I assume this was because some of the evidence showed that Kohberger drove by the residence multiple times before the murders, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, one of the four victims, said she believed she spotted someone stalking her from the tree line outside the house at 1122 King Road. These reasons, along with the quote below from a Fox News article, lead me to understand why people would feel like stalking was involved in this case.
