Mega Edition: The 2nd Spotify, ATT&T and Instagram Warrants In Moscow (10/9/26)

The second Spotify warrant, second AT&T warrant and amended Instagram warrant showed investigators continuing to widen their digital search as they tried to reconstruct the movements, communications and online activity surrounding the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The second Spotify warrant sought account information tied to identifiers investigators believed could be relevant to the case, including subscriber data, account activity and other records within a defined time period stretching back to June 2022. The second AT&T warrant went further into historical phone records, seeking approximately six months of data rather than the much narrower period covered by an earlier request. That broader time frame was designed to help investigators determine whether a particular phone had repeatedly been in or around the King Road area before the killings and whether the device showed patterns consistent with surveillance, stalking or prior visits. Court records later confirmed that the second AT&T warrant was intended to capture historical information that could place Bryan Kohberger’s phone in relation to the victims and the King Road residence during the months leading up to November 13, 2022.The amended Instagram warrant reflected the same methodical effort to correct and refine the social-media portion of the investigation. Investigators had already served multiple warrants on Meta seeking records connected to Instagram and Facebook accounts belonging to the victims, surviving roommates and other relevant individuals, but at least one Instagram request had to be amended after an error in the way account identifiers were entered prevented Meta from returning the intended records. The corrected warrant allowed investigators to properly seek the account data they originally wanted, including communications, subscriber information and activity potentially relevant to relationships, contacts or events surrounding the murders. Taken together, the three warrants illustrated how the Moscow investigation moved beyond physical evidence and basic cellphone location data into a much broader digital reconstruction of the months before the killings, with detectives trying to determine who was communicating with whom, what accounts were being used, and whether there was evidence of prior contact, monitoring or planning before the attack.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
