WEBVTT - Legally Brunette: The Idaho College Murders

0:00:01.280 --> 0:00:04.880
<v Speaker 1>Hi, guys, Welcome to another episode of Legally Brunette. I'll

0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>be your host, Emily Simpson with my sidekick Shane. I

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:10.760
<v Speaker 1>love how Shane always just has a first name. It's

0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 1>never Shane Simpson. It's like Shaer Madonna and Shane. Anyway,

0:00:15.440 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>we're just gonna do a little update. If you listened

0:00:17.320 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to the last episode, we did a little tidbit on

0:00:20.480 --> 0:00:24.400
<v Speaker 1>this Kimberly Sullivan case, which is the crazy step mom

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>who kept her step son locked away for twenty years. Anyway,

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 1>there's just a little bit of an update on that.

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>She the biological mom, which we were questioning before. Remember

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>when we were talking about this case, like where is

0:00:36.960 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the Yeah, because it's the step mom that kept him

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>locked away. Yes, So there was a USA article that

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>came out that so the biological mom came forward and

0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the biological mom is a fifty two year old woman

0:00:50.800 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>named Tracy and she was who identified herself as the

0:00:54.840 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>biological mother of Kimberly Sullivan's stepson. And she said, thirty

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, due to personal reasons and for the

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 1>full benefit of my son, she made the gut wrenching

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>decision to give full custody to the ex husband. First

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 1>of all, I just have to say, as a mother,

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>I can never wrap my brain around someone giving away

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:17.960
<v Speaker 1>full custody of their children, regardless of the circumstances. I

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:22.280
<v Speaker 1>just I cannot imagine any scenario where I give up.

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 2>My children, unless it was a full blown adoption scenario,

0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.000
<v Speaker 2>like a parent is giving away the child for a

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 2>better life.

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>To go and oh, okay, no, I understand that. I

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 1>guess I don't understand a situation where you're the biological mother,

0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>you have the child, but then you give up full

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>custody to the other parent and you just don't want

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>any kind of visitation or anything anyway. She said it

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.680
<v Speaker 1>was a painful, emotional decision that's hard for any mother

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>to make, but she thought it would have She thought

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.040
<v Speaker 1>her son would have a better life, which is the

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>irony here in retrospect, this does not come to pass.

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>For the last thirty years, my family and I have

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>searched for him to reconnect, only to be turned away

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and shut out. So she claims that they had been

0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>looking for him and that she had reached out, and

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that basically the father and the stepmom didn't want her

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>to have anything to do with the child.

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>Well, yeah, because she's gonna find out he was locked

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 3>in a room.

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Probably. She claims that the last few days had been

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>so shocking, disturbing, and disgusting to even seem true. I

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 1>hope him, pray we can all begin to heal and

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>help my son to lead a full, happy, loving life.

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>I know deep in my heart I have always been

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>there for him and always will. Please grant us time,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>peace and respect as we cope with this tragic situation.

0:02:31.520 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>So she said that she had tried to be in

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.600
<v Speaker 1>her son's life. She also has a daughter who would

0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 1>be the man who was I guess they never released

0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:41.600
<v Speaker 1>his name. I just keep calling him the man, but

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.680
<v Speaker 1>he's the step son and the one that was the victim,

0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the victim that was locked away. He has a half sister,

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:51.639
<v Speaker 1>and apparently the half sister had been using social media

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and other online tools to try and find her brother

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>for years, but had not had any success. Well, we

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>know he's not on social media because he's been tortured

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:02.359
<v Speaker 1>for the past twenty years.

0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 3>So you know it now.

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of sad because these people wanted to look

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 2>for him, and they were probably hopeful they'd have a

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>relationship with him. And then he was in a good

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 2>place and that maybe you know, he had good upbringing

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 2>and now they could reconnect, now that maybe the mom

0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.040
<v Speaker 2>is in a better situation, and only to find out

0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 2>that he.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Was you know, yeah, well, I mean, how devastated would

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.200
<v Speaker 1>you be as a mother if her intent in the

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 1>beginning was really she did give up custody because she

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>thought he would have a better life with the father

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 1>who maybe was more She might.

0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>Have thought it would be less co parenting issues, and

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe he could have some stability because maybe they were

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 2>at odds, and so she thought, you know what, instead

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 2>of me fighting this father all the time, maybe I'll

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>give him a stable household and just let him go.

0:03:44.680 --> 0:03:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. But then to think thirty years old, I yeah,

0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:49.120
<v Speaker 1>find out that you gave away full custody of your

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>child because you thought they would have a better life,

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>and then you come to learn that they were locked away, starved, emaciated.

0:03:57.960 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 3>Torture and almost couldn't have been a worse life.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Had to set their house on fire in order to

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>get someone's attention and be saved. His half sister says,

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 1>I just want him to know that he has a

0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>big sister, And I've always known he had, that he's existed.

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I've always loved him and I've always been trying to

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 1>find him. I've been looking for him for over a decade.

0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to wait until he was eighteen. I'm almost

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>thirty five now. There was nothing, no social media, no

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 1>court records. So it seems to me that she did

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of try to do.

0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.680
<v Speaker 2>A deep diet doesn't exist. And I bet you the

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 2>parents deliberately were not on the internet.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Also, probably they were probably hiding this, hiding everything about this,

0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>this family life.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:38.479
<v Speaker 3>Now they're all over the internet.

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So, Kimberly Sullivan, who is the stepmom this step son.

0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where she's at as far as a case,

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean as she was arrested, and I don't think

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>we've had any update, right, I.

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Don't know, but hope she doesn't get doesn't see the

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 2>light a day, right.

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.280
<v Speaker 1>So, the step son and his biological mother have not

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>connected since this discovery, which was a month ago, but

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>the mother told NBC Connecticut that she hopes that they

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:07.000
<v Speaker 1>reunite soon. I hope so too. I hope I hope

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that he has some yes, And it sounds like the

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>sister is very interested in being a part of his life.

0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully there is some happy ending for this man.

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.599
<v Speaker 2>Because maybe he can get uh, maybe he can collect

0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:20.840
<v Speaker 2>the insurance proceeds from the f fire.

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>He deserves at least that much. Yes, all right, here's

0:05:25.120 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>another interesting story. I just want to do a little

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>brief background on some of these smaller cases, and then

0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>we're actually going to go into the Brian Coburger case,

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>which is the Idaho murders case. I just I read

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>this and I actually found this. I don't know why

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>I found it interesting. Maybe because it's a husband and

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 1>wife and we're a husband.

0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:44.200
<v Speaker 3>Now.

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm curious to know what it says, wife kills husband.

0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 2>I find this interesting.

0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>It's actually husband tries to kill a wife. But oh,

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.719
<v Speaker 1>so this is Ario and his name's Gerhard Koenig. He

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:58.719
<v Speaker 1>is a man accused of trying to kill his wife

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:02.120
<v Speaker 1>in Hawaii. This just recently happened. So on Monday, March

0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourth, forty six year old Gerhard tried to push

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>his wife Ariel off of a cliff in Oahu on

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a trip that he planned for her birthday.

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:12.720
<v Speaker 3>So they're not from Hawaii.

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>No, I think they live in Maui.

0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Actually Okay, so they're locals, yes, and so thanks for

0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:22.280
<v Speaker 2>her birthday, he plans a birthday trips surprise, yes.

0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:23.919
<v Speaker 3>Push.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>The couple, who have been married for six years and

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:29.479
<v Speaker 1>shared two young children together, live in Maui. Ariel told

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the story of her attempted murder in her own words

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.760
<v Speaker 1>and an application for a restraining order against her husband

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:35.479
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday.

0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 2>So he how did she succeed? How did she overcome

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.520
<v Speaker 2>his pushing her off a cliff?

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so let's get into the details of this. Gerhard,

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>who is the husband, suggested that they take a hike

0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:50.240
<v Speaker 1>on a trail near one of the local lookouts. In

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 1>her court filing, she noted the topography of the trail,

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>saying it was very narrow ridge sections with steep drop

0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>offs on both sides. He then won it as selfie

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>at the edge of the cliff, but she was uncomfortable

0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and moved away. He's like, no, one foot off the

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:15.640
<v Speaker 1>cliffs closer a little more, she said. That was when

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>her husband tried to push her. He was yelling something

0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>to the effect of get back over here. I'm so

0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>effing sick of you, and he continued to push me.

0:07:23.800 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>She wrote. She thought he was joking at first, I

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:26.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I would.

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Oh, so he wants to give her some last words

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 2>before he pushes her off.

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:32.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, he's mad.

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>Because she's moving away. She's not close enough to the edge,

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>so he's yelling at her to get back over there.

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>And then she claims that she quickly realized that he

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>was not joking, that he was seriously trying to make

0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.280
<v Speaker 1>me fall off of the cliff. She then writes, and

0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:50.320
<v Speaker 1>this is an application for a restraining order, that she

0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>threw herself onto the ground away from the edge to

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>save herself, at which point her husband climbed on top

0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 1>of her. At one point, she said, this is a doctor.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>By the way, he's an antithesiologist. He grabbed his bag

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and pulled out a syringe and vial and tried to

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 1>inject her.

0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 3>He brought his medical bag.

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, wouldn't that have been a sign? Don't you think

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 1>He's like, let's go on a hike, but I'm just

0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna bring my my anesthesiologists bag with me.

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:17.040
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 2>So, so he's attempting to inject her with something?

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.960
<v Speaker 3>Yes, so too. Yes, So she's awesome.

0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I know she's a badass.

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>I should have pushed him off the cliff.

0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I do not know what was in the syringe, but

0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>Gerhardt is an antithesiologist and has access to several potentially

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.240
<v Speaker 1>lethal medications as part of his employment, she wrote in

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:39.240
<v Speaker 1>this court filing. Ultimately, the doctor who's the husband, grabbed

0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>a rock and began to pound her in the head.

0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Miss Koenig told police that he also grabbed her hair

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.959
<v Speaker 1>and smashed her face into the ground. Luckily for her,

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>there were two women farther down the trail that interview

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>that intervened, and they told police that they heard a

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.000
<v Speaker 1>woman screaming for help. One of the women told police

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that she ran ahead and saw a man hitting a

0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 1>woman in the head with a rock. He is trying

0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:01.320
<v Speaker 1>to kill me.

0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 3>The woman holding a medical bag.

0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, a man with a medical bag and a syringe,

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.240
<v Speaker 1>close to the edge of a cliff on a trail

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.000
<v Speaker 1>was beating her over the head with a rock. They

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:14.840
<v Speaker 1>shouted that they were calling nine to one one and

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 1>the man fled. The women then helped Miss Koenig down

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.760
<v Speaker 1>the trail. I like that he flees like no one's

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 1>going to know what's him.

0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Hopefully they won't be identify my wife won't be able

0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:26.800
<v Speaker 2>to identify me.

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Police pull out an all points bulletin for doctor Koenig

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 1>and shut down the area around the look at and

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.160
<v Speaker 1>trails during a multi hour manhunt. He was found and

0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 1>taken into custody about six pm that evening. In the interim,

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.839
<v Speaker 1>Miss Koenig said she learned that doctor Koenig had called

0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.120
<v Speaker 1>one of his adult children. So he has adult children

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>with a different wife. I guess he called.

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 3>They have a children together, they two, they have two.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Young children together, and they were married for six years.

0:09:52.400 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But apparently he called one of his adult children via FaceTime.

0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>Allegedly he was covered in blood and said I just

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:02.400
<v Speaker 1>tried to kill Ari, but she got away.

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, can you can you be my alibi?

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:09.800
<v Speaker 1>It's I hate that I'm laughing at this, but.

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 3>This is well, if she didn't survive, we certainly no.

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>But she she survived.

0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 3>So I mean not she didn't sur write without any trauma, right.

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Ms Koonig wrote that she is afraid for herself. Well,

0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:24.200
<v Speaker 1>that seems obvious at this point, her children and the

0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:26.559
<v Speaker 1>rest of her family if her husband is released on bail.

0:10:26.920 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>His bail has been set at five million, and he

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>is expected back in court on March thirty first for

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:35.320
<v Speaker 1>preliminary hearing. I find this case so interesting that I

0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like we might have to do a follow up

0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>after his March thirty first preliminary hearing. I just clearly

0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>poorly executed, clearly not well thought out, or he underestimated

0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 1>how strong Yea his wife is. I think he thought

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>he was just going to be able to push her

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>off the edge really easily.

0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 3>So my goodness, all right.

0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>That to get into the bulk of what do.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 3>We know the motive? I you know, I have a.

0:11:00.679 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 1>I assumed that there was a mistress because when I

0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>was reading and it said he facetimed, I thought it

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>was going to say he facetimed his mistress. But it

0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:07.920
<v Speaker 1>wasn't his mistress.

0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:09.760
<v Speaker 2>It was but his daughter wasn't in on it or

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.560
<v Speaker 2>anything or there's no no, not known anything about.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>That, not that we know of right now, although it

0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>makes me speculate because he called the adult child and

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>said like she got away basically, so I don't know

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.480
<v Speaker 1>if other people were involved in this plot. We shall

0:11:27.240 --> 0:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>stay tuned and let you know of any updates on

0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>this case. But Shane is not taking me to Maui

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>or Uah anytime soon. I refuse to go all right,

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:43.079
<v Speaker 1>all right, let's get out. Have to be more creative, Yeah,

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 1>to think of something better than that. Okay, let's get

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>into the bulk of this episode. We really wanted to

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:51.200
<v Speaker 1>do the Brian Coburger case, which is the Idaho student murders.

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I've had tons and tons of you guys out there

0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that have been listening to legally Brunette thank you by

0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, dming me and asking us to go through it.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:01.560
<v Speaker 1>So he he does go on trials soon. I believe

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:05.640
<v Speaker 1>it's August eleventh, So this will be just an episode

0:12:05.720 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>of the background, the facts, the evidence, where we're at currently,

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>and then we hope to most likely follow the trial

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>once he goes to trial. Let's do a little bit

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>of the background of this case. Let's just give us

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>some background information so we're all on the same page.

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>So in the early hours of November thirteenth and twenty

0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty two, University of Idaho students. It was Kaylee Gonkalvius

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.760
<v Speaker 1>who was twenty one, Madison Mogan twenty one, Xana Kernodle

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>twenty and Ethan Chapin twenty.

0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 3>How many lived in the house.

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:38.560
<v Speaker 1>So there were five girls that lived within the house.

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:40.960
<v Speaker 1>Ethan was staying the night with his girlfriend Xana, he

0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>did not live in the home, and then there were

0:12:43.040 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the two survivors. So on this night, on November thirteenth,

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two, there were four college students were murdered

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and they're off campus residents. Thirty year old Brian Koberger

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.520
<v Speaker 1>has been accused of the murders and is being charged

0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>with four counts of first degree murder and one count

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:03.360
<v Speaker 1>of burglary. At his arraignment, he did not I don't

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>know if you knew this, But when they asked him

0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>how he pleaded, he just he stayed silent. So the

0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 1>judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:15.200
<v Speaker 2>He should have entered it guilty plea. If you don't

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>say anything, then you're gonna be guilty. Yeah, but it's

0:13:17.720 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 2>and it would be easy. Then you just sent in something.

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but I feel I feel like that's unconstitutional. I

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:23.719
<v Speaker 1>don't know.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 3>I wasn't talking about legality. Oh, I'm sorry, guys, clearly

0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.000
<v Speaker 3>a nut murder.

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Well, he is innocent until proven guilty, so we have

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to we have to stick with that. If convicted, he

0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>could face the death penalty and Idaho. Also, I know,

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:43.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if he read.

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.000
<v Speaker 3>This method of death penalty in Idaho.

0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:47.280
<v Speaker 3>I didn't look that up, but I'm going to look

0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.760
<v Speaker 3>it up. Okay, look up it's important facts.

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I really need to prepare myself for all the questions.

0:13:53.960 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what. I don't know what would it be?

0:13:56.360 --> 0:13:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Chair?

0:13:56.920 --> 0:14:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Electric chair or lethal injection? Aren't those the only two methods?

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Firing squad?

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>They do use the firing squad.

0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 2>You t use the firing squad. There was someone that

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 2>was executed this month. I think I don't remember what

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:10.800
<v Speaker 2>state that shows the firing squad.

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, that's what I would choose.

0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:14.640
<v Speaker 1>You would choose the firing squad.

0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:16.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well, I would choose not to commit crimes that

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 2>are first choice. I've thought about this. You stand there

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.440
<v Speaker 2>with a blindfold. Yeah, right, you don't really know what's

0:14:24.440 --> 0:14:25.640
<v Speaker 2>going on, and it's.

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Just you don't know what's going on.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I guess you.

0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:32.200
<v Speaker 2>Don't see what's going on, right, Like like the lethal

0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 2>injection is there's too many steps.

0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why there's.

0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 2>Strapping you down. There's multiple injections. They you know, all

0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>this stuff and it's like a slow process to your death. Okay,

0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 2>firing squad, I go stand there, there's ten armed men

0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 2>that stand in front of you, or however many there is,

0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 2>only one has a bullet. I don't know how that

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.800
<v Speaker 2>really helps their conscious but yeah, that way, you don't

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.200
<v Speaker 2>know who did it. That's the same with the electric share.

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>There was multiple, which is and you flipped.

0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 3>Him and you didn't know which one did it.

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Why is that supposed to protect the person firing?

0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so maybe they have some conscience of well, I

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:10.400
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it was me they killed them, which

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.120
<v Speaker 2>is like, but I was willing to point a gun

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.800
<v Speaker 2>at them and pull the trigger. Anyway, it's just one

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:17.000
<v Speaker 2>quick shot in the heart and.

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:17.800
<v Speaker 3>That's it and it's over.

0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so that's what you would shoot.

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, firing squad is now the primary method of execution,

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:25.640
<v Speaker 2>and lethal injection is an alternative.

0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:36.400
<v Speaker 1>See that was right, that's crazy to me, all right.

0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.840
<v Speaker 1>There were two survivors from that night. The roommates were

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Dylan Mortenson and Bethany Funk. They were home at the

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.880
<v Speaker 1>time of the murders. There's a lot of interesting things

0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>are going with that. We're going to get more in

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.480
<v Speaker 1>detail into that so the events of that night. After

0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a busy Saturday night out, all the roommates were back

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:56.040
<v Speaker 1>at the house by approximately two am the morning of

0:15:56.080 --> 0:16:00.160
<v Speaker 1>November thirteenth. Kernodle and Shapen, they're the ones that are dating,

0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>had been at a party at a frat house, and

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Matty Mogan and gun Calves were at a local bar.

0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Then they stopped at a food truck. It was called

0:16:08.680 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>the grub Truck. I actually was very interested in the

0:16:11.320 --> 0:16:11.800
<v Speaker 1>food truck.

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.360
<v Speaker 3>I know, I knew the food truck would catch you.

0:16:13.480 --> 0:16:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I did for a late night snack. And there's

0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:18.920
<v Speaker 1>actually video surveillance on the food truck because they I

0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>guess what they do. They put it onto TikTok or

0:16:21.720 --> 0:16:24.760
<v Speaker 1>something like all the it's like a like a marketing

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 1>a marketing thing for them. So there was actually very clear.

0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Footage of provide security. They might document in case someone steals.

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Someone seals tacos. Come again, right, If I was ever

0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:39.920
<v Speaker 1>going to commit a crime, it would be something It would.

0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.000
<v Speaker 3>Be sealing eating someone's it would be eating.

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.400
<v Speaker 1>Somebody else's tacos. Yeah. Xana Kernodle briefly left her room

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>to grab a door dash order at around four a m.

0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>According to court documentary.

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, it's really funny that all these things nowadays

0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:57.840
<v Speaker 2>provide a digital footprint like door dash, you know, ring camera, yes,

0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:01.160
<v Speaker 2>door dash, even the food truck has apparently is live

0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:02.200
<v Speaker 2>streaming or whatever.

0:17:02.320 --> 0:17:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I do know, honestly, I was thinking about this in

0:17:04.880 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>this case because the digital footprint is so interesting on

0:17:07.640 --> 0:17:12.159
<v Speaker 1>how they tracked Brian Coberger back to this crime, and

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 1>it made me think it's really difficult to commit crimes now.

0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Well, certain crimes apparently you can push someone off a cliff.

0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 3>As well as you're.

0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:23.160
<v Speaker 1>On these trails.

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 2>Everything here is going to be like modern day like tracking, right, That's.

0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 3>How they got to Ghettle.

0:17:29.880 --> 0:17:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So the third floor of the house house gone Calvez

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>and her dog in one room, and then Mogan was

0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.400
<v Speaker 1>in another bedroom. Yet the night when the murders occurred,

0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:41.240
<v Speaker 1>the two of them were sleeping in the same bed

0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>when they were murdered, and the dog was in the

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.520
<v Speaker 1>other room. Cernodle and Shapin were on the second floor,

0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and so was Mortensen, and Mortenson was the one that lived.

0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.800
<v Speaker 1>According to the affidavit, Funk was alone occupant on the

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 1>first floor, where the front door was Around four am

0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Mortenson woke up to noises up stairs, and she told

0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 1>police she thought gon Kalviz was playing with her dog

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>on the third floor. Then she heard crying coming from

0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the direction of Kernodle's room and looked outside once more.

0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>From above, she then felt like she heard a male

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.159
<v Speaker 1>voice that was in shape and saying something to the

0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>effect of it's okay, I'm going to help you. This

0:18:19.440 --> 0:18:21.840
<v Speaker 1>is all according to the affidavit that was filed, it's

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.440
<v Speaker 1>not clear where the male's voice was coming from. Mortensen

0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>heard crying again and open the door. I think this

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.680
<v Speaker 1>is the third time. She opens the door, and this

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.640
<v Speaker 1>time when she opens the door, she sees a figure

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.960
<v Speaker 1>clad in black clothing with a mask covering their mouth

0:18:38.000 --> 0:18:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and nose, walking forward towards her. Then she freezes, is

0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:47.000
<v Speaker 1>what she says. She's just stand there shot and he

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.920
<v Speaker 1>walks past her and goes out the sliding door. Mortensen

0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>froze and the person walked past her.

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:56.520
<v Speaker 2>That begs questions, Well, there's a lot of which we

0:18:56.520 --> 0:19:00.480
<v Speaker 2>don't have answers. Why didn't he attack her, right? You know,

0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.720
<v Speaker 2>he probably knew he was covered so she couldn't identify him,

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.800
<v Speaker 2>so maybe, but but why did he kill someone not

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:07.359
<v Speaker 2>the others?

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:07.680
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Maybe that wasn't part of the plan, Like she sprung

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:13.919
<v Speaker 2>on him and he thought, so, this wasn't part of

0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.080
<v Speaker 2>his plan. He thought he already executed everything, and then

0:19:16.119 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 2>he didn't want to improvise his you know, a fifth murder.

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.679
<v Speaker 1>Right around four seventeen am, a security camera less than

0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:26.040
<v Speaker 1>fifty feet from Kernodle's bedroom wall picked up distorted audio

0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>of what sounded like voices or a whimper followed by

0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>a loud thud. According to the Affid David, a dog

0:19:31.840 --> 0:19:34.280
<v Speaker 1>can also be heard barking. Okay, I have a lot

0:19:34.280 --> 0:19:35.800
<v Speaker 1>of questions about what happened that night.

0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:36.720
<v Speaker 3>The dog did not die.

0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Correct, No, the dog did not die.

0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:40.119
<v Speaker 3>So what did the dog provide a statement?

0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:43.760
<v Speaker 1>The dog did not provide a statement. I have so

0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.119
<v Speaker 1>many questions though. First of all, let me just ask you,

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>do you think he was targeting all of the students

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:52.639
<v Speaker 1>in that house or do you think he went in

0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:55.720
<v Speaker 1>to kill one and then was surprised that they were

0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.560
<v Speaker 1>sharing a bedroom, and then he felt like he had

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 1>to kill the other one, and then maybe he heard

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.280
<v Speaker 1>some the noises and then had to go to the

0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 1>other room and kill them and then was surprised that

0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:04.840
<v Speaker 1>there was a boyfriend there and then had to kill him.

0:20:05.080 --> 0:20:08.040
<v Speaker 1>And he ends up killing four people, but only but

0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.159
<v Speaker 1>not with the intent to kill all the Do you

0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:10.640
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean?

0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:12.720
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea how, but I know what he

0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:13.200
<v Speaker 3>was thinking.

0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:15.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, but I'm just that's what goes on simplify.

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.000
<v Speaker 2>You're saying, was he trying to kill one person and

0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:19.560
<v Speaker 2>then Moore got mixed in them?

0:20:19.680 --> 0:20:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because the two girls were sharing a room and

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>they normally don't share a room. So my question is

0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>was he targeting one of those girls? Possibly he comes

0:20:28.760 --> 0:20:32.400
<v Speaker 1>into the house, he comes in clad in black, he

0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:34.960
<v Speaker 1>has the knife, he kills one of the girls, and

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:36.600
<v Speaker 1>then he's like, and then there's another one in the

0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:38.159
<v Speaker 1>bed they're sleeping in the end, was.

0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:40.160
<v Speaker 3>He stalking one of them? Do we know that?

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:45.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't know that. I did read that apparently Brian

0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Coberger was a vegan and he frequented a Greek restaurant

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>where Maddie and Kayley worked. And we assume, or I've

0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>read it somewhere, there's some assumption that he or allegedly

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he was following them on instant and I had read somewhere,

0:21:02.359 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>and if anyone is out there listening and you you're

0:21:04.520 --> 0:21:06.920
<v Speaker 1>more clear on this. I know that I have read

0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:10.239
<v Speaker 1>somewhere that they did find some DMS. Not that she

0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:12.560
<v Speaker 1>had answered, but he had DMed her just kind of like, hey,

0:21:12.600 --> 0:21:15.320
<v Speaker 1>what's up, like slid into I can't remember if it

0:21:15.359 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>was Maddie or Kaylee, but had slid into.

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.640
<v Speaker 3>Their Nonetheless, there's some connection.

0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:23.000
<v Speaker 2>He saw two of the girls at some restaurant that

0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:26.520
<v Speaker 2>he frequented, and then he he there was a connection

0:21:26.560 --> 0:21:28.639
<v Speaker 2>on Instagram to him and the household.

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, So my question is, and I know I'm.

0:21:31.920 --> 0:21:33.800
<v Speaker 2>Into So they didn't go to the same school or anything,

0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:35.640
<v Speaker 2>They had no other ties together.

0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:40.040
<v Speaker 1>No, he was he was a PhD student in Washington State,

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:45.879
<v Speaker 1>and then they were all Idaho University of Idaho students

0:21:46.119 --> 0:21:49.080
<v Speaker 1>like undergrad and he was in the PhD program and

0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:52.760
<v Speaker 1>criminology elsewhere elsewhere. Okay, First of all, I also have

0:21:52.840 --> 0:21:55.439
<v Speaker 1>to say that this case, me reading this case and

0:21:55.480 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>researching this case, I didn't realize how bad a geography

0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:01.560
<v Speaker 1>I am because I had no idea that Washington State

0:22:01.720 --> 0:22:05.159
<v Speaker 1>bordered Idaho. I know you're looking at me like I'm

0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.080
<v Speaker 1>an idiot, but I did not know that Idaho had

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that top part that goes up.

0:22:12.840 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:22:13.480 --> 0:22:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's like a chimney that goes up and borders Washington.

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Because when I kept reading that they were only like

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 1>ten miles apart, these two college campuses, one in Washington

0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:27.080
<v Speaker 1>State and one in Idaho, I'm like, how are they

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:32.000
<v Speaker 1>ten miles apart? How is Washington ten miles from Idaho?

0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:33.919
<v Speaker 1>Apparently they border each other and I didn't even know

0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:38.120
<v Speaker 1>that anyway. Back, I just had to throw that in there.

0:22:38.680 --> 0:22:41.480
<v Speaker 2>Legally, Brunette, it's not geography, Brunette exactly.

0:22:41.520 --> 0:22:47.879
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea anyway. Apparently he had frequently topography topography.

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Geography is more like the rocks in the lands.

0:22:51.400 --> 0:22:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, anyway, now I know they order each other. He

0:22:55.359 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>apparently had followed these girls on Instagram and had DMed

0:23:00.119 --> 0:23:01.880
<v Speaker 1>one of them a few times, so he knew who

0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 1>they were. I would be under the assumption that he

0:23:05.080 --> 0:23:08.200
<v Speaker 1>possibly followed them home and that's how he knew where

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:08.720
<v Speaker 1>they lived.

0:23:09.200 --> 0:23:10.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, at some point I'm sure he did.

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right, If it was targeted, then he had to

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:13.719
<v Speaker 2>have done that.

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:15.879
<v Speaker 1>So then back to my question was did he target

0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:17.639
<v Speaker 1>one of the girls or both the girls? And then

0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:20.040
<v Speaker 1>end up killing four people that night because he wasn't

0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:22.439
<v Speaker 1>aware that there were so many people up at that

0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 1>time or whatever. Anyway, what's interesting is I feel like

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:28.159
<v Speaker 1>a lot of these gaps in this case will be

0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:30.639
<v Speaker 1>filled in when he goes to trial. All Right, So

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:36.760
<v Speaker 1>at four twenty am, Mortensen started frantically calling her roommates Kernodle, Gone, Kalvez,

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.480
<v Speaker 1>then back to Kernodle again. She called Mogan, that's Mattie

0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Mogan again before texting Bethany Funk. Bethany Funk is another

0:23:44.040 --> 0:23:47.760
<v Speaker 1>one that is does not perish that night, and she

0:23:47.920 --> 0:23:51.960
<v Speaker 1>says no one is answering. Bethany then had also tried

0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:57.400
<v Speaker 1>calling Maddie and Kaylee and Shapin. During that time, Kaylee

0:23:57.440 --> 0:24:00.679
<v Speaker 1>Mortensen texted to her what's going on? The text message

0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:04.080
<v Speaker 1>remained unanswered. Investigators believe the four roommates were killed sometime

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>between four am and four twenty five AM. So basically

0:24:07.760 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 1>there's the door dash order at four, then there's some noises.

0:24:12.840 --> 0:24:16.640
<v Speaker 1>They're texting their roommates asking them what's going on. Then

0:24:16.640 --> 0:24:18.240
<v Speaker 1>at four to twenty five. I believe they know a

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.399
<v Speaker 1>four twenty five because this is when they catch the

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:25.280
<v Speaker 1>white Alantra on surveillance video leaving at a rapid rate

0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:29.240
<v Speaker 1>from their house. Yeah, so he basically entered the home

0:24:30.080 --> 0:24:34.320
<v Speaker 1>murdered four people with a k bar knife within a

0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty minute timeframe.

0:24:36.520 --> 0:24:36.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:24:37.800 --> 0:24:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess, well, it has to be I mean,

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 2>I hate song and on two different floors. It has

0:24:42.200 --> 0:24:47.160
<v Speaker 2>to be kind of quick because people are going to run, right,

0:24:47.240 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 2>so kind of. I mean, he's gruesome anyway, clearly he's

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:52.800
<v Speaker 2>a nut, so it's not you, and I think, like,

0:24:52.920 --> 0:24:53.840
<v Speaker 2>that's horrific.

0:24:53.920 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 3>I could never do that in twenty minutes.

0:24:55.920 --> 0:24:59.160
<v Speaker 2>But he had to do it quick otherwise others would

0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 2>wake up, call the police, they would run.

0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 3>So I had to be executed really quickly.

0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, here's my other question, and this is another thing

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.240
<v Speaker 1>that goes on in my head. There's four people. There's

0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:11.120
<v Speaker 1>two in a room, two in another room. They had

0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:15.600
<v Speaker 1>to have been so intoxicated that they didn't make a

0:25:15.600 --> 0:25:16.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of noise.

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I know it's college and this and nan,

0:25:20.680 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 2>you know they're out getting isolated.

0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>No, I mean they were out, both of them. One

0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 1>was at a frat The two were at a frat party.

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:28.280
<v Speaker 1>The other one was at a bar. I mean, clearly

0:25:28.320 --> 0:25:28.720
<v Speaker 1>they were.

0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:32.160
<v Speaker 2>Intoxicated, okay, level of intoxication.

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:35.400
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just saying for a man to overcome two

0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:37.359
<v Speaker 1>girls and then to move to another bedroom and a

0:25:37.359 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 1>girl and her boyfriend with little to no noise, I mean,

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:43.840
<v Speaker 1>the other two that are survivors, they don't hear screaming,

0:25:43.920 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>they don't hear fighting, they don't there's not furniture being overturned.

0:25:49.400 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I haven't.

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, all they here is some slight whimpering voice.

0:25:55.760 --> 0:25:58.000
<v Speaker 2>I remember in the beginning, I had the prejudgment of, oh,

0:25:58.000 --> 0:25:59.960
<v Speaker 2>they're probably wasted and they want some time.

0:26:00.040 --> 0:26:01.920
<v Speaker 3>People don't want to call the cops because they'll say they.

0:26:01.880 --> 0:26:04.359
<v Speaker 2>Had drugs in their system or pot or whatever. And

0:26:04.400 --> 0:26:06.359
<v Speaker 2>the other one is they were just kind of not

0:26:06.560 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 2>all there to be able to quickly react and they

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:09.960
<v Speaker 2>probably just went back to sleep.

0:26:10.760 --> 0:26:13.440
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying just the alcohol level on all four

0:26:13.440 --> 0:26:15.040
<v Speaker 1>of them probably led to him being able to eat

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>A loss one scenario, because I'm just thinking about the

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend and the boyfriend in the room together and the

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:23.919
<v Speaker 1>bed together, and if he slips into the room and

0:26:23.960 --> 0:26:27.000
<v Speaker 1>he's murdering, he's got to murder one. What is the

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:29.600
<v Speaker 1>other one doing. I mean, maybe they're passed out they

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:30.320
<v Speaker 1>don't notice it.

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:30.960
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:26:31.359 --> 0:26:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna tell you. If someone is murdering me

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 1>and we're in bed together, I need you to fight back.

0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 3>I'll try to wake up.

0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Can you please get up and do something? All right?

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:40.719
<v Speaker 1>All right?

0:26:40.760 --> 0:26:42.600
<v Speaker 3>Do you mean save him? He'd probably beat the crap

0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:43.120
<v Speaker 3>out of him.

0:26:43.280 --> 0:26:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Probably.

0:26:44.040 --> 0:26:44.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:26:44.680 --> 0:26:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Anyway, let's get back to these text messages. So there's

0:26:46.720 --> 0:26:48.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of text messages going on between the two

0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:53.280
<v Speaker 1>surviving roommates and the four that are upstairs in the

0:26:53.320 --> 0:26:58.159
<v Speaker 1>second and third floor of the house. Bethany replies yeah, dude, wtf,

0:26:58.480 --> 0:27:01.920
<v Speaker 1>with Mortensen describing some one in quote like a ski

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:07.360
<v Speaker 1>mask almost so she's so, she's actually texting the other

0:27:07.440 --> 0:27:10.440
<v Speaker 1>roommate saying that she saw someone in a ski mask

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:11.040
<v Speaker 1>in the house.

0:27:11.119 --> 0:27:13.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and I could see her not wanting to leave

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:14.040
<v Speaker 3>her room.

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:18.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I would. I don't know if I would. I mean,

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:21.680
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty frightening. And plus, these homes are like they're

0:27:21.720 --> 0:27:24.160
<v Speaker 2>designed for college students, I think probably, so they're probably

0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:26.639
<v Speaker 2>like hallways and rooms are separated, not like a traditional

0:27:26.680 --> 0:27:29.040
<v Speaker 2>home where there's like a new big front entrance.

0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 3>And it's open, so I imagine.

0:27:31.080 --> 0:27:42.160
<v Speaker 2>It was apartment like and they were hiding in their room.

0:27:42.440 --> 0:27:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So the two remaining roommates that are alive continued texting

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:48.000
<v Speaker 1>back and forth about the man in the hall. There's

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:50.639
<v Speaker 1>a lot of typos because you can tell they're panicked, right,

0:27:50.680 --> 0:27:54.639
<v Speaker 1>They're just like you know, Bethany says to Dylan, possibly

0:27:54.680 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>intoxicated and intoxicated right stfu. This is after she tells

0:27:58.560 --> 0:28:00.920
<v Speaker 1>her that she saw a man in a ski mask,

0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:06.240
<v Speaker 1>like he had something over his head, forehead and little mouth.

0:28:06.880 --> 0:28:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm not kidding. I'm so freaked out, so am I.

0:28:10.440 --> 0:28:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Then Bethany indicated her phone was about to die, and

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:17.119
<v Speaker 1>so she texted come to my room, which was below

0:28:17.160 --> 0:28:19.440
<v Speaker 1>this is on the first floor, and then she texts run.

0:28:20.160 --> 0:28:24.679
<v Speaker 1>So the defense claims in court documents that Dylan, ultimately,

0:28:24.760 --> 0:28:27.000
<v Speaker 1>so Dylan is the one that saw the man. Dylan's

0:28:27.040 --> 0:28:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the one that opens the door like three different times,

0:28:28.960 --> 0:28:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and on the third time when she opens the door,

0:28:30.440 --> 0:28:32.199
<v Speaker 1>that's when she sees the guy walk by in the

0:28:32.240 --> 0:28:35.760
<v Speaker 1>ski mask. Okay, then she's the one that texts to

0:28:35.840 --> 0:28:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Bethany on the first floor and says, I saw a

0:28:38.440 --> 0:28:41.520
<v Speaker 1>man in a ski mask. And she's like WTF. Then

0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.720
<v Speaker 1>she says, come down to my room. Run. So then

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Dylan ends up going to Bethany's room and the two

0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:49.760
<v Speaker 1>of them stay the night on the first floor together.

0:28:51.240 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>They launch another round of calls to their roommates at

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>four twenty seven without an answer, and we know, based

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.880
<v Speaker 1>on the timeline already, that their roommates were dead at

0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 1>this time. They're calling them, texting them for twenty seven

0:29:04.760 --> 0:29:09.080
<v Speaker 1>please answer, Dylan texts to the roommates upstairs at four

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:12.360
<v Speaker 1>thirty two am. Prosecutors have indicated that they plan to

0:29:12.440 --> 0:29:14.920
<v Speaker 1>use the testimony of the two surviving roommates and want

0:29:14.960 --> 0:29:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to use their text messages to illustrate the timeline of

0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:22.360
<v Speaker 1>the night. I know that the roommates aren't We know

0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:26.920
<v Speaker 1>they're not involved, but I don't understand, and I'm trying

0:29:26.920 --> 0:29:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to give them grace here, but I don't understand how

0:29:28.920 --> 0:29:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you see a man in your house walk by you

0:29:32.280 --> 0:29:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in a ski mask well, and your roommates are not

0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:39.320
<v Speaker 1>answering or replying, and you go down to your roommate's

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:41.000
<v Speaker 1>room and you stay the night in the room.

0:29:41.400 --> 0:29:43.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the issue is one ran to the

0:29:43.560 --> 0:29:46.000
<v Speaker 2>other's room. The issue is then Chappelle asleep.

0:29:46.760 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>No, they're up there.

0:29:48.440 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 3>There's a whole stay. No, no, the girl one girl

0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:52.960
<v Speaker 3>went to the other girl's room.

0:29:53.080 --> 0:29:55.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, stayed the night, stayed the night. Yes, I said,

0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:58.800
<v Speaker 2>how long were they was till the police war notified?

0:29:59.120 --> 0:30:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, the stays the whole night. And there's a whole

0:30:01.880 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>a digital background. I mean on their phones. They have

0:30:05.280 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>it of them like they one gets on LinkedIn and

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>then they're on Snapchat, and then they're on Instagram, and

0:30:11.440 --> 0:30:12.600
<v Speaker 1>then they're back on Snapchat.

0:30:12.760 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Writs a lot of questions like what the heck? Then

0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.640
<v Speaker 2>they went to resume to normal behaviors. They just go

0:30:17.720 --> 0:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>back to their regular you know, Instagram and whatever.

0:30:21.600 --> 0:30:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. That's the part where I'm confused. And

0:30:24.360 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>then one of them, I don't remember which one wakes

0:30:26.360 --> 0:30:28.240
<v Speaker 1>up in the morning at seven am and calls their

0:30:28.320 --> 0:30:31.000
<v Speaker 1>mom or calls their dad, and then calls their dad back,

0:30:31.040 --> 0:30:34.360
<v Speaker 1>and then the dad calls. Here's my question, and this

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:36.200
<v Speaker 1>is another thing that will come out at trial, I

0:30:36.240 --> 0:30:39.000
<v Speaker 1>assume because we don't know this, But what was the

0:30:39.040 --> 0:30:43.520
<v Speaker 1>conversation when she called her home? She she has a

0:30:43.520 --> 0:30:45.800
<v Speaker 1>conversation with her dad at like seven or eight in

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the morning after an after a Saturday night out drinking someone,

0:30:50.080 --> 0:30:52.320
<v Speaker 1>they see a mass man in the house. Their roommates

0:30:52.320 --> 0:30:55.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't answering. Then she has a phone conversation with her dad.

0:30:57.240 --> 0:30:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Was what was in that conversation because they end up

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:02.360
<v Speaker 1>not calling nine one until someone else comes over to

0:31:02.400 --> 0:31:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the house at noon.

0:31:04.120 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so clearly they didn't go into the victim's.

0:31:06.360 --> 0:31:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Rooms, no or yell or yell up for them.

0:31:09.720 --> 0:31:13.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, they tried to call them and no one answered.

0:31:13.680 --> 0:31:15.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'm saying, they're all in the same house. It's level.

0:31:15.880 --> 0:31:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

0:31:16.160 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Why don't they open the door and be like, hey,

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:20.680
<v Speaker 2>maybe they just all kind of had their own space

0:31:20.720 --> 0:31:23.200
<v Speaker 2>and they just didn't they thought, Okay, they're sleeping with

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:23.720
<v Speaker 2>some guy.

0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 3>On the mask. I don't know. I don't know how

0:31:26.360 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 3>what the dynamic is. Is that normal behavior for them?

0:31:29.040 --> 0:31:29.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:31:30.080 --> 0:31:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Is it normal behavior to see someone in a mask

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>ski mask walking around in your house?

0:31:34.400 --> 0:31:35.920
<v Speaker 3>No? No?

0:31:36.360 --> 0:31:39.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, we know that the defense is clearly

0:31:39.320 --> 0:31:43.200
<v Speaker 1>going to point out that while they're not being able

0:31:43.240 --> 0:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to get a hold of their roommates and that they

0:31:45.000 --> 0:31:47.920
<v Speaker 1>saw a mask man intruder in their house, that they

0:31:48.280 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>don't call like.

0:31:49.440 --> 0:31:50.720
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna get a discredit.

0:31:50.760 --> 0:31:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Clearly, maybe this didn't happen because if people saw a

0:31:54.280 --> 0:31:56.719
<v Speaker 2>masked man in the home, they would call the police.

0:31:56.920 --> 0:31:59.320
<v Speaker 3>They instead went on LinkedIn and went to bed, So

0:31:59.440 --> 0:32:04.200
<v Speaker 3>clearly chat and so yeah, is their testimony credible? Right,

0:32:04.280 --> 0:32:05.240
<v Speaker 3>But there's more evidence.

0:32:05.800 --> 0:32:08.640
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot more evidence, I'd say, And I'm not

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>questioning their honesty as to like they're just respond I'm

0:32:14.760 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 1>just questioning. I just I don't understand in what world

0:32:19.080 --> 0:32:21.600
<v Speaker 1>you see an intruder in your home when you're a

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.640
<v Speaker 1>college student, you can't get a hold of your roommates,

0:32:24.680 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you're scared, and you don't call the police. That's the

0:32:28.560 --> 0:32:31.960
<v Speaker 1>part that I don't understand. But then again, I don't know.

0:32:32.000 --> 0:32:35.160
<v Speaker 1>I've never been in a situation where that happens. So

0:32:35.240 --> 0:32:39.080
<v Speaker 1>maybe there is some kind of fight or flight thing

0:32:39.120 --> 0:32:41.959
<v Speaker 1>that goes on and you are in shock. I don't know.

0:32:43.520 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 1>A transcript of the Surviving Roommates nine to one one

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:48.600
<v Speaker 1>call was also released, and the transcript shows the case

0:32:48.640 --> 0:32:52.280
<v Speaker 1>what it was at eleven fifty six, am.

0:32:52.080 --> 0:32:53.920
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh, like at noon the next day.

0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Yes, that's what I just keep saying. Yes, it was

0:32:56.600 --> 0:32:59.120
<v Speaker 1>eight It was eight hours after the murders took place.

0:32:59.160 --> 0:33:03.560
<v Speaker 1>That was finally called what time they wake up? No,

0:33:03.680 --> 0:33:05.960
<v Speaker 1>I just told you. One of them was awake at

0:33:06.000 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 1>seven I believe it was seven am and she was

0:33:08.600 --> 0:33:10.040
<v Speaker 1>making phone calls to her dad.

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.600
<v Speaker 2>She just stayed awake for four hours before she called,

0:33:13.040 --> 0:33:13.959
<v Speaker 2>four or five hours.

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:16.480
<v Speaker 1>They might have fallen asleep in there a little bit. Yeah,

0:33:16.560 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 1>they for an hour or so.

0:33:18.240 --> 0:33:18.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:33:19.160 --> 0:33:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That's why I'm saying the trial will be very interesting

0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:22.800
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like a lot of these questions and

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:23.440
<v Speaker 1>these gaps.

0:33:23.600 --> 0:33:25.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we're going to witnesses.

0:33:25.600 --> 0:33:27.440
<v Speaker 1>They're going to be witnesses, and it will be really

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:30.680
<v Speaker 1>interesting to hear these gaps filled in. What was the

0:33:30.760 --> 0:33:35.040
<v Speaker 1>conversation about what was your mental state during that time?

0:33:35.160 --> 0:33:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Why did you not?

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:38.520
<v Speaker 2>There is going to try to poke holes in that.

0:33:38.560 --> 0:33:43.200
<v Speaker 2>But there's still DNA evidence, yes, and there's his car

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:47.080
<v Speaker 2>roaming around the cellular usage.

0:33:47.000 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, all right, let's get to how Brian was actually caught.

0:33:50.800 --> 0:33:53.400
<v Speaker 1>So the DNA evidence in this case is really interesting

0:33:53.520 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to me. So they found a knife sheath that was

0:33:58.000 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 1>left behind, and again the knife she is interesting to

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:05.280
<v Speaker 1>me because Brian allegedly shows up. He murders four people.

0:34:05.360 --> 0:34:08.560
<v Speaker 1>He's a criminals he's working on his PhD in criminology.

0:34:08.800 --> 0:34:10.760
<v Speaker 1>So we're not talking about someone that's.

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to talk about a low level and experienced,

0:34:14.400 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 2>uneducated murder.

0:34:15.719 --> 0:34:20.200
<v Speaker 1>You're talking about someone who's crime and crime scene is

0:34:20.239 --> 0:34:23.560
<v Speaker 1>their passion. And I don't know how you show up

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>to a murder you have You have a knife, that's it.

0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:29.560
<v Speaker 1>You have a ski mask and a knife. And how

0:34:29.600 --> 0:34:32.840
<v Speaker 1>you leave the knife sheath behind when that's all you're carrying.

0:34:32.920 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>It's not like you have a purse and a wallet

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and a backpack and a bunch of stuff that you're handling. Well,

0:34:38.120 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean maybe he did.

0:34:39.000 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 3>He's also committing four murders.

0:34:40.880 --> 0:34:41.399
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:45.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's kind of hard to maybe manage your yeah, multitask, right.

0:34:46.600 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 1>So the knife sheath on this k bar knife which

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:51.680
<v Speaker 1>I actually looked up an image of it. It's a

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:52.280
<v Speaker 1>big knife.

0:34:52.360 --> 0:34:53.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's like a knife.

0:34:53.560 --> 0:34:56.680
<v Speaker 1>It is, it's it's the knife sheath itself, says.

0:34:56.560 --> 0:34:57.680
<v Speaker 3>Usmc on it.

0:34:57.880 --> 0:35:01.440
<v Speaker 2>I had that knife and this house, like let's say

0:35:01.480 --> 0:35:03.239
<v Speaker 2>it just bought one and I had it. You would

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:06.319
<v Speaker 2>quickly identify as what the heck is this knife? Where

0:35:06.360 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 2>did you get it?

0:35:06.880 --> 0:35:08.239
<v Speaker 3>Why do we have? What do you need it for?

0:35:08.480 --> 0:35:10.359
<v Speaker 3>It's not like it would just get mixed with all

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.560
<v Speaker 3>or other the kitchen knife, right, No, But.

0:35:12.520 --> 0:35:15.479
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's it's not It's not to say there's

0:35:15.480 --> 0:35:17.160
<v Speaker 2>not a reason to have the knife. It's not like, oh,

0:35:17.200 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 2>if you have the knife, you're a murderer. But it's

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:21.680
<v Speaker 2>not a typical knife to have, and so you better

0:35:21.719 --> 0:35:23.160
<v Speaker 2>have an explanation for it.

0:35:24.000 --> 0:35:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. If I had the knife in the home and

0:35:25.440 --> 0:35:26.719
<v Speaker 3>you asked about it, he's like, Oh, I don't know.

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:27.799
<v Speaker 3>I just thought it was kind of cool.

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 2>It was on sale, Like, it doesn't make sense. You

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.360
<v Speaker 2>would be like, what's the reason for this knife?

0:35:33.600 --> 0:35:33.799
<v Speaker 3>Right?

0:35:34.120 --> 0:35:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And I could say collecting, hunting, but I'd have to

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.520
<v Speaker 2>have a reason. It's not just you never know, I

0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:44.759
<v Speaker 2>just got a knife. So what's his reasoning? Because there's

0:35:44.840 --> 0:35:47.440
<v Speaker 2>history he bought that. He bought that same knife too, Do.

0:35:47.400 --> 0:35:48.239
<v Speaker 3>You know that? Yes?

0:35:48.440 --> 0:35:49.759
<v Speaker 1>And I was going to get to that, but that

0:35:49.880 --> 0:35:51.680
<v Speaker 1>is more of the evidence that they have against him.

0:35:51.719 --> 0:35:55.480
<v Speaker 1>They did find through his digital footprint he purchased the

0:35:55.520 --> 0:35:59.480
<v Speaker 1>knife with the sheaf and the knife sharpener.

0:36:00.400 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 3>Were they separate items?

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? On Amazon, and I believe he I believe they

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:07.280
<v Speaker 1>were purchased eight months prior to the murder.

0:36:08.160 --> 0:36:10.759
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that sounds about right, But I know that the

0:36:10.800 --> 0:36:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Amazon account is a family account, and so there's issues

0:36:14.640 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>with expectation of privacy from the others. And it's also well,

0:36:19.080 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 2>who bought the knife?

0:36:20.440 --> 0:36:22.840
<v Speaker 3>But that's the thing. He needs to have an explanation

0:36:22.920 --> 0:36:26.560
<v Speaker 3>for that knife. Yeah, yeah, he does.

0:36:27.560 --> 0:36:31.520
<v Speaker 2>You mean if he wants to explain his reason, Like

0:36:31.560 --> 0:36:34.160
<v Speaker 2>if I'm at the scene of a crime about the

0:36:34.200 --> 0:36:37.080
<v Speaker 2>times of the murder, but I didn't commit the murder, well,

0:36:37.280 --> 0:36:38.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to have an explanation as.

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 3>To why I was there. He has to have an

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:43.839
<v Speaker 3>explanation as to why. Oh and the what's the knife

0:36:43.920 --> 0:36:49.000
<v Speaker 3>cover called a sheath? A sheath, so the sheath? Does

0:36:49.040 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 3>he have the sheath.

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:52.759
<v Speaker 2>Or does he only have the knife or neither? So

0:36:52.840 --> 0:36:55.680
<v Speaker 2>if he an explanation, here, an explanation for why he

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:59.920
<v Speaker 2>bought the knife, an explanation as to if he doesn't

0:37:00.040 --> 0:37:02.000
<v Speaker 2>have the knie because he liked to throw it out right,

0:37:02.040 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 2>he's hiding it's evidence.

0:37:03.440 --> 0:37:04.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and the.

0:37:04.040 --> 0:37:06.160
<v Speaker 1>Sheath Okay, but we're gonna get more into this knife

0:37:06.160 --> 0:37:09.120
<v Speaker 1>because there's new evidence that has come out recently.

0:37:09.239 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll tell me.

0:37:10.200 --> 0:37:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Okay that this is why the defense is trying to

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:18.360
<v Speaker 1>suppress his Amazon his digital footprint is Amazon purchase because

0:37:18.360 --> 0:37:22.239
<v Speaker 1>apparently after the murders, he was looking for a replacement

0:37:22.320 --> 0:37:24.400
<v Speaker 1>knife because the knife was never found.

0:37:24.640 --> 0:37:28.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, someone on the Amazon account was looking for the knife. Oh,

0:37:28.600 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 2>so the thinking is, oh, my gosh, I better have

0:37:31.680 --> 0:37:34.040
<v Speaker 2>a new knife to kind of explain that.

0:37:34.560 --> 0:37:34.799
<v Speaker 3>See.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:37.279
<v Speaker 2>Look, there's no blood on here, there's no anything this

0:37:37.520 --> 0:37:39.760
<v Speaker 2>and I have the sheath that's you know, and everything.

0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:41.680
<v Speaker 1>So the sheath is found in the bed, and the

0:37:41.719 --> 0:37:44.400
<v Speaker 1>sheath has some DNA on it on the on the

0:37:44.400 --> 0:37:47.480
<v Speaker 1>button part of the sheath. The knife has never been found.

0:37:48.000 --> 0:37:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I've read, I've heard of thought. I've heard people say

0:37:51.520 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>that possibly he got rid of the murder weapon and

0:37:54.080 --> 0:37:57.200
<v Speaker 1>that drive between going yeah, probably because I guess you

0:37:57.320 --> 0:37:59.560
<v Speaker 1>pass a river it's called Snake River or something that

0:38:00.040 --> 0:38:02.640
<v Speaker 1>he could have thrown it into the river. Now there's

0:38:02.680 --> 0:38:06.440
<v Speaker 1>new evidence that's come forward that the defense is obviously

0:38:06.440 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to suppress. But it's that he after the murders,

0:38:11.160 --> 0:38:14.560
<v Speaker 1>was looking at that same k bar knife. So if

0:38:14.560 --> 0:38:17.840
<v Speaker 1>the knife is missing and the sheath was found, is

0:38:17.880 --> 0:38:22.040
<v Speaker 1>he trying to purchase the knife again to say, hey,

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>I do have it. It's right here. I didn't use

0:38:23.640 --> 0:38:25.800
<v Speaker 1>it in a murder. I have it. It's in my house.

0:38:26.480 --> 0:38:28.000
<v Speaker 3>So that's what he was trying to do.

0:38:28.400 --> 0:38:29.200
<v Speaker 1>So there's that.

0:38:29.200 --> 0:38:30.839
<v Speaker 3>That's why I said you have to have an explanation

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.680
<v Speaker 3>for the knife or the missing knife.

0:38:33.800 --> 0:38:35.719
<v Speaker 2>He is trying to buy it, but did he buy it? No,

0:38:35.840 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 2>it was just a search history. I think I believe

0:38:37.600 --> 0:38:37.799
<v Speaker 2>it was.

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:40.040
<v Speaker 1>A search history, and I don't know. I couldn't tell

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:44.120
<v Speaker 1>if if they could tell from this digital footprint if

0:38:44.120 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>it was purchased, or they can only tell that he

0:38:46.760 --> 0:38:48.719
<v Speaker 1>was looking at it in order.

0:38:49.320 --> 0:38:49.839
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean.

0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Speculation.

0:38:51.920 --> 0:38:53.920
<v Speaker 2>We're speculating, and an argument could be made someone in

0:38:53.920 --> 0:38:56.160
<v Speaker 2>the household was looking at it, maybe because he took

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:57.440
<v Speaker 2>the knife, and someone.

0:38:57.200 --> 0:38:59.359
<v Speaker 1>Else where maybe because the dagerating.

0:38:58.800 --> 0:39:01.719
<v Speaker 3>About my knife is missing. I'm going to get a

0:39:01.719 --> 0:39:04.760
<v Speaker 3>new one. The son, did you you borrowed my knife?

0:39:04.800 --> 0:39:08.040
<v Speaker 3>Did you? I needed to put it back? Yeah? Wow,

0:39:08.640 --> 0:39:10.640
<v Speaker 3>all right, so just wait to you know, this is

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:13.600
<v Speaker 3>where I get it beyond a reasonable doubt. But there's

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.720
<v Speaker 3>so many coincidences where it's like this is not normal.

0:39:17.360 --> 0:39:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Now you're purchasing the same knife and yours is missing,

0:39:22.160 --> 0:39:25.360
<v Speaker 2>and you're driving around these girls' homes.

0:39:25.600 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 3>I mean, it's just so not I don't know.

0:39:29.480 --> 0:39:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's innocent until proven guilty, but let's just keep going.

0:39:33.000 --> 0:39:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Because there is DNA that's found on the knife sheath.

0:39:35.440 --> 0:39:37.560
<v Speaker 1>The DNA in this in this case is really interesting

0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:41.400
<v Speaker 1>to me because they ran the DNA into the national

0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:44.200
<v Speaker 1>FBI database, which is COTIS, and they get no hits.

0:39:44.280 --> 0:39:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, because he's never had a crime before, right to

0:39:46.680 --> 0:39:47.360
<v Speaker 2>be in the system.

0:39:47.640 --> 0:39:50.000
<v Speaker 1>Right. So it says the first investigator submitted the DNA

0:39:50.040 --> 0:39:52.879
<v Speaker 1>to the FBI database CODIS, but when that didn't turn

0:39:52.920 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 1>up a match, investigators turned to genetic genealogy. It actually

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:58.880
<v Speaker 1>has a name which is really interesting. It's called IgG.

0:39:59.080 --> 0:40:02.759
<v Speaker 1>It's investigated genetic genealogy. And I think this is going

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:05.359
<v Speaker 1>to be something that's more prevalent because now there's all

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:07.719
<v Speaker 1>these DNA databases like twenty three and meters and these

0:40:07.760 --> 0:40:11.040
<v Speaker 1>heritage databases. And what they did was they took the

0:40:11.120 --> 0:40:13.920
<v Speaker 1>DNA and because they got no hits and CODIS, they

0:40:14.000 --> 0:40:14.640
<v Speaker 1>ran it through it.

0:40:14.680 --> 0:40:15.640
<v Speaker 3>They found family members.

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:19.480
<v Speaker 1>They found family members in these genealogy databases, and they

0:40:19.560 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>got a hit with the dad. I believe. Then I

0:40:23.600 --> 0:40:25.839
<v Speaker 1>think they followed him because he takes a road trip

0:40:25.880 --> 0:40:28.239
<v Speaker 1>after the murders are committed. He and his dad take

0:40:28.239 --> 0:40:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a road trip in December and they drive from Washington,

0:40:31.840 --> 0:40:35.360
<v Speaker 1>where he goes to college in this PhD criminology program.

0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:40.160
<v Speaker 1>They drive his white Alantra to Pennsylvania where his family

0:40:40.200 --> 0:40:43.839
<v Speaker 1>home is. I believe the police followed him or kept

0:40:43.840 --> 0:40:45.560
<v Speaker 1>track of him somehow they knew that he was going

0:40:45.600 --> 0:40:48.200
<v Speaker 1>to be home in Pennsylvania. And then they go through

0:40:48.239 --> 0:40:51.359
<v Speaker 1>the trash and they find more DNA and they make

0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>a match, so they're using this genealogy type of genetic

0:40:56.680 --> 0:40:59.440
<v Speaker 1>DNA research. They get the dad, there's a hit, They

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:02.280
<v Speaker 1>find his FAMI family, They follow him to his family home.

0:41:02.480 --> 0:41:05.440
<v Speaker 1>They go through the trash again. There's no expectation of

0:41:05.480 --> 0:41:07.560
<v Speaker 1>privacy and trash, right, you put trash out on the

0:41:07.560 --> 0:41:08.280
<v Speaker 1>side of the road.

0:41:09.200 --> 0:41:12.640
<v Speaker 2>It's not an illegal circh. I read something. Yeah, once

0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:14.920
<v Speaker 2>you put it in the trash, it's fair game. But

0:41:15.000 --> 0:41:17.640
<v Speaker 2>I think I read something that they use the trash

0:41:17.680 --> 0:41:19.960
<v Speaker 2>service to go collect the trash because it was in

0:41:20.680 --> 0:41:23.279
<v Speaker 2>a gated community, and I guess police didn't have the

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 2>ability to get in or they just chose to have

0:41:26.800 --> 0:41:31.600
<v Speaker 2>the garbage person go and like retrieve it, like hey,

0:41:31.600 --> 0:41:34.080
<v Speaker 2>give us that trash over there. And so then the

0:41:34.120 --> 0:41:37.960
<v Speaker 2>idea is, yeah, is there an expectation of privacy or something?

0:41:38.040 --> 0:41:39.960
<v Speaker 3>You know, I think that's going to fall flat.

0:41:40.000 --> 0:41:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you know, I do know. The defense filed

0:41:42.640 --> 0:41:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a motion to suppress or to throw out the evidence

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:47.760
<v Speaker 1>with the genealogy, and that's also going to be another issue.

0:41:47.760 --> 0:41:50.200
<v Speaker 1>I know they've hired they've brought someone onto the defense

0:41:50.280 --> 0:41:52.960
<v Speaker 1>team which is an expert in the DNA and the

0:41:53.000 --> 0:41:54.920
<v Speaker 1>genealogy and all that, because they're going to try and

0:41:55.080 --> 0:41:58.120
<v Speaker 1>definitely use that to tear apart but to.

0:41:58.160 --> 0:42:01.720
<v Speaker 2>Do what I mean, DNA's DNA. So what's the argument

0:42:01.760 --> 0:42:02.280
<v Speaker 2>to be made?

0:42:02.480 --> 0:42:05.399
<v Speaker 1>I you know, because they're gonna they're going to try

0:42:05.440 --> 0:42:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and say that they you know, didn't do the right things,

0:42:08.480 --> 0:42:11.880
<v Speaker 1>They didn't test it enough. Was there tainted in the testing?

0:42:11.960 --> 0:42:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, you know, but.

0:42:13.120 --> 0:42:18.480
<v Speaker 2>It was the DNA on the knife cover was trace

0:42:18.560 --> 0:42:21.840
<v Speaker 2>evidence or trace DNA, meaning he just put his thumbprint

0:42:21.840 --> 0:42:25.239
<v Speaker 2>and just left some DNA. It wasn't blood, so you

0:42:25.280 --> 0:42:28.879
<v Speaker 2>can't It's not very easy to transfer trace DNA from

0:42:28.880 --> 0:42:32.319
<v Speaker 2>one source to another without any other DNA also being

0:42:32.360 --> 0:42:32.920
<v Speaker 2>put on there.

0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:36.040
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so that's I think that's going to fall flat too.

0:42:36.480 --> 0:42:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I think they're going to try to poke all these holes,

0:42:38.960 --> 0:42:40.560
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think anyone's going to buy it.

0:42:40.600 --> 0:42:44.320
<v Speaker 1>I do believe that in these preliminary motions they tried

0:42:44.400 --> 0:42:51.600
<v Speaker 1>to they filed emotion to suppress the genealogy part of

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.360
<v Speaker 1>it the DNA because they were saying it was unconstitutional.

0:42:55.000 --> 0:42:57.080
<v Speaker 1>But the question is, is when you give your DNA

0:42:57.160 --> 0:42:59.320
<v Speaker 1>to these databases.

0:42:59.000 --> 0:42:59.560
<v Speaker 3>Is it public?

0:42:59.719 --> 0:43:04.720
<v Speaker 2>Is does it expectation and privacy remain when I submit

0:43:05.320 --> 0:43:07.160
<v Speaker 2>my saliva for a DNA test?

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:08.759
<v Speaker 1>Right? And I believe what the judge said is when

0:43:08.800 --> 0:43:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you're when you're giving your DNA to a third party,

0:43:12.440 --> 0:43:14.200
<v Speaker 1>there's no expectation of privacy.

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.440
<v Speaker 3>No, you're in a freaking database.

0:43:16.120 --> 0:43:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Right, all right. Investigators then built a family tree of

0:43:27.600 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 1>hundreds of relatives using the same tools and methods used

0:43:30.120 --> 0:43:31.920
<v Speaker 1>by members of the public who wish to learn more

0:43:31.920 --> 0:43:36.320
<v Speaker 1>about their ancestors. So this is how so. The FBI

0:43:36.400 --> 0:43:40.839
<v Speaker 1>investigators then sent local law enforcement a tip to investigate Coburger.

0:43:41.280 --> 0:43:44.640
<v Speaker 1>After law enforcement obtained the DNA from Coburger's father and

0:43:44.760 --> 0:43:47.200
<v Speaker 1>later they got a cheek swab from Coburger, which I

0:43:47.239 --> 0:43:49.040
<v Speaker 1>assume they got a warrant at that point. At that

0:43:49.080 --> 0:43:52.360
<v Speaker 1>point to get the cheap the cheek swab from him directly.

0:43:52.880 --> 0:43:56.400
<v Speaker 1>I assume they submitted an affidavit with all of these things,

0:43:56.440 --> 0:43:58.719
<v Speaker 1>as far as the DNA on the sheaf, the genealogy

0:43:58.760 --> 0:44:01.000
<v Speaker 1>it hit on the dad, They got the you know,

0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:03.399
<v Speaker 1>the DNA from the trash, It all matched. And now

0:44:03.400 --> 0:44:06.240
<v Speaker 1>they got a cheek swamp from Coburger, and they found

0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:09.440
<v Speaker 1>that there was a statistical match showing it was overwhelmingly

0:44:09.600 --> 0:44:12.920
<v Speaker 1>likely that the DNA found on the knife sheath match Coburger's.

0:44:13.520 --> 0:44:18.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's where the DNA came to play. We talked

0:44:18.120 --> 0:44:19.839
<v Speaker 1>about this a little bit, but let's just make this

0:44:20.040 --> 0:44:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Let's just go into a little more detail about his

0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>purchases prior to the murders. The state has revealed new evidence.

0:44:24.840 --> 0:44:27.280
<v Speaker 1>It plans to present a trial that includes a purchase

0:44:27.320 --> 0:44:30.520
<v Speaker 1>record from Dick's Sporting Goods that prosecutors say shows that

0:44:30.600 --> 0:44:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Coburger bought the black And I didn't know what this was.

0:44:33.360 --> 0:44:34.880
<v Speaker 1>I never heard of this before, but I guess this

0:44:35.120 --> 0:44:38.560
<v Speaker 1>ski mask he had on is called Bala clava.

0:44:38.640 --> 0:44:41.520
<v Speaker 3>It has an opening, fat eyes. It doesn't have like.

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.640
<v Speaker 1>Two circles, right, So I actually googled that because I

0:44:44.719 --> 0:44:47.440
<v Speaker 1>never heard of it before, and it showed up on Revolve.

0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:51.080
<v Speaker 1>So Revolved, which I ordered from eight thousand times a

0:44:51.160 --> 0:44:52.400
<v Speaker 1>day Carrie's.

0:44:52.560 --> 0:44:53.920
<v Speaker 3>So they sell a murder kit.

0:44:54.040 --> 0:44:57.480
<v Speaker 1>They sell murder kits on Revolve, and.

0:44:57.480 --> 0:44:59.280
<v Speaker 3>They have a good return policy. They have an.

0:44:59.160 --> 0:45:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Amazing return So he could have worn it, yeah, returned

0:45:02.400 --> 0:45:04.200
<v Speaker 1>it that night, put it back in the box, put

0:45:04.200 --> 0:45:06.359
<v Speaker 1>the shipping label on, and sent the mass back.

0:45:07.239 --> 0:45:11.799
<v Speaker 2>And I think one of the uh surviving roommates she

0:45:11.960 --> 0:45:13.880
<v Speaker 2>drew what kind of mask he wore.

0:45:14.160 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>She did match that type exactly. It's that open, just

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>like you said.

0:45:19.280 --> 0:45:22.759
<v Speaker 3>The one ninja. You look like a ninja, right, So.

0:45:22.800 --> 0:45:25.480
<v Speaker 1>The same type of mass was described by a surviving roommate,

0:45:25.520 --> 0:45:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and she also, like you just said, in a police sketch,

0:45:27.520 --> 0:45:29.279
<v Speaker 1>she claimed she saw a man wearing a black ski

0:45:29.400 --> 0:45:32.360
<v Speaker 1>mask inside the King Rode home the night of the killings.

0:45:32.560 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 1>She also said that she could tell that he had

0:45:35.680 --> 0:45:36.759
<v Speaker 1>bushy eyebrows.

0:45:36.920 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which that.

0:45:37.600 --> 0:45:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Comes into play later because apparently he took a selfie

0:45:41.000 --> 0:45:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the morning after the murders.

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:45.520
<v Speaker 3>And does he not have bushy eyebrows. He does, Oh

0:45:45.520 --> 0:45:47.960
<v Speaker 3>he does? He shaved him or something.

0:45:47.960 --> 0:45:50.200
<v Speaker 1>No, no, So this a selfie that he took the

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:52.120
<v Speaker 1>morning after the murders. I believe it was like they

0:45:52.120 --> 0:45:55.239
<v Speaker 1>found it in his phone, you know, evidence that apparently

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:57.480
<v Speaker 1>he took it around ten am or something like that.

0:45:57.560 --> 0:46:01.799
<v Speaker 1>He's like freshly showered, you know, just just committed the

0:46:01.800 --> 0:46:04.080
<v Speaker 1>perfect murder. I'm going to take a selfie as a

0:46:04.120 --> 0:46:06.480
<v Speaker 1>thumbs up, right, he has like there's like a shower

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:08.440
<v Speaker 1>head in the background, but.

0:46:09.800 --> 0:46:10.319
<v Speaker 3>There's a shower.

0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:14.680
<v Speaker 1>He jumped inaid okay, Yeah, So he takes a shower,

0:46:14.760 --> 0:46:18.040
<v Speaker 1>he cleans off all the evidence, apparently allegedly, and then

0:46:18.120 --> 0:46:20.880
<v Speaker 1>he takes his selfie around ten am I believe was

0:46:20.920 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the time frame. This is after the murders. He's clean,

0:46:24.200 --> 0:46:27.560
<v Speaker 1>he's got his bushy eyebrows, and he's got a thumbs up.

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:31.440
<v Speaker 1>So I know the prosecution wants to enter this selfie

0:46:31.680 --> 0:46:35.520
<v Speaker 1>into evidence to show to corroborate that she said the

0:46:35.560 --> 0:46:37.279
<v Speaker 1>man she saw had bushy eyebrows, and here we have

0:46:37.320 --> 0:46:41.440
<v Speaker 1>a selfie up all close in time with the bushy eyebrows. So,

0:46:42.280 --> 0:46:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in addition, investigators found a k bar military knife sheath,

0:46:45.480 --> 0:46:48.520
<v Speaker 1>which we knew and though the knife itself is still missing,

0:46:48.840 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 1>which we think possibly he got rid of it maybe

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>in the river. Prosecutors say Coburger bought a k bar

0:46:54.160 --> 0:46:56.400
<v Speaker 1>knife eight months before the killings. So we have the

0:46:56.480 --> 0:47:00.400
<v Speaker 1>DNA evidence and we also have the car act. So

0:47:00.520 --> 0:47:03.239
<v Speaker 1>state prosecutors presented a map detailing what they say are

0:47:03.239 --> 0:47:06.400
<v Speaker 1>the times and locations Coburger's vehicle was picked up on

0:47:06.520 --> 0:47:10.680
<v Speaker 1>surveillance video near the crime scene. After reviewing several videos

0:47:10.719 --> 0:47:13.279
<v Speaker 1>obtained from the area near the crime scene, authority saw

0:47:13.360 --> 0:47:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the suspects vehicle later determined to be a twenty fifteen

0:47:16.239 --> 0:47:20.759
<v Speaker 1>white Hyundai Elantra multiple times between three twenty nine am

0:47:20.920 --> 0:47:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and four to twenty am on the day of the attack. So,

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:27.759
<v Speaker 1>like we said earlier, there's ring footage of this car

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and they live on this house. The murder house is

0:47:31.800 --> 0:47:33.319
<v Speaker 1>on a dead end.

0:47:34.520 --> 0:47:37.880
<v Speaker 3>So you're definitely not driving by, right, so it's not

0:47:38.040 --> 0:47:38.600
<v Speaker 3>like you're just.

0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:42.920
<v Speaker 1>Driving by, you're going pass, you're turning. I think they

0:47:43.000 --> 0:47:45.759
<v Speaker 1>have video surveillance of him doing a three point turn,

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and then there's surveillance of him at like four twenty

0:47:49.120 --> 0:47:53.959
<v Speaker 1>five am or something leaving quickly in this car investigators

0:47:54.000 --> 0:47:57.080
<v Speaker 1>found out that Coburger had registered the twenty fifteen white

0:47:57.080 --> 0:48:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Alantra in Washington on November eighteen, five days after the killings.

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:05.120
<v Speaker 1>So this is interesting because I was thinking, did he

0:48:05.320 --> 0:48:11.520
<v Speaker 1>purposefully not register his vehicle in Washington, because in Washington

0:48:11.600 --> 0:48:13.439
<v Speaker 1>then you have to have a plate on the front

0:48:13.480 --> 0:48:16.920
<v Speaker 1>and the back of the car. His car was registered

0:48:16.960 --> 0:48:19.319
<v Speaker 1>in Pennsylvania, where he's from, and he had no front

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:22.960
<v Speaker 1>license plate. So do you think that he I mean,

0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:27.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a criminology major. He's getting a PhD. So I

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:29.440
<v Speaker 1>thought he was thinking he was out smarting police by

0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:32.960
<v Speaker 1>not having a front license plate and not registering his

0:48:33.080 --> 0:48:33.680
<v Speaker 1>car in Washington.

0:48:33.760 --> 0:48:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but you're making a connection. He didn't register so

0:48:36.239 --> 0:48:39.120
<v Speaker 2>you wouldn't have to put a plate on. Amazing, Well,

0:48:39.800 --> 0:48:41.600
<v Speaker 2>was it criminal you would just not put a plate on,

0:48:42.480 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Like all of a sudden, He's like, oh, I got

0:48:44.200 --> 0:48:46.760
<v Speaker 2>to follow the local state highway rules.

0:48:46.920 --> 0:48:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Well, what's the what's his reasoning for waiting five days

0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:51.920
<v Speaker 1>after the murders to then register his car in Washington.

0:48:52.400 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:55.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm just saying, if you are meticulously planning a murder

0:48:56.040 --> 0:48:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and you buy the murder weapon eight months before, and

0:48:58.600 --> 0:49:02.279
<v Speaker 1>you and you purchased this ski mask, and you've gone by,

0:49:02.520 --> 0:49:05.680
<v Speaker 1>and there there is I don't know if I already

0:49:05.680 --> 0:49:08.879
<v Speaker 1>said this, but there they picked up on his cell

0:49:08.960 --> 0:49:12.320
<v Speaker 1>phone where he had driven by this residence twelve times

0:49:12.400 --> 0:49:15.840
<v Speaker 1>prior to that night. Yeah, so he's canvassing this house.

0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:19.400
<v Speaker 1>And every time they picked him he pinged, you know,

0:49:19.600 --> 0:49:22.160
<v Speaker 1>near their house on his phone. It was at nighttime

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:25.879
<v Speaker 1>or early morning. So it's not like he's driving by

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:27.440
<v Speaker 1>because he's I don't know.

0:49:28.800 --> 0:49:30.880
<v Speaker 3>Business being on that street right in the middle of

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:31.160
<v Speaker 3>the night.

0:49:31.360 --> 0:49:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Right. So my point is, if this man is meticulously

0:49:36.160 --> 0:49:38.360
<v Speaker 1>planning a murdery, is a criminology.

0:49:39.360 --> 0:49:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, but he still makes mistakes. He left the

0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:42.600
<v Speaker 3>knife cover, I.

0:49:42.880 --> 0:49:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Know he made, like the most basic one. He left

0:49:45.560 --> 0:49:48.600
<v Speaker 1>the murder weapon behind, yeah, or not the weapon, but

0:49:48.680 --> 0:49:51.960
<v Speaker 1>the sheath he left it behind. I don't know. I

0:49:52.120 --> 0:49:55.400
<v Speaker 1>was just thinking that the license plate in registering the

0:49:55.480 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 1>car was probably some thought that he had that he

0:49:58.120 --> 0:50:01.680
<v Speaker 1>was evading police in some type of manner. Anyway, that's

0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:01.960
<v Speaker 1>just me.

0:50:02.080 --> 0:50:04.880
<v Speaker 3>But again, when he goes down. You also thought Washington

0:50:04.920 --> 0:50:06.560
<v Speaker 3>and Idaho were far apart. I did.

0:50:06.640 --> 0:50:09.840
<v Speaker 1>I thought? I thought I thought Idaho was like I

0:50:09.920 --> 0:50:13.320
<v Speaker 1>thought Idaho was in the southern United States, Like, I

0:50:13.360 --> 0:50:15.600
<v Speaker 1>thought Idaho was down by Utah. Isn't.

0:50:15.880 --> 0:50:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Well, it touches Utah also.

0:50:17.320 --> 0:50:19.399
<v Speaker 1>But I thought it was below Utah. I didn't really.

0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:25.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh wow, yeah, no, way off. That's why I drive everywhere.

0:50:25.640 --> 0:50:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Okay, that's why when you're like I'll be home in

0:50:28.160 --> 0:50:32.080
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes and it's thirty four minutes later. Where exactly,

0:50:32.440 --> 0:50:34.600
<v Speaker 2>And then you're like, I need gas again, I'm like, already,

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:36.640
<v Speaker 2>I just drive a lot.

0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:37.800
<v Speaker 3>Yes, you do.

0:50:38.560 --> 0:50:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Also, I read that this is interesting. You'll find this interesting.

0:50:42.520 --> 0:50:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Are you listening? Are you paying attention? In Idaho, where

0:50:48.239 --> 0:50:52.160
<v Speaker 1>he's being tried, the state requires that if you're going

0:50:52.320 --> 0:50:56.239
<v Speaker 1>to use an alibi defense that you have to well,

0:50:56.320 --> 0:51:00.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to file that prior to the trial. I

0:51:00.239 --> 0:51:02.680
<v Speaker 1>want a surprise, you can't do a surprise alibi, you

0:51:02.800 --> 0:51:06.000
<v Speaker 1>have to file. So basically, defence has filed an alibi

0:51:06.840 --> 0:51:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that he was driving around the night of the murders

0:51:10.840 --> 0:51:14.000
<v Speaker 1>because he likes to look at the stars. So basically

0:51:14.120 --> 0:51:16.960
<v Speaker 1>what they've done is take the evidence that the prosecution

0:51:17.280 --> 0:51:20.120
<v Speaker 1>has and then you formulate you turn it around and

0:51:20.239 --> 0:51:23.759
<v Speaker 1>formulate an alibi around that, and it's their alibi is

0:51:23.840 --> 0:51:25.520
<v Speaker 1>he was alone in his car driving around, But he

0:51:25.600 --> 0:51:27.439
<v Speaker 1>does that a lot because he likes to just drive around.

0:51:27.520 --> 0:51:28.400
<v Speaker 3>This was in November.

0:51:28.640 --> 0:51:30.880
<v Speaker 2>I wonder if it was like overcast and stuff, because

0:51:30.880 --> 0:51:32.760
<v Speaker 2>that would be easy to be like, really, there's no stars,

0:51:32.800 --> 0:51:33.839
<v Speaker 2>it was overcast that night.

0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:34.680
<v Speaker 3>Well, no, he drove.

0:51:34.719 --> 0:51:37.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean he drove by their house twelve times between

0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:38.760
<v Speaker 1>June and November.

0:51:38.960 --> 0:51:42.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh, so he's this dead end has a really good

0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:44.160
<v Speaker 3>showing of the star. Right.

0:51:44.400 --> 0:51:46.839
<v Speaker 1>I love to drive down this dead end and look

0:51:46.880 --> 0:51:51.000
<v Speaker 1>at the stars and the hiking trails. On November thirteenth,

0:51:51.040 --> 0:51:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the suspect's phone was near his home in Pullman, Washington,

0:51:54.160 --> 0:51:58.440
<v Speaker 1>that's where he's in the PhD program at two forty

0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:00.759
<v Speaker 1>seven am, but did not appear on a network again

0:52:00.840 --> 0:52:04.120
<v Speaker 1>until approximately four forty eight am, when it was detected

0:52:04.200 --> 0:52:07.360
<v Speaker 1>near Blaine, which is south of Moscow, Idaho, where the

0:52:07.440 --> 0:52:10.920
<v Speaker 1>murders took place. Basically, what he has done you can

0:52:10.960 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 1>tell is he shut his phone off between two forty

0:52:13.640 --> 0:52:16.840
<v Speaker 1>seven am and four forty eight because there's no cell phone.

0:52:16.680 --> 0:52:19.400
<v Speaker 3>Data, which is more suspicious.

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Right, So I'm saying again he's trying to elude police

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:23.760
<v Speaker 1>by turning.

0:52:23.840 --> 0:52:26.080
<v Speaker 2>It's like when the criminal wants to elud police and

0:52:26.080 --> 0:52:28.799
<v Speaker 2>all of a sudden they got their car like completely detailed, right,

0:52:28.840 --> 0:52:31.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it's like the guy will be like, yeah,

0:52:31.400 --> 0:52:33.080
<v Speaker 2>he's my neighbor. I've never seen him wash his car

0:52:33.160 --> 0:52:34.480
<v Speaker 2>in ten years, and all of a sudden he got

0:52:34.520 --> 0:52:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a detail service.

0:52:35.520 --> 0:52:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah all right. Or when there's a murder on the

0:52:37.400 --> 0:52:39.480
<v Speaker 1>carpet and they rip the carpet out, your new carpet,

0:52:39.600 --> 0:52:43.239
<v Speaker 1>yffe area, I just need a new carpet throughout the

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:46.200
<v Speaker 1>entire house. So anyway, what he's done is he has

0:52:46.239 --> 0:52:49.120
<v Speaker 1>all this cell phone data right it's pinging, pinging, And

0:52:49.239 --> 0:52:51.879
<v Speaker 1>then between the timeframe of the murders there's no cell phone.

0:52:52.200 --> 0:52:53.920
<v Speaker 1>He turns his phone off, I know.

0:52:54.320 --> 0:52:58.320
<v Speaker 3>And it's like when people burn a house down to

0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:00.680
<v Speaker 3>hide a murder. Yeah, it actually.

0:53:00.480 --> 0:53:02.840
<v Speaker 2>Creates more evidence because you can see that it was

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:05.880
<v Speaker 2>like an arson and it started over here and like

0:53:06.040 --> 0:53:07.680
<v Speaker 2>and then it's like, oh, they use this gas can,

0:53:07.760 --> 0:53:09.160
<v Speaker 2>then they can find out where the gas get was.

0:53:09.200 --> 0:53:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Bot I always like.

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:11.719
<v Speaker 1>When people burn a house down to cover up a murder,

0:53:11.800 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 1>but then they find the body in the house and

0:53:13.640 --> 0:53:15.560
<v Speaker 1>it has like a bullet hole in the body and

0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you're like and.

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:19.560
<v Speaker 2>And it creates more evidence for them to find someone

0:53:19.640 --> 0:53:21.239
<v Speaker 2>because now there's an arson case.

0:53:21.800 --> 0:53:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, they just created it.

0:53:23.520 --> 0:53:24.600
<v Speaker 3>They create more evidence.

0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:26.920
<v Speaker 2>So here he is creating more evidence like turning his

0:53:27.040 --> 0:53:29.040
<v Speaker 2>phone off, which you know, kind of lets you know

0:53:29.120 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 2>what he was thinking or what he was planning, or

0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:32.520
<v Speaker 2>where it was turned off and where it was turned

0:53:32.560 --> 0:53:32.800
<v Speaker 2>back on.

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:35.759
<v Speaker 1>So the lack of phone data during this crucial time

0:53:35.800 --> 0:53:38.760
<v Speaker 1>period is consistent with Coburger attempting to conceal his location

0:53:38.920 --> 0:53:42.640
<v Speaker 1>during the quadruple homicide. This is what investigators determine. Less

0:53:42.640 --> 0:53:44.959
<v Speaker 1>than four hours later, between ninety twelve and nine twenty

0:53:45.000 --> 0:53:47.759
<v Speaker 1>one am, Coburger's phone was detected near the crime scene

0:53:47.880 --> 0:53:50.600
<v Speaker 1>again in Idaho, which suggests he returned to the area

0:53:51.000 --> 0:53:54.800
<v Speaker 1>after allegedly killing the four students. This is my question.

0:53:55.640 --> 0:53:58.600
<v Speaker 1>Did he go back to the crime scene because his

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:01.320
<v Speaker 1>usually do, But why did he? Why did he not

0:54:01.400 --> 0:54:03.360
<v Speaker 1>turn his cell phone off? Then if he's turned his

0:54:03.440 --> 0:54:06.080
<v Speaker 1>cell phone off the night of the murders, so there's

0:54:06.160 --> 0:54:08.680
<v Speaker 1>no cell phone data, but then he goes back the

0:54:08.800 --> 0:54:11.320
<v Speaker 1>next morning, why did he not turn his cell phone

0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:11.799
<v Speaker 1>off again?

0:54:11.880 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 2>He's he he could have simply forgot. He could alsop

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:17.080
<v Speaker 2>the crimes already done, so they're.

0:54:16.960 --> 0:54:18.879
<v Speaker 3>Not going to look at my data after I don't

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:19.520
<v Speaker 3>know who knows.

0:54:19.719 --> 0:54:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he went back to look for the

0:54:21.080 --> 0:54:23.080
<v Speaker 1>knife sheath? I mean, what's he gonna do go in

0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:23.799
<v Speaker 1>the house in the morning.

0:54:24.080 --> 0:54:25.439
<v Speaker 3>Excuse me, excuse.

0:54:25.120 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Me, I left something.

0:54:27.200 --> 0:54:32.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't know, I don't know. There's

0:54:32.200 --> 0:54:34.520
<v Speaker 3>also do you think he's going to change somebody? Do

0:54:34.560 --> 0:54:36.880
<v Speaker 3>you think he's going to testify? You think this is

0:54:36.920 --> 0:54:38.560
<v Speaker 3>the kind of guy that's like, no, no.

0:54:38.719 --> 0:54:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I tell you he won't testify because well, first of all,

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I've learned that he's on the spectrum, and that's that's

0:54:43.320 --> 0:54:45.239
<v Speaker 1>a defense that they that the defense is going to

0:54:45.320 --> 0:54:46.560
<v Speaker 1>use for the weak defense.

0:54:46.640 --> 0:54:49.200
<v Speaker 2>You know why, Well, because he's a PhD mate, he's

0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:51.759
<v Speaker 2>pursuing a PhD, and he's going to claim like I'm

0:54:51.800 --> 0:54:52.359
<v Speaker 2>not all there.

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:54.359
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think they're going to use autism as

0:54:54.760 --> 0:54:57.200
<v Speaker 1>as a defense. They're going to use autism as if

0:54:57.239 --> 0:54:59.480
<v Speaker 1>he's convicted that they can't give him the death penalty

0:54:59.480 --> 0:55:03.359
<v Speaker 1>because it's and unusual unusual punishment with someone too.

0:55:03.480 --> 0:55:05.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well killing four people, and.

0:55:07.040 --> 0:55:10.719
<v Speaker 1>I get it, but I if he's autistic, and I

0:55:10.880 --> 0:55:14.920
<v Speaker 1>do believe that I've read that he suffers with depression

0:55:15.000 --> 0:55:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and that he wrote something about not having emotions and

0:55:17.520 --> 0:55:18.880
<v Speaker 1>not being able to show emotions.

0:55:20.800 --> 0:55:23.160
<v Speaker 3>How can you be depressed if you don't have emotions.

0:55:23.800 --> 0:55:26.520
<v Speaker 1>Well, you can be depressed and sad. He had a

0:55:26.600 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>heroin addiction. I mean, he's got all kinds of Yeah,

0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he had a heroin addiction because apparently he was depressed,

0:55:33.080 --> 0:55:36.400
<v Speaker 1>so he did heroin. And I did read somewhere that

0:55:36.480 --> 0:55:42.160
<v Speaker 1>he wrote something online about not having feelings and emotions.

0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:44.040
<v Speaker 1>And I'm just saying, someone like that, with that kind

0:55:44.080 --> 0:55:47.959
<v Speaker 1>of intense stare, with no emotions, you can't put someone

0:55:48.040 --> 0:55:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on the stand like that. They're gonna come off callous

0:55:52.400 --> 0:55:56.799
<v Speaker 1>and cold. And he's got bushy eyebrows, like.

0:55:58.280 --> 0:56:02.160
<v Speaker 3>You're you're not put someone on the stand and it's

0:56:02.200 --> 0:56:03.680
<v Speaker 3>not going to be favorable, is what you're saying.

0:56:03.760 --> 0:56:05.399
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm trying to say it and a way, Yeah,

0:56:05.440 --> 0:56:06.040
<v Speaker 1>thank you for saying.

0:56:06.080 --> 0:56:08.200
<v Speaker 3>But he might want to.

0:56:09.160 --> 0:56:11.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but the defense team at the end, well, I

0:56:11.120 --> 0:56:13.399
<v Speaker 1>mean I guess that it is up to him. Yeah,

0:56:13.800 --> 0:56:15.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he will. I think that they would

0:56:15.920 --> 0:56:18.480
<v Speaker 1>talk him out of it and say no way right right.

0:56:26.160 --> 0:56:28.920
<v Speaker 1>I do know because I've watched every episode of Forensic

0:56:29.000 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Files that when a lot of times murderers go back

0:56:32.680 --> 0:56:35.359
<v Speaker 1>to the crime scene immediately because they like to they

0:56:35.560 --> 0:56:35.759
<v Speaker 1>like to.

0:56:35.800 --> 0:56:37.920
<v Speaker 3>See their work. Yeah, you didn't have to watch the

0:56:37.960 --> 0:56:40.000
<v Speaker 3>files to know that. Well, that's the maintain thing. They

0:56:40.000 --> 0:56:41.640
<v Speaker 3>always return to the scene of the crime, right.

0:56:41.680 --> 0:56:43.799
<v Speaker 1>And I know a lot of times when police are investigating,

0:56:44.239 --> 0:56:48.400
<v Speaker 1>they do a sweep yeah of the scene, right because

0:56:48.400 --> 0:56:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times the fine.

0:56:50.600 --> 0:56:53.200
<v Speaker 3>Who's suspicious, who's acting odd and stuff, and they can

0:56:53.440 --> 0:56:53.879
<v Speaker 3>or who they.

0:56:53.880 --> 0:56:58.680
<v Speaker 1>See repeatedly in the background or talking or being around anyway.

0:56:58.480 --> 0:57:01.200
<v Speaker 2>Especially if someone like him is talking to the Oh

0:57:01.280 --> 0:57:02.880
<v Speaker 2>wasn't he like talking to the police when he got

0:57:02.960 --> 0:57:05.600
<v Speaker 2>arrested too? And he was all like casual and askaying

0:57:05.680 --> 0:57:07.120
<v Speaker 2>we should go out to coffee, and he was asking

0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:09.960
<v Speaker 2>him questions about their careers and stuff. It's like, dude,

0:57:10.000 --> 0:57:13.920
<v Speaker 2>you were just arrested for murder and you're just like

0:57:14.080 --> 0:57:15.600
<v Speaker 2>curious to know about their careers and you want to

0:57:15.600 --> 0:57:17.200
<v Speaker 2>go have cock with them to talk about things.

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, apparently he had applied to like the Pullman, that's

0:57:21.800 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 1>the city he lived in in Washington, Like he had

0:57:23.760 --> 0:57:26.960
<v Speaker 1>applied to their police department, like he wanted to do

0:57:27.120 --> 0:57:29.800
<v Speaker 1>some kind of research or something, or help them in

0:57:29.880 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>crime scenes or something. So maybe he was just casually

0:57:34.280 --> 0:57:35.480
<v Speaker 1>asking them about their job.

0:57:35.600 --> 0:57:37.880
<v Speaker 3>No, but that's what you would be doing.

0:57:37.960 --> 0:57:40.920
<v Speaker 2>If you're arrested for murder and you didn't commit it,

0:57:41.040 --> 0:57:44.480
<v Speaker 2>then you're just casually making small talk with the police.

0:57:44.640 --> 0:57:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Well, if you were arrested for murder and you're in

0:57:46.920 --> 0:57:48.720
<v Speaker 1>the back of the car and you did not do it,

0:57:48.840 --> 0:57:50.040
<v Speaker 1>what would you be talking about.

0:57:50.640 --> 0:57:54.920
<v Speaker 3>I wouldn't be saying anything. No, No, I don't that.

0:57:55.280 --> 0:57:58.360
<v Speaker 1>You'd be cracking jokes. You'd be like, I didn't push

0:57:58.400 --> 0:58:01.360
<v Speaker 1>her off the cliff. She annoys me, but I didn't

0:58:01.440 --> 0:58:01.680
<v Speaker 1>do that.

0:58:02.840 --> 0:58:04.560
<v Speaker 3>She's always taken selfies.

0:58:08.280 --> 0:58:12.200
<v Speaker 1>All right. Back to Brian Coberger. So this is another

0:58:12.200 --> 0:58:14.720
<v Speaker 1>piece of evidence that I know that the prosecution wants

0:58:14.760 --> 0:58:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to enter. Coburger wrote in twenty twenty while he was

0:58:17.960 --> 0:58:20.360
<v Speaker 1>a student at the Sales University of Pennsylvania this is

0:58:20.400 --> 0:58:24.160
<v Speaker 1>where he got his undergrad degree and criminology, that they

0:58:24.200 --> 0:58:26.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted to introduce this paper he wrote that shows the

0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:30.200
<v Speaker 1>defendant's knowledge of crime scenes. First of all, he's a

0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:33.640
<v Speaker 1>criminology major. Of course, he wrote papers about crime scene

0:58:33.720 --> 0:58:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, the twelve page paper entitled it.

0:58:36.760 --> 0:58:38.320
<v Speaker 2>Was not like he was a theater major and he

0:58:38.400 --> 0:58:42.320
<v Speaker 2>wrote it wrote a script about killing four, you know,

0:58:42.600 --> 0:58:43.880
<v Speaker 2>college students in Idaho.

0:58:44.200 --> 0:58:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, of course he wrote about crime scenes. He's

0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:50.960
<v Speaker 1>getting a PhD in criminology. I mean that's part of

0:58:51.040 --> 0:58:54.720
<v Speaker 1>the scope of his education. But the twelve page paper

0:58:54.920 --> 0:58:58.640
<v Speaker 1>entitled crime Scene Scenario Final used an example of a

0:58:58.720 --> 0:59:01.680
<v Speaker 1>killing at which a knife was a currently used. The

0:59:01.760 --> 0:59:05.120
<v Speaker 1>paper discusses the many steps authorities should take to secure

0:59:05.160 --> 0:59:08.120
<v Speaker 1>and investigate a crime scene, and details the equipment used

0:59:08.160 --> 0:59:11.320
<v Speaker 1>for crime scene investigation, how to collect evidence, and how

0:59:11.360 --> 0:59:15.240
<v Speaker 1>to enter a crime scene to avoid contamination, including wearing

0:59:15.320 --> 0:59:19.160
<v Speaker 1>gloves and other protective equipment. He clearly missed the part

0:59:19.200 --> 0:59:24.600
<v Speaker 1>about leaving behind evidence, though, I feel like he should

0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:29.720
<v Speaker 1>have focused more on taking your crime scene weapon home

0:59:30.080 --> 0:59:33.800
<v Speaker 1>right afterwards. Anything that is fiber free, because you don't

0:59:33.800 --> 0:59:37.840
<v Speaker 1>want to leave fibers and covers the mouth, hair and

0:59:38.000 --> 0:59:41.120
<v Speaker 1>overall body would be helpful in avoiding crime scene contamination

0:59:41.600 --> 0:59:43.640
<v Speaker 1>basically because you don't want to leave DNA behind, right.

0:59:44.200 --> 0:59:46.720
<v Speaker 1>So I guess they want to submit this paper as

0:59:46.920 --> 0:59:51.240
<v Speaker 1>evidence that he's aware of how to not contaminate a

0:59:51.280 --> 0:59:53.280
<v Speaker 1>crime scene. But also it is interesting and we didn't

0:59:53.280 --> 0:59:56.400
<v Speaker 1>talk about this yet because there wasn't. There wasn't And

0:59:57.000 --> 1:00:01.360
<v Speaker 1>they did confiscate his car and they did the whole

1:00:01.560 --> 1:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>thorough check up with nothing. They found nothing. There was

1:00:05.480 --> 1:00:08.120
<v Speaker 1>no DNA from the from any of the kids, There

1:00:08.200 --> 1:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>was no blood, there was no there's nothing. So I

1:00:11.960 --> 1:00:15.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know if he did some incredible thorough cleaning of

1:00:15.520 --> 1:00:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the car or or he.

1:00:17.360 --> 1:00:20.000
<v Speaker 3>Wore like a whole suit or something. It dumped.

1:00:20.040 --> 1:00:24.000
<v Speaker 2>It was just completely covered so that there was no

1:00:24.400 --> 1:00:26.640
<v Speaker 2>That means there was no transferring like a fibers from

1:00:27.080 --> 1:00:28.320
<v Speaker 2>their house to his car.

1:00:28.600 --> 1:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Right, and he he killed four people with a knife.

1:00:31.920 --> 1:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>There's blood everywhere. How did he not get any blood

1:00:36.240 --> 1:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>transferred from these killings in this house to the car

1:00:39.840 --> 1:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>to the car?

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:41.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:00:41.880 --> 1:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>You tell me that.

1:00:43.040 --> 1:00:43.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:47.360
<v Speaker 2>I can only picture he had something like full blown

1:00:47.520 --> 1:00:52.439
<v Speaker 2>like you know, you know Beekeeper's outfit on, like and then.

1:00:52.400 --> 1:00:53.160
<v Speaker 3>He tossed.

1:00:54.600 --> 1:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>That departed where uh yeah, at the end. Oh it's

1:00:58.800 --> 1:01:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Wahlberg right where he walked to that apartment at the

1:01:01.200 --> 1:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>end and he's just covered from bad to do with.

1:01:04.040 --> 1:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>A gun in his hand, right yeah. And then Matt

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:09.680
<v Speaker 2>David's character is like, oh, man, like, I know where

1:01:09.760 --> 1:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>this is going.

1:01:10.720 --> 1:01:15.040
<v Speaker 1>But the only thing is she saw him and he

1:01:15.120 --> 1:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>had the mask on. But I don't think she said

1:01:17.320 --> 1:01:19.439
<v Speaker 1>she said he was dressed in black. It's also dark.

1:01:19.520 --> 1:01:20.600
<v Speaker 1>It's also four.

1:01:20.560 --> 1:01:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Twenty morning, So I imagine she just saw his eyes

1:01:23.720 --> 1:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and then slammed the door or whatever.

1:01:24.840 --> 1:01:26.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't imagine she like, you know, looked him up

1:01:26.880 --> 1:01:27.200
<v Speaker 3>and down.

1:01:27.520 --> 1:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know all. I just can't get past the

1:01:29.640 --> 1:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>fact that he stabbed four students and ended up not

1:01:34.920 --> 1:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>tracking blood anywhere and not having blood in his car.

1:01:38.920 --> 1:01:39.240
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

1:01:39.560 --> 1:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about what the motive would be. It's unclear

1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:46.960
<v Speaker 1>if Brian Coberger had a motive or knew the victims beforehand.

1:01:47.000 --> 1:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>We did talk about how possibly he knew them from

1:01:49.960 --> 1:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>going to this restaurant. However, Kaylee Gone called us. His parents,

1:01:53.720 --> 1:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Steven Christie, believe they have proof of a connection, and

1:01:56.760 --> 1:01:59.760
<v Speaker 1>the minutes after learning Coburger's name, Christy, the mom says,

1:01:59.800 --> 1:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>we went online and immediately started googling. They say they

1:02:02.920 --> 1:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>discovered digital evidence that showed a tie between Coburger and

1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>two of the victims. In an interview with forty eight hours,

1:02:09.040 --> 1:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>the Gone Calvis family provided screenshots of an Instagram account

1:02:12.640 --> 1:02:16.000
<v Speaker 1>they believe belonged to Coburger. Those screenshots include what they

1:02:16.040 --> 1:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>say is Coburger's Instagram profile and a list of people

1:02:18.880 --> 1:02:23.959
<v Speaker 1>he was following, including Matti Mogan and Kaylee Gonekalvez. Forty

1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>eight hours has not been able to confirm the authenticity

1:02:26.600 --> 1:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>of this Instagram account. However, Christy Gone Calvez, who is

1:02:31.080 --> 1:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the mother, says when they attempted to cross reference the

1:02:33.200 --> 1:02:36.800
<v Speaker 1>accounts of Kaylee, Mattie, Xana, and Ethan, it appeared that

1:02:38.080 --> 1:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>that this Coburger account had interacted with Mattie's Instagram. You

1:02:42.480 --> 1:02:44.920
<v Speaker 1>would go to Mattie's Instagram account and look at her pictures,

1:02:44.960 --> 1:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and he liked them. Christy said, so he was actively

1:02:47.960 --> 1:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>looking at the Instagram account. That's something else that I

1:02:50.960 --> 1:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>think is interesting that'll come more up a trial was

1:02:52.960 --> 1:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>whether this was his Instagram account, if they can link

1:02:55.840 --> 1:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>it to him in some way to authenticate it, and

1:02:58.920 --> 1:03:02.480
<v Speaker 1>if so, then he clearly had some kind of obsession.

1:03:02.520 --> 1:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say, yeah, that he found her online. He's

1:03:06.240 --> 1:03:08.880
<v Speaker 1>met her at the restaurant, she was cute and blonde.

1:03:09.960 --> 1:03:12.800
<v Speaker 1>He finds her Instagram, He's liking her photos, he's sending

1:03:12.880 --> 1:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>her a DM. He probably followed her home from work

1:03:15.360 --> 1:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>one day he found out where.

1:03:16.600 --> 1:03:18.600
<v Speaker 2>She lived, Not like he went out on three dates

1:03:18.640 --> 1:03:20.040
<v Speaker 2>and she dumped him and said I want to see

1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:21.480
<v Speaker 2>you and then he got obsessed.

1:03:21.080 --> 1:03:21.640
<v Speaker 3>And killed her.

1:03:21.880 --> 1:03:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like he never even like interactive with he

1:03:25.040 --> 1:03:26.200
<v Speaker 2>never went on a date with her, and he wants

1:03:26.200 --> 1:03:26.640
<v Speaker 2>to kill her.

1:03:27.040 --> 1:03:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Like you're obsessed where you just want to follow him

1:03:29.760 --> 1:03:33.800
<v Speaker 3>and then kill him. Yeah, weird. I mean it's it's

1:03:33.840 --> 1:03:35.280
<v Speaker 3>evil either way, but it's just weird.

1:03:35.440 --> 1:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean he's a serial killer, so I know

1:03:38.200 --> 1:03:40.680
<v Speaker 1>he's killer. He's not a serial killer. He killed four people,

1:03:40.920 --> 1:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>not a serial killing.

1:03:41.920 --> 1:03:43.640
<v Speaker 3>A serial kill you have to keep repeating the crime

1:03:43.720 --> 1:03:45.479
<v Speaker 3>over and over. So you're saying because he killed four people,

1:03:45.640 --> 1:03:48.240
<v Speaker 3>well then every burglar would be a serial burglar because

1:03:48.240 --> 1:03:49.560
<v Speaker 3>they took more one thing in the house.

1:03:50.040 --> 1:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I never thought of it that way.

1:03:51.560 --> 1:03:53.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I'll start thinking like idea and you'll get a

1:03:53.920 --> 1:03:54.240
<v Speaker 3>lot fast.

1:03:54.320 --> 1:03:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know what, he might have killed again, though,

1:03:57.760 --> 1:04:01.240
<v Speaker 1>but he messed up so many times. Sad he was caught,

1:04:03.120 --> 1:04:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and maybe he went into criminology because he's obsessed with

1:04:06.360 --> 1:04:08.280
<v Speaker 1>crimes and he wanted to commit the perfect crime.

1:04:08.600 --> 1:04:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Maybe maybe and so and then he saw her.

1:04:12.040 --> 1:04:13.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I guess people do go into their career

1:04:14.760 --> 1:04:16.720
<v Speaker 2>like to pursue their career to perfect.

1:04:16.840 --> 1:04:18.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Like if I'm going to go to culinary art school,

1:04:18.800 --> 1:04:21.960
<v Speaker 3>it's because I want to like bake the best pie. Right, yeah,

1:04:22.120 --> 1:04:22.919
<v Speaker 3>so maybe he did.

1:04:23.120 --> 1:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't him a picture you baking a pie. I

1:04:25.480 --> 1:04:27.120
<v Speaker 1>would pay money to watch you bake a pie.

1:04:27.240 --> 1:04:28.439
<v Speaker 3>I can picture you eating a pie.

1:04:28.560 --> 1:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Okay, thank you for that.

1:04:32.160 --> 1:04:33.240
<v Speaker 3>Pie? You know you like him?

1:04:33.400 --> 1:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I love pie? Yeah, key pie is my favorite. All right.

1:04:37.360 --> 1:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>The parents that we were talking about this is Kaylee's

1:04:41.280 --> 1:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>parents say the account that they found, this Instagram account

1:04:44.240 --> 1:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>of Brian Coburger is no longer active. It disappeared shortly

1:04:48.040 --> 1:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>after his arrest. What did he do? Like, how do

1:04:50.760 --> 1:04:53.120
<v Speaker 1>you do you have access after you're arrested, you have

1:04:53.200 --> 1:04:55.480
<v Speaker 1>access to get on Instagram and deactivate your account.

1:04:55.680 --> 1:04:58.080
<v Speaker 3>He might deactivated it before. I don't know. Like as

1:04:58.120 --> 1:05:00.840
<v Speaker 3>he got arrested, well he got a ret you have

1:05:00.920 --> 1:05:01.600
<v Speaker 3>one phone call.

1:05:02.080 --> 1:05:03.440
<v Speaker 1>It's like he can't call Instagram.

1:05:03.840 --> 1:05:06.520
<v Speaker 3>He just logged on his Instagram. Yeah, d x J

1:05:06.680 --> 1:05:07.120
<v Speaker 3>whit out.

1:05:07.200 --> 1:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>So let's talk about some of the defense. What's the

1:05:10.480 --> 1:05:13.160
<v Speaker 1>defense going to say? First of all, without even going

1:05:13.280 --> 1:05:15.240
<v Speaker 1>through this rundown, I'll tell you the defense is going

1:05:15.280 --> 1:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to use reasonable doubt.

1:05:16.840 --> 1:05:20.640
<v Speaker 3>Because the defense us reasonable doubt. I know that. Sorry, no,

1:05:20.760 --> 1:05:21.160
<v Speaker 3>but I was.

1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:24.280
<v Speaker 1>You didn't let me explain. Of course, they're going to

1:05:24.360 --> 1:05:25.840
<v Speaker 1>use reasonable doubt. But I'll tell you they're going to

1:05:25.920 --> 1:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>use reasonable doubt because there was also blood found on

1:05:30.000 --> 1:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>a handrail that they did not test, And there was

1:05:33.200 --> 1:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>a glove with blood found outside of the house a

1:05:37.120 --> 1:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>couple of days after the murder and they did not test.

1:05:39.240 --> 1:05:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Why were they not test that?

1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:42.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I am dumbfounded by.

1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh, this little button on this knife cover, we're gonna test. Yeah,

1:05:47.520 --> 1:05:49.640
<v Speaker 3>but the bloody knife, we don't need to look into that.

1:05:49.800 --> 1:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Not a bloody knife blood.

1:05:51.920 --> 1:05:54.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, the stairway or stairwell or whatever.

1:05:54.560 --> 1:05:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I've read that these two other And also there

1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:02.840
<v Speaker 1>was DNA found a Maddie's fingernails that come from that

1:06:03.000 --> 1:06:05.280
<v Speaker 1>did not match coburger. So there was like her DNA

1:06:05.400 --> 1:06:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and unknown DNA and then another unknown DNA something like that.

1:06:10.120 --> 1:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>There's like a three part mixture and that wasn't tested.

1:06:12.920 --> 1:06:14.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe that wasn't. Well, no, it was because it

1:06:14.600 --> 1:06:17.720
<v Speaker 1>was unknown. I don't know, but there's the bloody glove

1:06:18.280 --> 1:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>and then the blood in the hallway. They did not

1:06:20.240 --> 1:06:22.560
<v Speaker 1>test and for some reason I did read in some

1:06:22.640 --> 1:06:26.720
<v Speaker 1>of these affidatas that they said that it was ineligible

1:06:27.760 --> 1:06:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to be tested in codes. And I couldn't figure out

1:06:29.600 --> 1:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>why it was ineligible. I don't know. If the sample

1:06:31.560 --> 1:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>was too small, or there was some contamination.

1:06:34.080 --> 1:06:37.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, but I wonder if they didn't want

1:06:37.720 --> 1:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>to test it maybe, or maybe they tested it and

1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:41.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't come up as the same, so they just.

1:06:41.240 --> 1:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>So you're saying they just said it wasn't tested.

1:06:43.560 --> 1:06:45.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know. I don't know.

1:06:46.320 --> 1:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought maybe, and I don't know.

1:06:49.600 --> 1:06:50.160
<v Speaker 3>This is just me.

1:06:50.400 --> 1:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>This is me speculating that maybe they didn't want to

1:06:53.680 --> 1:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>test it, because then if it comes up to someone else,

1:06:57.360 --> 1:06:59.640
<v Speaker 1>then they have to investigate that person. It takes away

1:06:59.680 --> 1:07:04.320
<v Speaker 1>from Coburger, then it's too convoluted and they have.

1:07:04.520 --> 1:07:08.360
<v Speaker 2>The defense will probably come up with the you you

1:07:08.440 --> 1:07:12.280
<v Speaker 2>didn't look into anything else, You had thousands of blinders,

1:07:12.360 --> 1:07:15.480
<v Speaker 2>only looked at my guy because you had one little

1:07:15.520 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>thing on him, and then that then you directed all

1:07:17.680 --> 1:07:18.720
<v Speaker 2>the evidence towards him, and.

1:07:18.760 --> 1:07:20.640
<v Speaker 1>We know that happens. We know that happens in a

1:07:20.720 --> 1:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of cases where you find a suspect and then

1:07:24.040 --> 1:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>they the police does a hardcore go after that suspect

1:07:26.560 --> 1:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to the exclusion of anyone else that could possibly be involved.

1:07:30.040 --> 1:07:33.400
<v Speaker 2>Defense is going to be like, once you don't look

1:07:33.440 --> 1:07:36.040
<v Speaker 2>at the DNA evidence on the knife cover, and once

1:07:36.120 --> 1:07:40.920
<v Speaker 2>you overlook the my client gazing at the stars twelve times,

1:07:41.480 --> 1:07:44.120
<v Speaker 2>and once you overlook the DMS, and once you overlook

1:07:44.160 --> 1:07:46.400
<v Speaker 2>the fact that he bought a knife eight months prior

1:07:46.920 --> 1:07:49.480
<v Speaker 2>and kept searching after the crime, and he bought this

1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:50.840
<v Speaker 2>scheme mass at Dicks.

1:07:50.920 --> 1:07:52.960
<v Speaker 3>Once you overlook that, you will see that my client

1:07:53.080 --> 1:07:55.960
<v Speaker 3>is innocent. And I urge you to look at the

1:07:56.040 --> 1:07:58.560
<v Speaker 3>facts that make my clients all right.

1:07:58.680 --> 1:08:00.880
<v Speaker 1>In other news, in this case, which I was interesting,

1:08:01.560 --> 1:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>they actually did demolish the house. And I told you

1:08:04.240 --> 1:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>this the other day and you said that that's pretty normal, when.

1:08:06.320 --> 1:08:08.560
<v Speaker 3>Well, I don't know it's normal. I think that's probably

1:08:08.760 --> 1:08:09.760
<v Speaker 3>not far fetched.

1:08:09.840 --> 1:08:12.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, when there's like a mass murder, I mean, hang

1:08:12.800 --> 1:08:14.560
<v Speaker 2>going to rent that out to their college dents.

1:08:14.760 --> 1:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think there's sickos that would like to.

1:08:17.200 --> 1:08:18.880
<v Speaker 3>Rent it there would be, and then you'd have to

1:08:18.960 --> 1:08:21.280
<v Speaker 3>disclose it right when you sell it.

1:08:21.560 --> 1:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think also maybe they had to demolish it

1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>because all these crime scene junkies there. People probably be

1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:28.880
<v Speaker 1>driving by it all the time, like you, I would love. Yeah,

1:08:29.040 --> 1:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>now I went to the Meninda's house, I would drive

1:08:31.800 --> 1:08:32.800
<v Speaker 1>by out take a road trip.

1:08:32.960 --> 1:08:36.080
<v Speaker 3>That's probably another way. So it's really just a clean slate.

1:08:36.320 --> 1:08:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. The off campus house was demolished on December twenty eight,

1:08:39.080 --> 1:08:42.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three, despite mixed feelings from the victims' families.

1:08:43.120 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 1>University officials said they decided to tear down the house

1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:48.439
<v Speaker 1>during winter break to try to decrease further impact on

1:08:48.520 --> 1:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>the students.

1:08:49.000 --> 1:08:51.240
<v Speaker 3>Who live in that area the school owned it.

1:08:52.439 --> 1:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Kaylee Gone Calves's family was firmly against knocking down the house,

1:08:56.160 --> 1:08:58.479
<v Speaker 1>saying doing so would destroy one of the most crucial

1:08:58.479 --> 1:09:00.720
<v Speaker 1>pieces of evidence in the case. For a trial date

1:09:00.840 --> 1:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>was even set.

1:09:01.760 --> 1:09:03.800
<v Speaker 3>Oh well, I was just assuming they collected all the

1:09:03.840 --> 1:09:05.000
<v Speaker 3>evidence and they got the green light.

1:09:06.040 --> 1:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>Well they did, because I did read that both sides,

1:09:08.120 --> 1:09:10.840
<v Speaker 1>prosecution and defense, both agreed that they could tear the

1:09:10.880 --> 1:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>house down because they felt as if they had everything

1:09:13.000 --> 1:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>they needed. I do understand the families thinking that I

1:09:15.880 --> 1:09:18.920
<v Speaker 1>don't know, maybe there's something more than someone. Well, I guessed,

1:09:19.000 --> 1:09:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and now they can never recover it.

1:09:20.800 --> 1:09:24.040
<v Speaker 2>It's better to I guess if I was the parent

1:09:24.120 --> 1:09:26.000
<v Speaker 2>the victim, I'd be like, we, I'd rather preserve it

1:09:26.240 --> 1:09:28.400
<v Speaker 2>just in case, you never know, right, I guess.

1:09:28.479 --> 1:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Now they don't have that option exactly. So the two

1:09:31.880 --> 1:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>surviving roommates is Bethany Funk and Dylan Mortenson, have largely

1:09:35.640 --> 1:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>remained silent since the killings. That's because there was a

1:09:37.760 --> 1:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>gag order on this case. They're not allowed to well.

1:09:40.880 --> 1:09:42.599
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what are they gonna do? Go on podcasts in time?

1:09:42.760 --> 1:09:44.720
<v Speaker 1>No, they well, they clearly can't talk about it. They

1:09:44.760 --> 1:09:47.280
<v Speaker 1>also had to move this case. They moved the venue,

1:09:47.320 --> 1:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>they moved it out of whatever this area is. It's

1:09:49.920 --> 1:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be in Boise, which is I'm not sure

1:09:52.040 --> 1:09:54.800
<v Speaker 1>exactly how far away. But I read that it doesn't

1:09:54.800 --> 1:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>really even make that much of a difference, because I

1:09:56.360 --> 1:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>think they did a poll as to how many people

1:09:58.000 --> 1:09:59.400
<v Speaker 1>have heard about the case and knew about it.

1:09:59.520 --> 1:10:01.479
<v Speaker 3>Everyone know about especially in Idaho.

1:10:01.840 --> 1:10:04.400
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't I'm moving in to Boise didn't make that

1:10:04.560 --> 1:10:07.160
<v Speaker 1>big of a difference. So jury selection is going to

1:10:07.200 --> 1:10:10.080
<v Speaker 1>be challenging as well, because I don't know how you're

1:10:10.080 --> 1:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>going to find a jury that hasn't already had some

1:10:14.880 --> 1:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of preconceived notion that Brian, especially with.

1:10:18.280 --> 1:10:21.840
<v Speaker 2>Us doing this podcast, everyone in Idaho listens to us,

1:10:21.920 --> 1:10:23.920
<v Speaker 2>they do, and now they're gonna they're.

1:10:23.760 --> 1:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Going to know what we know and what we think

1:10:27.080 --> 1:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>we know.

1:10:27.520 --> 1:10:29.040
<v Speaker 3>Right, we've clearly cracked the case.

1:10:29.080 --> 1:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>We've cracked the case. We don't care about the other

1:10:32.080 --> 1:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>DNA out there was Dan. Yes, it's he's a vegan.

1:10:37.840 --> 1:10:40.880
<v Speaker 1>He has bushy eyebrows. His name is Burger, Yes, and

1:10:40.960 --> 1:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>he drives around at night twelve stars at the stars

1:10:44.720 --> 1:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>on a dead end stream.

1:10:46.000 --> 1:10:48.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm a criminal. I'm a criminology major with a uh

1:10:49.680 --> 1:10:51.040
<v Speaker 2>A minor in astrology.

1:10:52.040 --> 1:10:54.640
<v Speaker 3>Exactly, I guess. So.

1:10:54.760 --> 1:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>The two girls wrote letters to their lost friends, which

1:10:57.200 --> 1:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>were read aloud by a passer During a December twenty

1:11:00.040 --> 1:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>second service for Kernodle. The two girls got matching tattoos

1:11:03.600 --> 1:11:06.320
<v Speaker 1>to memorialize their four friends, with initials of the victims'

1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>names on their arms along with angel wings. Many people

1:11:09.880 --> 1:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>blame Mortensen for waiting to call nine one one until

1:11:12.640 --> 1:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>the next day, since she saw coburger in the house.

1:11:15.360 --> 1:11:16.479
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know if it would have made

1:11:16.479 --> 1:11:19.000
<v Speaker 1>any difference. I don't think any of them like we're

1:11:19.080 --> 1:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>alive for long, do you know what I mean? Like

1:11:22.640 --> 1:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>if she called nine to one one when she saw

1:11:25.880 --> 1:11:28.280
<v Speaker 1>someone in the house, would that have made a difference

1:11:28.400 --> 1:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>what they have and they have survived.

1:11:30.520 --> 1:11:32.240
<v Speaker 3>I think probably, possibly not.

1:11:32.400 --> 1:11:35.560
<v Speaker 2>But I think it goes back to earlier in our conversation,

1:11:35.720 --> 1:11:38.599
<v Speaker 2>which is that's probably normal response to call the police

1:11:38.680 --> 1:11:42.040
<v Speaker 2>right away, Yeah, instead of checking your LinkedIn account.

1:11:42.400 --> 1:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is a normal response. But then again,

1:11:44.240 --> 1:11:46.479
<v Speaker 1>I've never been in that situation, so I'm trying not

1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to judge, but I just I can't get past not

1:11:50.400 --> 1:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>being able to get a hold of your roommates, hearing

1:11:52.479 --> 1:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>weird noises and seeing a masked man in your house,

1:11:55.360 --> 1:11:57.160
<v Speaker 1>and you don't call nine to one one until the

1:11:57.200 --> 1:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>next day when a friend comes over. And I think

1:11:59.840 --> 1:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>the friend came over and actually went to check on

1:12:01.840 --> 1:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the roommates and found them dead, and that's why they

1:12:04.120 --> 1:12:07.599
<v Speaker 1>finally called nine to one one. I'm confused. That's why

1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking forward to the trial, because I feel like

1:12:09.280 --> 1:12:11.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of good, a better gape, there'll be a

1:12:11.160 --> 1:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>better timeline and better details, and they're clearly going to testify,

1:12:14.400 --> 1:12:15.840
<v Speaker 1>and they're going to talk about what they talked about

1:12:15.840 --> 1:12:17.599
<v Speaker 1>with their parents and what they were doing on social

1:12:17.680 --> 1:12:20.400
<v Speaker 1>media and what their mind was during that time period.

1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:25.719
<v Speaker 1>So to me, that's really interesting. Many some even suspect

1:12:25.760 --> 1:12:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that Mortenson and Funk, that's Bethany and Dylan were involved

1:12:29.640 --> 1:12:31.760
<v Speaker 1>in the murder. That's a lot of people online, you know,

1:12:31.840 --> 1:12:35.599
<v Speaker 1>those online slus like to to learn all this stuff

1:12:35.640 --> 1:12:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and then speculate that maybe the roommates were involved and

1:12:38.200 --> 1:12:40.479
<v Speaker 1>that's why they didn't call nine one one. I personally,

1:12:40.520 --> 1:12:42.559
<v Speaker 1>from reading everything that I've read and going through everything,

1:12:42.600 --> 1:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's the case. I think they just

1:12:45.040 --> 1:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>made bad decisions, and I think maybe they were overly intoxicated,

1:12:49.840 --> 1:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>and maybe that I don't thinkge maybe she questioned what

1:12:53.760 --> 1:12:56.799
<v Speaker 1>she saw and thought I'll sound stupid if I'm.

1:12:56.720 --> 1:12:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Wrong or something. I don't think it sounds I don't

1:12:59.320 --> 1:13:02.479
<v Speaker 2>think it changed. Just really any of the necessary facts

1:13:02.520 --> 1:13:04.479
<v Speaker 2>to determine whether he was guilty or not.

1:13:04.760 --> 1:13:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, do you have any other questions, because we

1:13:07.160 --> 1:13:09.559
<v Speaker 1>have come to the end of the Brian Coburger case

1:13:09.640 --> 1:13:13.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Idaho murders. Again, I'm very interested in the

1:13:13.400 --> 1:13:15.519
<v Speaker 1>trial and hopefully we'll follow along.

1:13:15.800 --> 1:13:18.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, I have a question. Is he in custody? Yes? Okay,

1:13:19.200 --> 1:13:19.599
<v Speaker 3>no bail?

1:13:20.360 --> 1:13:23.320
