An Idaho judge has issued search warrants to over 60 companies—including DoorDash, Snapchat, Meta and Match Group LLC, which owns dating apps like Tinder and Hinge—in the case against Bryan Kohberger, who was arrested in December on charges of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students. While Fox News reported a full list of all companies that received a warrant, the judge has sealed all other details in order to protect information that could sway the jury.
