- 0:35Speaker 2: After just twenty four hours in prison, Brian Coberger has
- 0:39Speaker 2: already started complaining and making demands. Keller Coberger has no
- 0:43Speaker 2: trouble admitting to violently killing four people with a knife
- 0:47Speaker 2: and a sneak attack in the middle of the night,
- 0:49Speaker 2: But after just one night in J Blog at the
- 0:52Speaker 2: Idaho Maximum Security Prison, he's begging to be transferred out.
- 0:56Speaker 2: He submits a handwritten note telling the deputy ward he
- 1:00Speaker 2: is being subjected to minute by minute verbal threats and
- 1:03Speaker 2: harassment and asks to be transferred out of Unit two
- 1:07Speaker 2: on J Block because he says, quote J Block is
- 1:10Speaker 2: an environment I wish to transfer from. In his first
- 1:14Speaker 2: note of complaint and begging, Coberger violates a cardinal rule
- 1:18Speaker 2: of prison, never ratting out your fellow prisoners. Coburger writes
- 1:23Speaker 2: he is quote not engaging in any of the recent
- 1:26Speaker 2: flooding slash striking. Flooding in prison jargon refers to inmates
- 1:31Speaker 2: intentionally causing water i e. Their toilets to overflow in
- 1:36Speaker 2: their cells, creating a disruption on the block, and by
- 1:39Speaker 2: saying he isn't taking part, he's pointing his bony finger
- 1:43Speaker 2: of righteous indignation at others on jy block. After sending
- 1:48Speaker 2: his first note of complaint after his first night in prison,
- 1:51Speaker 2: Coberger follows it up a few days later with another note,
- 1:55Speaker 2: this one given to a guard and claiming he is
- 1:58Speaker 2: the victim of sexual harassment. In the note, Coberger claims
- 2:03Speaker 2: one inmate is threatening to rape him, while another inmate
- 2:07Speaker 2: says the only blank will be eating is Coburger's. Coberger
- 2:12Speaker 2: offers up the name of a guard he says heard
- 2:15Speaker 2: the threats and harassment so his claims can be verified.
- 2:18Speaker 2: An incident notification report is filed by the guard who
- 2:23Speaker 2: received the second Coburger note, and the guard named by
- 2:26Speaker 2: Coberger is then questioned about the claims made by the
- 2:30Speaker 2: admitted quadruple murderer. In report filed three days later, the
- 2:34Speaker 2: guard says he recalls vulgar language being used and directed
- 2:39Speaker 2: towards Coburger, but he doesn't know which inmates made the threats.
- 2:43Speaker 2: In his note, Coberger tells Deputy Warden that he wants
- 2:47Speaker 2: to be transferred to B Block immediately, immediately. Coberger also
- 2:52Speaker 2: wants to speak to the Deputy Warden soon. In response,
- 2:57Speaker 2: Coberger is told J Block is generally a fairly calm
- 3:00Speaker 2: and quieter tear and the flooding is a relatively rare occurrence.
- 3:06Speaker 2: He isn't given his transfer, and he is told to quote,
- 3:10Speaker 2: just give it some time. More crime and justice news. Next,
- 3:19Speaker 2: the man accused of killing four members of a family
- 3:22Speaker 2: and then abandoning an infant in West Tennessee last month
- 3:25Speaker 2: told a Nashville television station that he is innocent and
- 3:28Speaker 2: had no reason to kill the victims. Austin Drummond is
- 3:32Speaker 2: twenty eight years old. He told WTVFTV that he had
- 3:36Speaker 2: been working as a confidential informant. He says he was
- 3:40Speaker 2: told his cover was blown and when Adriana Williams, James
- 3:44Speaker 2: Matthew Wilson, Courtney Rose, and Braden Williams were murdered, he ran.
- 3:49Speaker 2: He allegedly admitted that was the wrong thing to do,
- 3:52Speaker 2: but he told the station he was scared. Drummond was
- 3:56Speaker 2: captured in Jackson, Tennessee, about seventy five miles from where
- 3:59Speaker 2: the murder actually took place. After a week long man hunt,
- 4:03Speaker 2: several people were arrested and charged with assisting the fugitive
- 4:07Speaker 2: while he was on the run. The four family members,
- 4:09Speaker 2: the Williams's children of Rose and Wilson, Adriana Williams's boyfriend,
- 4:14Speaker 2: were found dead in Lake County on July twenty ninth,
- 4:17Speaker 2: just hours after Adrianna Williams and Wilson's infant daughter was
- 4:21Speaker 2: found abandoned in Dyer County in a car seat on
- 4:24Speaker 2: a stretch of road at the end of a driveway.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Authorities named Drummond, who had been dating Rose's sister, as
- 4:31Speaker 2: the suspect in the murders. Drummond told WTVF that prosecutors
- 4:36Speaker 2: approached him in prison to help them with a crackdown
- 4:39Speaker 2: on drug smuggling into jails and to assist in arresting dealers,
- 4:43Speaker 2: crooked cops, and gang leadership. He said he had joined
- 4:47Speaker 2: the vice lord's gang during a previous prison term, but
- 4:51Speaker 2: they found out he was an informant and he didn't
- 4:54Speaker 2: know because he was afraid that bad things had happened.
- 4:57Speaker 2: So he was afraid, and he says, because I was
- 5:00Speaker 2: an informant, things would go wrong, things would happen to me.
- 5:04Speaker 2: He told the TV station he considers all the victims
- 5:07Speaker 2: of the murderers of family, and while insisting on his innocence,
- 5:11Speaker 2: says he's somehow directly involved in the murders, but he
- 5:14Speaker 2: said he wasn't ready to answer questions about that, who
- 5:17Speaker 2: killed the victims or how the baby came to be
- 5:19Speaker 2: abandoned in Diyre County. Lake County District Attorney Danny Goodman
- 5:23Speaker 2: told the TV station he was aware of the phone
- 5:25Speaker 2: conversation with the suspect, since all jail phone calls are recorded,
- 5:29Speaker 2: even not comment on Drummond's statements, but said he had
- 5:32Speaker 2: no doubt that Drummond was the killer and that there
- 5:35Speaker 2: was a clear motive. In other crime news, a Massachusetts
- 5:38Speaker 2: man has now been charged with murder for allegedly stabbing
- 5:42Speaker 2: his pregnant girlfriend to death, then burying her body in
- 5:46Speaker 2: his grandma's yard, an incredibly grisly killing that she predicted
- 5:51Speaker 2: in a chilling text to her sister the day before.
- 5:54Speaker 2: Gregory Groom is twenty two years old. He was arraigned
- 5:57Speaker 2: in Taughton District Court on Wednesday, just a day after
- 6:00Speaker 2: the body of eighteen year old Kylie Montero was found
- 6:03Speaker 2: buried behind a shed on the property where he lives
- 6:06Speaker 2: with his grandparents. Montero was eleven weeks pregnant when she
- 6:09Speaker 2: was last heard from on August seventh, the day she
- 6:12Speaker 2: sent her sister a text message claiming Groom had attacked her.
- 6:16Speaker 2: In a direct quote from the text quote, he threw
- 6:18Speaker 2: me on the ground, pulled my hair and strangled me.
- 6:22Speaker 2: My phone's at four percent. If I die, it was
- 6:26Speaker 2: greg The next day, Groom himself called police to report
- 6:30Speaker 2: his girlfriend missing, and said she'd been at his house
- 6:33Speaker 2: looking to stay, then left following an argument. She had
- 6:37Speaker 2: been staying at a homeless shelter for pregnant women, But
- 6:40Speaker 2: when he fell under suspicion and police told him they
- 6:43Speaker 2: were planning to search his grandparents' property, that's when Groom
- 6:46Speaker 2: allegedly folded and owned up to everything. Prosecutor's alleged Groom
- 6:50Speaker 2: confessed to stabbing Montero with a kitchen knife and then
- 6:53Speaker 2: dragging her body to the woods and burying her about
- 6:56Speaker 2: five feet underground. Everybody was ultimately found about twenty yards
- 7:00Speaker 2: from where the fight allegedly occurred. Despite his alleged confession,
- 7:04Speaker 2: Groom pleaded not guilty to the murder. With this crime
