Same weak chin, same long nose same, hollowed out eyes and same height of hairline. It’s Bryan at that vigil! #BryanKohberger pic.twitter.com/xxIIZzGcLi

However, other users disagreed.
"Lol, dude in blue clearly had a receding hairline. Stop playing," a user replied.
Another netizen noted that Kohberger is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
BK is presumed innocent until proven guilty. It's a high profile case and cops are under a lot of pressure.

Meanwhile, another user pleaded to stop giving attention to Kohberger and focus on the victims.
Let's keep the focus on all the victims and avoid giving Bryan Kohberger the attention he probably craves. Please stop using the hashtags with BK's name! #IdahoStudentsSuspect #idahohomicides #idahosuspect #Idaho4 #Moscow4 #moscowhomicide

"Let's keep the focus on all the victims and avoid giving Bryan Kohberger the attention he probably craves," the user wrote.
Kohberger is currently being held without bail and could face life imprisonment or the death penalty for four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary.
He is accused of killing Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20 and Ethan Chapin, 20.
Steve Goncalves, the father of victim Kaylee Goncalves, previously said the killer might show up at the vigil, according to a New York Post report.
In a probable cause affidavit released Thursday, authorities shared evidence leading to Kohberger's arrest, including his phone history and DNA.
According to the affidavit, which was released after Kohberger showed up in court, a DNA profile obtained from trash retrieved outside the Kohberger family home matched a tan leather knife sheath found on the bed of one of the victims.
