Latest / Beyond The Horizon / Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger And the Investigation Into Cold Cases
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. I
- 0:05Speaker 1: feel like we've talked about this already before, but I've
- 0:08Speaker 1: seen several headlines in the last couple of days discussing
- 0:12Speaker 1: it again, so I figured we jump back in and
- 0:15Speaker 1: add another episode to the catalog dealing with Brian Cohberger
- 0:20Speaker 1: and the fact that he might be responsible for other
- 0:23Speaker 1: crimes elsewhere. Now, there is no concrete evidence one way
- 0:28Speaker 1: or the other to support that, and as of now,
- 0:31Speaker 1: he's just being investigated for potentially being involved. Previously, we've
- 0:36Speaker 1: talked about this in Pennsylvania, so I was a little
- 0:39Speaker 1: confused when I saw the headlines. But here we are.
- 0:42Speaker 1: So since it's the headline making its way through the
- 0:45Speaker 1: news cycle, we'll pick right back up where we left off,
- 0:48Speaker 1: I guess, and talk a little bit more about Brian
- 0:51Speaker 1: Coberger and the fact that he might be responsible for
- 0:55Speaker 1: some other murders. Today's article is from newsweek headline Brian
- 1:00Speaker 1: Coberger investigated over other homicides. This article was authored by
- 1:06Speaker 1: James Bickerton, and it was back in February when we
- 1:11Speaker 1: were first talking about the information that came to light
- 1:15Speaker 1: about prosecutors in Pennsylvania who were investigating cold cases in
- 1:20Speaker 1: possible relation to Brian Coberger, and back then we heard
- 1:24Speaker 1: those prosecutors tell us that as of that time, they
- 1:27Speaker 1: had made no connections. So let's see if anything is changed.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Police in Pennsylvania are investigating Brian Cooberger over potential involvement
- 1:37Speaker 1: in other outstanding homicides. According to a NewsNation report, Colberger
- 1:42Speaker 1: has been charged with four counts of first degree murder
- 1:45Speaker 1: along with one felony burglary after four University of Idaho
- 1:49Speaker 1: students were stabbed to death by an intruder in the
- 1:52Speaker 1: college town of Moscow, Madison. Mogen, Kaylee Gonsalvis, Xana Kernodle,
- 1:57Speaker 1: and Ethan Chapin were killed with a knight in a
- 2:00Speaker 1: shared student house in the early hours of November thirteenth.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Two other female students who were also in the house
- 2:08Speaker 1: when it was attacked were not harmed. Mogan, gonsalvis, In,
- 2:12Speaker 1: Kernodle all lived in the property, while Chapin was staying
- 2:15Speaker 1: with Kernodle, his girlfriend when the attack occurred. Well, that's
- 2:19Speaker 1: not completely true. Kaylee had moved out already, remember, and
- 2:23Speaker 1: she was just there for the weekend to show her
- 2:25Speaker 1: best friend Maddie her new car, while Coburger has yet
- 2:29Speaker 1: to enter a plea. In January, shortly after his arrest,
- 2:33Speaker 1: his Pennsylvania public defender said he was eager to be exonerated.
- 2:39Speaker 1: If confirmed that authorities are investigating Coburger over other unsolved murders,
- 2:44Speaker 1: the case against him could expand significantly, though this has
- 2:48Speaker 1: not been officially announced. And here's where I'm having some
- 2:52Speaker 1: confusion with the next paragraph. The news that police were
- 2:56Speaker 1: investigating Coburger's possible role in other was broken by News
- 3:01Speaker 1: Nation on Wednesday, with presenter Chris Cuomo saying, tonight, I
- 3:06Speaker 1: can report to you exclusively that authorities in Pennsylvania, where
- 3:11Speaker 1: he was arrested, are investigating potential involvement in other outstanding homicides.
- 3:17Speaker 1: The only problem with that is this isn't breaking news.
- 3:20Speaker 1: We've already talked about this previously, so I was wondering
- 3:24Speaker 1: if anything new was here, and it doesn't look like
- 3:26Speaker 1: anything new has popped up. So I don't know where
- 3:29Speaker 1: they're getting the idea that Chris Cuomo is breaking this,
- 3:33Speaker 1: But I'm looking at an article from February eighth of
- 3:37Speaker 1: this year talking about the same thing, that Pennsylvania police
- 3:41Speaker 1: are sifting through cold cases for possible links to Brian Coberger.
- 3:45Speaker 1: We heard from the Northampton County District and the Lehigh
- 3:49Speaker 1: County prosecutor who told us there were no connections. But
- 3:53Speaker 1: I guess that's what passes for breaking news. Over on
- 3:56Speaker 1: the Chris Cuomo Show, the news was confirmed by Mark Garrett,
- 4:00Speaker 1: a trial attorney, who told Cuomo, yes, I have heard
- 4:03Speaker 1: similar and not just in this case, but virtually every
- 4:07Speaker 1: high profile case that is a circumstantial evidence murder case.
- 4:11Speaker 1: You will almost inevitably hear of other unsolved murders and
- 4:15Speaker 1: law enforcement looks to see if they can link whoever
- 4:18Speaker 1: the suspect is. So no breaking news here, folks, just
- 4:22Speaker 1: the same stuff we've talked about. Oh, I don't know
- 4:24Speaker 1: two months ago. Asked why this would be, Garaghos replied, well,
- 4:29Speaker 1: for one thing, I suppose it fills a vacuum. Why
- 4:32Speaker 1: did somebody do this when you don't have a motive
- 4:35Speaker 1: That is the most obvious explanation. And also the cynic
- 4:38Speaker 1: in me, the defense lawyer in me, suspects it's a
- 4:41Speaker 1: way to dirty somebody up. Cuomo replied that authorities don't
- 4:46Speaker 1: need the smir Coburger, before asking retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffendaffer,
- 4:52Speaker 1: what sort of things the police would be looking for. Yeah,
- 4:55Speaker 1: I doubt they're looking to smear Brian Coberger at this point.
- 4:59Speaker 1: I mean, we've heard some pretty gruesome stuff about the dude,
- 5:03Speaker 1: and I think the circumstantial evidence and the evidence that's
- 5:07Speaker 1: been piled on since then speaks for itself. Nobody needs
- 5:11Speaker 1: to go out and wage a campaign against Brian Coberger.
- 5:15Speaker 1: His actions have done that for him. She said, Well, specifically,
- 5:20Speaker 1: if they have a case which fits the modus operendi
- 5:23Speaker 1: that matches what happened in Idaho, for instance, is the
- 5:26Speaker 1: target a young, beautiful co ed was the weapon of choice,
- 5:30Speaker 1: A knife was the arrival and departure of the individual
- 5:34Speaker 1: in a vehicle as opposed to being dropped off or
- 5:37Speaker 1: by foot. Was the time chosen at this three o'clock
- 5:40Speaker 1: to four o'clock timeframe. All of that fits for what
- 5:43Speaker 1: happened up in Oregon with the Jutans. But remember they've
- 5:46Speaker 1: ruled that out. So why is it that they're looking
- 5:48Speaker 1: at cold cases in Pennsylvania but not up in Oregon.
- 5:52Speaker 1: I just can't shake the feeling that Coburger has something
- 5:55Speaker 1: to do with that. Now, do I have any evidence
- 5:58Speaker 1: to offer you to back that up. I do not.
- 6:00Speaker 1: That's just a gut feeling of mind. But the MO
- 6:03Speaker 1: matches up almost perfectly. The probable cause Affidavid used to
- 6:08Speaker 1: justify Coburger's arrest said phone records indicated he had been
- 6:12Speaker 1: near the Moscow house on at least twelve occasions prior
- 6:16Speaker 1: to the murders, and that DNA link to him was
- 6:19Speaker 1: recovered from a knife sheath found near the scene. Police
- 6:23Speaker 1: have issued search warrants to Google, TikTok and dating app Tender,
- 6:27Speaker 1: requesting information on three of the victims going back to
- 6:31Speaker 1: January twenty twenty one. It's not just three victims, it's
- 6:34Speaker 1: all four victims plus a bunch of redacted names. And
- 6:38Speaker 1: you see, this is why we go through those court documents.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I know that the court documents aren't as fun as
- 6:43Speaker 1: these updates that we do, but I find that they're
- 6:46Speaker 1: crucial for us to know what's going on. We can't
- 6:49Speaker 1: trust the legacy media to keep us up to date.
- 6:52Speaker 1: We can't trust the legacy media to have their story straight.
- 6:55Speaker 1: They never do. Now that doesn't mean nobody in the
- 6:58Speaker 1: legacy media has their shit together, but the vast majority
- 7:02Speaker 1: of these people in the legacy media are nothing more
- 7:05Speaker 1: than screen reading mouthpieces. So that's why we continue with
- 7:09Speaker 1: the long journey to the top of the mountain when
- 7:12Speaker 1: it comes to the core documents. Also, yesterday News Nation
- 7:17Speaker 1: was reporting that one of the victim's IDs was found
- 7:21Speaker 1: in the possession of Brian Coberger. So let's dive into
- 7:25Speaker 1: this article from News Nation and let's see what's up.
- 7:28Speaker 1: Headline sources ID from Idaho killings found in coburger home searches. Well,
- 7:34Speaker 1: that's significant. If that's for real and that's not just
- 7:38Speaker 1: a rumor. If that's actual fact, then Brian Coberger's cooked,
- 7:42Speaker 1: and all of the people over on the Brian Coberger
- 7:45Speaker 1: read it for him, they're all going to be pretty depressed.
- 7:49Speaker 1: This article was authored by Chris Cuomo and Tyler Warnell,
- 7:55Speaker 1: and idconnected to someone from the quadruple homicide Moscow, Idaho,
- 8:00Speaker 1: was found during one of the searches of Brian Colberger's residences.
- 8:04Speaker 1: News Nation has exclusively learned. Police also believe they have
- 8:09Speaker 1: evidence connecting Coburger to alleged cyber stocking of someone from
- 8:14Speaker 1: the Moscow residence where four University of Idaho students were
- 8:18Speaker 1: killed in November. Police arrested Coburger in Pennsylvania at his
- 8:23Speaker 1: parents' home roughly six weeks after the fatal stabbings. Court
- 8:27Speaker 1: documents have revealed police used DNA left on the knife
- 8:31Speaker 1: sheath at the scene to link him to the crime.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So that's pretty damning stuff, folks. If this turns out
- 8:37Speaker 1: to be true and they did find the ID, the
- 8:40Speaker 1: party's over. How else would he come into possession of
- 8:43Speaker 1: that ID. And then if they do find that ID
- 8:46Speaker 1: on him, or if they did find it on him,
- 8:48Speaker 1: all of that circumstantial evidence that all of these contrarians
- 8:53Speaker 1: want to tell you doesn't matter, Oh boy, does it
- 8:56Speaker 1: loom large. Then you see all of these people out
- 8:59Speaker 1: here who were talking about Coburger being innocent or how
- 9:02Speaker 1: the affid David doesn't add up. They don't know what
- 9:06Speaker 1: else the government has. And let me tell you what,
- 9:09Speaker 1: the government never shows up with all of their evidence.
- 9:13Speaker 1: They always have some stuff in reserve. They're gonna wait
- 9:16Speaker 1: for discovery to drop everything on Brian Coburger, and with
- 9:19Speaker 1: a gag order, we're not even gonna know what comes
- 9:22Speaker 1: up in that discovery until we get into a courtroom. So,
- 9:25Speaker 1: if this is indeed true, Coburger certainly already knows that
- 9:29Speaker 1: the government knows that the ID was found. A search
- 9:33Speaker 1: warrant unsealed earlier this year revealed police seised IDs from
- 9:37Speaker 1: Coburger's car, but it did not specify to whom they belonged.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Remember in the AFFID David. In the search warrant, they
- 9:45Speaker 1: had the listings of the things they took and it
- 9:48Speaker 1: was IDs in like a SoC or something like that.
- 9:53Speaker 1: It's a big deal. That is a smoking license. Retired
- 9:56Speaker 1: FBI agent Jennifer Kofendaffer said Thursday, Cuomo, just like the
- 10:01Speaker 1: sheath was a smoking sheath found next to Maddie with
- 10:05Speaker 1: his DNA on that clasp. It's the same thing in
- 10:08Speaker 1: this situation. Why would he have an ID related to
- 10:11Speaker 1: one of those people from that house. That is a
- 10:14Speaker 1: good question, and it's on point. There's no way to
- 10:17Speaker 1: excuse that or explain it. The bodies of Xana kernodle
- 10:21Speaker 1: Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogan, and Kaylee Gonsalbez were found November
- 10:26Speaker 1: thirteenth inside the off campus rental house they lived in.
- 10:29Speaker 1: All were stabbed to death. In addition to the DNA
- 10:33Speaker 1: found on the knife sheath, police say cell phone tower
- 10:35Speaker 1: data puts Coburger near the scene of the crime immediately
- 10:39Speaker 1: after the killings. Police have not yet recovered the murder weapon.
- 10:43Speaker 1: Police would not officially confirm the details of the license
- 10:47Speaker 1: due to a gag order in the case, but high
- 10:50Speaker 1: profile trial attorney Mark Garrigo said it would be a
- 10:53Speaker 1: hurdle for the defense if presented in court. Yeah, no, shit,
- 10:58Speaker 1: like a five hundred foot hurdle. How are you going
- 11:00Speaker 1: to jump over that one? How are you going to
- 11:02Speaker 1: explain that you have the ID of a dead person
- 11:06Speaker 1: with all of the other evidence that's been compiled against you.
- 11:09Speaker 1: So if this is indeed true, then the party's over
- 11:12Speaker 1: for Coburger, And it's not a matter of if the
- 11:15Speaker 1: conviction's coming, it's just a matter of when. All right, folks,
- 11:19Speaker 1: that's going to do it for this one. All of
- 11:21Speaker 1: the information that goes with the episode can be found
- 11:24Speaker 1: in the description box.
