- 0:44Speaker 5: When those prison doors slams shot behind you. I hope
- 0:47Speaker 5: that sound echoes in your heart for the rest of
- 0:49Speaker 5: your meaningless days.
- 1:03Speaker 6: On the evening of November twelfth and into the early
- 1:06Speaker 6: morning hours of November thirteenth, Kaylee and Madison arrived home
- 1:11Speaker 6: at approximately one forty five am after visiting a local
- 1:15Speaker 6: bar and a street food vendor. Ethan and Xana were
- 1:19Speaker 6: also out in the community at Sigma Chai, and they
- 1:23Speaker 6: arrived home at approximately one AM. Two surviving roommates who
- 1:28Speaker 6: were also at in the community arrived home at approximately
- 1:32Speaker 6: one AM.
- 1:33Speaker 7: Now we're getting a peak at what was happening in
- 1:37Speaker 7: those early morning hours around.
- 1:39Speaker 4: Four a m.
- 1:40Speaker 7: So far we know they were all out really late,
- 1:44Speaker 7: some of them in a group.
- 1:45Speaker 4: They were at a food truck.
- 1:47Speaker 7: Everybody at that food truck and standing in the group
- 1:51Speaker 7: fell under suspicion.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I recall there was a guy in the distance.
- 1:56Speaker 7: All these people were tracked down and questioned.
- 2:02Speaker 4: See the guy on the riot kind of standing away.
- 2:05Speaker 4: He was found.
- 2:06Speaker 7: He was everybody was found and questioned. So we know
- 2:12Speaker 7: they were at a food truck Super super early.
- 2:16Speaker 4: In the morning.
- 2:17Speaker 7: I'm talking one, two, three am. We know they went home.
- 2:21Speaker 7: We know some of them ordered like Uber eats. These
- 2:26Speaker 7: are the last known images of some of the victims,
- 2:32Speaker 7: and this became an evidentiary football at the beginning of
- 2:38Speaker 7: the investigation, as LA law enforcement tried to track their
- 2:42Speaker 7: last movements and who they would have come in contact with.
- 2:46Speaker 7: They go home, then naysayers immediately began vilifying Dylan and
- 2:52Speaker 7: Bethany because they quote waited to call nine to one one.
- 2:59Speaker 7: But I want you to see the text conversation between
- 3:03Speaker 7: Dylan and Bethany.
- 3:06Speaker 8: No one is answering. I'm really confused right now.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, what the Xana was wearing all black?
- 3:12Speaker 8: I'm freaking out right now. No, it's like a ski mask.
- 3:16Speaker 8: Almost shut the f up. Actually, like he had something
- 3:20Speaker 8: over his forehead and mouth. Bethany, I'm not kidding. I'm
- 3:24Speaker 8: so freaked out. So a mine, my phone is going
- 3:26Speaker 8: to die.
- 3:27Speaker 1: Come to my room, run down here.
- 3:30Speaker 8: I'm screwed though, Yeah, I know, but it's better than
- 3:32Speaker 8: being alone.
- 3:33Speaker 7: Sidney Sumner joining me Crime Stories investigative reporter Sydney Let's
- 3:38Speaker 7: put this into context. Of course, the cell phone data
- 3:42Speaker 7: experts are going to know exactly what time these texts
- 3:46Speaker 7: were going back and forth between them. Dylan Mortenson's phone
- 3:49Speaker 7: was dying and Bethany was trying to coax Heart to
- 3:54Speaker 7: run to her room. Can you imagine running from room
- 3:58Speaker 7: to room knowing that there's an intruder or thinking there's
- 4:03Speaker 7: an intruder in the home. Tell me what you've gleaned
- 4:07Speaker 7: about these text messages, Sidney Nancy.
- 4:10Speaker 3: I think these text messages are between two terrified co
- 4:14Speaker 3: eds who don't know what's going on and have been
- 4:18Speaker 3: out all night partying, drinking. So unfortunately they are not
- 4:22Speaker 3: sober at this point. And their house is known to
- 4:27Speaker 3: have sometimes strangers in it. They throw parties often, they
- 4:31Speaker 3: have a lot of friends. There's five people living there,
- 4:35Speaker 3: so in terms of having a stranger in the house,
- 4:39Speaker 3: that's not super uncommon for them. And even if this
- 4:42Speaker 3: person was not somebody they recognized and fruit them out,
- 4:47Speaker 3: they might not immediately call nine to one one, not
- 4:51Speaker 3: knowing whether or not this is someone who is supposed
- 4:53Speaker 3: to be there at that point.
- 4:56Speaker 6: On the morning of November thirteenth, at eleven fifty eight am,
- 5:01Speaker 6: a nine call was placed the call reported an unconscious person.
- 5:07Speaker 6: The call originated from inside the residence and the surviving
- 5:11Speaker 6: roommates cell phone was used.
- 5:14Speaker 9: On location of your emergency.
- 5:16Speaker 10: Something is happening to you don't know what?
- 5:20Speaker 9: What is the address of the emergency? What is the
- 5:31Speaker 9: rest of the address?

- 9:40Speaker 7: Doddies Sydney. What we're hearing is the officer who arrives
- 9:45Speaker 7: at the scene. There are four people standing outside. Let's
- 9:49Speaker 7: see the video. The group is huddled outside and we
- 9:56Speaker 7: hear the officer speaking to the friend hunter Johnson, and
- 10:01Speaker 7: Johnson is saying, up here, up here, I just came
- 10:03Speaker 7: to check in here and this is what I found.
- 10:05Speaker 7: I checked to see if she's breathing, and she's I
- 10:09Speaker 7: think this is going to be not I didn't check
- 10:12Speaker 7: him yet, referring to Ethan. Then you hear a Moscow
- 10:16Speaker 7: first responder state looks like dead bodies.
- 10:20Speaker 3: Yes, this is the absolute first response to this home
- 10:26Speaker 3: after getting that nine to.
- 10:27Speaker 17: One one call.
- 10:28Speaker 3: And during that call, the girls in the house try
- 10:32Speaker 3: to explain what happened that they think they saw someone
- 10:36Speaker 3: at four am, but the officer, the dispatcher, just wants
- 10:40Speaker 3: to know exactly who they can try and help. So
- 10:44Speaker 3: immediately after we see what we saw in the cut
- 10:47Speaker 3: that just played, EMT's start rushing up to the house,
- 10:52Speaker 3: and this officer who was the first on scene, who
- 10:55Speaker 3: first went to check on everything, he has to stop
- 10:58Speaker 3: this group of twenty five ants that show up to
- 11:01Speaker 3: the house and say, you know, we don't think we
- 11:04Speaker 3: need your services.
- 11:06Speaker 16: Nobody's allowed to leave for now. Okay, just stay here
- 11:10Speaker 16: for me, please.
- 11:22Speaker 2: Do you know they here?
- 11:30Speaker 16: Can you guys go over to the dumpster for me?
- 11:33Speaker 22: Please let me secure the outside first?
- 11:52Speaker 2: Who is there's a backgand try I'll gonna start taking
- 11:59Speaker 2: it all off. Seeing outside off okay.
- 12:05Speaker 16: Already, doesn't I gotten there?
- 12:06Speaker 2: Shut the dog in there.
- 12:10Speaker 7: You hear the officer trying to secure it, saying, I've
- 12:15Speaker 7: got to I got to right here, talking about two
- 12:19Speaker 7: dead bodies, I got two right here.
- 12:22Speaker 1: Already.
- 12:24Speaker 7: The house is clear. In other words, the suspect's not there.
- 12:27Speaker 7: There's not a life suspect there. The house is clear
- 12:30Speaker 7: to walk through. And they shut the dog, which is
- 12:34Speaker 7: common because you don't know when the dog is gonna
- 12:37Speaker 7: go crazy to start biting. You shut the dog in there.
- 12:40Speaker 7: I'm curious where he shut the dog. But before I
- 12:43Speaker 7: analyze that, I want you to hear more from the survivors.
- 12:48Speaker 4: This is Dylan Morton's Listen, all right, what do.
- 12:50Speaker 16: You remember you're saying? We started?
- 12:52Speaker 11: I remember I was in my room and I trying
- 12:55Speaker 11: to go to bed, and they heard Kelley, who I'm
- 12:59Speaker 11: so bad?
- 12:59Speaker 16: Look real fast, Which one is your room?
- 13:02Speaker 3: Her?
- 13:03Speaker 16: Which one is your room?
- 13:04Speaker 12: Oh?
- 13:05Speaker 16: Room? Are you in here? You were in that room?
- 13:08Speaker 12: My room is in this room?
- 13:10Speaker 16: My room and your room. Here's the best one right hand?
- 13:13Speaker 11: Is that one second floor?
- 13:18Speaker 16: Okay?
- 13:20Speaker 12: All I heard was I heard hed go.
- 13:22Speaker 11: Upstairs and okay, I'm gonna go to seat now.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Because she's going upstairs.
- 13:25Speaker 16: Heard who go upstairs?
- 13:26Speaker 11: Kaylee and the dog Murphy.
- 13:29Speaker 16: And upstairs to the very top.
- 13:31Speaker 11: Yeah, that's where her room is.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Sydney.
- 13:34Speaker 7: What is probative about that body camp we just showed.
- 13:40Speaker 7: What does this prove, Sydney.
- 13:43Speaker 3: So first we have to get in her mind that
- 13:46Speaker 3: the entire time Dylan insists Haylee went upstairs, Kaylee screamed,
- 13:52Speaker 3: Kaylee ran down the stairs, And the officer even points
- 13:56Speaker 3: this out later he says to another officer she somehow
- 14:01Speaker 3: knows she was somehow able to discern this with Kaylee.
- 14:05Speaker 3: But we don't think that's actually true. So we have
- 14:08Speaker 3: to think about the layout of the house. So Kaylee
- 14:11Speaker 3: and Maddie were asleep upstairs. Xanna's room was on the
- 14:15Speaker 3: second floor, where Dylan's room was. So the only thing
- 14:18Speaker 3: that makes sense for somebody to have ran down those
- 14:21Speaker 3: stairs is Xanna, not Kaylee, not Maddie. So we have
- 14:27Speaker 3: to get that in our heads as we're listening to
- 14:29Speaker 3: Dylan's recollection of events. But it just proves to me
- 14:34Speaker 3: that someone was there. These women are correct, someone was
- 14:39Speaker 3: in their house.
- 14:40Speaker 7: So do you think at the time when we think
- 14:44Speaker 7: Kelly was saying Hey, I'm gonna go to bed.
- 14:46Speaker 4: I'm gonna go to sleep.
- 14:48Speaker 7: Do you think he was already in the house, because
- 14:51Speaker 7: now I believe that he was already in there waiting
- 14:55Speaker 7: for them to go to sleep.
- 14:56Speaker 4: I don't think that they all went to their beds
- 14:58Speaker 4: and then he snuck in with you.
- 15:00Speaker 3: And we also learned later that Maddie was the last
- 15:04Speaker 3: person to take Murphy out. So Mattie checks in with
- 15:08Speaker 3: Dylan and bethany one more time. Hey, I lost Murphy.
- 15:12Speaker 3: I can't get him to come inside. Is he with
- 15:14Speaker 3: either of y'all? She's looking for the dog. So again,
- 15:18Speaker 3: this dog who they described for weeks was on edge
- 15:22Speaker 3: before the murders, who was constantly going off into the
- 15:25Speaker 3: woods and wouldn't come back when called, just acting very
- 15:29Speaker 3: very oddly, does the same thing this night when they're
- 15:33Speaker 3: taking him out for the last time. So I'm kind
- 15:36Speaker 3: of feeling like someone was watching as they took the
- 15:39Speaker 3: dog out for the very last time, and maybe snuck
- 15:43Speaker 3: in just behind them as they brought the dog in.
- 15:46Speaker 11: And then ultimately we're looking up. I heard her scream
- 15:48Speaker 11: and she ran downstairs because she saw someone. That's what
- 15:52Speaker 11: I'm pretty sure she said. She one's here and she's
- 15:55Speaker 11: screamed and just randomn stairs and I called for a name,
- 15:58Speaker 11: but they jumped up and locked my door close.
- 15:59Speaker 2: So scared.
- 16:02Speaker 11: And then and I heard someone in the bathroom when
- 16:04Speaker 11: I heard her crying, and I heard some guys say
- 16:06Speaker 11: that you're gonna be okay. I'm gonna help you. And
- 16:08Speaker 11: I kept calling your name, but she wasn't answering. And
- 16:11Speaker 11: then I opened the door for a second and I
- 16:13Speaker 11: saw this guy and he was not insanely told, but
- 16:16Speaker 11: he's doing all black and like this mask. I was
- 16:18Speaker 11: just covering his.
- 16:19Speaker 12: Forehead and his mouth.
- 16:21Speaker 11: And I walked the door and I called, and I
- 16:23Speaker 11: didn't know what to do.
- 16:25Speaker 16: Yes, you left here.
- 16:26Speaker 11: I left my room down to bed and she's that
- 16:29Speaker 11: went with the white wine at the very bottom. I
- 16:32Speaker 11: run do there and we talked and I just just
- 16:34Speaker 11: locked the door.
- 16:34Speaker 12: Wouldn't think anything of it.
- 16:35Speaker 11: We're like, nothing happens in Moscow.
- 16:37Speaker 1: So we just like tried to go to bed.
- 16:38Speaker 11: And then we woke up, and it was weird because
- 16:41Speaker 11: none of our roommates were up and we called all
- 16:43Speaker 11: of them. They were not waking up, and so mean,
- 16:45Speaker 11: like this is weird. So I called and come over
- 16:49Speaker 11: and then that's all this happened with me. Say that
- 16:56Speaker 11: boy right there is the girl in there.
- 17:01Speaker 16: It's the girl that Okay, how do you spoke her name?
- 17:05Speaker 12: I mean x A n A.
- 17:09Speaker 16: Do you know she has a middle name Alexis I think?
- 17:12Speaker 16: Do you know what her last name is?
- 17:13Speaker 1: Pronodle kay and Ernestole?
- 17:15Speaker 12: Really Kate, you know r n O d l k
- 17:20Speaker 12: a E r a e r O k E r
- 17:23Speaker 12: n O n O l d l e.
- 17:27Speaker 16: Okay, excite n A x A n A Okay, Neves
- 17:33Speaker 16: in there.
- 17:33Speaker 11: He's actually everybody's.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Here all the time.
- 17:36Speaker 16: He is a Mallett lives here and he doesn't actually
- 17:39Speaker 16: as the Indusiana. I believe he is right now, but
- 17:41Speaker 16: he doesn't.
- 17:42Speaker 2: He doesn't live. Everybody's here a lot.
- 17:45Speaker 11: And then there's Maddy Mogan and Kayley up top.
- 17:50Speaker 2: I don't know where they're at.
- 17:51Speaker 9: Mit.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Describe the guy that you tall.
- 17:54Speaker 11: I don't think he was. He was a little bit
- 17:55Speaker 11: taller than me and I couldn't really see much of him.
- 18:02Speaker 2: But she's I'm almost positive.
- 18:04Speaker 11: He's bringing a slow back outfit. And he had this
- 18:07Speaker 11: mask that let's just go for his forehead and over
- 18:10Speaker 11: his nose, and he didn't say anything.
- 18:11Speaker 16: To me, like at all.
- 18:13Speaker 11: I just shut the door and locked it because I
- 18:14Speaker 11: didn't know what to do. And I think he went
- 18:17Speaker 11: out like the side door, the sliding door in the
- 18:19Speaker 11: kitchen that goes up to the backyard.
- 18:22Speaker 12: And then I didn't know anything else.
- 18:24Speaker 11: I called, you know, I was like, I just can't
- 18:25Speaker 11: come downstairs and find because I don't know.
- 18:27Speaker 16: Where anyone else is.
- 18:28Speaker 11: And I called Maddie. I called Danna. I called Katie.
- 18:30Speaker 7: No answer.
- 18:31Speaker 12: I heard her scream and run like run.
- 18:33Speaker 11: As fast as she could downstairs, and she said someone's here.
- 18:38Speaker 12: She yes, I could hear you can hear everything.
- 18:40Speaker 11: I'm not sure. I heard her run downstairs fast, and
- 18:45Speaker 11: then I heard Murphy barking a lot, okay. And then
- 18:51Speaker 11: I heard her going to the back I think there
- 18:53Speaker 11: was the bathroom, and I remember her stopping and I
- 18:55Speaker 11: just didn't heard this guy's voice and I didn't recognize
- 18:58Speaker 11: saying you're gonna be okay, to help you. But it
- 19:00Speaker 11: was like, I don't know how to explain it, like
- 19:02Speaker 11: it was it in like a nice way. It was
- 19:04Speaker 11: like a weird way, like a weird tea.
- 19:06Speaker 23: You're gonna be okay, I'm gonna help you, and you
- 19:12Speaker 23: didn't hear anything from Kaye anymore.
- 19:16Speaker 16: Then Nuddy about Murphy and then Murphy's a dog.
- 19:21Speaker 24: Yeah, and then I.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Went outside go to bed and she was so tuky,
- 19:26Speaker 4: you know.
- 19:28Speaker 12: And then and then my dad liked about a gers
- 19:32Speaker 12: and that he just said that.
- 19:33Speaker 2: She was Murphy.
- 19:36Speaker 25: And was what he was letting me the next and
- 19:39Speaker 25: then at what time using Chelsea.
- 19:42Speaker 16: M.
- 19:47Speaker 7: You see what's happening here, all the speculation about the dog.
- 19:51Speaker 4: He had been there before, and he had befriended the dog.
- 19:56Speaker 7: He knew Murphy, and Murphy was park Murphy the dog
- 20:01Speaker 7: was part of the scenario that night.
- 20:05Speaker 16: Uh, she's sang this morning for there's a guy black
- 20:09Speaker 16: male was in there.
- 20:10Speaker 25: She would recognized him. She and she heard girl screaming upstairs.
- 20:15Speaker 25: She got scared, walked herself in the room and then
- 20:19Speaker 25: screaming all stop. She's pretty sure that this masked person
- 20:23Speaker 25: went out that backing.
- 20:28Speaker 23: And right now getting off the information, she knows only
- 20:31Speaker 23: two girls up there haven't told hers deceased or anything
- 20:34Speaker 23: like that.
- 20:35Speaker 25: They just have four people that are unaccount of store
- 20:38Speaker 25: right now.
- 20:39Speaker 7: Which.
- 20:41Speaker 16: Okay, who's dog, who's dog? Who owns a dog.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Crime Stores with Nancy Gray.
- 20:59Speaker 7: And I, and as Sydney told us earlier, we find
- 21:02Speaker 7: out the only one that knew what had really happened
- 21:05Speaker 7: was Hunter Johnson, the kid that had his hands up
- 21:09Speaker 7: over his head in anguish.
- 21:12Speaker 4: Listen to Hunter Johnson, I forgot.
- 21:16Speaker 16: You're here, man? Do you still want to hang out here?
- 21:19Speaker 20: I just want to know what's going on.
- 21:21Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 21:25Speaker 16: I don't know how much.
- 21:26Speaker 23: I'm wanted to disclose right now, we're processing what's going
- 21:32Speaker 23: on in the scene. As soon as we know for
- 21:35Speaker 23: sure we can tell you guys what's going on, We
- 21:38Speaker 23: absolutely will.
- 21:39Speaker 16: I know it sucks to be in the dark with this,
- 21:41Speaker 16: but okay, and what's your what's your relationship again?
- 21:51Speaker 25: Okay?
- 21:55Speaker 16: Yeah, man, as soon as soon as I know we're
- 21:56Speaker 16: able to zillion on us on, we'll we'll let you know, okay.
- 22:01Speaker 6: The results of autopsies indicated that the four were stabbed
- 22:04Speaker 6: multiple times and we're likely asleep during the attack. Some
- 22:09Speaker 6: had defensive wounds, and there was no sign of sexual assault.
- 22:14Speaker 7: Video surveillance shows a white sedan passing the King wrote address.
- 22:19Speaker 7: The sedan returns and stops in front of the King
- 22:23Speaker 7: wrote address sixteen minutes later, the white sedan scratches off,
- 22:30Speaker 7: taking off like a bat out of Hell at a
- 22:33Speaker 7: high speed, leaving the King Road address.
- 22:36Speaker 26: We're looking for a twenty eleven to a twenty thirteen
- 22:40Speaker 26: the Atlantra, So any assistance you can give us, anybody
- 22:45Speaker 26: that owns one, anybody that knows of someone who owns
- 22:47Speaker 26: one or may have been driving one. If you could
- 22:49Speaker 26: get a hold of us through our tip line or
- 22:52Speaker 26: colls directly, we'd appreciate that.
- 22:56Speaker 27: Detectives arrested twenty eight year old Brian Christopher Coleburger in Albrightsville,
- 23:03Speaker 27: Pennsylvania on a warrant for murder of ethan Zena Madison
- 23:11Speaker 27: and Kaylee Coburger resides in Pullman, Washington, who is a
- 23:16Speaker 27: graduate student at Washington State University, just.
- 23:19Speaker 15: Around three am. In fact, it might have been even
- 23:21Speaker 15: a little earlier. A man named Brian Christopher Coburger was
- 23:25Speaker 15: taken into custody in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania. That is nearly three
- 23:30Speaker 15: thousand miles away, in fact, much more more than twenty
- 23:34Speaker 15: five hundred miles away from the crime scene here in Moscow, Idaho.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Let's see the timeline, isn't it true?
- 23:48Speaker 7: Caitlin Cornick joining us from the Sun that Coburger we
- 23:52Speaker 7: can prove turned his phone off and on the night
- 23:56Speaker 7: of the murders, Yes, two forty two, his phone is
- 24:00Speaker 7: on at his apartment in Pullman. To forty seven, he
- 24:05Speaker 7: turns his phone off. Who on this panel turns your
- 24:08Speaker 7: phone off when you're going driving in the middle of
- 24:10Speaker 7: the night. I would keep mine on just in case
- 24:13Speaker 7: I had a nine to one one. Anyway, he turns
- 24:16Speaker 7: his off.
- 24:16Speaker 4: We know that, and that is ear refutable.
- 24:19Speaker 7: To forty seven. This guy is up and about turning
- 24:23Speaker 7: his phone off. Three twenty nine, not cell phone, but
- 24:32Speaker 7: video surveillance from a nearby home. A residence shows a
- 24:38Speaker 7: white sedan passing the King wrote address.
- 24:40Speaker 4: That looks oops just like his white Elantra for zero four.
- 24:51Speaker 7: The sedan returns and stops in front of the King
- 24:54Speaker 7: wrote address.
- 24:58Speaker 20: Four.
- 24:58Speaker 7: Twenty sixty minutes later, the white sedan scratches off, taking
- 25:06Speaker 7: off like a bat out of Hell at a high speed,
- 25:10Speaker 7: leaving the King road address. And then twenty eight minutes
- 25:14Speaker 7: later that phone is turned back on and it's pinging
- 25:19Speaker 7: south of Moscow, Idaho State Highway ninety five. The defense
- 25:25Speaker 7: is arguing that Coburger was driving south of Pullman, where
- 25:30Speaker 7: he goes to school at Washington State University, and west
- 25:34Speaker 7: of Moscow, Coburger's residence on the left.
- 25:39Speaker 4: I drove it myself.
- 25:40Speaker 7: It's about an eight and a half to twelve minute
- 25:42Speaker 7: drive from Coburger's apartment to the crime scene where the
- 25:47Speaker 7: victims lived on King Road. Defense claiming Coburger driving south
- 25:52Speaker 7: of Pullman and that's Pullman, Washington and west of Moscow,
- 26:00Speaker 7: Idaho quote as he often did to hike and run
- 26:05Speaker 7: or see the moon and stars. The two towns Pullman
- 26:12Speaker 7: and Moscow are only ten miles apart, so really quick
- 26:16Speaker 7: drive compared to his long, circuitous route he took home
- 26:21Speaker 7: when he turned his cell.
- 26:23Speaker 4: Phone back on.
- 26:27Speaker 7: Idaho murder suspect Brian Koberger gets pulled over by law
- 26:32Speaker 7: enforcement two times, not just in one day, but actually
- 26:35Speaker 7: within minutes of each other, on his way for Thanksgiving
- 26:39Speaker 7: break to his parents' home near the Poconos.
- 26:43Speaker 4: I just got to say, two times within minutes. That's
- 26:47Speaker 4: no coincidence.
- 26:48Speaker 16: How y'all doing today?
- 26:51Speaker 7: Good?
- 26:51Speaker 24: Good?
- 26:52Speaker 22: Take a look at your driver's lines.
- 26:53Speaker 16: Is real quick as I could.
- 26:55Speaker 2: See, he's right up on that man.
- 26:57Speaker 16: Man, you right up on the back end of that
- 27:01Speaker 16: van old jover for tailgating? Is this your car? Okay?
- 27:06Speaker 2: Cool?
- 27:07Speaker 16: Where you headed?
- 27:09Speaker 9: Well?
- 27:12Speaker 2: We coming from WSU?
- 27:17Speaker 7: Where are you headed? He later says, We're going for
- 27:22Speaker 7: tie food and the Dad's like, what uh? You were
- 27:25Speaker 7: seeing bodycam video when a Hancock County, Indiana Sheriff's department
- 27:32Speaker 7: bodycam when they pull them over and ask to see
- 27:37Speaker 7: Coburger's driver's license. Now, it was arguing back and forth,
- 27:42Speaker 7: and I claimed vehemently that this was no coincidence because
- 27:46Speaker 7: there were two pullovers by local l E law enforcement
- 27:51Speaker 7: in one trip home. When does that happen? How often
- 27:55Speaker 7: do you get pulled over? I rarely get pulled over,
- 27:59Speaker 7: So you get pulled over twice and you never even
- 28:02Speaker 7: get a ticket. Oh no, that's stunt. To high heaven
- 28:06Speaker 7: with me right now. Howard Bloom, author of a brand
- 28:09Speaker 7: new book When the Night Comes Falling a Requiem for
- 28:12Speaker 7: the IO student Murders, which is amazing, and in his
- 28:17Speaker 7: book he outlines how these two pullovers nearly costs the
- 28:24Speaker 7: FBI their investigation, or so they thought.
- 28:28Speaker 4: Take a listen to more of the pullover.
- 28:31Speaker 1: What's WSU?
- 28:34Speaker 17: Yeahs burd that is wat's you Maria A sure.
- 28:44Speaker 16: Okay, I have a hard time period because of the traffic.
- 28:47Speaker 16: So you're coming from Washington State University and you're.
- 28:51Speaker 2: Going where, oh wouldn't be going back to?
- 28:56Speaker 16: Okay, Yeah, we're.
- 28:58Speaker 2: A little fighting much.
- 29:02Speaker 7: How to Howard Bloom, I'm gonna circle back to the
- 29:06Speaker 7: fact that, unasked, he starts talking about talking about SWAT's team,
- 29:12Speaker 7: SWAT Team swarming the area.
- 29:15Speaker 4: Methink, thou dost protest too much. In the immortal words
- 29:19Speaker 4: of William Shakespeare.
- 29:21Speaker 7: Nobody asked, Nobody asked about the Idaho murders.
- 29:25Speaker 4: Yet he's dead.
- 29:27Speaker 7: He's just regurgitating, vomiting the information when nobody asked. But
- 29:31Speaker 7: I want to circle back to the so called hat
- 29:33Speaker 7: box operation that you described.
- 29:36Speaker 4: So well in your book When the Night Comes Falling?
- 29:40Speaker 7: Explain and why did the FBI, who absolutely was following
- 29:46Speaker 7: Coburger as he and his dad across the country, thought
- 29:50Speaker 7: that their entire operation may go up in flames.
- 29:54Speaker 13: Well, as you point out, the FBI decided that Coburger
- 29:59Speaker 13: was a person enough interest. They decided this earlier before
- 30:03Speaker 13: they even told the Moscow Task Force. They kept this
- 30:06Speaker 13: to themselves for either one of two reasons. The first
- 30:11Speaker 13: reason was that it was the identification was based on
- 30:14Speaker 13: the genealogy genetics investigative genetic genealogy, and they thought that
- 30:19Speaker 13: wouldn't hold up in court. Or a much more cynical
- 30:24Speaker 13: explanation would be that the FBI didn't want to share
- 30:27Speaker 13: the credit for Coburg's arrest with anyone else. So they
- 30:31Speaker 13: go off and follow him, and they have cars, they
- 30:34Speaker 13: have a plane in the air that's following his route,
- 30:37Speaker 13: and suddenly they see Coburger being stopped, and they don't
- 30:42Speaker 13: know what's going on, and they don't know what to do.
- 30:46Speaker 13: They think a local cop, a local sheriff had seen
- 30:49Speaker 13: the be on the lookout for notice and swooped in
- 30:53Speaker 13: on this Hondai a Lantra, or they're also wondering how
- 30:58Speaker 13: is Coburger going to react he is a suspect and
- 31:02Speaker 13: a quadruple homicide. Is he going to get on the
- 31:05Speaker 13: you know, put his foot on the accelerator and tear out,
- 31:08Speaker 13: or perhaps he's going to shoot anything as possible of
- 31:12Speaker 13: the officer who's coming in to give him this traffic ticket.
- 31:17Speaker 13: Then nine minutes.
- 31:18Speaker 7: Later, it's almost laughable, Howard, because the FBI actually has
- 31:23Speaker 7: a bird in the air watching they see one pullover
- 31:27Speaker 7: by the Hancock Kenny Sheriffs, and Coburger goes on his way.
- 31:33Speaker 4: And then there's another pullover.
- 31:35Speaker 1: Don't you know.
- 31:35Speaker 4: They're like, what is happening down there?
- 31:39Speaker 7: Why are they pulling over our quadruple murders suspect. I'm
- 31:45Speaker 7: sure they were just and they couldn't say anything. And
- 31:48Speaker 7: they're watching from a bird right, yes.
- 31:52Speaker 13: They have assess they're flying overhead. You know, it's a
- 31:54Speaker 13: hawk waiting to swoop down in case anything happens. In effect,
- 31:58Speaker 13: and they've been building this case for six weeks and
- 32:01Speaker 13: they're finally getting closer and they think the whole case
- 32:03Speaker 13: is going to be blown apart before they've connected all
- 32:07Speaker 13: the dots, and they are filled with a sense of panic,
- 32:11Speaker 13: but discipline.
- 32:13Speaker 7: What Howard, They were right and this is no offense
- 32:16Speaker 7: to Indiana at all. But I understand where the FBI
- 32:20Speaker 7: is coming from, and you know how much I hate
- 32:21Speaker 7: the Feds. But that said Chris mcdonnad joining me, director
- 32:25Speaker 7: Cole Case Foundation, former homicide detective, and start of the
- 32:29Speaker 7: interview room on YouTube. Chris, if they had stopped Coburger
- 32:36Speaker 7: and he nutted up and they arrested him or sped off.
- 32:40Speaker 7: Anything could have happened because we can't we can't predict
- 32:43Speaker 7: what Coburger is going to do.
- 32:44Speaker 4: Just like his father, he had no idea what a
- 32:46Speaker 4: son might do. We would never have gotten the evidence.
- 32:51Speaker 7: That we got when they finally got home to the
- 32:53Speaker 7: Pocono area, remember they were surveilled.
- 32:57Speaker 4: They went in finally or in the early morning hours,
- 32:59Speaker 4: they catch I think, in his.
- 33:01Speaker 7: Shorts or underwear, wearing plastic gloves and separating his trash
- 33:05Speaker 7: from everybody else's trash, and they see him go throwing
- 33:09Speaker 7: trash in the neighbor's receptacle. None of that would have
- 33:14Speaker 7: happened if local authorities had arrested Coburger for a traffic violation,
- 33:20Speaker 7: or if Coburger.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Spun out and brought about his own arrest. So I
- 33:26Speaker 4: understand why they were worried.
- 33:30Speaker 20: Yeah, absolutely, And not only that. If you remember, this
- 33:34Speaker 20: officer is leaning in, so if he would have seen
- 33:36Speaker 20: anything in plane view, any blood transfer or anything like that,
- 33:40Speaker 20: well the clock starts ticking right then and there. If
- 33:43Speaker 20: this officer starts diving into this traffic stop, that you
- 33:48Speaker 20: may have this fugitive task Force surveillance team you know,
- 33:51Speaker 20: overhead and behind him, going, hey, what.
- 33:54Speaker 16: The heck is going on here?
- 33:55Speaker 20: You know, this thing could have gone south really fast,
- 33:58Speaker 20: but fortunately they cut him loose and they were able
- 34:02Speaker 20: to connect those stocks.
- 34:03Speaker 16: The man hearing here where.
- 34:07Speaker 2: Miss Taylor is, mister Coberger prepared to plead.
- 34:10Speaker 21: To these charges.
- 34:13Speaker 2: Feels because mister Coberger is Sandy silent.
- 34:19Speaker 16: I'm going to enter not guilty.
- 34:21Speaker 3: Police.
- 34:22Speaker 2: Each charge has one, two, three, four, and five.
- 34:31Speaker 14: During the quiet morning hours of November thirteen, twenty twenty two,
- 34:37Speaker 14: a faceless coward reached the tranquility of six beautiful young
- 34:41Speaker 14: people and senselessly slaughtered them four of them. Who committed
- 34:51Speaker 14: this unspeakable evil was unknown for several weeks, but due
- 34:56Speaker 14: to the killers in competence and outstanding police work by
- 35:00Speaker 14: numerous local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies, the person
- 35:05Speaker 14: that slithered through that sliding glass door at one one
- 35:08Speaker 14: two two King Road now stands before the world and
- 35:12Speaker 14: this court unmasked. This unfathomable and senseless act of evil
- 35:18Speaker 14: has caused immeasurable pain and loss. No parent should ever
- 35:28Speaker 14: have to bury their child. This is the greatest tragedy
- 35:33Speaker 14: that can be inflicted upon a person.
- 35:39Speaker 7: Brian Coburger takes a plea deal to save his own skin.
- 35:45Speaker 1: Why was that allowed?
- 35:49Speaker 7: How in the world did Brian Coburger escape trial in
- 35:57Speaker 7: the last hours, that deal with the devil goes down
- 36:00Speaker 7: in open court. But I want you to see the
- 36:04Speaker 7: prosecutor choking on his own words, breaking down, crying in court.
- 36:08Speaker 1: Watch on November.
- 36:10Speaker 28: Thirteenth, twenty twenty two. Excuse me, miss Coberger entered the
- 36:19Speaker 28: residence of eleven twenty two King Road in Moscow, Idaho.
- 36:22Speaker 28: He did that with the intent to kill. We will
- 36:25Speaker 28: not represent that he intended to commit all of the
- 36:28Speaker 28: murders that he did that night, but we know that
- 36:31Speaker 28: that is what resulted, and that he then killed intentionally, willfully, deliberately,
- 36:38Speaker 28: with premeditation, and with mouse forethought. Manny Mogan, Kate we
- 36:44Speaker 28: CON's office, Ethan Chapin and.
- 36:48Speaker 4: Sat really.
- 36:54Speaker 1: Save it.
- 36:56Speaker 4: Your tears mean nothing.
- 36:58Speaker 18: You stood there when you took the deal over the
- 37:03Speaker 18: objections of some victims' families, and I agree with them.
- 37:09Speaker 7: At first, I thought it wouldn't happen. I thought maybe
- 37:12Speaker 7: the media was wrong. Reports could be wrong, couldn't they
- 37:15Speaker 7: But then it went down in the last hours in
- 37:19Speaker 7: a court of law, it's done, it's over. Brian Koberger
- 37:25Speaker 7: will never face the death penalty. He won't even face trial.
- 37:31Speaker 7: The victims' families will never have answers. Listen to what
- 37:36Speaker 7: Steve and Christy gunsolve Is say about this plea deal.
- 37:40Speaker 4: We lost our minds.
- 37:42Speaker 21: We were in that meet. I mean we were screaming,
- 37:44Speaker 21: we were tussing, we were yelling, we were saying, why
- 37:46Speaker 21: did you do this?
- 37:47Speaker 1: How did you do this?
- 37:48Speaker 3: You know what happened.
- 37:51Speaker 5: You just talked to us on Friday and told us that,
- 37:54Speaker 5: you know, you had every anticipation of taking.
- 37:58Speaker 4: This all the way.
- 38:00Speaker 19: He accepted the plea deal within the same hour that
- 38:02Speaker 19: he got it. This man never wanted to fight for
- 38:05Speaker 19: our children.
- 38:06Speaker 14: Literally, I mean it.
- 38:07Speaker 19: They fought for their lives, for their very last breath,
- 38:10Speaker 19: and this man had no fighting it. They fought hard
- 38:13Speaker 19: all the way to the end, and he gave up
- 38:15Speaker 19: within an hour of being given an opportunity to quit
- 38:18Speaker 19: on these kids.
- 38:19Speaker 14: Did you on November thirteenth, twenty twenty two, we entered
- 38:25Speaker 14: the residents at one one two two King Road in Moscow, Idaho,

- 40:56Speaker 4: She fought for her life. It's nothing like what we
- 41:01Speaker 4: were told to start.
- 41:02Speaker 29: With, absolutely, and when new details come out, they're just
- 41:06Speaker 29: more excruciating for the family. We have heard that maybe
- 41:10Speaker 29: she saw something heard something was getting of course the
- 41:12Speaker 29: door dash as you know, and then maybe he chased her.
- 41:17Speaker 29: You mentioned, and I thought this was key, that this
- 41:19Speaker 29: is all they had.
- 41:20Speaker 2: Was today.
- 41:20Speaker 29: I was in the courtroom and I could see it
- 41:23Speaker 29: Nancy building the tension. Kaylee's father, his knee was shaking.
- 41:26Speaker 29: He was to the right of me and his knee
- 41:28Speaker 29: was shaking, and I could tell he was going through
- 41:30Speaker 29: what he was going to say. So he's almost like practicing.
- 41:33Speaker 29: And it's all they had, and they gave it everything.
- 41:35Speaker 29: They've been wanting to say this for so long. Everything
- 41:39Speaker 29: that they wanted to say.
- 41:40Speaker 30: My sister Kayley and her best friend Maddie were not
- 41:43Speaker 30: yours to take.
- 41:44Speaker 8: You're a delusional, pathetic, hypochondriac loser.
- 41:49Speaker 24: Oh man, You're going to go to hell.
- 41:53Speaker 25: You're evil.
- 41:54Speaker 4: There's no place for you in heaven today.
- 41:57Speaker 7: You have no name.
- 41:59Speaker 14: Nobody cares about you.
- 42:00Speaker 7: You.
- 42:00Speaker 4: You're a joke, complete joke.
- 42:03Speaker 30: You'll be forgotten, discarded, used in e raced if you
- 42:07Speaker 30: hadn't attacked them in their sleep in the middle of
- 42:10Speaker 30: the night like a pedophile, Kaylee would have kicked your ass.
- 42:16Speaker 4: Thank you, Thank you.
- 42:22Speaker 7: The families of the four victims filing out of that courtroom.
- 42:26Speaker 7: Many people call it closure. Let me inform you there
- 42:31Speaker 7: is no such thing as closure when the.
- 42:35Speaker 1: Person you love the most is murdered.
- 42:39Speaker 14: All right, mister Colberger, you have an opportunity to make
- 42:42Speaker 14: a statement if you wish to.
- 42:43Speaker 16: I take it you are declining.
- 42:45Speaker 20: I respectfully decline.
- 42:47Speaker 14: I mind not able to come up with anything redeeming
- 42:49Speaker 14: about mister Coberger, because his grotesque acts of evil have
- 42:53Speaker 14: buried in hidden anything that might have been good or
- 42:56Speaker 14: intrinsically human about him. His actions have made him the
- 43:01Speaker 14: worst of the worst. Even in pleading guilty, is giving
- 43:06Speaker 14: nothing hinting of remorse or redemption, nothing suggesting even a
- 43:11Speaker 14: recognition or understanding, let alone regret for the pain that
- 43:15Speaker 14: he has caused. And therefore I will not attempt to
- 43:18Speaker 14: speak about him further other than to simply sentence him,
- 43:23Speaker 14: so that he is forever removed from civilized society. I
- 43:27Speaker 14: hereby sentence mister Coberger, as follows on count one Burglary
- 43:33Speaker 14: ten years fixed zero years indeterminate. Count two, first degree
- 43:38Speaker 14: murder of Madison Mogen, I sentence the defendant to a
- 43:42Speaker 14: fixed term of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
- 43:46Speaker 14: On count three, for first degree murder of Kaylee Gonsalves,
- 43:50Speaker 14: I sentenced the defendant to a fixed term of life
- 43:53Speaker 14: imprisonment without the possibility of parole. On count four, for
- 43:57Speaker 14: the first degree murder of Santa Kernola Well, I sentenced
- 44:01Speaker 14: the defendant to a fixed term of life imprisonment without
- 44:03Speaker 14: the possibility of parole. On count five, for the first
- 44:07Speaker 14: degree murder of Ethan Chapin, I sentenced the defendant to
- 44:10Speaker 14: a fixed term of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
- 44:14Speaker 14: The sentences on counts one, two, three, four, and five
- 44:17Speaker 14: shall run consecutively to one another.
- 44:20Speaker 1: Xanna was everyone's best friend.
- 44:23Speaker 7: She knew how precious and special life was, yet her
- 44:27Speaker 7: story was cut short by an active evil.
- 44:31Speaker 4: They were two pieces of a whole, the perfect Yin
- 44:34Speaker 4: and yang.
- 44:35Speaker 9: Man.
- 44:36Speaker 7: He was their gift of life or purpose and our hope.
- 44:39Speaker 6: We were grow old without our only child.
- 44:49Speaker 7: Eerie leaked jail videos of Brian Coburger with bright red hands, red.
- 45:00Speaker 4: Red compared to the rest of his arm, bright red hands.
- 45:06Speaker 7: As American psycho type shirtless selfies emerged on his phone
- 45:14Speaker 7: and straight out to any Elisee joining us creator CEO
- 45:18Speaker 7: of tent to Life, Annie, thank you.
- 45:20Speaker 4: For being with us. Let's look at the Oh, look
- 45:23Speaker 4: at the hands.
- 45:24Speaker 7: We're looking at it right now. I don't know if
- 45:25Speaker 7: you can see it on your monitor. And here he
- 45:28Speaker 7: is obsessive, obsessively cleaning the cracks and the little line
- 45:35Speaker 7: that goes around the bottom of your shoe.
- 45:37Speaker 4: What he got it in muddy behind bars?
- 45:40Speaker 7: No, but he's recleaning and re cleaning his shoes and
- 45:46Speaker 7: looking around awkwardly, looks very much. You know, if this
- 45:51Speaker 7: is telling me something else is telling me that the
- 45:54Speaker 7: way he looked in sentencing and the.
- 45:56Speaker 4: Way he looked in court is how he really looked.
- 46:00Speaker 4: Kind of a blank dead stare.
- 46:04Speaker 7: Okay, first of all, I want to analyze everything I
- 46:09Speaker 7: can glean from this leaked video, and who leaked it
- 46:12Speaker 7: is anybody's guests, You know, jails are falling over themselves
- 46:15Speaker 7: to say it's not ours, it's not ours. Hey, it's
- 46:18Speaker 7: somebody's straight out to any at least any what do
- 46:22Speaker 7: you observe in the video.
- 46:25Speaker 31: I think it's so interesting because of course everybody is
- 46:28Speaker 31: glued to this trying to analyze it, because it's really
- 46:31Speaker 31: the first movements we have seen it for three years
- 46:34Speaker 31: of him.
- 46:35Speaker 21: And we know we've heard that he has OCD.
- 46:38Speaker 31: So he's carefully cleaning the shoe. But I think what
- 46:40Speaker 31: strikes everybody as odd is when he's done cleaning it,
- 46:43Speaker 31: he puts that tissue up on top of the cage
- 46:46Speaker 31: and he just stares there, very still, very intently, looking
- 46:50Speaker 31: above the monitor that's in that cage, and almost looks
- 46:53Speaker 31: as though he's just thinking or evaluating it.
- 46:57Speaker 21: And it's really eerie.
- 46:59Speaker 7: The video is infuriating victims' rights advocates who think about
- 47:05Speaker 7: the brutality and how these four beautiful young students were murdered.
- 47:11Speaker 4: And now he has what a penhouse sweet at.
- 47:14Speaker 7: The jail, he's got a huge bed by jail house
- 47:19Speaker 7: standards as opposed to a bunk. He has, look at this,
- 47:24Speaker 7: plenty of walking around room, shelfs, multiple pairs of shoes.
- 47:30Speaker 4: He's he's doing fine.
- 47:33Speaker 7: The Elite video has yet to be verified by authorities,
- 47:37Speaker 7: but now his selfies his freaky American psychotype selfies are emerging.
- 47:44Speaker 4: Listen.
- 47:45Speaker 32: Besides the chilling selfie he took giving the thumbs up
- 47:48Speaker 32: hours after murdering four university students, Coburger's cell phone is
- 47:52Speaker 32: filled with creepy selfies posing shirtless and flexing his muscles.
- 47:57Speaker 7: I've got to talk to Susan Hendrix joining us about
- 47:59Speaker 7: the creepy selfies, the shirtless selfies, new ones that have
- 48:04Speaker 7: just emerged.
- 48:06Speaker 4: Oh dear lord, I'm gonna have to report on them.
- 48:09Speaker 4: Just hold that.
- 48:10Speaker 24: What the hey?
- 48:12Speaker 1: What okay?
- 48:16Speaker 7: Tell me, Susan, tell me what this is and why
- 48:20Speaker 7: I'm having to look at Coburger without a shirt on,
- 48:23Speaker 7: flexing and staring into the camera.
- 48:26Speaker 4: Why is this happening?
- 48:28Speaker 21: Yeah, they are cringe worthy.
- 48:30Speaker 29: And for the company that look through his data hisself,
- 48:34Speaker 29: they found out that he does.
- 48:35Speaker 7: He actually have his pants pulled down toward his crotch
- 48:40Speaker 7: so I can see more of his belly button hair.
- 48:44Speaker 7: What you know, like in the Sports Illustrated magazine, you
- 48:47Speaker 7: know cover the swimsuit is pulled down just a tantalizing
- 48:53Speaker 7: bit too low.
- 48:54Speaker 4: Is that what he's doing?
- 48:56Speaker 21: Iw youw It's gross, It's cringe worthy.
- 49:00Speaker 29: I feel sorry for the families who have to look
- 49:01Speaker 29: at that, and I was looking at each picture getting
- 49:04Speaker 29: grossed out by the way, but kind of wondering what
- 49:06Speaker 29: is he thinking there?
- 49:07Speaker 21: He didn't send these to anyone there for himself. It
- 49:10Speaker 21: reminded me of American Psycho. That movie Just Loving Himself
- 49:16Speaker 21: is cringeworthy, disgusting. There he is flexing. It's perplexing seeing
- 49:21Speaker 21: all this evidence of what was on his phone.
- 49:28Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 49:32Speaker 7: Joining US forensics expert psychologist doctor Sherry Schwartz.
- 49:38Speaker 4: His obsession with American Psycho.
- 49:42Speaker 7: I don't get it, But can I talk to you
- 49:45Speaker 7: about his preening in front of the camera and flexing
- 49:48Speaker 7: and what it means.
- 49:49Speaker 4: It's like Monk.
- 49:50Speaker 7: Did you ever say Monk Monk only wore a certain
- 49:55Speaker 7: brilliant homicide investigator. He only wore one time of shirt
- 50:01Speaker 7: every day. I think it was a pale blue button down,
- 50:04Speaker 7: just like in this case. Occasionally Coburg will go crazy
- 50:07Speaker 7: and we're a white button down. But that said, they're
- 50:12Speaker 7: lined up behind him and some of the shots. What
- 50:17Speaker 7: is this revealing to you? Because the crime scene is
- 50:21Speaker 7: blood soaked, it looks like a Jackson Pollock. The closet
- 50:27Speaker 7: and the home where he takes these pictures, is like
- 50:31Speaker 7: bleached clean, and there's this freaky row of all blue
- 50:37Speaker 7: button down shirts behind him.
- 50:39Speaker 4: What is that, doctor Sherry.
- 50:42Speaker 33: I mean a part of it could be his fascination
- 50:46Speaker 33: with some level of fame, even if it is something
- 50:49Speaker 33: he'll keep internally to feel better about himself. That he's
- 50:53Speaker 33: just like Christian Vale in American Psycho, but he'll do
- 50:57Speaker 33: it better and not get caught. We know how that
- 51:00Speaker 33: worked out. These selfies are disturbing because we know that
- 51:04Speaker 33: they're not being sent to anyone. They would be disturbing
- 51:07Speaker 33: if they're being sent to someone, but in this case,
- 51:09Speaker 33: these are for him. And so it suggested to me
- 51:12Speaker 33: that he has some sort of internal dialogue going on
- 51:15Speaker 33: where he's fascinated with this idea of.
- 51:20Speaker 7: Got to Sherry, got to Sherry, got to Sherry. Wait wait,
- 51:23Speaker 7: I want you to look at the screen right now. Okay,
- 51:26Speaker 7: Susan Hendrix, he is saluting.
- 51:30Speaker 4: The camera. Now, is this particular shot this was taken
- 51:34Speaker 4: after the murders? Correct Susan Hendrix.
- 51:37Speaker 21: It absolutely was, and you see that on his knuckle
- 51:39Speaker 21: there the injury.
- 51:45Speaker 7: Brian Koberger is contesting his plea deal, renigging on some
- 51:50Speaker 7: of the.
- 51:51Speaker 4: Orders in exchange for life over the death penalty.
- 51:55Speaker 1: Can the case now go to trial.
- 51:58Speaker 7: It's my understanding to Dave Matt, Crime Story's investigative reporter,
- 52:03Speaker 7: that Coburger is bulking at paying for the victims earns
- 52:08Speaker 7: and other expenses.
- 52:10Speaker 12: Right exactly, Nancy.
- 52:12Speaker 24: The shocking part of it is that in that plea deal,
- 52:15Speaker 24: all of this was already negotiated. All of this was
- 52:18Speaker 24: part of it so that he could avoid going to
- 52:20Speaker 24: trial and avoid the needle or the gun. And yet
- 52:24Speaker 24: now they're going back in and saying, well, we need
- 52:27Speaker 24: to send this to the mathematicians that accounting at the
- 52:31Speaker 24: States determine whether or not he's able to pay for it,
- 52:35Speaker 24: because he's in prison for the rest of his life,
- 52:39Speaker 24: and that actually is something that he's not allowed to do.
- 52:43Speaker 24: This plea bargain said he could not go back later
- 52:46Speaker 24: and appeal it. He couldn't contest any aspect of it,
- 52:50Speaker 24: and in so doing, Nancy, I wonder why have they
- 52:53Speaker 24: not already said, boom over, you're going to trial.
- 52:56Speaker 4: Well, the judge seems to agree with you.
- 52:58Speaker 17: Dave Matt, listen to Hippler, So you took advantage of
- 53:01Speaker 17: the plea agreement to get the benefit of the bargain
- 53:05Speaker 17: regarding the state's dropping of the death penalty.
- 53:09Speaker 14: Why should you not be held to the plea agreement
- 53:11Speaker 14: to pay the victims the costs in turning their children?
- 53:19Speaker 7: I mean, for Pete's sake, does Judge Hippler have to
- 53:22Speaker 7: feed the prosecution with a silver spoon? Here's your way
- 53:27Speaker 7: out of this disastrous plea deal out of all of
- 53:31Speaker 7: your lies and your secret deals. Coburger is contesting restitution
- 53:38Speaker 7: that was part of the deal.
- 53:41Speaker 4: So deal is off. I mean, can the judge make
- 53:45Speaker 4: it any more clear?
- 53:46Speaker 17: Listen to Hippler, what's the point of the plea agreement
- 53:50Speaker 17: on restitution if the defense is able to argue against
- 53:54Speaker 17: the restitution called for in the plea agreement itself?
- 53:57Speaker 4: And it's not an issue? Is it to Annie?
- 54:00Speaker 7: At least joining us from seriously Annie, he's got at
- 54:04Speaker 7: least a five figure amount of money in his commissary account.
- 54:11Speaker 31: It's unbelievable, first and foremost, the fact that people are
- 54:15Speaker 31: sending an admitted quadruple murderer tens of thousands of dollars.
- 54:20Speaker 31: Then for him to be contesting payment the restitution that
- 54:23Speaker 31: is outlined. And I'm sorry, but three thousand dollars for
- 54:27Speaker 31: the earns is that the going rate these.
- 54:28Speaker 2: Days for a life?
- 54:30Speaker 21: It's just if he's afforded.
- 54:31Speaker 31: These comforts of ramen, toilet trees, different treats with his commissary,
- 54:36Speaker 31: why should he get more comforts than the victims were
- 54:40Speaker 31: ever afforded.
- 54:41Speaker 7: Straight out to Christy and Steve Gonsalves joining us, the
- 54:47Speaker 7: fact that Coburger is contesting issues within the plea deal,
- 54:55Speaker 7: that's not the banner the important part of this. We
- 54:59Speaker 7: know he's contesting paying restitution. Could that and resind renig
- 55:08Speaker 7: the plea deal? Because if he is backing out of
- 55:12Speaker 7: conditions of the plea deal, then the deal is off.
- 55:16Speaker 7: Have you considered this could take the case to trial.
- 55:20Speaker 7: If Coburger himself is refusing to pay restitution as ordered
- 55:24Speaker 7: in the plea deal.
- 55:26Speaker 1: I would love for that to happen.
- 55:27Speaker 5: But I feel like it's all just games and none
- 55:30Speaker 5: of it is taken serious, Like, oh, he doesn't want
- 55:32Speaker 5: to pay his restitution.
- 55:34Speaker 2: Slap slap, slap.
- 55:35Speaker 5: You can't do that, pay your restitution, move on.
- 55:39Speaker 4: Well, this is what it boils down to.
- 55:40Speaker 7: Steve.
- 55:42Speaker 4: Let's look at this, so I take a play deal
- 55:45Speaker 4: twenty to serve, all right, and the defendant thing goes, yeah,
- 55:50Speaker 4: I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to
- 55:53Speaker 4: do twenty.
- 55:54Speaker 7: Well, then the deal is off. Pay your restitution is
- 55:59Speaker 7: an important part of that deal. And if Coburger contests it, fine,
- 56:04Speaker 7: I'd be mad if he didn't. Now, let's go to trial.
- 56:07Speaker 7: That is possible. He's nigging on the deal.
- 56:11Speaker 1: That's on him.
- 56:13Speaker 7: So what you'd have to do, what we would have
- 56:15Speaker 7: to do, is get Thompson off this case. He can't
- 56:18Speaker 7: try this case. Someone else, an independent prosecutor, would have
- 56:23Speaker 7: to try it, which.
- 56:26Speaker 1: Would be great.
- 56:26Speaker 2: I would love to see that.
- 56:28Speaker 34: This guy has been trying to control the narrative, you know,
- 56:31Speaker 34: pKa from the very beginning the mini he even got
- 56:33Speaker 34: in prison, he started writing up complaints and started doing
- 56:36Speaker 34: formalities and Saytan, you're gonna transfer me, You're gonna do this,
- 56:39Speaker 34: You're gonna do that. We got to just put our
- 56:41Speaker 34: foot down to these kind of psychopath killers and stop
- 56:44Speaker 34: entertaining them and stop treating them with baby gloves. It's
- 56:47Speaker 34: just it's just disgusting, and we're doing it all the
- 56:52Speaker 34: way up. Three years later joining.
- 56:55Speaker 7: Us tonight, Christy and Steve Gonsolve, thank you, thank you
- 57:00Speaker 7: for being with us. I know that every time you
- 57:02Speaker 7: have to talk about this, it just brings it all
- 57:05Speaker 7: up again. If you could have your wish, which of
- 57:10Speaker 7: course would be to have Kelly back, what is your wish, Christy?
- 57:17Speaker 5: The wish of wanting Keay back is obviously that that's
- 57:19Speaker 5: not possible. So my only other wish would be for
- 57:23Speaker 5: him to hurry up and take a sauce breath. Him
- 57:28Speaker 5: being dead would be great.
- 57:29Speaker 34: I will try to make something positive out of it
- 57:31Speaker 34: as much as you possibly can. And I feel like
- 57:33Speaker 34: that's what me, O, Livy and the family's doing is
- 57:35Speaker 34: we're trying to put some actions we're trying to put
- 57:37Speaker 34: We're trying to rally around anyone who we see something
- 57:40Speaker 34: disgusting and puts their foot down and says, all right,
- 57:43Speaker 34: I've had enough. I think that's that's the best we
- 57:47Speaker 34: can do. And if we can take this murder and
- 57:50Speaker 34: all the people's attention on it and say, hey, there's
- 57:52Speaker 34: no point of having red flags if we're not doing
- 57:54Speaker 34: something about it. And we see all these killers, and
- 57:58Speaker 34: we look back at their past behaviors and there's all
- 58:01Speaker 34: these red black but just no not enough action behind them.
- 58:05Speaker 34: People just dodging the bullets, just saying we didn't know
- 58:09Speaker 34: he was a normal person.
- 58:10Speaker 19: No, you did know.
- 58:11Speaker 34: There was things there. There was girls making complaints all
- 58:14Speaker 34: around this individual, over and over, and you just refuse
- 58:16Speaker 34: to listen to them. You just refuse to do something
- 58:19Speaker 34: when they were crying out for help. And it's happening
- 58:22Speaker 34: all the way to today. We're going to loose tens
- 58:24Speaker 34: of thousand dollars because the prosecutor refused to help us.
- 58:28Speaker 34: If he couldn't do it, he didn't, whatever the reason
- 58:30Speaker 34: he failed us.
- 58:31Speaker 7: There could be a way around this deal with the devil?
- 58:37Speaker 7: But now will it happen? I am begging the FEDS
- 58:42Speaker 7: to intervene. I am begging a court to investigate this
- 58:47Speaker 7: and appoint an independent prosecutor. How can we stand by
- 58:53Speaker 7: and hear? Are these families.
- 58:55Speaker 1: Pain and do nothing? The current US Attorney for the
- 59:00Speaker 1: Idaho District is Bart M.
- 59:04Speaker 4: Davis. Repeat, Bart M. Davis.
- 59:08Speaker 7: The number two zero eight three three four one two
- 59:12Speaker 7: one one two zero eight three three four one two
- 59:17Speaker 7: one one. You have the knowledge, use it? Is there
- 59:23Speaker 7: a way out of this deal with the devil? The
- 59:27Speaker 7: local prosecutor struck with Brian Coburger. Can we get Coburger
- 59:32Speaker 7: to trial? Now we remember an American hero Border Patrol Agent,
- 59:38Speaker 7: Freddie or Tease, US Department Homeland Security, killed in the
- 59:42Speaker 7: line of duty after thirteen years serving and protecting, leaving
- 59:47Speaker 7: behind his grieving mother. American hero Patrol Agent Freddie or Tease.
- 59:55Speaker 7: Thank you to our guest tonight, but especially to you
- 59:58Speaker 7: for being with us. Nancy Gray signing off for tonight.
- 1:00:00Speaker 7: I'll see you tomorrow night, and until then, good night friend,
- 1:00:11Speaker 7: m HM.
