Latest / Crime Stories with Nancy Grace / Body Bags: Four Dead Students in Moscow, Idaho - The Search for a Killer Continues
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: This is Joseph Scott Morgan, host of Bodybags. This week,
- 0:06Speaker 1: I'll be examining the forensics behind the Idaho murders and
- 0:10Speaker 1: what we know about the crime scene. Like my students
- 0:13Speaker 1: right now, I'm away, I'm away from class and I
- 0:16Speaker 1: felt as though that Jackie, you and I need to
- 0:19Speaker 1: have a chat as soon as we possibly could about
- 0:21Speaker 1: this case. Well, we both did indeed plan some time off, Joe,
- 0:24Speaker 1: but you're right, this is really important. When the police
- 0:29Speaker 1: entered that residence, they found something that was just mind blowing.
- 0:33Speaker 1: So two points of entry only, so that actually narrows
- 0:38Speaker 1: down what the police investigators have to look at. And
- 0:41Speaker 1: there's a woodline over to the left. It would have
- 0:44Speaker 1: been a perfect location for somebody that had targeted this
- 0:48Speaker 1: home to be able to stand back there in the
- 0:50Speaker 1: dead of night. Because they believe this happened under cover
- 0:53Speaker 1: of darkness, and a lot of people are asking questions
- 0:55Speaker 1: about the two roommates who survived. The authorities were looking
- 0:59Speaker 1: for what they termed as a military style knife. What
- 1:05Speaker 1: I find interesting is the fact that in using this
- 1:09Speaker 1: style of weapon, it tells me that it probably was
- 1:12Speaker 1: a targeted attack because somebody had to bring that weapon
- 1:16Speaker 1: with them, and those are what we refer to forensics
- 1:19Speaker 1: and in investigations as weapons of convenience. That's not what
- 1:23Speaker 1: we're talking about here. The information released by the corner
- 1:26Speaker 1: in the case says some of the victims had defensive wounds.
- 1:32Speaker 1: Even the most highly skilled forensic biologists that gets on
- 1:35Speaker 1: stand and test pause, they will always have this disclosure.
- 1:40Speaker 1: But what exactly are they looking for? Someone who followed
- 1:43Speaker 1: the girls when they went to the food truck, someone
- 1:46Speaker 1: who might have been outside the hall. I mean, that's
- 1:49Speaker 1: forensic scientist. It's your job to make sense of the chaos.
- 1:52Speaker 1: But we do know they are going to have a
- 1:54Speaker 1: herculean task to be able to try to separate this out.
