- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. Brian Coburger's hidden essay reveals
- 0:11Speaker 1: a plot to walk free. This essay, found in thousands
- 0:17Speaker 1: of pages of documents in his apartment, is at a
- 0:22Speaker 1: harbinger of things to come. Also, Coburger screaming from behind bars,
- 0:29Speaker 1: I have mental health disorders. Set me free, and tonight
- 0:34Speaker 1: are more Coburger victims emerging. How many are there that
- 0:39Speaker 1: we don't know about? I'm Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I want to thank you for being with us.
- 0:44Speaker 2: He was very socially in and speaking on the phone
- 0:48Speaker 2: for hours with his parents every single day.
- 0:50Speaker 1: He is proud. This is right after the murders, thumbs up,
- 0:56Speaker 1: self aggrandizing smile, all cleaned up.
- 1:00Speaker 2: He just wants to have power for the people.
- 1:02Speaker 1: He's a machine of killing machine. Okay, before I get
- 1:07Speaker 1: into the thousands of pages that are being poured over
- 1:11Speaker 1: as we speak, one revealing his plot to get a reversal,
- 1:19Speaker 1: have his plea deal overthrown and guess what it includes
- 1:24Speaker 1: claims of prosecutorial misconduct. But before I can get to that,
- 1:27Speaker 1: I've got to talk to Susan Hendrix joining us about
- 1:30Speaker 1: the creepy selfies, the shirtless selfies, new ones that have
- 1:35Speaker 1: just emerged, exactly. Susan Hendrix joining us, a journalist, investigative reporter,
- 1:41Speaker 1: author of Down the heel My, Descent Into the Double
- 1:44Speaker 1: Murder and Delphi to the control room. I'd like to
- 1:48Speaker 1: see the new selfies. Actually that was a mistatement. I
- 1:51Speaker 1: wouldn't like to see them. I'm gonna have to. Oh
- 1:55Speaker 1: dear lord, I'm gonna have to report on them. Just
- 1:57Speaker 1: hold that. What the hey? What okay? Tell me, Susan,
- 2:05Speaker 1: tell me what this is and why I'm having to
- 2:09Speaker 1: look at coburger without a shirt on, flexing and staring
- 2:14Speaker 1: into the camera. Why is this happening?
- 2:16Speaker 2: Yeah, they are cringe worthy. And for the company that
- 2:20Speaker 2: looked through his data his self, they found out that.
- 2:23Speaker 1: He does he actually have his pants pulled down toward
- 2:27Speaker 1: his crotch so I can say more of his belly
- 2:31Speaker 1: button hair.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Well, you know, it's like in Sports Illustrated magazine, you
- 2:35Speaker 3: know cover the swimsuit is pulled down just a tantalizing
- 2:41Speaker 3: bit too low.
- 2:43Speaker 1: Is that what he's doing? Ew?
- 2:45Speaker 2: You, it's gross, it's cringe worthy. If feel sorry for
- 2:48Speaker 2: the families who have to look at that. And I
- 2:50Speaker 2: was looking at each picture, getting grossed out by the way,
- 2:53Speaker 2: but kind of wondering what is he thinking there? He
- 2:55Speaker 2: didn't send these to anyone there for himself. It reminded
- 2:59Speaker 2: me of the mar Psycho that movie Just Loving Himself
- 3:04Speaker 2: is cringeworthy. Discussing very is flexing. It's perplexing seeing all
- 3:09Speaker 2: this evidence. What was on his phone?
- 3:11Speaker 1: Okay, I think it's deeper than that. Because doctor Sherry
- 3:16Speaker 1: Schwartz joining US forensic psychologists specializing in capital mitigation at
- 3:22Speaker 1: panthermitigation dot com. She is the author of Criminal Behavior
- 3:26Speaker 1: and Where a Law in Psychology intersect. Doctor Sherry, thank
- 3:30Speaker 1: you for being with us. I noticed that in one
- 3:31Speaker 1: of the photos, and I got a lot more important
- 3:35Speaker 1: things to discuss with you, but I had to show
- 3:38Speaker 1: these creepy selfies. And I want you to juxtapose these selfies,
- 3:41Speaker 1: doctor Sherry, with the fact that we know that Gelli
- 3:46Speaker 1: Gonsolvis was stabbed in the face thirty times or more.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Isn't it true, Joe Scott Morgan, Then we h at
- 3:58Speaker 1: hers to even say it, and look at her beautiful face.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University and death
- 4:04Speaker 1: investigator isn't it true, Joe Scott that when you have
- 4:07Speaker 1: multiple stab wounds, as you and I've discussed before, that
- 4:10Speaker 1: they begin to overlap because the person's bam bam, bam
- 4:14Speaker 1: bam like that with a in this case of cabar knife,
- 4:18Speaker 1: and those stab wounds hit each other. As I've referred
- 4:23Speaker 1: to it as biting jello. You can't look at the
- 4:26Speaker 1: jello and tell how many bites there were. So we
- 4:28Speaker 1: know a thirty stab wounds Kelly Gonsolvis sustained to her face.
- 4:33Speaker 1: I believe it was Xana that sustained fifty plus stab wounds.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Now now I'm having to look at his shirt list Selfees,
- 4:45Speaker 1: Joe Scott explain overlapping stab wounds at what was done
- 4:48Speaker 1: to Kelly.
- 4:49Speaker 4: Yeah, well, when you begin to think about this, Nancy,
- 4:51Speaker 4: this also gives you an indication that he is literally
- 4:55Speaker 4: on top of her because the proximity of all these
- 4:58Speaker 4: woes you talked about the kind of interlocking or overlapping
- 5:01Speaker 4: injuries that she sustained. We're talking about Kayley. Where they
- 5:06Speaker 4: are so they are so concentrated that the individual that
- 5:11Speaker 4: is perpetrating this has to have this individual pinned in
- 5:14Speaker 4: one spot where they cannot move because he keeps hitting
- 5:18Speaker 4: the target every single time, over and over and over
- 5:22Speaker 4: and over again. Not only not only is he cutting
- 5:27Speaker 4: her in sizing her, stabbing her, also she's also sustained
- 5:33Speaker 4: multiple blunt force trauma where her facial bones were fractured
- 5:36Speaker 4: as well.
- 5:37Speaker 1: Nance Okay, guys, we're talking about the stablings only to killing.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Go on, solve us right now, But there's so much more.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Ethan jugular was sliced, there was arterial bleeding all the
- 5:51Speaker 1: way up to the ceiling, and this guy is taking
- 5:57Speaker 1: his shirtless selfies for his own enjoyment. Listen to what
- 6:03Speaker 1: missus Goldsalves told us.
- 6:06Speaker 5: We actually learned all the truth from her autopsy report,
- 6:10Speaker 5: and we were given her autopsy report on a thumb
- 6:12Speaker 5: drive during the sentence. The investigator walked into the courtroom
- 6:17Speaker 5: that day and said, and we had to arranged that,
- 6:19Speaker 5: and he said, here's the autops report. So in reading
- 6:23Speaker 5: that autopsy report, we found out that Kaylie had been
- 6:28Speaker 5: stabbed twenty four times to her face and head. She
- 6:34Speaker 5: had eleven to her chest neck and like torso area,
- 6:39Speaker 5: and three to her upper extremities.
- 6:42Speaker 2: So I thought about her eyes too.
- 6:45Speaker 5: I was like was her eyes stabbed, but somehow or another,
- 6:50Speaker 5: Kaylee's eyes had not been stabbed. Kaylie did have really
- 6:54Speaker 5: bad facial damage. She or some of her teeth were
- 7:01Speaker 5: we're missing, several were broken, and she had two subdural
- 7:07Speaker 5: hematomas to her head, so.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Her nose was broken badly.
- 7:15Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Kelly's teeth were stabbed out of her mouth.
- 7:21Speaker 1: And did you see Steve Gonsolve as her father at
- 7:26Speaker 1: the end of that when when they were speaking with
- 7:28Speaker 1: us a few days ago, he as his wife is speaking.
- 7:33Speaker 1: I don't know how she even speaks about it. What
- 7:36Speaker 1: strength this woman has. He looks like he just wants
- 7:41Speaker 1: to take the camera and rip the head off. Just
- 7:46Speaker 1: the anger seething in them. And do you blame them?
- 7:51Speaker 1: Her teeth were stabbed out of her mouth.
- 7:53Speaker 4: No, you're talking about this child's daddy, So let that
- 7:57Speaker 4: sink in. He I can dollars to donuts. I guarantee
- 8:01Speaker 4: m to you. He wants to reach through that camera
- 8:03Speaker 4: and grab somebody, and ain't one of us. It's the
- 8:06Speaker 4: guy that's currently housed in Idaho Correctional Facility. And I
- 8:10Speaker 4: can understand why because Nancy the brutality and not just
- 8:15Speaker 4: Cayley's death, but in all of these deaths is pretty
- 8:19Speaker 4: much unimaginable. You don't send your kids off to college
- 8:23Speaker 4: and expect them to return to you in a casket.
- 8:28Speaker 4: It just it doesn't work that way. It's the most
- 8:31Speaker 4: disgusting thing on the face of the planet. And this
- 8:33Speaker 4: guy was given this guy I'm not going to say
- 8:35Speaker 4: his name. I refuse. You can't make me say his name.
- 8:38Speaker 4: This guy was given so much latitude leading up and
- 8:43Speaker 4: now all of this evidence is coming forward revealing how
- 8:46Speaker 4: brutal he was. The timeline leading up to everything, and look,
- 8:50Speaker 4: even DNA in this case is far more than we
- 8:53Speaker 4: ever expected.
- 8:55Speaker 1: There was a trail here, so much evidence. Joe Scott,
- 9:00Speaker 1: let me see j Just Scott another thing which I'm
- 9:02Speaker 1: going to get to, but I had to show these
- 9:04Speaker 1: selfies of this guy preening in front of the camera.
- 9:07Speaker 1: You do know that he has found a way to
- 9:11Speaker 1: appeal his guilty plea, and we uncovered it in his essays.
- 9:17Speaker 1: But not only that, I want to ste you on
- 9:19Speaker 1: this for a moment. He's now claiming he has all
- 9:22Speaker 1: these mental health issues and should be retried or set free,
- 9:28Speaker 1: and one of them is an eating disorder. Okay, hold
- 9:32Speaker 1: that thought, Doctor Sherry Schwartz. Back to you, joining US
- 9:35Speaker 1: forensics expert psychologist, Doctor Sherry Schwartz. His obsession with American psycho.
- 9:45Speaker 1: I don't get it, but can I talk to you
- 9:47Speaker 1: about his preening in front of the camera and flexing
- 9:51Speaker 1: and what it means. It's like Monk. Did you ever
- 9:53Speaker 1: see Monk? Monk only wore a certain he's a brilliant
- 9:58Speaker 1: homicide investigator. He only wore one type of shirt every day.
- 10:04Speaker 1: I think it was a pale blue button down, just
- 10:07Speaker 1: like in this case. Occasionally Coburg will go crazy and
- 10:10Speaker 1: we're a white button down. But that said, they're lined
- 10:15Speaker 1: up behind him and some of the shots. What is
- 10:19Speaker 1: this revealing to you? Because the crime scene is blood soaked,
- 10:25Speaker 1: it looks like a Jackson Pollock. The closet and the
- 10:30Speaker 1: home where he takes these pictures is like bleached clean,
- 10:35Speaker 1: and there's this freaky row of all blue button down
- 10:40Speaker 1: shirts behind him. What is that, doctor Sherry.
- 10:44Speaker 6: I mean a part of it could be his fascination
- 10:48Speaker 6: with some level of fame, even if it is something
- 10:51Speaker 6: he'll keep internally to feel better about himself. That he's
- 10:55Speaker 6: just like Christian vale in American Psycho. But he'll do
- 10:58Speaker 6: it better and not get caught. We know how that
- 11:01Speaker 6: worked out. These selfies are disturbing because we know that
- 11:05Speaker 6: they're not being sent to anyone. They would be disturbing
- 11:08Speaker 6: if they're being sent to someone, but.
- 11:10Speaker 1: In this case, these are for him. And so it
- 11:13Speaker 1: suggested to me that he has.
- 11:14Speaker 6: Some sort of internal dialogue going on where he's fascinated
- 11:18Speaker 6: with this idea of got.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Got to Sherry, got to Sherry. Wait, wait, I want
- 11:25Speaker 1: you to look at the screen right now. Okay, Susan Hendricks,
- 11:30Speaker 1: I'm going to get Schwartz's analysis of this. But he
- 11:33Speaker 1: is saluting the camera. Now, is this particular shot this
- 11:38Speaker 1: was taken after the murders, correct Susan Hendricks.
- 11:41Speaker 2: It absolutely was. And you see that on his knuckle
- 11:44Speaker 2: there the injury.
- 11:45Speaker 1: You know, it's almost as if just Scott speaking of
- 11:50Speaker 1: the military, he's saying job complete done and saluting.
- 11:55Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, he is offering up this half assed salute
- 11:59Speaker 4: that is doing. But what's more significant there is this
- 12:03Speaker 4: abraided area on his knuckle. Nancy, that's key. This thing
- 12:09Speaker 4: looks like it's in a state of resolve, but it's
- 12:11Speaker 4: still relatively fresh in this in this image, the edges
- 12:15Speaker 4: from my appearance, from my perspective right now is kind
- 12:18Speaker 4: of dried out. But yeah, how do you how do
- 12:21Speaker 4: you explain that? Look, we get things all the time
- 12:23Speaker 4: on our hands, people at work, you know, with their hands.
- 12:27Speaker 4: This guy's a PhD student, Nancy, and doing domainial labor,
- 12:30Speaker 4: all right, So we have to begin to think what
- 12:34Speaker 4: other kind of injuries did did he have that he
- 12:36Speaker 4: was presenting with? Did anybody else see anything else on
- 12:40Speaker 4: the surface of his skin? And you know, I begin
- 12:43Speaker 4: to think back, we've just discussed the brutality of this
- 12:47Speaker 4: multiple homicide, this butchery. He's got to have some injury somewhere.
- 12:53Speaker 4: There's something because you know, when you're using a knife
- 12:56Speaker 4: like this over and over again, you're also using I
- 13:00Speaker 4: think he used it as a bludgeon as well, where
- 13:03Speaker 4: he could flip it over and use the end of
- 13:05Speaker 4: the knife, and that's going to involve his fist. And
- 13:08Speaker 4: even if he's gloved, you're still going to get these
- 13:11Speaker 4: little injuries like that through the glove, even through a
- 13:14Speaker 4: latex glove, because there's an abraided area. There's a friction
- 13:18Speaker 4: that occurs when you strike something, and that would that would.
- 13:22Speaker 1: Potentially let me throw this to Josh colesrude. Josh Colsrud's
- 13:25Speaker 1: joining us right now, Come on, defense attorney, former US
- 13:28Speaker 1: attorney founder Coulsrud Law Offices. What do you do when
- 13:35Speaker 1: you're a client after the murders and we know he
- 13:41Speaker 1: committed the murders because he's pled guilty, there's no doubt left,
- 13:45Speaker 1: and he has on a pair it looks like black
- 13:48Speaker 1: klingy tights pull down, I would say, almost to his
- 13:54Speaker 1: pubic hair. Dare I even think of that? Okay, yeah,
- 13:59Speaker 1: thank you? With a cut to his finger, and this
- 14:04Speaker 1: is what he's doing. You know those would come into evidence.
- 14:08Speaker 1: How disgusted do you believe that your rs would be
- 14:12Speaker 1: if they had seen that? This is just part of
- 14:15Speaker 1: the evidence the prosecution hid from the victims' families before
- 14:19Speaker 1: he entered that deal behind their backs. What about it
- 14:22Speaker 1: calls rude?
- 14:23Speaker 7: Well, first off, I think we can all agree that mister.
- 14:26Speaker 8: Coberger is a cold blooded killer.
- 14:30Speaker 7: However, as a former prosecutor, looking at these selfies, you
- 14:35Speaker 7: know a selfie is not a smoking gun. In twenty
- 14:38Speaker 7: twenty five, everybody takes them. If a selfie equaled vanity,
- 14:42Speaker 7: then half of America.
- 14:43Speaker 1: Okay, wait a minute, but put him up? Put him up? Well,
- 14:49Speaker 1: where do you think you are? Do you think you're
- 14:51Speaker 1: in pre K right now? Are you a nursery school?
- 14:54Speaker 1: Look around. You can't just say something like that and
- 14:57Speaker 1: not expect to get caught on the carpet. Do you
- 14:59Speaker 1: take shirtless selfies? I'm just curious, Josh, do you stand
- 15:03Speaker 1: in front of the mirror with your pants pulled down
- 15:06Speaker 1: to your crotch and buff all up and take a
- 15:11Speaker 1: do you?
- 15:13Speaker 7: I'd like to know if I was in college and
- 15:17Speaker 7: I had an iPhone, which I didn't when I was
- 15:19Speaker 7: in college, but if I did, I'm sure that I
- 15:21Speaker 7: would have, as would all of my friends and all
- 15:24Speaker 7: of my girlfriends.
- 15:25Speaker 1: Then is that a no, you don't? As you doesn't.
- 15:30Speaker 1: I don't you take shirtless selfies where you're all like
- 15:35Speaker 1: clinched up?
- 15:36Speaker 7: You know?
- 15:37Speaker 8: I wouldn't say that. It would be unusual to do that.
- 15:41Speaker 7: You know, sometimes when you do the track of how
- 15:44Speaker 7: you look when you're working out to be like, all right,
- 15:47Speaker 7: I want to take a picture of how I look
- 15:49Speaker 7: now and compare it to myself a couple of months
- 15:52Speaker 7: from now to see if I have the improvement.
- 15:55Speaker 8: So I think that there are advantages to taking selfies.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Okay, you know, just cut the crap. Okay, you don't,
- 16:02Speaker 1: you don't McDonough help him. Chris McDonough joining me, Director
- 16:05Speaker 1: Cole Case Foundation, homicide detective who has scoured this crime scene.
- 16:10Speaker 1: He started the interview room on YouTube. Please. The point
- 16:14Speaker 1: is not a shirtless selfie. The point is he's doing
- 16:17Speaker 1: this right after the murders, right around the time of
- 16:22Speaker 1: the murders. That's where his head is. Those four students
- 16:26Speaker 1: lost their lives as part of his vanity project.
- 16:29Speaker 9: Yeah.
- 16:30Speaker 10: Absolutely, And you know, just look at the salute. The
- 16:33Speaker 10: salute is a cub scout salute. I mean he's got
- 16:37Speaker 10: two fingers put together with the injury on his hand,
- 16:40Speaker 10: and it just goes to show, you know, how empty
- 16:43Speaker 10: this guy is. There's nothing there. I mean, these pictures
- 16:47Speaker 10: look like they just came out on the movie Zoolander.
- 16:50Speaker 10: I mean, he has been projecting this persona for so
- 16:54Speaker 10: long and now the crime is finished, and now he's
- 17:00Speaker 10: trying to gain power as a result of look what
- 17:04Speaker 10: I have done. And these are disgusting, but it goes
- 17:08Speaker 10: in in concert with the type of personality he is.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Colsrud I would like to hear, although you will neither
- 17:16Speaker 1: admit or deny your own shortless selfies. That said, how
- 17:23Speaker 1: would you get that suppressed? Because you do not want
- 17:26Speaker 1: the jury to say that.
- 17:27Speaker 7: I would argue that it is unfairly prejudicial pursuant to
- 17:33Speaker 7: Rule four h three.
- 17:34Speaker 8: Rules of Evidence.
- 17:36Speaker 7: It doesn't show that he has motive, it doesn't show
- 17:41Speaker 7: that it's a confession. It's not even sent to any person.
- 17:45Speaker 7: It is solely for himself. It was found on his
- 17:48Speaker 7: phone subsequent to when after he was arrested. And if
- 17:53Speaker 7: I'm the prosecutor in the case, the only way that
- 17:56Speaker 7: I can think I could get this in would be
- 17:59Speaker 7: to show injury like you showed on his knuckles. But
- 18:03Speaker 7: the fact that he's shirtless or portrays Christian Bale and
- 18:08Speaker 7: American psycho. Unless there's some writings that he has where
- 18:12Speaker 7: he says I want to be like American psycho, and
- 18:15Speaker 7: then you can juxtapose that picture.
- 18:17Speaker 8: Maybe, but it's going to.
- 18:19Speaker 7: Be a tough sell to the judge, and I think
- 18:20Speaker 7: that would be precluded.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Hold on, Josh CALSRD, do you want a lot of cases,
- 18:25Speaker 1: But let me remind you that evs can come in
- 18:28Speaker 1: front of the jury to show motive, course of conduct,
- 18:32Speaker 1: frame of mind, intent, the mental state at the time
- 18:37Speaker 1: of the incident. These selfies will come in for that.
- 18:41Speaker 1: And as far as did he write about American Psycho,
- 18:48Speaker 1: he had a cash treasure trove of American Psycho videos
- 18:55Speaker 1: and photos, so he didn't have to write about it.
- 18:57Speaker 1: He was looking at him and doing the Lord only
- 19:00Speaker 1: what as he was looking at them. And also the
- 19:04Speaker 1: timing of these photos is very important, just before and
- 19:08Speaker 1: after the murders goes to whether the murders were sexually motivated.
- 19:16Speaker 1: We also know, don't we don't we Susan Hendrix that
- 19:21Speaker 1: found on his phone were many many searches of raping women,
- 19:26Speaker 1: having sex with women when they were comatos. That was
- 19:30Speaker 1: one of his sex fantasies. That's what he expected to
- 19:34Speaker 1: find the night he went into eleven twenty two, King wrote,
- 19:38Speaker 1: but that's not what he found and they all died.
- 19:42Speaker 1: So all of this fits together with a sex related motive,
- 19:46Speaker 1: doesn't it well?
- 19:48Speaker 2: One hundred percent? Nancy. And as we were talking about
- 19:51Speaker 2: it twenty twenty two, think about that house on King wrote,
- 19:53Speaker 2: how much fun they had They posted on social media selfies.
- 19:57Speaker 2: I believe that Brian Koberger not only stopped the students
- 20:01Speaker 2: that he killed. I believe he was stalking others. And
- 20:03Speaker 2: I believe he stopped them online too, So now is
- 20:06Speaker 2: he mimicking them now I could take selfies. I believe
- 20:09Speaker 2: he was jealous of their friendships, and I believe that's
- 20:12Speaker 2: what he was doing there Washington State. Planning this murder on.
- 20:17Speaker 11: A location of your emergency.
- 20:19Speaker 2: I don't think he's happen in our hotel.
- 20:22Speaker 11: You don't know what what is address of the emergency?
- 20:33Speaker 11: What is the rest of the address?
- 20:35Speaker 1: Oh, King two Roads, Okay?
- 20:38Speaker 11: And there's not a house for an apartment, it's a house.
- 20:42Speaker 11: Can you repeat theadress to make sure that I have
- 20:44Speaker 11: it right.
- 20:46Speaker 8: I'll talk to you guys. We're we have a delight,
- 20:49Speaker 8: so we're next to them.
- 20:51Speaker 11: I need someone to repeat the address for raification.
- 20:54Speaker 10: The address one one to two Kings.
- 20:57Speaker 1: Rugs Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 21:09Speaker 10: It's a social awkward us.
- 21:12Speaker 1: He doesn't know how to relate to other people. He's
- 21:14Speaker 1: alienated himself.
- 21:16Speaker 12: Nobody wants to be around the guy, let alone give
- 21:18Speaker 12: them their telephone number and address to be added as
- 21:21Speaker 12: a contact to his phone.
- 21:23Speaker 1: Because I don't think he feels much at all. All
- 21:26Speaker 1: the bloody clothes, the bloody ever is all gone, and
- 21:30Speaker 1: there he is songs up. Guys, I did it.
- 21:35Speaker 8: This is his dissertation.
- 21:37Speaker 1: This is what he was.
- 21:38Speaker 8: Preparing for the whole time.
- 21:40Speaker 1: This is why he was able to pull it off.
- 21:43Speaker 1: This guy Kiberger left a trail a mile wide, and
- 21:47Speaker 1: the prosecution hid all of these facts from the victims'
- 21:51Speaker 1: families and the public and then took a deal informing
- 21:56Speaker 1: them about the play deal after it had already been accepted.
- 22:01Speaker 1: And isn't it true, Josh Colesry, veteran trial lawyer, that
- 22:05Speaker 1: once a plea dealers offered and accepted, there's no going back.
- 22:09Speaker 7: Yes, once a please accepted, it is ironclad, almost no
- 22:14Speaker 7: appealable rights, except for under three circumstances. A in effective
- 22:18Speaker 7: assist as a council is one, A number two prospratorial
- 22:21Speaker 7: and misconduct, or number three a manifest injustice.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Now what we are learning is Susan Hendricks joining US
- 22:27Speaker 1: investigative journalist who has been there on the scene from
- 22:31Speaker 1: the get go. He is writing and writing and writing it.
- 22:36Speaker 1: I'm going to quote some of his writings that we've
- 22:38Speaker 1: uncovered in thousands of pages that were taken from his
- 22:42Speaker 1: Washington State apartment. The confessed killer writes at length about
- 22:48Speaker 1: how procedural injustice in the American system has produced many
- 22:54Speaker 1: false confessions quote false guilty please manifest due to a
- 22:59Speaker 1: lack of judicial oversight, blaming the judge and plea deals
- 23:04Speaker 1: that seemed to compel the defendant to enter them force
- 23:07Speaker 1: the defendant to plead guilty under oath. If defendants failed
- 23:11Speaker 1: to accept a plea bargain, he writes, prosecutors will seek
- 23:16Speaker 1: this trick discharges. Some people plead guilty to crimes they
- 23:21Speaker 1: didn't commit, as to choose the lesser of two evils.
- 23:26Speaker 1: So we've got him blaming the judge the system. Now,
- 23:30Speaker 1: he says, quote eyewitness misidentification is an issue and therefore
- 23:38Speaker 1: we need increasing video surveillance, which is interesting since he
- 23:45Speaker 1: picked a home that had no surveillance cameras. He goes
- 23:50Speaker 1: on Susan Hendrix to blame prosecutorial misconduct. He describes unethical
- 24:01Speaker 1: behavior where people played guilty when they shouldn't. Have Another
- 24:07Speaker 1: seven page single space paper we discovered refers to a
- 24:12Speaker 1: gruesome stabbing murder case. His words, not mine. Blood pulled
- 24:18Speaker 1: around the victim and was spattered on the walls and
- 24:22Speaker 1: television near the victim's body. He describes how the victim
- 24:27Speaker 1: was found, the grizzly details. He goes on and on
- 24:33Speaker 1: and on. Okay, explain to me, Susan Hendrix, this plot
- 24:41Speaker 1: revealing Coburger's alleged plans to walk free to get out
- 24:48Speaker 1: of the plea deal.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Absolutely, and I believe after reading that that he had
- 24:54Speaker 2: planned this every single day, even the plea he planned.
- 24:58Speaker 2: I believe this was all that he thought about, all
- 25:01Speaker 2: that he did. And Nancy, I listened to your heartfelt
- 25:03Speaker 2: conversation with Kelly's parents. The laughable part here is they
- 25:07Speaker 2: might have a case against the prosecutor, not Brian Coober Cober.
- 25:11Speaker 2: It's not going to work here that they were if
- 25:14Speaker 2: anything nice to him. I remember hearing the judge say, oh,
- 25:17Speaker 2: you don't have to stand up. This was during the
- 25:19Speaker 2: plead deal and it infuriated Steve Gonzalveez. So here he
- 25:22Speaker 2: doesn't have a case, but I think he was ready
- 25:24Speaker 2: for it. He was using his students to get in
- 25:26Speaker 2: their minds and think of covering everything. But they did
- 25:30Speaker 2: know what color car he was driving, and he did
- 25:32Speaker 2: leave DNA there, so it didn't work out in his favor,
- 25:36Speaker 2: but the prosecution a case against them not going to
- 25:38Speaker 2: work here.
- 25:38Speaker 1: You know, writing about procedural injustice, and this has been
- 25:44Speaker 1: uncovered now. In fact, out of thousands of pages of
- 25:48Speaker 1: documents that he kept meticulously, he is essentially hatching a
- 25:53Speaker 1: plot to get his plea is guilty pleate reversed. He
- 25:59Speaker 1: refers to to lack of judicial oversight, blaming a judge
- 26:05Speaker 1: for taking a plea that was a misguided plea. This
- 26:09Speaker 1: is a real dig to Dave Mack joining US Crime
- 26:13Speaker 1: Stories investigative reporter, a real dig at the judge claiming
- 26:19Speaker 1: prosecutorial misconduct would be overlooked by the judge. And what
- 26:24Speaker 1: about Dave matt claiming false guilty? Please, where people are
- 26:30Speaker 1: between a rock and a hard spot. If they don't
- 26:32Speaker 1: plead guilty in his case to life, then they'll get
- 26:35Speaker 1: the death penalty. So therefore, what he pled to something
- 26:37Speaker 1: he didn't do. That's what he's saying.
- 26:40Speaker 13: That's exactly what he's saying. He's laying this out there
- 26:42Speaker 13: ahead of time as to why he would plead guilty.
- 26:46Speaker 13: Eye didn't have a choice. I had to because they
- 26:49Speaker 13: told me if I didn't do this this was going
- 26:51Speaker 13: to happen. But Nancy, you pointed out something during the
- 26:55Speaker 13: hearing where the judge was actually asking very p civic questions,
- 27:01Speaker 13: and for.
- 27:01Speaker 4: Those of us who are not attorneys, we didn't.
- 27:03Speaker 13: Quite understand why the judge was going so far with
- 27:07Speaker 13: his Q and A here, And the whole point was
- 27:10Speaker 13: the judge was making sure everything that Coburger was claiming
- 27:15Speaker 13: would stick up so he couldn't come back later and
- 27:18Speaker 13: try to pull this. It was a magnificent job by
- 27:21Speaker 13: the judge in that moment, but he was obviously planning.
- 27:25Speaker 13: He was going the long game here, Nancy, from the
- 27:27Speaker 13: very beginning.
- 27:28Speaker 1: You know another thing, Guys, you were seeing the victims
- 27:32Speaker 1: that lost their lives that early early morning, in the
- 27:34Speaker 1: wee hours of the morning, when Coburger entered their home
- 27:38Speaker 1: stealthily expecting to find women asleep. We believed that he
- 27:43Speaker 1: could rape, and instead he found them up in a
- 27:46Speaker 1: live ordering door dash eating, texting, and it was literally
- 27:50Speaker 1: a bloodbath. Chris mcduonn ad joining US veteran homicide detective
- 27:55Speaker 1: and star of the Interview Room. Chris, this is what
- 27:59Speaker 1: I would always do, and I mean for every single
- 28:02Speaker 1: guilty plea I ever took. I'd swear the defendant end
- 28:09Speaker 1: under oath on the Bible and make them state. I
- 28:14Speaker 1: would ask questions to which they would respond, And one
- 28:17Speaker 1: of them, after I swore them in, was are you
- 28:20Speaker 1: entering a guilty plea today too, let's just pretend murder. Yes,
- 28:27Speaker 1: And have you been promised anything or threatened with anything
- 28:32Speaker 1: in order for you to plead guilty today? And they
- 28:35Speaker 1: would go no. And then I would say, are you
- 28:39Speaker 1: pleading guilty of your own free will without any hope
- 28:45Speaker 1: of gain? Has anybody threatened you coerced you to plead
- 28:51Speaker 1: guilty today? And then they would answer no, So then
- 28:55Speaker 1: they're under oath. I did not hear that happen during
- 28:59Speaker 1: this guilty plea? Is I mean this? If this didn't happen,
- 29:03Speaker 1: I mean everybody in the county jail would walk free
- 29:07Speaker 1: because they would say, oh, I was afraid I would
- 29:09Speaker 1: get a worse sentence if I went to trial. I
- 29:11Speaker 1: really didn't do it.
- 29:12Speaker 14: Totals yeah, absolutely, Nancy, And I recall you, you know,
- 29:16Speaker 14: saying exactly that when he didn't tell the story and
- 29:21Speaker 14: the court let him, you know, just basically, you know,
- 29:25Speaker 14: go to jail, go to prison.
- 29:26Speaker 10: But here here's a really other interesting thought to dovetail
- 29:30Speaker 10: in to what you're saying here. If we go back
- 29:32Speaker 10: to those pictures just for a minute, just to think
- 29:35Speaker 10: about the duality of this guy's personality.
- 29:37Speaker 8: And look at the.
- 29:38Speaker 10: One where he's at the lake where he's in the shirt,
- 29:41Speaker 10: and you look at the mountain range behind him.
- 29:44Speaker 1: You know, you know what that mountain range is.
- 29:46Speaker 10: That's Mount Ravery Neerk And he who's famous that one
- 29:51Speaker 10: right there, who's famous for that area, Ted Bundy. And
- 29:55Speaker 10: if we take a look at his phone and the
- 29:58Speaker 10: obsession that he had with serial killing. And there's another
- 30:02Speaker 10: one here where there's a rock behind him in one
- 30:06Speaker 10: side he's studying right there that one. Look at the
- 30:08Speaker 10: right rock. It says slus. This guy hates women. So
- 30:14Speaker 10: in one part of his personality he's projecting in his
- 30:18Speaker 10: public persona, Hey, I'm going to try to get out
- 30:21Speaker 10: of this. And the second real part in his hidden
- 30:25Speaker 10: personality is I'm going to kill women.
- 30:28Speaker 1: You know what, Chris mcdonoy, You just put chills down
- 30:31Speaker 1: my spine to think this guy walking around amongst all
- 30:35Speaker 1: those beautiful young co eds. I mean, it was just hunting.
- 30:41Speaker 1: They were his prey and now, these writings found in
- 30:45Speaker 1: one of his essays show he knows how to go
- 30:49Speaker 1: about getting a guilty plea overturned. He does, He's researched it,
- 30:56Speaker 1: he's written about it. And believe you me, Josh Colesrude,
- 31:01Speaker 1: former assistant US attorney now criminal defense attorney. Josh. You
- 31:07Speaker 1: can blood, sweat and tears, you can give it all
- 31:12Speaker 1: to your client. But then when they're behind bars, you
- 31:16Speaker 1: go on about your life. You go to your next client,
- 31:19Speaker 1: and they're sitting there, gnashing their teeth and twisting their tail.
- 31:23Speaker 1: All they have to think about behind bars is how
- 31:26Speaker 1: am I going to get out of here? How am
- 31:29Speaker 1: I going to get that plea reversed? That is what
- 31:32Speaker 1: he is doing right now. And it doesn't matter how
- 31:36Speaker 1: hard you worked or what a great job you did,
- 31:39Speaker 1: you will go right down the crapper. You will. The
- 31:42Speaker 1: attorney will be sacrificed with an ineffective assistance of counsel.
- 31:46Speaker 1: And I heard Chris mcdonna state the judge let this
- 31:50Speaker 1: plea happen. Well, yes he did, but you know you
- 31:53Speaker 1: can't really stop a blind plea. But it was the
- 31:56Speaker 1: prosecutor's duty to ask those questions, make sure they were
- 32:00Speaker 1: asked put the defense under oath and make sure he
- 32:04Speaker 1: was pleading by his own volition, not out of fear,
- 32:07Speaker 1: threat or coercion. But isn't it true clients, no matter
- 32:11Speaker 1: what you do for them, they will claim ineffective assistance
- 32:15Speaker 1: of counsel to get out of jail. That's all he's
- 32:18Speaker 1: thinking about right now. Cole's rude.
- 32:20Speaker 8: That's absolutely correct.
- 32:21Speaker 7: The most common appeal from a plea agreement is the IAC,
- 32:26Speaker 7: the ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
- 32:29Speaker 8: And what he has to.
- 32:31Speaker 7: Show is that his lawyer missed something that was very obvious.
- 32:37Speaker 7: It was a standard deviation from what was expected. And
- 32:41Speaker 7: here I think he's going to have some difficulty because
- 32:45Speaker 7: his attorney did a great job of getting him out
- 32:49Speaker 7: of the death penalty. You know, that was the attorney's
- 32:52Speaker 7: main motivation at the time. Also, mister Coberger under oath
- 32:58Speaker 7: admitted to these So I think that his angle right
- 33:03Speaker 7: here is going to be prosecutorial misconduct. He's going to
- 33:07Speaker 7: say that the prosecutor hid evidence, that the prosecutor used
- 33:11Speaker 7: controversial DNA technology IgG technology that was illegal, and I
- 33:19Speaker 7: think that's.
- 33:19Speaker 8: Going to be where his angle is going to be
- 33:21Speaker 8: in this case.
- 33:22Speaker 1: The plea deal, the infamous plea deal taken by the
- 33:26Speaker 1: prosecutor after so much evidence, so many facts were hidden
- 33:32Speaker 1: from the families. Coburger as we go to air tonight, plotting, scheming, planning,
- 33:38Speaker 1: a way to get that plea reversed. What were they hiding.
- 33:43Speaker 9: Just telling us our child was stabbed brutally?
- 33:47Speaker 10: You know how many times?
- 33:48Speaker 5: How many times? We just learned the day of or
- 33:52Speaker 5: the day before the sentencing, how many times Kailee had
- 33:55Speaker 5: been stabbed.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Wait a minute, I am stunned because she was stabbed
- 34:00Speaker 1: so many times they could not identify her, and you
- 34:06Speaker 1: just learned about that when the plea was set to
- 34:09Speaker 1: go down.
- 34:12Speaker 5: We learned about it after the plea the day before
- 34:14Speaker 5: the sentence seing guys should.
- 34:16Speaker 9: Have been touched in the face. He was a creep
- 34:17Speaker 9: and he's a disgusting creeple he is a creep.
- 34:20Speaker 1: State away from him, anti woman, misogynist, stalking behavior thirteen
- 34:27Speaker 1: and flanks where he would intimidate for stalk female students,
- 34:32Speaker 1: and so much more. Tonight, are their more victims emerging?
- 34:39Speaker 1: If we're hearing about these victims, how many other victims
- 34:43Speaker 1: are out there? And what is the severity of what
- 34:46Speaker 1: happened to them? Joining me in allstar peal makes sense
- 34:49Speaker 1: of what we are learning to. Women tell police they
- 34:53Speaker 1: suspect Coburger was stalking them while he was at Washington
- 34:58Speaker 1: State University. Straight out to Susan Hendrix, these women state
- 35:03Speaker 1: that they spotted Coburger at their employment over and over
- 35:08Speaker 1: and over, to the point other coworkers would warn them,
- 35:12Speaker 1: he's here, he's here. Then one of them goes home.
- 35:17Speaker 1: She is semi nude changing clothes, and someone comes to
- 35:22Speaker 1: her window and either taps on the window or hits
- 35:25Speaker 1: the window, and she realizes someone's watching her. And I'm
- 35:29Speaker 1: going to go to you in just a second, Chris McDonough,
- 35:32Speaker 1: that's Chris mcdonna. I have and I have looked at
- 35:34Speaker 1: the scene over and over, and that's exactly what Coburger
- 35:37Speaker 1: was doing here, and he had a great vantage point
- 35:39Speaker 1: to stare into the girl's bedroom windows. But not only that.
- 35:42Speaker 1: One of them has a husband, and during one of
- 35:45Speaker 1: these stalking episodes, the husband comes home and sees a
- 35:48Speaker 1: white car speeding away similar to Brian Coburger's. So we
- 35:54Speaker 1: know there are other victims. Tell me about these two.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Yeah, there is a clear pattern here. One of the
- 35:59Speaker 2: students worked at the university bookstore. He went in. She
- 36:04Speaker 2: never gave him her name, and he called her by name.
- 36:07Speaker 2: He was obviously looking into who she was and would
- 36:10Speaker 2: just stare at her. Another one worked in the criminology department,
- 36:14Speaker 2: and she said she caught eye contact with him out
- 36:16Speaker 2: of her window, which means he was staring directly in.
- 36:19Speaker 2: She ran and hid in the bathroom. She even went
- 36:22Speaker 2: to Brian Coberger and said, I'm Leslian, there's nothing that's
- 36:25Speaker 2: going to happen here. Didn't deter him. This was happening
- 36:28Speaker 2: over and over again, and I believe he was looking
- 36:31Speaker 2: for someone to murder and he found that sadly on
- 36:34Speaker 2: King Road. But I remember Steve Gonzalez telling you, Nancy,
- 36:37Speaker 2: that there were red flags everywhere with this guy, thirteen
- 36:40Speaker 2: incidents that they knew.
- 36:41Speaker 1: Of, and the school, Washington State did nothing. Could you retail.
- 36:45Speaker 1: Very slowly they encounter where the woman, the victim, saw
- 36:51Speaker 1: him looking at her through the window and she ran
- 36:55Speaker 1: and hid in the bathroom.
- 36:56Speaker 2: Yeah, she was in the classroom and she could feel,
- 36:59Speaker 2: you know when you feel someone kind of staring at you,
- 37:01Speaker 2: and looked at him, made eye contact looking out the window.
- 37:04Speaker 2: And she said the only way that that would occur
- 37:08Speaker 2: is if he was looking directly where she was. I
- 37:11Speaker 2: believe she was the target here. Then she sees him
- 37:14Speaker 2: come in the building and she runs and hides in
- 37:16Speaker 2: the bathroom. That's how threatening she thought he was, that
- 37:20Speaker 2: she had to hide. There are people, Maybe you don't
- 37:22Speaker 2: want to see it work. And he said, oh, you
- 37:24Speaker 2: don't run and hide in the bathroom. And you mentioned
- 37:28Speaker 2: the husband. There were footprints up to that window, and
- 37:31Speaker 2: she said it was clear, or her husband said it
- 37:34Speaker 2: was clear. That he kind of backed away because there
- 37:36Speaker 2: was only one set of footprints. And one of the
- 37:39Speaker 2: women said this, Nancy, it's so pressing that nothing seemed
- 37:42Speaker 2: to deter him. He wasn't bothered by.
- 37:44Speaker 1: Rejection crime stories with Nancy Gray Dotter Sherry Schwartz joining
- 37:56Speaker 1: US forensic psychologist author Offware, a law and psychology intersect,
- 38:02Speaker 1: Doctor Sherry, I've had so many cases. This is anik Jodel.
- 38:08Speaker 1: I don't have a statistic where it would be. I'd
- 38:11Speaker 1: be prosecuting a rape or a murder, maybe a serial rape,
- 38:16Speaker 1: and I would look back in the suspect's history, way
- 38:19Speaker 1: back way back. I would find peeping tom and it
- 38:25Speaker 1: happens so often that I started talking to people in
- 38:27Speaker 1: the office, you know, the few people that I confided
- 38:30Speaker 1: in there. Have you noticed that so many of these
- 38:34Speaker 1: murder perps and or rape perpse have been peeping Tom's
- 38:39Speaker 1: It's just the beginning. That's one thing I want to
- 38:42Speaker 1: throw at you, But first I want to explore what
- 38:44Speaker 1: Susan Hendricks just said. Gosh, this is reminding me so
- 38:49Speaker 1: much a trying cases, because before I would put say
- 38:51Speaker 1: you on the stand, I would meet with you ad
- 38:54Speaker 1: nauseum to figure out what it all meant. When someone
- 39:00Speaker 1: a grown lady young in her twenties, but still a
- 39:04Speaker 1: grown lady runs and hides. This woman is not fanciful.
- 39:11Speaker 1: She's got a job, she's going to school, she's running household.
- 39:15Speaker 1: She ran and hid from Coburger. She ran in the bathroom,
- 39:19Speaker 1: shut the door and locked it. That's an instinct. That's
- 39:24Speaker 1: why we are alive today, because we have instincts and
- 39:28Speaker 1: we act on them. Why did this young lady see
- 39:34Speaker 1: Coburger and run and hide in the bathroom.
- 39:37Speaker 6: Well, she either had prior interactions with him, or saw
- 39:42Speaker 6: him around, or something about that particular interaction, which is
- 39:47Speaker 6: completely nonverbal. Something told her her instinct, her fight or
- 39:51Speaker 6: flight response said flee, get out, go hide. This is
- 39:55Speaker 6: somebody who has the potential to cause you danger and
- 39:59Speaker 6: these are things that she and be underestimated when people
- 40:01Speaker 6: have reactions like that.
- 40:02Speaker 1: And of course, just Cole's rude, your veteran trial lawyer,
- 40:06Speaker 1: this incident may or may not have come into trial
- 40:10Speaker 1: as a similar transaction, but it speaks to me. It
- 40:15Speaker 1: means something to me that this woman, other women were
- 40:19Speaker 1: so instinctively afraid of coburger they would hide. Just wait
- 40:27Speaker 1: till I tell you about what a mother hen did
- 40:30Speaker 1: in the criminal procedure department at WSU. Just wait, you're
- 40:36Speaker 1: gonna freak. But that means something. But it would never
- 40:39Speaker 1: have come into evidence, would it? In a nutshell calls rude?
- 40:42Speaker 8: Well, and you're absolutely right, Nancy.
- 40:45Speaker 7: In violent cases, judges do allow sometimes some type of
- 40:52Speaker 7: character evidence. And what this could show is a pattern
- 40:57Speaker 7: or a pattern evidence that could go towards motive later on,
- 41:02Speaker 7: that this defendant was learning how to be a predator.
- 41:07Speaker 7: He was learning how to case female victims, how to
- 41:13Speaker 7: hide his tracks, how to target certain female victims. However,
- 41:19Speaker 7: the evidence has cannot be unserved for judicial which is
- 41:26Speaker 7: what the argument would be in this case.
- 41:28Speaker 12: A Washington State University faculty member says her maternal instinct
- 41:32Speaker 12: took over when she wouldn't allow a female student to
- 41:35Speaker 12: be left alone in an office on campus with Coburger.
- 41:38Speaker 12: She keeps herself busy until he left, and says it
- 41:40Speaker 12: wasn't anything specific about his behavior that prompted a response,
- 41:44Speaker 12: it was just a feeling she had at the time.
- 41:47Speaker 12: After Coberger left, she told the student to email her
- 41:50Speaker 12: with the subject line nine to one one if she
- 41:52Speaker 12: ever needed help.
- 41:54Speaker 1: J Scott Morgan joining US Professor Forensics, Chanital State University.
- 41:58Speaker 1: A faculty was so concerned about Coburger stalking this particular
- 42:04Speaker 1: and I've got look at this. All of these are
- 42:08Speaker 1: other instances of him scaring women, but this one. A
- 42:12Speaker 1: faculty member was so concerned that she told the girl
- 42:16Speaker 1: just text me nine on one if he comes back.
- 42:19Speaker 1: Look that is grounded in something. All of these women
- 42:22Speaker 1: are not hysterical. And you remember that other home invasion
- 42:27Speaker 1: they have not yet attributed to Coburger, which leads me too,
- 42:31Speaker 1: this is not a quantum leap of faith. What else
- 42:34Speaker 1: is out there? What else is out there?
- 42:38Speaker 4: Nancy? I'm in my twenty first year of academia this year.
- 42:41Speaker 4: And let me tell you something. When you're in an environment,
- 42:45Speaker 4: in an academic environment, and you have freshmen that are
- 42:47Speaker 4: coming in, returning sophomores, juniors, and certainly those that are
- 42:51Speaker 4: about to graduate, they are the most vulnerable when it
- 42:55Speaker 4: comes to a faculty member. And look, I know he
- 42:58Speaker 4: was a TA, but he's been given charge over these individuals,
- 43:02Speaker 4: over these students, to instruct them. Nancy, I submit to
- 43:06Speaker 4: you that this whole game about the PhD thing, this
- 43:11Speaker 4: is a means to an end. He saw this as
- 43:13Speaker 4: shooting fish in a barrel because he knew that he
- 43:16Speaker 4: would have instantaneous access to some of the most vulnerable people,
- 43:21Speaker 4: those that want a degree, those that want to be
- 43:23Speaker 4: successful in the university. He could do and say anything
- 43:27Speaker 4: to them because he perceived himself as having power. And
- 43:30Speaker 4: it's a terrible situation to send your kids to the
- 43:35Speaker 4: university and have a monster like this in this environment.
- 43:40Speaker 4: And let me tell you one more thing if you
- 43:41Speaker 4: like that one. I think that WSU got hoodwinked into
- 43:46Speaker 4: hiring this guy. That's what I really think. I don't
- 43:48Speaker 4: think they did a deep dive on his background at all.
- 43:52Speaker 4: And you know, you think about the position that this
- 43:56Speaker 4: university put these kids in because they gave him charge
- 44:01Speaker 4: over these kids. Hadn't it Hadn't it ever struck you
- 44:05Speaker 4: as odd that he didn't get along with his supervisors.
- 44:08Speaker 4: You know why, because his purpose was not to be
- 44:10Speaker 4: there as an academic. His purpose was to be there
- 44:14Speaker 4: as a predator, Nancy, you know.
- 44:16Speaker 1: Following up on that, Chris McDonough joining me, former homicide detective.
- 44:20Speaker 1: I don't know if you or if anybody on the
- 44:22Speaker 1: panel ever had this experience, but over and over and
- 44:25Speaker 1: over and over, I would see cases that had morphed,
- 44:28Speaker 1: had graduated into rape, serial rate and or murder where
- 44:33Speaker 1: it all started with a freak peeping Tom. He would
- 44:36Speaker 1: be a Peeping Tom and it would be dismissed. Peeping
- 44:38Speaker 1: Tom paid twenty five dollars Peeping Tom order violation, citation,
- 44:42Speaker 1: and it would go suddenly. It would be more and
- 44:46Speaker 1: more serious until it culminated and landed as an indictment
- 44:49Speaker 1: on my desk to prosecute. Have you ever noticed that
- 44:52Speaker 1: starting with Peeping Tom?
- 44:53Speaker 10: Yeah, absolutely, that voyeurism in of itself is the fuel
- 44:59Speaker 10: that helped fan the fantasy. And remember Nancy when we
- 45:05Speaker 10: were there. And if you look at this, I mean,
- 45:07Speaker 10: this picture right here tells us everything we need to know.
- 45:10Speaker 10: The intensity of this particular picture. This is the intensity
- 45:15Speaker 10: that he is operating with while voyeurism. And if we
- 45:19Speaker 10: think about the fuel that he is now operating on,
- 45:23Speaker 10: it's all of that intense non consensual pornography. And think
- 45:28Speaker 10: about that him sitting in the backyard of those four kids'
- 45:33Speaker 10: house and has a fish bowl type of view. And
- 45:39Speaker 10: that's why I have always been fascinated by that one
- 45:42Speaker 10: cylinder block underneath the window of the back bedroom at
- 45:47Speaker 10: that house. I saw him in my mind through my experience,
- 45:52Speaker 10: just sitting there and just waiting for those kids to
- 45:55Speaker 10: fall asleep and then his fantasy starts to play out,
- 46:00Speaker 10: because that's what was driving him.
- 46:01Speaker 1: And you're right, Chris mcdonah, he wanted sleeping slash comatose
- 46:05Speaker 1: women to rate based on his own computer searches. All
- 46:12Speaker 1: of this kept away from the victim's family. This and
- 46:16Speaker 1: more tonight Coburger behind bars plotting his jailhouse exit. Legally,
- 46:26Speaker 1: listen to what Steve and Christy gounsolve Is say about
- 46:30Speaker 1: this plea deal.
- 46:31Speaker 9: For me, it was outrage because my daughter was fighting
- 46:33Speaker 9: up to her very last breath.
- 46:35Speaker 1: Over and over.
- 46:35Speaker 9: She kept trying to get out of that bed and
- 46:37Speaker 9: he was just drilling her. And she's fighting for her
- 46:41Speaker 9: last breath. And I got this old Santa Claus who's
- 46:44Speaker 9: just thrown out of White Towl, just saying, oh, let's
- 46:46Speaker 9: just make it all go away.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Nancy Gray signing off, goodbye friend,
