WEBVTT - Convicted Idaho Murderer Brian Kohberger Meticulously Researched Serial Killers, Possibly Inspired By “The Gainesville Ripper”  

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.399
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, it is Friday, August fifteenth, and Brian Koberger,

0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>who is serving four life sentences for killing those four

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>University of Idaho students, says the other prisoners aren't being

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>nice to him. He's been told to stop whining. Welcome

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to Amy and TJ. Robes. That's a headline making its

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.960
<v Speaker 1>way around how he is complaining about other prisoners taunting him.

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>But some real headlines and real information robes that we

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>have never heard before that we are getting. Now that's

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of giving us. He hasn't told us why he

0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>did it, but we're getting a little more insight into

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe why he did this.

0:00:44.040 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this is fascinating stuff because even at the sentencing hearing,

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 2>we were all hoping that Brian Coberger was going to

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>say something to the families of those just brutally murdered

0:00:56.840 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>Idaho students. He said nothing. Everyone wanted to know why.

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 2>Everyone wanted to know if there was a connection between

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>these students, any of these students in him. And now

0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:10.840
<v Speaker 2>we are starting to actually get real information because a

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 2>gag order has been lifted and one of the digital

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 2>forensics experts has been talking about what she uncovered while

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.839
<v Speaker 2>investigating this trial or preparing for this trial and investigating

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>this crime, and what we're learning is creepy. It's like

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.760
<v Speaker 2>stuff movies are made of. Horror movies are made of

0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 2>what this man, Brian Coberger, was doing in the weeks

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 2>leading up to the murders and then in the weeks

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>following the murders before he was actually captured.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>So to remind you all, to catch you up here, yes,

0:01:40.440 --> 0:01:43.759
<v Speaker 1>he the murders happened back in twenty twenty two. Two

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>were preparing for trial this year. He pleads guilty, just

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>sentenced last month. Yes, so this is where we are.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Even on the day of his sentencing, when all this

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>was finally over, a lot of the gag orders were

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:02.800
<v Speaker 1>lifted and a lot of things were unsealed, and I

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>think immediately after, I think it was press conferences, some

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 1>officials were starting to give out a little more information publicly.

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.799
<v Speaker 1>And this brings us today. This Heather Barnhardt is her name.

0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 1>She's a digital forensics expert, so she is not under

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>any kind of gag order, but she's starting to give

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.600
<v Speaker 1>some interviews. So this is why we're getting a lot

0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.080
<v Speaker 1>of these details. And she Robes was one of the

0:02:22.120 --> 0:02:25.119
<v Speaker 1>ones and she was prepared to testify, and she's telling

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>us what she was going to say. But she is

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the ones who went through his phone, and

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>this stuff is.

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Fascinating, it truly is. So she was able to find

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 2>out that he was planning this murder for quite some time.

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.280
<v Speaker 2>She can see and she could tell it. Actually he

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 2>tried to cover up his searches and his research and

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 2>these PDF files and these documents he was downloading on

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>serial killers, multiple multiple serial killers that he was obsessed with,

0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:58.399
<v Speaker 2>She basically said, not just casually Google searching him them,

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>but actually obsessed with them. And there was a.

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Study is a good way to put it. He was

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.799
<v Speaker 1>studying them woo.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 2>And that is some scary stuff when you start to

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>see who he was studying and who he was obsessed with.

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>There was actually one particular serial killer who he seemed

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>to be fixated on.

0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Danny Rawling. Now I don't know if that name. I

0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't recognize the name when I first saw at Robes,

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.480
<v Speaker 1>but Danny Rawling. Some people might remember the murders in

0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>nineteen ninety down in Florida near the University of Florida campus.

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Danny Rawling was known as the Gainesville Ripper, and he

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.680
<v Speaker 1>killed five students down there over a stretch of a

0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.760
<v Speaker 1>few days. Now, if that doesn't sound familiar to you,

0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.839
<v Speaker 1>this will. This guy served as the inspiration for one

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>of the greatest probably horror movie franchises of all time, Scream.

0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah and so yes. He was called the Gainesville Ripper,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 2>and he would go into these college students' rooms through

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.120
<v Speaker 2>a sliding glass door, an open door, and then he

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 2>killed them and posed their bodies. And so it appears

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 2>when you look and see what Coburger did in terms

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.360
<v Speaker 2>of getting through in a sliding glass door. He stalked.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 2>They believe he stalked this home to look and see

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 2>where he could go in, where he could enter, and

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 2>it just it was scarily similar to what if you

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 2>go back and look and see what Rolling did. It's

0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 2>kind of eerily similar to what Coburger did.

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, you said he I think they had a

0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:29.200
<v Speaker 1>did they say twenty? I think they said twenty serial

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 1>killers that he had research on, but this was one

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 1>in particular.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Go ahead, yeah, Well, some of the ones he was

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 2>researching are household names. He was looking into Ted Bundy,

0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 2>he was looking into John Wayne Gacy. But there are

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:45.520
<v Speaker 2>twenty names and all of these people. He It was

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 2>really interesting how this forensic experts put it. She said,

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.760
<v Speaker 2>he didn't just google these cases. He downloaded full PDFs

0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:56.159
<v Speaker 2>of case files, not once, but repeatedly. He was downloading

0:04:56.200 --> 0:05:00.480
<v Speaker 2>detailed reports about serial killers. This wasn't casual browsing. This

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.440
<v Speaker 2>was meticulous research.

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, so that I mean that answer is a

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 1>pretty significant question, does it not. This dude was planning

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>to kill somebody while he was doing this research. He

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>might not have even known who, but this was a plan.

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 1>This wasn't just random. He didn't just happen upon a house,

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>happen upon some people he wanted to kill. That is terrifying,

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 1>and think about it.

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:29.680
<v Speaker 2>He also was a PhD student. He was getting his

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 2>master's degree in criminology, so he was a student of

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 2>crime and then became someone who took it to the

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 2>next level and wanted to become a serial killer. It

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 2>looked as though that was what he was researching, even academically,

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 2>and then in his free time was taking it even

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 2>a step further, which is just chilling.

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 1>You said he wanted to be a serial killer. He

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>also didn't want to get caught. That is part of

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 1>the information that's come out again from this forensic scientist

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>who went through his phone, who was prepared, who was

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>supposed to be a witness at his trial, says here quote,

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>he was diligent in prep and cleanup, and he made

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 1>our job really hard. This is someone who tried really

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>hard to not be detected. What I mean, I don't

0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.240
<v Speaker 1>know how much they've gotten in the psych evaluation of

0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy, but he wanted to be a serial killer.

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.320
<v Speaker 1>He was trying to get away with this. I mean,

0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I guess sometimes people are wired strangely. This is an illness.

0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 1>This is sick.

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 2>It is sick. And even at the time where they

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.559
<v Speaker 2>were trying to again build the case against him, should

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 2>it have gone to trial, but his phone, he even

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 2>knew he didn't lose signal or run out of battery

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 2>when he was at the home of those four college students.

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 2>Right before he went and committed these heinous acts, he

0:06:56.000 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 2>turned his phone off, but he also took his Wi

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:03.080
<v Speaker 2>Fi off, took his like he meticulously made sure that

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 2>his phone would not link him to this crime. So

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>for a full two hours, his phone was completely turned off,

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 2>out of service, and unavailable for any sort of way

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:17.880
<v Speaker 2>that they could trace where somebody was at the time

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:18.360
<v Speaker 2>of the crime.

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>So this is how particular and this is what digital

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>forensics can do. They know exactly when his phone went

0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>dark November thirteenth, twenty twenty two, the day of the murders.

0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:32.560
<v Speaker 1>Phone went dark two fifty four am, came back at

0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>four forty eight am. In that stretch of time, four

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.360
<v Speaker 1>kids were murdered in Idaho.

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't a coincidence. And the other interesting thing they

0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:45.400
<v Speaker 2>found on his phone was that they could go back

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>and see where it had logged into Wi Fi and

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.520
<v Speaker 2>everyone was looking for this connection. Did Coburger know his victims,

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 2>did he stalk them? Did he watch them? Well, it

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>turns out two of the victims worked at a Greek restaurant,

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 2>the Mad Greek I believe was the name of it,

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and they were able to go back and see twice

0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 2>I believe his phone connected to that Wi Fi, So

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.000
<v Speaker 2>it appears at least on two occasions he was in

0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>the same restaurant where two of the victims worked. So

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:16.840
<v Speaker 2>there is now for the first time, a real potential

0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.840
<v Speaker 2>connection that maybe he did watch these girls, he was

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 2>specifically targeting them and planning it.

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>The saint that could have been totally random as well.

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.120
<v Speaker 1>In a smaller town, he happens to go in there.

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>But at the same time they came out and said again,

0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:35.079
<v Speaker 1>did they not robes? After sentencing, they came out and

0:08:35.120 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>said it again. There is We have been going through

0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.720
<v Speaker 1>this case since twenty twenty two. We have still not

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:46.679
<v Speaker 1>found a single connection between this guy and these kids.

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 2>It sounds like he was studying serial killers. He was

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.240
<v Speaker 2>studying criminology at school in a master's program or a

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 2>doctorate program, excuse me, he was getting his PhD. And

0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.800
<v Speaker 2>he was waiting for the right time, perhaps the right victims,

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.839
<v Speaker 2>in the right location. And it's really chilling to think

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 2>that this was all happening. And ah, and he had

0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 2>this one goal in mind, which is just frightening. Something

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 2>else that's extra creepy. It brings back and it hearkens

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>another horror movie, Psycho. Because this was also so interesting,

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 2>this digital forensic expert said the amount of times he

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:30.960
<v Speaker 2>would text and call his parents was actually extraordinary, and

0:09:31.000 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>he had them. He only had the contacts in his

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.480
<v Speaker 2>phone were mother, father, sister, and he almost had I think.

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:40.599
<v Speaker 2>They said they found one other text chain where he

0:09:40.679 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 2>might have said one thing to a classmate, and that

0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 2>was it. He did not have friends, he did not

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.760
<v Speaker 2>have other contacts, but to even have his family labeled

0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:53.240
<v Speaker 2>as mother, father, sister, no names, And immediately after the

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.839
<v Speaker 2>murders he was texting his mom before and after at

0:09:56.880 --> 0:09:59.560
<v Speaker 2>six thirteen am. And then if his mom wouldn't answer,

0:09:59.600 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 2>he'd call his father. It was as if he had

0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.160
<v Speaker 2>to constantly be connected to them and calling them and

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 2>texting them in a very strange ways.

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Saved in your phone?

0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Mom, Dad?

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>What about your brother Eric? How about you? Yeah? I

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>think I have mom, I have pop, but I'm trying to.

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.959
<v Speaker 2>Think about but mother, father, sister, Sister's even the weirdest.

0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 2>Can you imagine just having sister in your phone?

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:32.199
<v Speaker 1>Pastor, I mean cousin his daughter. I have never actually

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>heard of this.

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 2>It's almost never. If you're you're desensitized in a way

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that you are actually not even humanizing the people in

0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:43.280
<v Speaker 2>your life closest to you. You're actually just having some

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 2>formal name associated with it. Can you imagine daughter one,

0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 2>daughter two instead of Ava and analyse? But that's kind

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:53.200
<v Speaker 2>of what it's akin to. And she pointed it out

0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.400
<v Speaker 2>that it and if you look to see his texting

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and calling habits, they were abnormal.

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.040
<v Speaker 1>They said. The details again, one last thing about how

0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:06.640
<v Speaker 1>he kept things hidden. They said, some things and rogues

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.560
<v Speaker 1>that he was planning to get away with this, And

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.720
<v Speaker 1>I guess he studied the serial killers of the things

0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they got right and if you will, and the things

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.080
<v Speaker 1>they got wrong and got them called. But he was

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to cover his tracks. They say. He was trying

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 1>so hard to cover his tracks that you could not

0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:22.560
<v Speaker 1>find some of the information on that phone unless you

0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>had special forensic tools to use, so so a normal

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>person couldn't do it. So he was taking robes some

0:11:32.800 --> 0:11:36.559
<v Speaker 1>pretty significant steps to do this and get away with this.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:41.599
<v Speaker 2>And then after the murders, he was downloading reports incessantly

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 2>on the Idaho murders and was doing extensive searches on

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 2>each of the victims, and again buried these files in

0:11:50.640 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 2>directories like a way that you and I wouldn't even

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>know how to do it. But they were able to

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.720
<v Speaker 2>find that he was obsessed with the crime, obsessed with

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 2>the coverage of it, and was monitoring it multiple times.

0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 2>They said he was even on the Moscow Police Department

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.400
<v Speaker 2>constantly going back and checking for updates and looking to

0:12:07.440 --> 0:12:10.960
<v Speaker 2>see what they had what they knew and it was

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:12.600
<v Speaker 2>all uncovered through their work.

0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Also, the also in that batch of things he was

0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>looking at and looking at press reports that came out

0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>from this forensic analysis said that the day before his

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>arrest and the day yeah, the day before his arrest,

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:35.280
<v Speaker 1>he was searching things like wiretapping, psychopath and paranoid was

0:12:34.679 --> 0:12:37.680
<v Speaker 1>in his searches the day before he was arrested.

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>That's so bizarre, and it was bizarre, It really is.

0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 2>I think it's it's I love the way the forensic

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:46.440
<v Speaker 2>expert put this. She said, with what they were able

0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 2>to find, there wasn't a single smoking gun, but what

0:12:49.520 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 2>they found was digital evidence that told a story of preparation.

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 2>So that was a big part of that. This was

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.719
<v Speaker 2>so premeditated. This was prepared, it was analyzed, it was researched,

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and then he was and became obsessed with what was

0:13:04.400 --> 0:13:06.800
<v Speaker 2>going if he was going to get caught.

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh my godness. All right, well, folks, the latest thing

0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>with him, and it's this is bizarre in a bizarre case.

0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Robes is that he's in prison and apparently the other

0:13:18.160 --> 0:13:22.080
<v Speaker 1>prisoners aren't being nice to him, and those reports have

0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>been out there to the point that now the Idaho

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Department of Corrections has actually had to put out a

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.920
<v Speaker 1>statement and respond to what's happening to him. I'll summarize. Now,

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>shut up, Brian.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.200
<v Speaker 2>Before we go to break, I have to tell you

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 2>about new leggings I've been living in lately. They're from

0:13:43.360 --> 0:13:46.439
<v Speaker 2>this brand called Tona, and fun fact here, they were

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.200
<v Speaker 2>actually designed by the same visionary behind Lululemon. So from

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:52.920
<v Speaker 2>that alone, you already know they're going to be pretty good.

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 2>These leggings feel like a second skin. They're super flattering,

0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.560
<v Speaker 2>super comfortable, and somehow still support it. I've been wearing

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 2>them on my warning runs and they've quickly become my

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 2>everyday lounging leggings too. And here's what makes them even better.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Every pair you buy helps fund a mental health counseling

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.040
<v Speaker 2>session for a teen in need. Tona's on a mission

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to end teen suicide and self harm, which we think

0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:20.160
<v Speaker 2>is so important and incredible, So we've partnered with Tona

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 2>to give you twenty percent off your order and free shipping.

0:14:23.880 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 2>Head to tonaactive dot com and use code iHeart for

0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 2>twenty percent off and free shipping.

0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Continuing now with what's pretty much some mom certainly never

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>before heard, but pretty stunning details robes about Brian Coberger,

0:14:47.600 --> 0:14:50.000
<v Speaker 1>who was convicted, of course and serving for life sentences

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.640
<v Speaker 1>for the deaths for those brutal murders of those four

0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.840
<v Speaker 1>University of Idaho students. And we've been talking about this

0:14:57.160 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>forensic digital forensic expert who went through his phone and

0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 1>was prepared to testify at his trial, but of course

0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 1>he ended up pleading guilty. But we've we've shared some

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 1>of the quotes that are out there, but this one

0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:15.520
<v Speaker 1>we kind of saved because this quote, I think maybe

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is the strongest one we've heard so far from this

0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.440
<v Speaker 1>forensic expert and maybe even from anybody to try to

0:15:23.560 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>explain the why. This is as closed as we get.

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Everybody wants to know the why. But this is what

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 2>she said. This wasn't someone who just snapped. This was

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 2>someone who planned. He didn't accidentally stumbled into this house

0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:40.440
<v Speaker 2>and commit the heinous crime. It was intentional.

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>That's tough.

0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.320
<v Speaker 2>It really is tough. And you know, she said, we're

0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 2>never going to be able to give the families a

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:50.200
<v Speaker 2>true why he did this, but they wanted to, and

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 2>their whole purpose was to at least show how he

0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:59.200
<v Speaker 2>did it, and really not make it like it wasn't

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:02.200
<v Speaker 2>something he just decided to do on impulse. This was

0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.520
<v Speaker 2>something that was planned. It was not spontaneous, and that

0:16:04.600 --> 0:16:07.480
<v Speaker 2>was a part of understanding the why. You know, you

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.840
<v Speaker 2>don't you won't be able to ever know why he

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 2>chose who he chose, but in understanding the why, he

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:19.280
<v Speaker 2>was intentional. He was planning this. This was what he

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:23.040
<v Speaker 2>wanted to be and become, and he wanted to do it.

0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.160
<v Speaker 2>It seems as though he wanted to do it more

0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>than once. He wanted to build up this serial killer reputation.

0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 2>It's really disturbing, you.

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Know, if every story right. We learned this very early

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 1>on the who, what, when, where, why, and how? We've

0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.760
<v Speaker 1>answered everything, I think except the why now because really,

0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>through some of this information that this analysis put out,

0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:51.880
<v Speaker 1>we are at least in the public understanding more of

0:16:51.920 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the how. The how he did this was not just randomly.

0:16:56.680 --> 0:16:58.400
<v Speaker 1>How he was able to be on the run and

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.880
<v Speaker 1>undetected for so long kind of makes more sense now

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 1>because he had no connection. Maybe he made sure he

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.919
<v Speaker 1>had no connection to these kids. I don't perhaps, but

0:17:08.000 --> 0:17:11.560
<v Speaker 1>he covered his tracks as well as something. But this

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>is the why is left the How this helps.

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it does. I think that it is incredibly helpful.

0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:22.320
<v Speaker 2>I wonder what his parents knew or suspected, if anything

0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:24.679
<v Speaker 2>at all. But it did seem as though he was

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.240
<v Speaker 2>so closely tied to them, at least electronically, and it

0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:30.800
<v Speaker 2>seemed as if he had a very close relationship with them.

0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>It's hard to imagine they didn't wonder about his disposition

0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:40.479
<v Speaker 2>or wonder about his mindset. If he's researching all of this,

0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:44.520
<v Speaker 2>living in this a criminality criminology PhD student, would there

0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:48.119
<v Speaker 2>be signs? Were there signs? I wonder what that relationship

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:50.920
<v Speaker 2>must be like with his family who sat in court

0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:55.600
<v Speaker 2>with him every day and the prisoner yeah, the mom cry.

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:57.960
<v Speaker 2>But prisoners when he was being held during right before

0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:00.600
<v Speaker 2>the trial after he was arrested, described him as talking

0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.880
<v Speaker 2>on the phone with his mom for hours. So this, Yeah,

0:18:04.080 --> 0:18:07.520
<v Speaker 2>that's just fascinating to think that they wouldn't have known

0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:08.359
<v Speaker 2>something was off.

0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:10.840
<v Speaker 1>And I have it right there, and you remind me,

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, you don't know either. There was an uptick

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.919
<v Speaker 1>they said right in uh messages to his mom, Yes,

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.920
<v Speaker 1>what the morning after the killings. Then somewhere around his.

0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:22.960
<v Speaker 2>Arrest with yes, so two different times, right before he

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.920
<v Speaker 2>was arrested, yes, and then right before right after the

0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 2>murders were committed. So he committed the murders between somewhere

0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.399
<v Speaker 2>between two and four am. At six thirteen am, they

0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>said he was just non stop texting his mom and

0:18:33.760 --> 0:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>calling his mom and his dad, both of them, just

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:39.960
<v Speaker 2>very like in a way that drew attention. It was abnormal,

0:18:40.080 --> 0:18:40.960
<v Speaker 2>is how she described it.

0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, we mentioned off the top here. Yes,

0:18:43.359 --> 0:18:46.119
<v Speaker 1>the headlines were being made that he in fact was

0:18:46.160 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>being taunted, is the right way to put it. Maybe

0:18:50.320 --> 0:18:54.040
<v Speaker 1>by fellow prisoners at the prison maximum security prison where

0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:58.040
<v Speaker 1>he's being held in Idaho. So those reports were getting

0:18:58.040 --> 0:19:01.360
<v Speaker 1>around rose about some pretty I think it was News

0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:04.160
<v Speaker 1>Nation that was first reporting. I believe they were. When

0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 1>was it that they were screaming at him through the

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:07.080
<v Speaker 1>vents or something?

0:19:07.280 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 2>H Yeah, so he's yeah, physically he's in no danger,

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.480
<v Speaker 2>but mentally they're they're torturing him deliberately. So they're banging

0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.080
<v Speaker 2>on the walls, yelling at him, shouting at him through

0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:20.520
<v Speaker 2>the vents, I believe is what the description was, And

0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 2>that he's been complaining incessantly to the guards that he's

0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:27.080
<v Speaker 2>being tormented, and they're saying, hey, you are physically safe.

0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:30.200
<v Speaker 2>Ain't nothing else we can do. And in fact, the prison.

0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Statement, how often do we when do we ever get

0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:38.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance to say, hey, Department of Corrections, you nailed

0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:40.320
<v Speaker 1>it on that press release.

0:19:40.680 --> 0:19:44.560
<v Speaker 2>Department of Corrections nailed it on this statement that they said.

0:19:44.640 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 2>And they this is what they gave out to the

0:19:45.920 --> 0:19:48.400
<v Speaker 2>news outlets who were asking, hey, you know he's complaining.

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:52.000
<v Speaker 2>He's saying he's being tortured. So here's what the what

0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.640
<v Speaker 2>the prison said. We are aware of Coburger's complaints about

0:19:55.680 --> 0:20:00.800
<v Speaker 2>what he considers taunting. Incarcerated individuals commonly communicate with each

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:04.280
<v Speaker 2>other in prison. Brian Coberger is housed alone in a cell,

0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and IDoc security staff maintain a safe and orderly environment

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.240
<v Speaker 2>for all individuals in our custody.

0:20:10.640 --> 0:20:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I love that you. I think you read it the

0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.159
<v Speaker 1>way they meant it to be read. That whoever is

0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:18.119
<v Speaker 1>on that staff, I don't know who came up with that,

0:20:18.160 --> 0:20:21.119
<v Speaker 1>but what a way to put it. They commonly communicate

0:20:21.160 --> 0:20:24.639
<v Speaker 1>with each other in prison. That was just well done. Great.

0:20:24.680 --> 0:20:27.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody cares about him not being able

0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:30.000
<v Speaker 1>to sleep, and I understand we're not suggesting any inhumane

0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 1>treatment of anyone, but complaining about being taunted by fellow prisoners.

0:20:36.040 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>Well done, Idaho Department of Correction.

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.280
<v Speaker 2>And I don't think anyone's shedding one tier for poor

0:20:41.320 --> 0:20:44.920
<v Speaker 2>mister Coburger who doesn't like being mentally tortured or having

0:20:44.920 --> 0:20:47.920
<v Speaker 2>to have, you know, people kicking the doors and utilizing

0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:49.959
<v Speaker 2>the event system to shout whatever they'd like at him.

0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:51.639
<v Speaker 2>I kind of want to know what they're saying, but

0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:53.840
<v Speaker 2>just I just kind of want to know.

0:20:53.880 --> 0:20:55.879
<v Speaker 1>It's just common prison to talk common.

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:57.679
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wonder what that is. I wouldn't know, but.

0:20:58.720 --> 0:21:02.879
<v Speaker 1>Well, this was one and we should remember Ethan Chappin

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.720
<v Speaker 1>twenty years old, Zanna Kernodle twenty years old, Madison Mogan

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty one years old, and Kaylee Guncalvis twenty one years old,

0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.160
<v Speaker 1>the four victims in all this. And I think Grove

0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I would really wonder what the families think about the

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.560
<v Speaker 1>information they've gotten, because we're learning it for the first time.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 1>They were complaining about the lack of information, so they're

0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:26.919
<v Speaker 1>learning a lot of things now as well. Wonder how

0:21:27.000 --> 0:21:29.040
<v Speaker 1>they feel about this bit of information.

0:21:29.280 --> 0:21:31.439
<v Speaker 2>It's probably so hard to hear to know that he

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.879
<v Speaker 2>had been quietly planning all of this all along, and

0:21:34.960 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 2>perhaps was even stalking and watching their loved ones before

0:21:40.240 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 2>he ended up doing just what no parent wants to

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:44.600
<v Speaker 2>wake up and hear.

0:21:44.640 --> 0:21:44.840
<v Speaker 1>Look.

0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I just Annalie's literally as we're recording. This is on

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 2>her way to her college campus, where she is going

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to be living in a house with six other folks,

0:21:53.440 --> 0:21:56.080
<v Speaker 2>and I have been repeatedly telling her the story. Please

0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:57.920
<v Speaker 2>lock your doors, Please like your doors. She actually yelled

0:21:57.920 --> 0:22:00.719
<v Speaker 2>at me yesterday Mom stopped talking about the idahom. But

0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:03.639
<v Speaker 2>this is something. This is every parent's worst nightmare, anyone

0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:05.560
<v Speaker 2>who's sending their kids off to college right now, this

0:22:05.600 --> 0:22:08.240
<v Speaker 2>is the time of year we're all doing that, and

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 2>this is just a cautionary tale, a scary one at that.

0:22:11.800 --> 0:22:13.920
<v Speaker 2>But to know that there are evil people out there.

0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.359
<v Speaker 1>And yes, lock your doors. You feel safe in numbers. Right,

0:22:18.400 --> 0:22:20.040
<v Speaker 1>there's six of us living in this house.

0:22:20.240 --> 0:22:22.720
<v Speaker 2>There are guys in our house. And I said there

0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:25.119
<v Speaker 2>was a guy in the Idaho house as well. It

0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:28.560
<v Speaker 2>doesn't make you immune to certain people who want to

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.920
<v Speaker 2>do evil, who want to do something terrible, and so

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.240
<v Speaker 2>locking your doors and just being aware that people like

0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:36.600
<v Speaker 2>this exist in the world It's not just in the movies.

0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:40.080
<v Speaker 2>These are, unfortunately people who are living around us and

0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.760
<v Speaker 2>among us, and it's just it is a cautionary.

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Tale, all right. Folks will continue to keep an eye

0:22:45.080 --> 0:22:48.600
<v Speaker 1>on this case as more information does continue to trickle out.

0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.679
<v Speaker 1>We always appreciate you listening with us. Signed TJ. Holmes

0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:54.119
<v Speaker 1>alongside my partner Amy Robot. Talk to you all soon.
