'd have killed her, I'm pretty sure. A sheath left behind is one thing, a living witness is completely different. Early blindness runs in our family due to some having in common/and inherited health-related issues. I could stand in front of my Uncle and he'd not see me, yet, he could drive a vehicle, for years (although he truly shouldn't have been driving).
On a side note; I have 20/20 and I have even waved at people who I thought were looking right at me, but they are looking past me. This could have been how D felt. Shocked at seeing him, saw him fully, yet by fortune, he misses seeing her due to looking past her/through her.
The knife sheath that investigators found next to two victims could indicate they were the target of the Nov. 13 quadruple homicide near the University of Idaho campus.
