  Why even bring the phone? Having your phone shut off coincidentally at the same time as the murders and for long enough to commit them and get home is going to look really bad for him. Meanwhile, leaving the phone at home would be able to be used as evidence in his defense. Thank God he's an idiot.
context: While innocent until proven and all that, this is a damning collection of evidence. Plus this dexter of criminology made an enormous number of ‘rookie’ mistakes that anyone who has ever watched a crime show would know better than to make:
  Surveilling the residence multiple times prior using his white Elantra and with his cell phone active. Driving his Elantra to and from the residence on the morning of the murder. Turning off his cell phone specifically around the time of the murders but otherwise leaving it on, even while driving home that morning. Leaving a witness at the crime scene to identify his build and bushy eyebrows. Leaving his knife sheath at the crime scene, with chunks of his own DNA stuck to it. Returning to the scene of the murders later that morning. Soliciting Redditors to describe their emotional euphorias while committing crimes.
  This affidavit really is a fine piece of writing on a criminal investigation connecting all the dots (literally). The attorney can claim all he wants that his client will be fully exonerated, in the performative style of a trump lawyer. But this guy is toast. >
  
  Sorry, did you say he returned to the scene that morning? What the actual fuck? >
  
  Yep. He drove home immediately after the murders but then couldn’t help himself, had to go back:
  “Specifically, the 8458 Phone utilized cellular resources that would provide coverage to the King Road Residence between 9.12am and 9.21am”
  Then drove back home again:  
  “The 8458 Phone next utilized cellular resources that are consistent with the 8458 Phone traveling back to the area of the Kohberger Residence and arriving to the area at approximately 9.32am.” >
  
  Good lord. What an absolute moron. >
  
  Lmao, leaves cellphone on him while he stalks the house before the crime.
  A criminal mastermind! >
  
  The idiot was smart enough to take a roundabout way home but dumb enough to turn on his phone on halfway home. That’s how they can confirm the Elantra in the surveillance videos the night of the murder is his. Once he turned on his phone the tracking data of the phone pings match the final movements of the car that night. 
  Oh and he left the knife sheath behind with his dna on it.
