• 4:04
  Speaker 1: when Moscow police officers initially responded the dog belonged to
• 4:08

  Speaker 1: twenty two, that he and Gonzalves shared the dog. Officer
• 4:19

• 6:39
  Speaker 1: originally went to sleep in her bedroom on the southeast

  Speaker 1: side of the second floor. DM stated she was awoken
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: at approximately four AM by what she stated sounded like
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Gonzalvez playing with her dog in one of the upstairs bedrooms,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: which were located on the third floor. A short time later,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: DM said she heard who she thought was Gonzalvez say
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: something to the effect of quote, there's someone here unquote.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: A review of records obtained for a forensic download of

  Speaker 1: the TikTok app at approximately four twelve am. DM stated
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: she looked out of her bedroom, but did not see
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: anything when she heard the comment about someone being in

  Speaker 1: the house. DM stated she opened her door a second

  Speaker 1: voice say something to the effect of quote it's okay,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I'm going to help you unquote. At approximately four seventeen am,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a security camera located at one one one two King Road,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: a residence immediately to the northwest of eleven twenty two
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: King Road, picked up distorted audio of what sounded like
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: voices or a whimper followed by a loud thud. A
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: dog can also be heard barking numerous times starting at
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: four seventeen am. The security camera is less than fifty
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: feet from the west wall of Cronodle's bedroom. DM stated
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: she opened her door for the third time after she
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: heard the crying and saw a figure clad in black
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and

• 8:29
  Speaker 1: in her room after seeing the mail. DM did not

  Speaker 1: state that she recognized the mail. This leads investigators to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: believe that the murderer left the scene. The combination of
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: DM statements to law enforcement review of forensic downloads of
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: records from BF and DM's phone, and video of a

  Speaker 1: During the processing of the crime scene, investigators found a
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: latent shoe print. This was located during the second processing

  Speaker 1: dot COM's Dave Mack as he reads verbatim the probable
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: cause affidavit, page five. As part of the investigation, an
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: extensive search commonly referred to in law enforcement as a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: quote video canvas unquote, was conducted in the area of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: the King Road residence. This video canvas was to obtain
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: any footage from the early morning hours of November thirteen,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, in the area of the King Road
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: residents and surrounding neighborhoods in an effort to locate the
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: suspect or suspect vehicle traveling to or leaving from the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: King Road residence. This video canvas resulted in the collection
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: of numerous surveillance videos in the area from both residential
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and business addresses. I have reviewed numerous videos that were
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: collected and have had conversations with the other IMPD officers,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: ISP detectives and FBI agents that are similarly reviewing footage
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that was obtained. A review of camera footage indicated that
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: a white sedan hereafter quote suspect vehicle one ute was
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: observed traveling westbound in the seven hundred block of Indian
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Hills Drive in Moscow at approximately three twenty six am
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and westbound on Steiner Avenue at Idaho State Highway ninety
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: five in Moscow at approximately three twenty eight am. On
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: this video, it appeared suspect Vehicle one was not displaying
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a front license plate. A review of footage from multiple
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: videos obtained from King Road neighborhood showed multiple sightings of
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: suspect vehicle one starting at three twenty nine am and
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: ending at four twenty am. These sightings show suspect Vehicle
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: one makes an initial three passes by the eleven twenty
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: two King Road residents and then leave via Willenta drive.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Based off of my experience as a patrol officer, this
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: is a residential neighborhood with a very limited number of
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: vehicles that travel in the area during the early morning hours.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: Upon review of the video, there are only a few
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: cars that enter and exit this area during this time frame.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Suspect Vehicle one can be seen entering the area of
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: fourth time at approximately four h four am. It can
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: be seen driving eastbound on King Road, stopping and turning
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: around in front of five hundred Queen Road number fifty two,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and then driving back westbound on King Road. When suspect
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Vehicle one is in front of the King Road residence.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: It appeared to unsuccessfully attempt a park or turn around
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: in the road. The vehicle ben continued to the intersection
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of Queen Road and King Road, where it can be
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: seen completing a three point turn and then driving eastbound
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: again down Queen Road. Suspect Vehicle one is next scene
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: departing the area of the King Road residence at approximately
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: four to twenty am at a high rate of speed.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Suspect Vehicle one is next observed traveling southbound on wooland
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: to Drive. Based on my knowledge of the area and
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: review of camera footage in the neighborhood that does not
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: show suspect Vehicle one during that time frame, I believe
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: that suspect Vehicle one likely exited the neighborhood at Palouse
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: River Drive and Conestoga Drive. Palous River Drive is at
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the southern edge of Moscow and proceeds into Whitman County, Washington.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Eventually the road leads to Pullman, Washington. Pullmand, Washington is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: approximately ten miles from Moscow, Idaho. Both Pullman and Moscow
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: are small college towns and people commonly travel back and
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: forth between them. Law enforcement officers provided video footage of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: suspect Vehicle IE to forensic examiners with the Federal Bureau
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: of Investigation that regularly utilize surveillance footage to identify the year, make,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and model of an unknown vehicle that is observed by
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: one or more cameras during the commission of a criminal offense.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: The forensic examiner has approximately thirty five years law enforcement experience,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: with twelve years at the FBI. His specific training includes
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: identifying unique characteristics of vehicles, and he uses a database
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that gives visual clues of vehicles across states to identify
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: differences between vehicles. After reviewing the numerous observations of suspect
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Vehicle one, the forensic examiner initially believed that suspect Vehicle
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: one was a two thousand and eleven to twenty thirteen
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: Hunday Elantra. Upon further review, he indicated it could also
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: be a two thousand and eleven to two thousand and
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: sixteen Hunday Elantra. As a result, investigators have been reviewing
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: information on persons in possession of a vehicle that is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a twenty eleven to two thousand and sixteen white Hundai
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Elantra investigators were given access to video footage on the
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Washington State University campus located in Pullman, Washington. A review
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: of that video indicated that approximately two forty four am
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: on November thirteen, twenty twenty two, a white Sedan which
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: was consistent with the description of the white Elantra known
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: as suspect Vehicle one, was observed on WSU surveillance cameras

  Speaker 1: traveling north on Southeast Nevada Street at Northeast Stadium Way.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: At approximately two fifty three am, A white Sedan is
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: consistent with the description of the white Elantra known as
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: suspect Vehicle one, was observed traveling southeast on Nevada Street
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: in Pullman, Washington towards State Road two seventy. State Road
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: two seventy connects Pullman, Washington to Moscow, Idaho. The camera
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: footage from Pullman, Washington was provided to the same FBI
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: forensic examiner. The forensic examiner identified the vehicle observed in Pullman,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Washington as being a twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen Hunda Elantra.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: At approximately five to twenty five am, a white Sedan,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: which was consistent with the description of suspect vehicle one
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: was observed on five cameras in Pullman, Washington, and on
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: WSU campus cameras. The first camera that recorded the white
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: sedan was located at thirteen hundred Johnson Road in Pullman.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: The white sedan was observed traveling northbound on Johnson Road.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Johnson Road leads directly back to West Palust River Drive
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in Moscow, which intersects with Connestoga Drive. The white sedan
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: was then observed turning north on Bishop Boulevard and northwest
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: on State Road two seventy. At approximately five twenty seven am,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: the white Elantra was observed on camera traveling northbound on
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Stadium Way at Nevada Street, Stadium Way at Grimes Way,

  Speaker 1: returned to Coburger with a Washington tag. I reviewed Coburger's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Washington state driver's license information and photograph. This license indicates
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: that Cooeburger is a white male with a height of

  Speaker 1: later received Washington plate CFB DASH eight seven zero eight.
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: Prior to this time, the twenty fifteen white Elantra was
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: registered in Pennsylvania, which does require a front license plate
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: to be displayed. This was learned through communications with the
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Pennsylvania officer, who is currently certified in the state of Pennsylvania.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Based on my own experience and communication with Washington law enforcement,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I know that Idaho and Washington require front and back
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: license plates to be displayed. Investigators believe that Cooburger is
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: still driving the twenty fifteen white Elantra because his vehicle
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: was captured on December thirteen, twenty twenty two, by a
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: license plate reader in Loma, Colorado, information provided by a
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: query to a database. Coburger's Elantra was then queried on
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: December fifteenth, twenty twenty two, by law enforcement in Hancock County, Indiana.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: On December sixteen, twenty twenty two, at approximately two twenty
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: six pm, surveillance video showed Coeburger's a launtra in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: The sole occupant of the vehicle was a white male
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: whose description was consistent with Coeburger. Coburger has family in Albrightsville, Pennsylvania,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: learned through a TLO search and Locate Pool database query
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: based on information provided on the WSU website. Coburger is
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: currently a PhD student in criminology at Washington State University.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Pursuing to records provided by a member of the union
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: interview panel for Pullman Police Department, we learned that Coburger's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: past education included undergraduate degrees in psychology and cloud based forensics.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: These records also showed Coeburger wrote an essay when he
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: applied for an internship with the Pullman Police Department in
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: the fall of twenty twenty two. Coeburger wrote in his
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: essay he had an interest in assisting rural law enforcement
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: agencies without a better collect and analyzed technological data in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: public safety operations. Burger also posted a Reddit survey, which
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: can be found on open source Internet search. The survey
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: asked for participants to provide information to understand how emotions
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: and psychological traits influence decision making when committing a crime.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: As part of this investigation, law enforcement obtained search warrants
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: to determine sailor devices that utilize sailor towers in close
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: proximity to the King Road residence on November thirteen, twenty
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: twenty two, between three am and five am. After determining
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: that Koburger was associated to both the twenty fifteen white
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: A Lentre and the eight four five eight phone, investigators
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: reviewed these search warrant returns. A query of the eight
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: four five eight phone in these returns did not show
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: the eight four five eight phone utilizing cellular tower resources
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: in close proximity to the King Road residence between three
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: am and five am. Based on my training experience and
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: conversations with law enforcement officers that specialized in the utilization
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: of sailor telephone records as part of investigations, individuals can
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: either leave their cellular telephone at a different location before
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: committing a crime, or turn their cellular telephone off prior
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: to going to a location to commit a crime. This
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: is done by subjects in an effort to avoid a
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: lerning law enforcement that a sailor device associated with them
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: was in a particular area where a crime is committed.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I also know that on numerous occasions, subjects will surveil
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: an area where they intend to commit a crime prior
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: to the date of the crime. Depending on the circumstances,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: this could be done a few days before or for
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: several months prior to the commission of a crime. During
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: these types of surveillance, it is possible that an individual
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: would not leave their cellular telephone at a separate location
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: or turn it off since they do not plan to
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: commit the offense on that particular day. On December twenty third,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, I applied for and was granted a
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: search warrant for historical phone records between November twelve, twenty
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: twenty two, at twelve am and November fourteenth at twelve
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: am for the eight four five eight phone held by
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: the phone provider at and T approximately twenty four hours
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: preceding and following the times of the homicides. On December
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: twenty third, twenty twenty two, pursuant to the search warrant,
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I received records for the eight four five eight phone
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: from ATNT. These records indicated that the eight four five
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: eight phone is subscribed to by Brian Koeberger at an
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: address in all Brightsville, Pennsylvania, and the account has been
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: opened since June twenty third, twenty twenty two. These records
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: also included historical sellsite location CSLI for the eight four
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: five eight phone. After receiving this information, I consulted with
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: an FBI Special Agent SA that is certified as a
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: member of the Cellular Analysis Survey Team c AST. Members
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: of CAST are certified with the FBI to provide expert
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: testimony in the field of historical CSLI and are required
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: to pass extensive training that includes both written and practical
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: examinations prior to being certified with CAST, as well as
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: the completion of yearly certification requirements. Additionally, the FBI CAST
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: essay that I consulted with has over fifteen years of
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: federal law enforcement experience, which includes six years with the FBI.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: From information provided by CAST, I was able to determine
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: estimated locations for the eight four five eight phone from
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: November twelfth, twenty twenty two, to November thirteen, twenty twenty two,
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: the time period authorized by the court. On November thirteen,
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, at approximately two forty two am, the
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: eight four five eight phone was utilizing cellular resources that
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: provided coverage to sixteen thirty Northeast Valley Road, Apartment G
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: two zero one, Pullman, Washington, hereafter the Coburger Residence. At
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: approximately two forty seven am, the eight four five eight
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: phone utilize cellular resources that provide coverage southeast of the
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: Coburger residence, consistent with the eight four five eight phone
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: leaving the Coburger Residence and traveling south through Pullman, Washington.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: This is consistent with the movement of the wide a lentrum.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: At approximately two forty seven am, the eight four to
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: five eight phone stops reporting to the network, which is
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: consistent with either the phone being in an area without
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: cellular coverage, the connection to the network is disabled, such
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: as putting the phone in airplane mode, or that the
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: phone was turned off. The eight four five eight phone
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: does not report to the network again until approximately four
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: forty eight am, at which time it utilized cellular resources
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: that provide coverage to Idaho State Highway ninety five south
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: of Moscow, Idaho, near Blaine, Idaho, north of Genesee. Between
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: four fifty am and five twenty six am, the phone
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: utilizes cellular resources that are consistent with the eight four
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: five eight phone traveling south on Idaho State Highway ninety
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: five to Genesee, Idaho, then traveling west towards Uniontown, Idaho,
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: and then north back into Pullman, Washington. At approximately five
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: thirty am. The eight four five eight phone is utilizing
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: resources that provide coverage to Pullman, Washington and consistent with
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: the phone traveling back to the Coburger residence. The eight
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: four five eight phones movements are consistent with the movements
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: of the white Aluntra that is observed traveling north on
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Stadium Drive at approximately five to twenty seven am. Based
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: on review of the eight four to five eight phones
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: estimated locations and travel, the eight four five eight phones
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: travel is consistent with that of the White Alauntra. Further
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: review indicated that the eight four five eight phone utilize
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: cellular resources. On November thirteenth, twenty twenty two that are
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: consistent with the eight four five eight phone leaving the
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: area of the Coburger residence at approximately nine am and
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: traveling to Moscow, Idaho. Specifically, the eight four five eight
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: phone utilize cellular resources that would provide coverage to the
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: King Road residence between nine twelve am and nine twenty
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: one AM. The eight four to five eight phone next
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: utilize cellular resources that are consistent with the eight four
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: five eight phone traveling back to the area of the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: Coburger residence and arriving to the area at approximately nine
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: thirty two AM. Below is a depiction not to scale,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: of the possible route taken based off of the cellular
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: site locations. Investigators found that the eight four five eight
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: phone did connect to a cell phone tower that provides
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: service to Moscow on November fourteen, twenty twenty two, but
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: investigators do not believe the eight four five eight phone
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: was in Moscow on that date. The eight four five
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: eight phone has not connected to any towers that provided
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: service to Moscow since that date. Based on my training
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: experience and the facts of the investigation thus far, I
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: believe that Cooburger, the user of the eight four five
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: eight phone, was likely the driver of the white a
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: laundre that is observed departing Pullman, Washington, and that this
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: vehicle is likely suspect Vehicle one. Additionally, the route of
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: travel of the eight four five eight phone during the
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: early morning hours of November thirteen, twenty twenty two, and
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: the lack of the eight four five eight phone reporting
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: to a T and T between two forty seven am
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: and four forty eight AM is consistent with Cooburger attempting
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: to conceal his location during the quadruple homicide that occurred
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: at the King Road Residents Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
• 28:26

• 28:48
  Speaker 1: December twenty third, twenty twenty two. I was granted a
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: search warrant for Coburger's historical CSLI from June twenty three,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, to current prospective location information and a
• 28:59

  Speaker 1: from the time the account was opened in June twenty
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: twenty two. After consulting with cast, sa I was able
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: to determine estimated locations for the eight four five eight
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: phone from June twenty twenty two to present, the time
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: period authorized by the court. The records for the eight
• 29:51
