WEBVTT - S1: Bonus Ep 2 - Brian Entin Talks True Crime 

0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Before we begin today, I want to say our thoughts

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:08.600
<v Speaker 1>are with everyone in Los Angeles grappling with the devastating wildfires.

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>This episode was recorded before the fires began, but I

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>felt they would not be right to not acknowledge the

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>current events. It's a stark reminder of how fragile life

0:00:19.079 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>can be. Our hearts are with you. This is Sloane

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Glass post of American homicide. In this episode, we're doing

0:00:27.960 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 1>something different. Rather than look back at cases, we're looking ahead.

0:00:32.800 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 1>It's the start of a new year, and we have

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>highlighted three cases we believe will define true crime in

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty five. To discuss the status and implications of

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.400
<v Speaker 1>these cases, I am joined today by Brian Enton. Brian

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>is the senior national correspondent at News Nation. He's a

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:54.200
<v Speaker 1>former colleague of mine and a friend. Brian is an

0:00:54.240 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible journalist and he has personally covered all of these stories.

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>The first is a story that captured the nation's attention

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.560
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the year, the killing of United

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:09.319
<v Speaker 1>Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Luigi Mangioni has been charged in

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>that case and has pled not guilty. Brian and I

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:17.480
<v Speaker 1>discuss what is next for Mangioni. Our second case involves

0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:22.759
<v Speaker 1>the mysterious death of Ellen Greenberg in twenty eleven. Ellen

0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:27.040
<v Speaker 1>was found with twenty stab wounds. Her death was curiously

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>ruled to be a suicide, even though many of those

0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>wounds were in her back. After multiple appeals and legal battles,

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>the Pennsylvania State Supreme Court has agreed to review that

0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>suicide ruling. This year. For our third case, we discussed

0:01:43.520 --> 0:01:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming trial of Brian Coberger, the man accused of

0:01:47.319 --> 0:01:51.800
<v Speaker 1>killing four University of Idaho students in twenty twenty two.

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Brian Enton is an expert on the Coburger case and

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>lets us know what we can expect. Here is my

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>conversation with Brian Brian Entton, thank you for doing this

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>episode of American Homicide with me.

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, thank you so much for having me son. It's

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:08.800
<v Speaker 2>so cool to be here with you.

0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I like to do all my research for true crime

0:02:12.240 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on Reddit, as we all do. Right, That's where I

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:16.799
<v Speaker 1>like to see what are the people saying. It's a

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>vibe check. Almost every story I look up, someone has

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>commented well, according to Brian Anton. According to Brian Anton.

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, and the thing with Reddit and with people on

0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 2>TikTok too, and on x you have people who are

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.440
<v Speaker 2>so interested in the cases and so invested, and they'll

0:02:33.480 --> 0:02:36.760
<v Speaker 2>stay up all night going through public records and finding

0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.680
<v Speaker 2>out things that even I didn't know about family members

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 2>and people connected to the cases, and then they'll send

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 2>me tips. So it's it's like, sometimes I feel like

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.240
<v Speaker 2>I have this little army of people helping me, and

0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you can find really interesting stuff on Reddit you don't

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 2>even see on the news.

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Are you still news daddy? Is that still Yeah?

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 2>That's still a thing, Yeah, news Daddy. And I used

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 2>to be so embarrassed of it. I don't know where

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 2>it came from, And now I'm just like, well, I

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 2>guess it's a you know, it's a thing.

0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:00.799
<v Speaker 3>I guess you.

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Know, there's a comfort level that I think you've been

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 1>able to give to people around really hard stories. Yeah.

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.720
<v Speaker 2>I think that they just feel like what you said,

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 2>that I'm just normal. You try to be professional where

0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 2>journalists you want to, you know, stick to the facts,

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.280
<v Speaker 2>but you'd be lying if you just try to say

0:03:17.320 --> 0:03:19.920
<v Speaker 2>you never got emotional or never felt anger, or never

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>related to some of the family members.

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 3>That kind of thing.

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I always saw that as an advantage. I thought it

0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>was so strange when people to say, well, you have

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:27.760
<v Speaker 1>to leave that at the door, you have to remove

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>yourself from it.

0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Or even that you can't help people, like it's just

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>not who I am. Like, you know, you'll go out

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.600
<v Speaker 2>and you'll meet these families and they might need help

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>with something like hey, do you know someone.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:37.160
<v Speaker 3>Who does this?

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Or you know we're really low on money, right, I

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:42.800
<v Speaker 2>don't know. I just I can't just bet well line

0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.400
<v Speaker 2>is drawn. I'm a journalist. I mean, that's why I

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 2>can't do it.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Everything we do here is trying further in cases, these

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>families deserve that it doesn't just end when everyone else

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>is forgetting and moving on, and they deserve to have

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>those connections and for people to do investigative work to

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.320
<v Speaker 1>try to see if they're something that someone else hasn't

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>picked up on.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I try to be real and like respect the families

0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and what they're going through. And you know, when you're

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of one of these cases, like with Coburger,

0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 2>like before the arrest, you know, when the community is

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.160
<v Speaker 2>so on edge, you just have to remember what people

0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.160
<v Speaker 2>are going through with the families are going through, and

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 2>I try not to take advantage. I mean, it's it's

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>not worth it for the story to be the first.

0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 2>Always I would lose sleep at night if I felt

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 2>like I put someone through more pain than they were

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 2>already going through, you know, like with with Coburger, I

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 2>just remembered this one story. When I went Kayleyanzov was

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>one of the victims. I became pretty close to her

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.919
<v Speaker 2>parents while I was an idahoe and still now, and

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 2>before Brian Coburger was arrested, I was at their house.

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.360
<v Speaker 2>They lived near Quardelaine, which is a couple hours from Moscow, Idaho,

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.040
<v Speaker 2>where the murders happened. And we were doing an interview.

0:04:50.040 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 2>When we were talking and they showed me that Kaylee's

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.920
<v Speaker 2>ashes were next to Maddie's ashes. They had them next

0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.840
<v Speaker 2>to each other. Yeah, because they were friends and they

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.280
<v Speaker 2>just both families like Maddie didn't want parent didn't want

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:07.479
<v Speaker 2>to take the ashes away from Kaylee's house, you know,

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 2>because they that gave them comfort. And so it was

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 2>really like an emotional thing to see. And we shot

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 2>it and it was going to be a really big

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.279
<v Speaker 2>part of our story. And when we left, Kaylee's mom

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>called me and said, we really don't want you to

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>show that part like we thought about it and we

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.440
<v Speaker 2>don't want like people to think that like Maddie's family

0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:28.880
<v Speaker 2>doesn't care about her something, because it was the opposite.

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>That's why they kept you know. And anyway, of course,

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 2>no questions asked, Like I took it out, which I

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:35.719
<v Speaker 2>think other people wouldn't have done that because in the

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:37.839
<v Speaker 2>moment it was it was a really good, you know,

0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 2>exclusive element that no one else had. But like you

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>were saying, when you stay on these cases for so long,

0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not worth upsetting them, And then I would have

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:46.280
<v Speaker 2>felt terrible about it if she asked to take it,

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.960
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean. Like the other crime reporters

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.400
<v Speaker 2>and from the other TV networks and stuff will come in,

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.520
<v Speaker 2>you know how it is. They'll parachute in for a

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.559
<v Speaker 2>couple of days, they'll do some live shots and stories,

0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:57.600
<v Speaker 2>and then they'll leave war with like Coburger and some

0:05:57.640 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 2>of the others. I've just stayed in those places, basically

0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:02.920
<v Speaker 2>moved to Idaho for a couple months and then been

0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:05.760
<v Speaker 2>to pretty much all of the court hearings. So I

0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.560
<v Speaker 2>think people kind of connect with that. They see that

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.039
<v Speaker 2>I stay at these places and get really really invested.

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>You stay in You're real. Yeah, you're not a scavenger

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>in any way. You connect with you I try.

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 2>Someone just yesterday called me a prostitute, which I had

0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>never heard. I've never heard that phrase before. But then

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I ended up because I ended up. Have you ever

0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 2>heard of that before?

0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 3>Too?

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 2>And I ended up becoming friends of the guy, and

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:28.880
<v Speaker 2>like we bonded and he was cool with me after

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:29.359
<v Speaker 2>we talked.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, of course I want to talk more about Coburger

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.720
<v Speaker 1>and everything surrounding that case later.

0:06:34.960 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 3>OK.

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Today I want us to kind of look at and

0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.640
<v Speaker 1>think about the true crime cases that we should keep

0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.120
<v Speaker 1>an eye out for in twenty twenty five. And also

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you are able to explain to everyone what it's been

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.960
<v Speaker 1>like to cover some of these stories in a newsroom

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 1>environment in the field. It's impossible to start this without

0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:00.200
<v Speaker 1>talking about Luigi Mangioni and what has happened in the

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>United Healthcare CEO shooting.

0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Luigi man Jioni is pleaded not guilty to charges in

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:09.480
<v Speaker 4>the cold blooded killing of the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:13.560
<v Speaker 1>This is a story. I've never seen anything like this.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>When the video came out and you had like a

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>prominent CEO shot right there on the street, and it

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 2>was clear that he was targeted. I think the interest

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.320
<v Speaker 2>level was really really high then, even we were covering

0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.360
<v Speaker 2>every single day and people were trying to figure out

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:27.760
<v Speaker 2>who it was.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 3>We got a tip actually.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 2>That the killer might be from Atlanta, so they flew

0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:34.960
<v Speaker 2>me to Atlanta. And this is what people don't realize,

0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 2>Like I was just sort of chilling in Atlanta because

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>we really thought I don't know if you remember that

0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 2>they said that the bus went from Atlanta, and we

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>had some other tips, and we were even talk about Reddit.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:46.280
<v Speaker 2>People were sending me photos of people in the Atlanta

0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>area that looked like the guy in the surveillance video.

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 2>We would go drive by their houses like we were

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:55.880
<v Speaker 2>really investigating the Atlanta area. So I was in Atlanta

0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.520
<v Speaker 2>and then we got the call that they've got a

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 2>person of interest in Pennsylvania. So got the first flight

0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 2>to Pennsylvania. But the newsroom was just was crazy. And

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.480
<v Speaker 2>I think what's interesting is there was so much interest

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 2>in the story even before the arrest. And a lot

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>of times when there's an arrest, like it kind of

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.920
<v Speaker 2>goes down because it's like, Okay, it's been solved, the

0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 2>killer is not on the run anymore. But with this

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 2>it was like the opposite. I mean, it went crazy

0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.920
<v Speaker 2>when it ended up being Luigi Mangioni.

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>He has become a martyr to a lot of people.

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:33.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's like an obsession, and it's interesting. It's almost

0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 2>mainstream in a way. It's not like it's, oh, there's

0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:37.800
<v Speaker 2>this weird, crazy cult and people who aren't showing their

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:41.720
<v Speaker 2>faces doing this. It's like some people that I even know.

0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:43.920
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if it's the same for you who

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.559
<v Speaker 2>have reposted some of these videos. You know, a lot

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.200
<v Speaker 2>of people think he's really attractive, and I think a

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 2>lot of people have had bad experiences with their health

0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:55.160
<v Speaker 2>insurance and this is sort of an outlet for that.

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 3>But it is disturbing.

0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Have you ever seen so many photos come out of

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>someone right away, in terms of they took a photo

0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of him in the jail, they took a photo of

0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>him outside, they took a photo of him like while

0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:06.960
<v Speaker 2>he was sitting in his jail cell that they release.

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.559
<v Speaker 2>I've never seen them an these photos like that. And

0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 2>then when he arrived in New York City, it was

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>literally like a movie. I mean, you've got the mayor

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.120
<v Speaker 2>there and the way they were there that.

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Felt totally unnecessary, That felt like it was slimy. Eric,

0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I agree. I thought that that was a slimy move

0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>from obviously for attention.

0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 2>And why so many body? I mean there were like

0:09:28.240 --> 0:09:31.400
<v Speaker 2>people in swat gear, and I think they were trying

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 2>to make.

0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:32.520
<v Speaker 3>It into a scene.

0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And I think that those guys just wanted to

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>be a part of a big story. They wanted their

0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>photo taken. He looks like an apostle. He looks like

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:46.080
<v Speaker 1>he is being walked right into his crucifixion. Yes, surrounded

0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>by apostles and.

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I saw some videos actually where they made

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 2>him into Jesus. Yeah, and you wonder what he's thinking, right,

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 2>is this the moment he was waiting for, like to

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 2>get this kind of attention.

0:09:56.080 --> 0:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>And then it turns out that the alleged shooter highly educated.

0:10:01.400 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>He's a great speaker. A lot of people think that

0:10:04.520 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>he's very good looking, and he's not in a very

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>apparent way leaning one direction or another in terms of

0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>political parties. And I think that that made the story

0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot more nuanced. Some people were imagining that this

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>was someone who was very liberal, and it does speak

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to the climate that we are in today. And I

0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>think it's there's something about not viewing people one direction

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.559
<v Speaker 1>or another about this story that I think is important.

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think so. And I think when the suspect

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:45.080
<v Speaker 2>name comes out, we start in the newsroom searching. You know,

0:10:45.120 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 2>You've got researchers and people. Everybody's trying to figure out

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:48.240
<v Speaker 2>who this guy is, who.

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 3>The family is.

0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 2>And usually pretty soon you figure out like, oh, there's

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.960
<v Speaker 2>he had this previous criminal charge, or oh something bad

0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 2>happened or something. It was just so weird to everything

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.559
<v Speaker 2>was great about this this guy everything, and we started

0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.840
<v Speaker 2>to I interviewed people very early on that right after

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:06.559
<v Speaker 2>the arrest that went to high school with him. He

0:11:06.600 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 2>went to this prominent boarding school outside Baltimore, forty thousand

0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:12.640
<v Speaker 2>dollars a year, really hard to get into, and he

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.520
<v Speaker 2>was the valedictorian, so he was at the top of

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.000
<v Speaker 2>the class. He was a really really good wrestler, but

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 2>he was like a nice guy. They all said he

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 2>wasn't He wasn't like bullying people. You know how sometimes

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 2>those really cool, popular kids are like jerks.

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:26.520
<v Speaker 3>He wasn't like that.

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.360
<v Speaker 1>It's it's really rare. I was trying to think of.

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>There's other stories, and sometimes people love to say no

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:35.680
<v Speaker 1>one expected no one expected it. But there's always someone.

0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:39.440
<v Speaker 1>There's always some girl who's saying, actually, he was really weird,

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>or someone in their class who says, this person was

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>really off. And we have not heard that at all. No,

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>not in not in it's breaking all the all the

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>molds that I could have expected.

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:51.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:51.440
<v Speaker 5>Not.

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 2>In high school, we interviewed people that he went to

0:11:53.640 --> 0:11:57.080
<v Speaker 2>pen with. You know, we got two engineering degrees there.

0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 2>He got his bachelors and his masters, again described as great.

0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:04.120
<v Speaker 2>He lived in Hawaii for quite some time at like

0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.800
<v Speaker 2>a surfing hostel, and everyone he lived with their said

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the same thing. He was the leader of the book club.

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 2>He was like everybody's best friend.

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.439
<v Speaker 1>Was the reaction on social media? How did that translate

0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in the newsroom? How did they interpret that?

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:23.439
<v Speaker 2>It's interesting. Some of our bosses are so shocked by

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:26.400
<v Speaker 2>the people who love him and these fans that he has.

0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.280
<v Speaker 2>And I think some of the younger people are kind

0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 2>of like understanding of it more as weird as that is,

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.960
<v Speaker 2>and they don't agree with it. But I think I think, like,

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, maybe it's generationals I just think like

0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 2>some of the older people are more shocked by this,

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:43.120
<v Speaker 2>like admiration for him, right.

0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.800
<v Speaker 1>I imagine that it would be a tricky story to cover

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>when you're balancing the reality of what's happening on social

0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:55.640
<v Speaker 1>media and also needing to deliver the facts of the case.

0:12:56.000 --> 0:12:59.040
<v Speaker 2>It is too because you kind of you know, when

0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.440
<v Speaker 2>you're covering someone he used of doing something so horrible,

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:03.800
<v Speaker 2>a lot of times you lean into the bad things

0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 2>about the person because now they've become an accused killer.

0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 2>Whereas with him, I remember, even after a couple of

0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:11.880
<v Speaker 2>my live shots, thinking like I just I feel like

0:13:11.920 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm describing him is so like such a good person,

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 2>you know. But everyone we were interviewing was saying that

0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 2>I didn't interview anyone who said anything bad Bryan.

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:23.600
<v Speaker 1>He is alleged yea. And I think that people forget

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.920
<v Speaker 1>that he is the alleged shooter. So I think you

0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.319
<v Speaker 1>are reporting on him as you're hearing him to.

0:13:30.280 --> 0:13:31.560
<v Speaker 3>Be and I, of course yeah.

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:33.920
<v Speaker 2>But the evidence, I mean, the evidence is pretty overwhelming,

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.640
<v Speaker 2>the manifesto. If the police are telling the truth, he

0:13:36.679 --> 0:13:39.080
<v Speaker 2>had a gun, you got bullets with him.

0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I have so many questions around that, and it makes

0:13:43.080 --> 0:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>me think of all the conspiracy theories that I don't

0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 1>think that they're going to stop anytime soon.

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, there's always so many conspiracy theories with these

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.160
<v Speaker 2>cases now. I think people almost it's like a hobby

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 2>for people to just come up with every crazy possibility

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 2>that they can think of, and then, like you said,

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 2>they posted on Reddit and people talk meant and there's

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:01.800
<v Speaker 2>been so many.

0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:05.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the eyebrows. The eyebrows are the only one

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that I can't I have a hard time connecting the

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 1>dots between him and all the photos that we saw

0:14:10.920 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 1>when they were looking for sus.

0:14:12.120 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't seem like all those photos are actually him.

0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that they were just looking for people with

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>a hoodie right at that point the matchup. But again,

0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 2>if you go back now to the evidence that they have,

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean, it's a pretty good case in terms of

0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.080
<v Speaker 2>he had the same gun on him. Police are telling

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.920
<v Speaker 2>the truth, which why would they be lying the bullets,

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 2>the manifesto, the I D the ID, and I mean

0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:36.640
<v Speaker 2>what he screamed out outside the.

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>Courthouse, he didn't say I'm innocent. So this is not

0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.920
<v Speaker 1>going away anytime soon. It's only good to get bigger.

0:14:51.520 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 2>What's interesting though, Sloan, as we talk about it moving

0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 2>into this year and all the things coming up with

0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.920
<v Speaker 2>the Luigi Mangioni, we are not going to see him

0:14:59.920 --> 0:15:01.840
<v Speaker 2>for while, which is kind of interesting. You know, we

0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.200
<v Speaker 2>saw the crazy purp walks and all the photos and video,

0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.560
<v Speaker 2>but now that it's federal, you know, there's no cameras

0:15:06.560 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 2>allowed in federal court.

0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:09.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you think of the federal charges.

0:15:09.960 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 2>I was surprised. I wasn't expecting it. I think a

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:15.920
<v Speaker 2>lot of people think that he was overcharged just because

0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.640
<v Speaker 2>of all the attention on the case. But when you

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:20.840
<v Speaker 2>read the charges, I mean, it does make sense. I

0:15:20.840 --> 0:15:22.640
<v Speaker 2>mean it brings the death penalty on the table, which

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.120
<v Speaker 2>is interesting because you know, if they were just state

0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:27.360
<v Speaker 2>charges in New York, you know, there's no death penalty.

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Right now there is, Yeah, I saw yesterday, I believe

0:15:32.080 --> 0:15:36.080
<v Speaker 1>this was on NBC. They're saying that there's been very

0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:41.480
<v Speaker 1>few federal death penalty cases. It's where that has Yeah,

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I think this is seventeen since the nineteen seventies. It's

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:51.800
<v Speaker 1>very Rareteen were under Trump. So I am curious to

0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 1>see how that can shape things. He's facing charges in

0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:00.280
<v Speaker 1>New York state and then also federally, I think the

0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.160
<v Speaker 1>federal trial is going to happen first.

0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's the way it works.

0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 2>The federal charges come first, then the New York state charges,

0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and then there's charges in Pennsylvania too.

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>Remember he showed a fact ID they were less serious.

0:16:11.440 --> 0:16:14.200
<v Speaker 1>But we don't know when the trial will be and

0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I think in twenty twenty five we are going to

0:16:16.360 --> 0:16:17.800
<v Speaker 1>continue to hear more.

0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 2>And another random weird fact to keep an eye on

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 2>this year is his attorney is married to Ditty's attorney.

0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:29.680
<v Speaker 3>Yes, and Luigi.

0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.360
<v Speaker 2>Mangioni and Ditty are in the same federal prison in

0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 2>New York City, and likely in the same wing because

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 2>they have a wing where they put more high profile people.

0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 2>So it's just kind of strange to think about it.

0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh weird, yeah, isn't it.

0:16:42.880 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>It's so weird too because a month ago, no one

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 1>knew his name, and now we're talking about how crazy

0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.760
<v Speaker 1>it is that someone that high profile would be jailed

0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:55.960
<v Speaker 1>in the same area as Diddy.

0:16:56.760 --> 0:16:57.160
<v Speaker 3>It's weird.

0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>I always say, wilds.

0:16:58.400 --> 0:16:59.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you think about this when you're

0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 2>covering case, like in the beginning, like when the name

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.840
<v Speaker 2>first comes out. I always have a hard time remembering it,

0:17:03.920 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 2>like Luigi MANGIONI, how am I going to remember that?

0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:07.800
<v Speaker 2>And now it's just like we say it like it's

0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:08.200
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:26.479
<v Speaker 1>Yes, totally. I want to also talk to you about

0:17:26.520 --> 0:17:31.800
<v Speaker 1>our next case, Ellen Greenberg. Ellen Greenberg's death happened. You

0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:34.959
<v Speaker 1>probably don't know this so close where our office is,

0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean less than less than a mile.

0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.879
<v Speaker 5>Ellen Greenberg's body was found in the kitchen of her

0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 5>apartment during a blizzard in late January of twenty eleven.

0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:45.440
<v Speaker 3>Port Record show.

0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 5>Ellen's fiance was at the gym and returned to find

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 5>their Matty uncle apartment door dead bolted. After an hour

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 5>of trying to reach our record show, he broke down

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 5>the door to find Ellen slumped in the kitchen.

0:17:57.560 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 4>She had been stabbed twenty times. Philodopia medical examiner originally

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.359
<v Speaker 4>ruled her matter of death a suicide, then changed it

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.760
<v Speaker 4>to homicide before switching it back to suicide.

0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:10.639
<v Speaker 5>Since then, her parents have been fighting to get this

0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:11.719
<v Speaker 5>case reopened.

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Ellen Greenberg was found dead in twenty eleven. She was

0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:19.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven years old. She was a school teacher in Philadelphia.

0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And we're not going to be able to get into

0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 1>all the details of these cases because of the time

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:27.920
<v Speaker 1>that we have. But her fiance at the time says

0:18:28.000 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 1>that the door to their apartment was locked. Eventually he

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:35.159
<v Speaker 1>has to kind of break down the door. According to

0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:40.639
<v Speaker 1>her fiance Sam, he sees her unconscious, she's covered in blood,

0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:44.359
<v Speaker 1>and then he calls nine on one. He is telling

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>the nine on one operator that he has no idea

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.760
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. They asked him to perform CPR, kind

0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:56.040
<v Speaker 1>of hesitates. He hesitates that bothers me very strange. Nine

0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>one one call, very strange. We'll play the niem on

0:18:59.000 --> 0:18:59.600
<v Speaker 1>one phone call.

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:02.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So get a plan on her bank for her

0:19:02.320 --> 0:19:04.040
<v Speaker 4>chest anyone we're sure at all.

0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Steel down by her side.

0:19:08.320 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh listen, you can't freak out.

0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:17.040
<v Speaker 5>Her shirt won't come off with the zipper.

0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:21.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh she failed herself. Where she's fell all night?

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 5>Well?

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.000
<v Speaker 1>No, her nice checking out.

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:24.639
<v Speaker 5>What it is?

0:19:24.680 --> 0:19:25.800
<v Speaker 1>A nice chicking out of her?

0:19:27.119 --> 0:19:28.080
<v Speaker 2>She stand herself.

0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:29.280
<v Speaker 3>I guess.

0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:30.560
<v Speaker 4>So I don't know where she's fell on it.

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't like getting into the habit of over analyzing

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:36.199
<v Speaker 1>nine on one phone calls because I don't want to.

0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Who knows how people will react?

0:19:38.960 --> 0:19:39.360
<v Speaker 3>Very fair.

0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.440
<v Speaker 2>First of all, this case It makes me mad that

0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that it's gone on this long and that this has

0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 2>been classified as a suicide. I actually saw the the

0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.479
<v Speaker 2>phot the real crime scene photos, which haven't been made public,

0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 2>but Ellen Greenberg's family lawyer showed them to me. And

0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:01.360
<v Speaker 2>she's sitting in her kitchen when he, you know, the

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 2>police got photos of the way she was sitting. She's

0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>up against the cabinets, and there's just this giant like

0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:09.959
<v Speaker 2>seven inch steak knife just right in her heart. And

0:20:10.000 --> 0:20:12.240
<v Speaker 2>it's I forget how long under the call, but it's

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.720
<v Speaker 2>quite a ways into this call that oh, my gosh,

0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:15.720
<v Speaker 2>there's a knife.

0:20:16.040 --> 0:20:18.960
<v Speaker 1>So she stabbed herself or she fell on her knife,

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>so says she fell on.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:23.600
<v Speaker 2>Her If you saw these pictures alone, and I wouldn't

0:20:23.600 --> 0:20:25.920
<v Speaker 2>want anyone to see because they're awful, but I wanted

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to see them for this reason. There is no way

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 2>you would miss this knife. There is no way not

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:34.640
<v Speaker 2>to mention she was stabbed twenty times in the front

0:20:34.960 --> 0:20:39.719
<v Speaker 2>and in the back. And there's been medical experts, pathologists

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:41.760
<v Speaker 2>who have gone and looked at the records and even

0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 2>examined her spinal cord. She was stabbed in her spinal cord,

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 2>which would have made her like she wouldn't have been

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:48.120
<v Speaker 2>able to keep stabbing herself.

0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:53.520
<v Speaker 1>It feels like a joke to call it suicide. It's unbelievable.

0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And what happened originally was the medical examiner ruled it

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.480
<v Speaker 1>a homicide homicide, yeah, and then there's this meeting with

0:21:02.760 --> 0:21:08.720
<v Speaker 1>Philadelphia police and it gets changed to suicide.

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which has never made sense. And you mentioned the

0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:14.480
<v Speaker 2>fiance is named Sam Goldberg. I mean, look, he has

0:21:14.520 --> 0:21:18.120
<v Speaker 2>never been charged of anything. Who knows if he's involved

0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:22.439
<v Speaker 2>or what. But it's not a suicide. It's just not sloan.

0:21:22.800 --> 0:21:25.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I've looked at everything. I've looked at the record.

0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:30.840
<v Speaker 2>It's impossible for this woman to have killed herself. Yeah,

0:21:31.000 --> 0:21:33.359
<v Speaker 2>stabbed herself twenty times and in the spinal cord.

0:21:33.680 --> 0:21:35.840
<v Speaker 1>It's so strange to me for your mind to go

0:21:35.920 --> 0:21:39.800
<v Speaker 1>to suicide. And again I'm projecting. I have not been

0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>in this situation. I don't know what it's like to

0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:43.440
<v Speaker 1>be in shock. But if I walked into my apartment

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and I saw my fiance on the floor covered in

0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:52.280
<v Speaker 1>blood with a knife in their chest, and he says

0:21:52.400 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 1>on the nine on one call, no, no one broke in.

0:21:55.800 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>How can you know that right away. I mean, my

0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:00.639
<v Speaker 1>mind would go to so many other places. I feel

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:05.880
<v Speaker 1>really bothered by and maybe this is part of twenty eleven,

0:22:06.200 --> 0:22:10.200
<v Speaker 1>just because she was on prescribe medication, that this was

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.600
<v Speaker 1>seen as someone who was mentally ill.

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 2>I mean, listen, they thought it was a homicide at first, right,

0:22:15.880 --> 0:22:17.880
<v Speaker 2>they called it a crime scene. You mentioned the blizzard.

0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:21.199
<v Speaker 2>I think that's important because I don't think like as

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.280
<v Speaker 2>many police officers were able to get out there and

0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:29.040
<v Speaker 2>detectives initially, but they called it a homicide. Police met

0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:31.679
<v Speaker 2>with a medical examiner. It got changed to suicide. But

0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:34.680
<v Speaker 2>even since then, the medical examiner has said has considered

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 2>changing it back to homicide, and at one point even

0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:40.520
<v Speaker 2>told one of the prosecutors, I intend to change it

0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:43.639
<v Speaker 2>back to homicide. I agree, but for some reason, it's

0:22:43.720 --> 0:22:46.159
<v Speaker 2>just never happened, right, and no one will say why.

0:22:46.320 --> 0:22:47.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean, she was a school teacher, she was a

0:22:47.920 --> 0:22:51.959
<v Speaker 2>wonderful woman, but it was just little things. You remember.

0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 2>One of the friends told me like she was obsessed

0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:56.880
<v Speaker 2>with her hair. Ellen, she was really into her hair,

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 2>and they're like, if she was going to kill herself

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:01.359
<v Speaker 2>when she never there is no way she would have

0:23:01.400 --> 0:23:03.040
<v Speaker 2>stabbed because it was all in the back of the head,

0:23:03.040 --> 0:23:03.520
<v Speaker 2>in the hair.

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.320
<v Speaker 3>They're like, she would have never done that.

0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah to her hair, which they're just like, as her

0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:10.119
<v Speaker 2>best friend, and I just know that that's not the

0:23:10.119 --> 0:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>way she would have done it.

0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>I always think about with the snow, her family couldn't

0:23:14.640 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>get out right away to be with her. You've spent

0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:20.600
<v Speaker 1>time with them, right, what was that like?

0:23:22.000 --> 0:23:22.320
<v Speaker 3>Hard?

0:23:22.640 --> 0:23:25.359
<v Speaker 2>They've been fighting for so long. They've spent almost a

0:23:25.400 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 2>million dollars of their own money for lawyer fees, just fighting, fighting, fighting.

0:23:30.840 --> 0:23:35.919
<v Speaker 2>They're suing the city now, they're suing police, trying to

0:23:36.200 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 2>claim that there's a cover up, and just fighting to

0:23:38.840 --> 0:23:41.040
<v Speaker 2>try to get the case reopened. And everybody, you know,

0:23:41.119 --> 0:23:43.800
<v Speaker 2>they hire all of these experts and pathologists who all

0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.240
<v Speaker 2>say the same thing, there's no way it could be

0:23:46.280 --> 0:23:49.000
<v Speaker 2>a suicide. But for some reason, the city of Philadelphia

0:23:50.280 --> 0:23:51.399
<v Speaker 2>just has dug their heels.

0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:53.480
<v Speaker 1>In Pennsylvania is part of the reason why people are

0:23:53.720 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about the story again because of Joshapiro. He's the

0:23:55.960 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>governor of Pennsylvania, seen as potentially a possible VP pick

0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:06.200
<v Speaker 1>for the Democratic Party, but he was attorney general, right

0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and they turned it over to him, and he kept

0:24:10.160 --> 0:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>the ruling status quo.

0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and that's always been very upsetting to the family

0:24:15.640 --> 0:24:17.359
<v Speaker 2>and I was even there. So there's two things that

0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.840
<v Speaker 2>are ongoing now with this case. One is they're suing

0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 2>the city in Philadelphia police and there was a hearing.

0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I was just at was so weird to be in

0:24:24.840 --> 0:24:28.800
<v Speaker 2>the courtroom because they hear there's Allen's parents and they

0:24:28.840 --> 0:24:31.760
<v Speaker 2>have their lawyer and the little legal team, and then

0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 2>on the other side of the room is just like

0:24:32.920 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 2>all these lawyers of the City of Philadelphia, like they're

0:24:34.920 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 2>fighting the City of Philadelphia. The City of Philadelphia does

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:41.479
<v Speaker 2>not want like to release records. I don't. I mean,

0:24:41.520 --> 0:24:44.360
<v Speaker 2>their lawyer thinks that maybe it was just a botched

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 2>investigation and now they're just trying to cover it up. Really,

0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:49.000
<v Speaker 2>the only thing they can do at this point to

0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:51.520
<v Speaker 2>sue them for their pain and suffering and saying you've

0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 2>caused all this pain and suffering by covering this up

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:57.040
<v Speaker 2>for so long. But then they're also taking this to

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:59.640
<v Speaker 2>the Supreme Court in Pennsylvania, which is a really big deal.

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 2>It almost never happens. The Supreme Court took the case,

0:25:02.920 --> 0:25:05.639
<v Speaker 2>which is huge, and so they're going to hear it

0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:10.080
<v Speaker 2>in the beginning of this year, and that's going to

0:25:10.080 --> 0:25:12.240
<v Speaker 2>be a really big deal because the Supreme Court is

0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:15.119
<v Speaker 2>going to have to decide whether or not Ellen's parents

0:25:15.119 --> 0:25:17.639
<v Speaker 2>have the right to challenge the cause of death.

0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Initially, they said that there was no sign of struggle,

0:25:20.600 --> 0:25:24.440
<v Speaker 1>which was part of the decision to keep the cause

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of death as suicide.

0:25:25.840 --> 0:25:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Right, and they just didn't think there was a way,

0:25:27.400 --> 0:25:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you know, I think the part was on the third

0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 2>or fourth floor and then the door was locked, they said,

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:33.960
<v Speaker 2>so they thought there was no way for anyone to

0:25:33.960 --> 0:25:36.119
<v Speaker 2>have even gotten into the killer.

0:25:37.200 --> 0:25:39.720
<v Speaker 1>But she did have bruises on her body.

0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:41.280
<v Speaker 3>I see, I saw the pictures. She did have a

0:25:41.320 --> 0:25:42.000
<v Speaker 3>lot of bruises.

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:45.159
<v Speaker 2>There's something that there's no sign of struggleslow and this

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.120
<v Speaker 2>is just one of those there's something we don't know.

0:25:48.200 --> 0:25:48.959
<v Speaker 3>There's a reason.

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Again, was it just shoddy police work in the beginning

0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.199
<v Speaker 2>and then they were trying to cover up for the

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:55.680
<v Speaker 2>one before that one? But you know what I mean?

0:25:56.320 --> 0:25:58.280
<v Speaker 2>Or is there something more going on where they trying

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:02.280
<v Speaker 2>to protect someone. I don't know, but there's no question

0:26:02.560 --> 0:26:06.439
<v Speaker 2>that it is not a suicide and that this family

0:26:06.480 --> 0:26:08.440
<v Speaker 2>has just I mean, there's just been an injustice.

0:26:08.800 --> 0:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>What do you say to them when you're with her parents.

0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 2>I promise them that I won't stop covering it, and

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:21.520
<v Speaker 2>that's all you really can do. I mean, that will

0:26:21.560 --> 0:26:24.040
<v Speaker 2>stay on it, that will we won't give up. We'll

0:26:24.119 --> 0:26:26.800
<v Speaker 2>keep doing the stories. Yeah, and I think that gives

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:33.240
<v Speaker 2>them some Yeah, they've been abandoned by the police and

0:26:33.520 --> 0:26:34.480
<v Speaker 2>people for so long.

0:26:34.560 --> 0:26:34.760
<v Speaker 5>You know.

0:26:35.320 --> 0:26:37.800
<v Speaker 1>Ellen Greenberg is a case that in twenty twenty five,

0:26:38.480 --> 0:26:41.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm hopeful that there will be some movement forward.

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:46.480
<v Speaker 2>Even though this is happened in twenty eleven, I hope

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:47.520
<v Speaker 2>they still get justice.

0:26:47.920 --> 0:27:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, truly, I want to talk to you about Brian Coworker.

0:27:04.520 --> 0:27:08.240
<v Speaker 1>We're having a trial this year in August. Can you

0:27:08.320 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>just set up for everyone what happened?

0:27:10.760 --> 0:27:14.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So basically, you know, these four University of Idaho

0:27:14.720 --> 0:27:19.920
<v Speaker 2>students were asleep in their beds in Moscow, Idaho, and

0:27:20.560 --> 0:27:25.760
<v Speaker 2>they were just savagely stabbed to death in the night,

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:28.840
<v Speaker 2>and there was a massive man hunt. No one knew

0:27:28.880 --> 0:27:31.439
<v Speaker 2>who did it. You know, the country was really just

0:27:31.960 --> 0:27:36.600
<v Speaker 2>perplexed and into this story. And then Brian Coburger was arrested.

0:27:36.640 --> 0:27:41.560
<v Speaker 2>He was getting his PhD in criminology at Washington State

0:27:41.560 --> 0:27:43.919
<v Speaker 2>which isn't far from University of Idaho where this happened.

0:27:43.960 --> 0:27:47.399
<v Speaker 2>Probably about twenty minutes he was arrested, and it's just

0:27:47.400 --> 0:27:48.879
<v Speaker 2>sort of dragged on for a couple of years in

0:27:48.960 --> 0:27:51.800
<v Speaker 2>terms of the court process, and now there will finally

0:27:51.800 --> 0:27:52.719
<v Speaker 2>be a trial in August.

0:27:53.119 --> 0:27:55.239
<v Speaker 1>I want you to tell the story about when you

0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:59.240
<v Speaker 1>first got a tip about coworker. Yeah, I'm just used

0:27:59.280 --> 0:27:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to tell that a lot.

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 2>No, No, there's just so there's so much with Coburger.

0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:05.480
<v Speaker 2>It was like my life for yeah, it's still lives.

0:28:05.640 --> 0:28:09.080
<v Speaker 1>But because you you lived there, you moved there. What

0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:12.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like to be embedded in a story like that,

0:28:12.800 --> 0:28:13.240
<v Speaker 1>You just.

0:28:13.160 --> 0:28:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Become obsessed, especially because you know there was no arrest

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:20.080
<v Speaker 2>for so long, and there was I mean again, I

0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 2>became close to the families. These were just innocent kids,

0:28:22.640 --> 0:28:26.960
<v Speaker 2>innocent college kids, and you know, just I became obsessed

0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:29.919
<v Speaker 2>with trying to figure out what happened. And we mentioned

0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:32.000
<v Speaker 2>like the army of people online, like you know, the

0:28:32.040 --> 0:28:34.480
<v Speaker 2>whole country and world was like obsessed with it. So

0:28:34.480 --> 0:28:38.360
<v Speaker 2>it was really an intense time. And uh, I got

0:28:38.400 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 2>this tip. And I don't want to like give away

0:28:40.800 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 2>too much because I don't want to give away any

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:46.360
<v Speaker 2>sources or anything. But I got this tip to come

0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 2>to Pennsylvania because there had been an arrest and it

0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:54.520
<v Speaker 2>was it was from someone that worked within the jail system.

0:28:55.040 --> 0:28:57.040
<v Speaker 2>And that's what's so interesting, Like, you know a lot

0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:59.720
<v Speaker 2>of people have like these high up law enforcement sources,

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:01.600
<v Speaker 2>and I have some of them, you know, But for me,

0:29:02.160 --> 0:29:04.040
<v Speaker 2>like the people who always come through for me are

0:29:04.160 --> 0:29:06.840
<v Speaker 2>just like regular people that I've met on social media

0:29:07.800 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 2>who know someone or they just contact me directly, and

0:29:10.280 --> 0:29:12.080
<v Speaker 2>that's kind of what happened in this situation. And they

0:29:12.080 --> 0:29:15.840
<v Speaker 2>were just like, you need to get to Pennsylvania right away,

0:29:16.000 --> 0:29:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, it was just a random message on

0:29:19.040 --> 0:29:19.520
<v Speaker 2>social media.

0:29:19.560 --> 0:29:23.120
<v Speaker 1>So I said, what's your friend is you got a DM?

0:29:23.560 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 3>DM?

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, And I talked to the person and got on

0:29:27.520 --> 0:29:29.600
<v Speaker 2>the plane and that's how we were the first ones

0:29:29.640 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 2>to break it.

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:31.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:29:31.120 --> 0:29:33.200
<v Speaker 1>I remember on the other side things being in the

0:29:33.240 --> 0:29:36.840
<v Speaker 1>newsroom and hearing and did it's being sent to Pennsylvania.

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, why is it? You can't pull him because

0:29:40.440 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 1>none of us knew right away why exactly you were

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.280
<v Speaker 1>going to Pennsylvania.

0:29:44.400 --> 0:29:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:29:44.600 --> 0:29:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I remember telling my boss like I think I need

0:29:46.560 --> 0:29:50.800
<v Speaker 2>to go to Pennsylvania. I'm not positive, but I have

0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:53.200
<v Speaker 2>a really strong feeling that this is going to be it.

0:29:54.040 --> 0:29:56.880
<v Speaker 2>So we went and then the you know, the arrest happened,

0:29:57.000 --> 0:29:58.640
<v Speaker 2>or the arrest had already happened, but it came out

0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:02.600
<v Speaker 2>that he was locked up, and it was just it

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 2>was crazy. I went out to their house, to his

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 2>parents house where he was arrested. It's kind of another

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:10.600
<v Speaker 2>crazy story, kind of to like sneak into the gated

0:30:10.600 --> 0:30:13.480
<v Speaker 2>community there because they lived in a gated community, which

0:30:13.480 --> 0:30:15.200
<v Speaker 2>again is just kind of my style. Like every you know,

0:30:15.240 --> 0:30:17.440
<v Speaker 2>all the other reporters are outside, Like, can someone get

0:30:17.440 --> 0:30:18.600
<v Speaker 2>me into the gated community?

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:19.720
<v Speaker 1>How did you sneak in?

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:20.720
<v Speaker 3>Again?

0:30:20.960 --> 0:30:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Someone messaged me on x Twitter at the time and said, oh,

0:30:24.520 --> 0:30:28.160
<v Speaker 2>I live in the neighborhood. Just FYI Like I'm and

0:30:28.200 --> 0:30:29.880
<v Speaker 2>I just I wrote her back, I'm like, can you

0:30:30.200 --> 0:30:31.680
<v Speaker 2>take me in? Like can we meet at the gas

0:30:31.720 --> 0:30:34.400
<v Speaker 2>station down the street. And so she met me. I

0:30:34.400 --> 0:30:35.960
<v Speaker 2>got in her car and she drove me in and

0:30:36.000 --> 0:30:38.520
<v Speaker 2>took me to their house and like the front window

0:30:38.600 --> 0:30:41.000
<v Speaker 2>was all bashed because you know, the police had busted inside.

0:30:41.800 --> 0:30:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:30:42.360 --> 0:30:44.160
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so I videoed.

0:30:44.520 --> 0:30:46.280
<v Speaker 2>And there's been a few times I've done things when

0:30:46.280 --> 0:30:48.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe I went a little too far. This might have

0:30:48.280 --> 0:30:49.320
<v Speaker 2>been one of those times.

0:30:49.520 --> 0:30:50.240
<v Speaker 3>It was so dark.

0:30:50.280 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 2>I went up to their door and like knocked on

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 2>the door and videoed and they were inside like saying leave, leave.

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 2>And some people got mad at me for that because

0:30:58.000 --> 0:30:59.920
<v Speaker 2>people felt for his parents. You know, it wasn't there

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 2>fault and I was banging on their door like in

0:31:02.640 --> 0:31:04.960
<v Speaker 2>the middle of the night. But you know, it's like

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:06.320
<v Speaker 2>you kind of have to do it. You never know,

0:31:06.320 --> 0:31:08.560
<v Speaker 2>people want to talk to sometimes.

0:31:08.320 --> 0:31:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Right, that is the thing. Sometimes people want to answer

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the door. It happens a lot. Yeah, it's really unbelievable, Brian.

0:31:15.640 --> 0:31:18.959
<v Speaker 1>And then you're it's not like it ends for you there.

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:22.080
<v Speaker 1>You're just embedded in the story.

0:31:22.400 --> 0:31:22.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:31:22.680 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 2>I mean we followed him back to you know, they

0:31:24.840 --> 0:31:27.360
<v Speaker 2>transported him back to Idaho, and I, like I said,

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.400
<v Speaker 2>I go to most of the court hearings. It's interesting

0:31:30.400 --> 0:31:31.400
<v Speaker 2>the trial has been moved.

0:31:31.480 --> 0:31:31.640
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 2>It was it was in Moscow, Idaho, which is just

0:31:33.760 --> 0:31:37.880
<v Speaker 2>this little baby college town, little small courthouse, uh, And

0:31:38.080 --> 0:31:39.440
<v Speaker 2>they were worried they wouldn't be able to get a

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.000
<v Speaker 2>fair jury there. So it's been moved to Boise, which

0:31:42.040 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 2>is a you know bigger city, and so that's where

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 2>the trial will be in August and Boise Wow, which

0:31:48.560 --> 0:31:50.920
<v Speaker 2>is hard for the families. They have to travel there.

0:31:50.960 --> 0:31:52.880
<v Speaker 2>It's probably going to take two months the trial.

0:31:53.080 --> 0:31:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm so curious what his defense is going to say.

0:31:57.120 --> 0:31:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be a crazy trial because

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:02.080
<v Speaker 2>there's been a gag orders. So we know the basics

0:32:02.120 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 2>from the probable cause affidavit that came out when they

0:32:04.400 --> 0:32:07.520
<v Speaker 2>arrested him, but there are all sorts of questions about

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 2>whether he knew the victims and what led up to

0:32:10.680 --> 0:32:13.640
<v Speaker 2>the murders, and like all of that stuff has remained

0:32:13.720 --> 0:32:15.080
<v Speaker 2>under seal, right.

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:18.080
<v Speaker 1>And I just want to give more background for people.

0:32:18.400 --> 0:32:23.600
<v Speaker 1>So there's no clear connection, no direct clear connection between

0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Coburger and the.

0:32:24.520 --> 0:32:25.760
<v Speaker 2>Victim, not that we know of.

0:32:25.880 --> 0:32:29.560
<v Speaker 1>No, And what's believed at this time is that he

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 1>was possibly stalking.

0:32:31.000 --> 0:32:33.680
<v Speaker 3>Them, possibly yeah, and stocking.

0:32:33.760 --> 0:32:35.640
<v Speaker 1>We don't know why, why them.

0:32:35.800 --> 0:32:38.520
<v Speaker 2>One theory is, you know, he and I've reported this

0:32:38.560 --> 0:32:40.720
<v Speaker 2>and interviewed people, you know, he had a rough time

0:32:40.760 --> 0:32:44.400
<v Speaker 2>with women, rejection at times, and then he was really

0:32:44.440 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>awful to some women and even got kicked out of

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:49.920
<v Speaker 2>a bar once because he was just awful to this

0:32:49.960 --> 0:32:52.880
<v Speaker 2>one female bartender. So there's one theory that you know,

0:32:52.920 --> 0:32:55.840
<v Speaker 2>he just had this like hatred for women from rejection, right.

0:32:56.200 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 2>But then there's also he was getting his PhD in criminology.

0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:01.920
<v Speaker 2>He had done a survey about what it felt like

0:33:02.040 --> 0:33:05.040
<v Speaker 2>for people when they committed crimes. So some people think

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 2>he was trying to get into the mind.

0:33:07.760 --> 0:33:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Of I don't buy that. Maybe when he was doing

0:33:10.600 --> 0:33:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the survey, he was trying to get into the mind

0:33:12.280 --> 0:33:14.640
<v Speaker 1>of a killer. I don't think that's the reason why

0:33:15.200 --> 0:33:17.479
<v Speaker 1>he killed. I don't think he was living out some

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:21.520
<v Speaker 1>fantasy of the perfect crime. To me, that just feels

0:33:21.560 --> 0:33:25.160
<v Speaker 1>like too much of a game. It feels personal. I

0:33:25.240 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>just don't know what the connection is between him and

0:33:28.360 --> 0:33:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the victims. And you can see from his phone records

0:33:31.280 --> 0:33:34.200
<v Speaker 1>you kept driving by their place.

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:35.720
<v Speaker 3>That's what the prosecution says.

0:33:35.760 --> 0:33:37.840
<v Speaker 2>The defense has said, oh, you know, it was pinging

0:33:37.880 --> 0:33:39.200
<v Speaker 2>in that area because he liked to go.

0:33:39.120 --> 0:33:40.520
<v Speaker 3>On drives and stargaze.

0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:42.720
<v Speaker 2>So that's one thing that's come out that could be

0:33:42.760 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 2>the defense interesting. It's going to be interesting because they

0:33:46.000 --> 0:33:48.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, they found the knife sheath in the house.

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:52.200
<v Speaker 2>That was the big connection. He allegedly left the knife

0:33:52.240 --> 0:33:54.320
<v Speaker 2>sheath behind and then they found a piece of DNA

0:33:54.400 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 2>on the knife sheath that connected back to him. But

0:33:57.840 --> 0:34:00.760
<v Speaker 2>the way they did the DNA testing is like really

0:34:00.800 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 2>experimental these days. The defense says it's called investigative genetic genealogy,

0:34:06.360 --> 0:34:08.880
<v Speaker 2>and basically they got the piece of DNA off the

0:34:08.960 --> 0:34:11.960
<v Speaker 2>knife sheath and then like you know, like twenty three

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:14.240
<v Speaker 2>and meters and you can hear those things. They used

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:17.640
<v Speaker 2>that database to try to figure out who the DNA

0:34:17.719 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 2>belonged to.

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Which hasn't been like the Golden State Killer.

0:34:19.960 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>Which it hasn't been done a lot though, And I

0:34:22.440 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 2>can already tell that the defense that's going to be

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:26.799
<v Speaker 2>something they really go after, like the science of that

0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:28.080
<v Speaker 2>and how accurate it is.

0:34:28.480 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 3>But there's a lot. I think there's a lot.

0:34:29.800 --> 0:34:31.920
<v Speaker 2>We don't know. The prosecution might have a lot that

0:34:31.960 --> 0:34:35.719
<v Speaker 2>we don't know, right because of Again, well that's why

0:34:35.760 --> 0:34:37.239
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be a really interesting trial.

0:34:37.280 --> 0:34:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I think it's going to be one of those trials

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:41.439
<v Speaker 2>where there's just a ton of new information comes out.

0:34:41.680 --> 0:34:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree. I also think he just has a

0:34:44.360 --> 0:34:48.720
<v Speaker 1>certain look about him that he is so haunting.

0:34:49.640 --> 0:34:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he's intense, intense. I mean I've been in the

0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:53.839
<v Speaker 2>same room as a lot of times for you know.

0:34:53.800 --> 0:34:54.440
<v Speaker 3>For these years.

0:34:54.480 --> 0:34:59.320
<v Speaker 2>That's like it's awkward, especially when it was in Moscow,

0:34:59.520 --> 0:35:02.120
<v Speaker 2>Idahope before it recently got moved to Boise, so the

0:35:02.160 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 2>families would come in for the big hearings and he

0:35:04.920 --> 0:35:08.440
<v Speaker 2>sits so close to them, I mean, because it's just awkward.

0:35:08.840 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:35:09.360 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 2>It's like the one one victim Kaylee, her sister came

0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:15.280
<v Speaker 2>to one of the hearings and had had a baby,

0:35:16.640 --> 0:35:19.080
<v Speaker 2>and so she brought her baby to the hearing and

0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.960
<v Speaker 2>the baby was like I don't know, I always think

0:35:21.000 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 2>back to this, it's like one of those moments I

0:35:22.560 --> 0:35:25.720
<v Speaker 2>won't forget. The baby was like kind of cooing during

0:35:25.760 --> 0:35:29.720
<v Speaker 2>the hearing, but like Brian Coberger was so close to them,

0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.080
<v Speaker 2>like you know, just right over it, right, you know,

0:35:32.160 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 2>maybe ten feet away, and it was just so weird,

0:35:34.600 --> 0:35:37.600
<v Speaker 2>like here's the guy accused of killing your sister and

0:35:37.640 --> 0:35:40.840
<v Speaker 2>you're sitting right here with your new baby, all in

0:35:40.880 --> 0:35:43.839
<v Speaker 2>the same little room together. Just like you know, at

0:35:43.840 --> 0:35:46.560
<v Speaker 2>certain moments, you're just like this is really intense.

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, this is it's become some sort of generational yeah,

0:35:52.120 --> 0:35:54.919
<v Speaker 1>weird cosmic and I don't think cosmic in a carmel way,

0:35:55.080 --> 0:35:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean cosmic and how did we end up here?

0:35:57.320 --> 0:35:59.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and families want to and I get it. I

0:36:00.080 --> 0:36:02.520
<v Speaker 2>mean I luckily I haven't had anyone in my family

0:36:02.520 --> 0:36:05.640
<v Speaker 2>get killed or anything. But you know, there's a real

0:36:05.680 --> 0:36:08.600
<v Speaker 2>desire to go to these court hearings and to be

0:36:08.760 --> 0:36:10.360
<v Speaker 2>there and show face.

0:36:11.480 --> 0:36:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it makes sense also, I think it. I mean

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the advice that families get is that being seen goes

0:36:18.600 --> 0:36:21.800
<v Speaker 1>a long way and helps the judge and the jury

0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to understand the more. That's part of the whole judicial

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:27.680
<v Speaker 1>system that's so awful kind of the spectacle.

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:29.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but it's true.

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:31.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean if you if you're the judge and you

0:36:31.320 --> 0:36:34.760
<v Speaker 2>see the family member sitting right there crying, you probably

0:36:34.800 --> 0:36:38.120
<v Speaker 2>are going to think to yourself, look what this person

0:36:38.160 --> 0:36:40.160
<v Speaker 2>may have done to this thing. You know, of course

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 2>you make your decisions.

0:36:41.480 --> 0:36:44.160
<v Speaker 1>They're a human being, you know, a judge is not

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:49.560
<v Speaker 1>a computer. It's it's wild, Brian. I know that we're

0:36:49.560 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>all going to be watching you coank trial, and I'm

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:56.280
<v Speaker 1>just so grateful that you joined us today. Of course,

0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:58.400
<v Speaker 1>thank you for helping us to kind of get a

0:36:58.400 --> 0:37:01.080
<v Speaker 1>sense and understand the worries that we can look out

0:37:01.120 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>for and also just revealing more behind the scenes of

0:37:04.239 --> 0:37:05.560
<v Speaker 1>your life and what it's been like.

0:37:05.719 --> 0:37:06.840
