A sheath is made of leather and attaches to a belt. To put it on or take it off of the belt you have to remove the belt.
THe purpose of a sheath is to hold the knife so your hands are free and not at risk of being cut as you move around.
Maybe he broke the sheath, pulled the knife out of it and pushed the knife into it too forcefully? Or it broke in a struggle?
Maybe he could not drive with the sheath on his belt, so he pushed it into his pocket and it fell out?
Maybe for some reason he took his belt off at the crime scene and when putting it back on he missed putting the belt through the sheath?
Who knows, but I doubt he intended to leave the sheath at the crime scene- he made a mistake.

I know this. My question was for the the poster who suggested that BK went back into the house to retrieve the sheath and then killed X and E. Why then leave the sheath if that was the whole goal of going back in to the house?
The sheath for that USMC KA-BAR is meant to clip onto a backpack. You can put it on a belt, but that is not the only option. That is off-topic but...
