- 0:07Speaker 2: Eerie leaked jail videos of Brian Coburger with bright red
- 0:15Speaker 2: hands red red compared to the rest of his arm
- 0:21Speaker 2: bright red hands as American psycho type shirtless selfies emerged
- 0:29Speaker 2: on his phone. I'm Nancy Grace, this is Crime Stories.
- 0:34Speaker 2: I want to thank you for being with us.
- 0:36Speaker 1: I think it was an insult.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Don't ever try to convince yourself you mattered just because
- 0:41Speaker 3: someone finally said your name out loud.
- 0:43Speaker 4: In Cels hate women because they can't get them, because
- 0:46Speaker 4: they got the girl, not him.
- 0:48Speaker 3: If you hadn't attached them in their sleep in the
- 0:51Speaker 3: middle of the night like a pedophile, Kaylie would have
- 0:55Speaker 3: kicked yours.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Thank you, incredibly seedy, Lee, envious and jealous.
- 1:02Speaker 2: Those last words are from Keilli Gonsolvus's sister speaking at sentencing.
- 1:07Speaker 1: You know, drop the my girl. You are awesome.
- 1:11Speaker 2: But to Tonight's stunning reveal, these American psychotype shirtless selfies
- 1:20Speaker 2: and so much more emerging on Brian Coburger's phone. This
- 1:24Speaker 2: as we learn when he leaves the murder scene, and
- 1:29Speaker 2: believe it or not, there's still people fighting online saying
- 1:32Speaker 2: he's innocent and he was framed who himself he pled guilty.
- 1:36Speaker 2: It's emerging now that as he's leaving this horrific.
- 1:40Speaker 1: Crime scene, who does he call mommy? That's freaky.
- 1:47Speaker 2: But first I've got to get to this leaked sell
- 1:51Speaker 2: video joining me in All Star Pound to make sins
- 1:53Speaker 2: of what we're learning.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Let's look at it, everybody.
- 1:55Speaker 2: Let's look at the video together and straight out to
- 1:59Speaker 2: any at least joining us creator CEO of tent to Life, Annie,
- 2:03Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. Let's look at the Oh,
- 2:06Speaker 2: look at the hands. We're looking at it right now.
- 2:09Speaker 2: I don't know if you can see it on your monitor.
- 2:11Speaker 2: And here he is obsessive, obsessively cleaning the cracks and
- 2:16Speaker 2: the little line that goes around the bottom of your shoe.
- 2:21Speaker 2: What he got it in muddy behind bars? No, but
- 2:24Speaker 2: he's recleaning and re cleaning his shoes and looking around awkwardly,
- 2:33Speaker 2: looks very much. You know, this is telling me something else.
- 2:37Speaker 2: It's telling me that the way he looked and sentencing
- 2:40Speaker 2: and the way he looked in court is how he
- 2:43Speaker 2: really looks, kind of a blank, dead stare.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Okay, first of all, I want.
- 2:50Speaker 2: To analyze everything I can glean from this leaked video,
- 2:55Speaker 2: and who leaked it is anybody's guests, you know, Jill's
- 2:58Speaker 2: are falling over themselves to say it's not ours, it's
- 3:00Speaker 2: not ours, Hey, it's somebody's straight out to any at
- 3:04Speaker 2: least any.
- 3:05Speaker 1: What do you observe in the video?
- 3:07Speaker 5: I think it's so interesting because of course everybody is
- 3:10Speaker 5: glued to this trying to analyze it, because it's really
- 3:13Speaker 5: the first movements we have seen it for three years
- 3:16Speaker 5: of him, and we know we've heard that he has OCD.
- 3:20Speaker 5: So he's carefully cleaning the shoe. But I think what
- 3:22Speaker 5: strikes everybody as odd is when he's done cleaning it,
- 3:25Speaker 5: he puts that tissue up on top of the cage
- 3:28Speaker 5: and he just stares there, very still, very intently, looking
- 3:32Speaker 5: above the monitor that's in that cage, and almost looks
- 3:36Speaker 5: as though he's just thinking or evaluating it. And it's
- 3:40Speaker 5: really eerie.
- 3:40Speaker 1: I'm taking a look at him now. Now.
- 3:43Speaker 2: What was your comment regarding how he would look up
- 3:47Speaker 2: at the shelf.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Yeah, when he puts it up, you can see a
- 3:50Speaker 5: little bit if you look at his eyes, he's looking
- 3:53Speaker 5: directly above whatever's inside that cage, whether it's a TV screen,
- 3:57Speaker 5: some sort of maybe perhaps a tablet. I don't think
- 3:59Speaker 5: it's tablet though, I don't think he has.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Access to that.
- 4:02Speaker 5: And he's almost staring right above it, just looking at it.
- 4:05Speaker 5: I don't know if it's because he's angry at not
- 4:08Speaker 5: throwing it away because he doesn't want to contaminate the
- 4:11Speaker 5: sel I don't know why he wouldn't throw it away.
- 4:12Speaker 5: There's a trash can right there, but it just seems
- 4:16Speaker 5: very bizarre that he would use it to clean so intently.
- 4:18Speaker 6: Put it in.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Any elise any ELISEO.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Hold on, Annie, he can put trash in the trash can.
- 4:26Speaker 1: It would make the trash can dirty.
- 4:29Speaker 2: You're right, you remember, hold on, I got to throw
- 4:31Speaker 2: something at you. Hold on just a moment, but I'm
- 4:34Speaker 2: going to go very quickly to Chris McDonough joining me.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Has worked over three hundred homicide cases. I found him
- 4:41Speaker 2: on YouTube on his show The interview Room, former homicide detective.
- 4:47Speaker 2: Remember when he was arrested at his parents' place near
- 4:50Speaker 2: the Poconas, Remember that, and he was Annie, You've got
- 4:54Speaker 2: to remember this. And he was wearing plastic gloves at
- 4:57Speaker 2: like three o'clock in the morning, like a surgeon. And
- 5:02Speaker 2: we're wearing boxer shorts or shorts, and he was taking
- 5:07Speaker 2: trash and putting in plastic bags before the plastic bags
- 5:12Speaker 2: would be put into the trash, and then putting that
- 5:15Speaker 2: trash in the neighbors trash ban. So this guy is
- 5:20Speaker 2: not going to just throw something in the trash can,
- 5:22Speaker 2: especially something that might be dirty where he had re
- 5:26Speaker 2: cleaned his shoes behind bars.
- 5:28Speaker 7: Nancy, If we take a look at this video, there's
- 5:30Speaker 7: a couple of things that are pretty obvious here. Number
- 5:33Speaker 7: one is it's got to be a medical facility in
- 5:36Speaker 7: terms of a cell withinside of the jail or wherever
- 5:40Speaker 7: this is from, because there are two windows on the wall.
- 5:43Speaker 7: There's one on the door, if you'll notice, and then
- 5:45Speaker 7: there's one on the wall, and then inside of the
- 5:48Speaker 7: trash can there's a plastic bag and on the wall
- 5:51Speaker 7: there's a cord hanging down, and then of course it's
- 5:54Speaker 7: a medical bed and then there's railings around the toilet.
- 5:57Speaker 7: That means one of two things. A's in observation or
- 6:01Speaker 7: B they signed off that he's not a threat to
- 6:04Speaker 7: himself because that bag and that cord would not be
- 6:08Speaker 7: in that room absolutely.
- 6:10Speaker 2: Plus did you see the bedspread? I don't know if
- 6:12Speaker 2: you said that, I didn't hear you say. The bedspread
- 6:14Speaker 2: doesn't look like a uniform bedspread that you would see
- 6:17Speaker 2: in a cell, also in.
- 6:18Speaker 1: A regular cell.
- 6:19Speaker 2: I mean you remember the disarray in Jeffrey Epstein's cell,
- 6:22Speaker 2: which is totally totally not sop here. There's too much
- 6:28Speaker 2: stuff in a room if he was on suicide Watch exactly.
- 6:32Speaker 7: And that bed is a medical bed.
- 6:34Speaker 1: You can see it.
- 6:35Speaker 7: I mean even at the top. It's not the railing
- 6:37Speaker 7: on it. Still, so I took her observation here, and
- 6:42Speaker 7: whoever took this.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Show she did with styrofoam cups in his room?
- 6:47Speaker 1: Wait a minute, why what is he getting hot coco?
- 6:51Speaker 2: See those styrofham cups up there on the shelf.
- 6:56Speaker 1: He's not supposed to have that in his room. Where
- 6:58Speaker 1: is this place?
- 6:59Speaker 2: No, of course, this video is yett to be verified
- 7:02Speaker 2: by authorities, and the jails are falling all over themselves saying, hey,
- 7:05Speaker 2: we didn't leak it. Somebody leaked it, okay. Why is
- 7:08Speaker 2: he having hot cocoa behind bars? Why does he hat
- 7:11Speaker 2: starfham cups in there?
- 7:12Speaker 7: Well, that tells us he said two meals because he
- 7:16Speaker 7: comes with a drink and so he's he's saving those
- 7:21Speaker 7: cups for something and the staff is letting them have it.
- 7:24Speaker 7: To your point, So yeah, this is a medical situation.
- 7:28Speaker 7: I think before they put him into isolation, did.
- 7:31Speaker 1: Somebody bring you hot chocolate in bed? Because nobody brings
- 7:35Speaker 1: me hot chocolate? Why is he getting his How can he?
- 7:39Speaker 1: How is he allowed to keep all that in his room?
- 7:42Speaker 2: Is totally completely against the ordnance behind bars only I
- 7:48Speaker 2: don't care. But the thing is, he could do something
- 7:52Speaker 2: with all of those items, like it's claimed Epstein did.
- 7:55Speaker 2: He allegedly hung himself. Okay, that's bs. But that said,
- 7:59Speaker 2: that's why inmates are not allowed to have all the
- 8:03Speaker 2: accoutrement with them behind bars. So is he getting his
- 8:08Speaker 2: food in that room? He never leaves to even eat?
- 8:12Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, and that's why there are three levels
- 8:14Speaker 7: of observation.
- 8:15Speaker 8: Right.
- 8:15Speaker 7: You got the two windows of one on the door,
- 8:18Speaker 7: one on the wall, and of course the video observation.
- 8:20Speaker 7: You've got eyes on this guy at all times, and
- 8:23Speaker 7: maybe this is part of the where docs are looking
- 8:27Speaker 7: at him going okay, he's not doing that, doing that
- 8:30Speaker 7: and that you know, that's out of my pay grade. Right,
- 8:32Speaker 7: But at the same time, maybe this is part of
- 8:35Speaker 7: what are we where are we going to put this guy?
- 8:38Speaker 7: And how off is she just yet?
- 8:40Speaker 2: Well, another issue is some of the shoes look like
- 8:43Speaker 2: they may have shoelaces.
- 8:45Speaker 1: That's totally disallowed.
- 8:47Speaker 2: You put two shoelaces together and suddenly you've got the
- 8:51Speaker 2: means when you can strangle yourself or somebody else.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Macdona.
- 8:56Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, no, you're one hundred percent right, Nancy. And
- 8:59Speaker 7: that's that's why we got to take a fifty to
- 9:02Speaker 7: fifty looking at this thing and saying, Okay, could this
- 9:04Speaker 7: be AI generated and or if it is belonging to
- 9:08Speaker 7: the facility. Those are very legitimate questions that you just
- 9:12Speaker 7: are statements that you just made. He shouldn't have those situations.
- 9:16Speaker 2: I would not have imagined he would be in a
- 9:19Speaker 2: sale of this nature.
- 9:21Speaker 1: You know, joining me right now.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Karen Start, forensic psychologists, renowned TV radio trauma expert and
- 9:27Speaker 2: consultant at Karenstark dot com. Karen, what are you making
- 9:32Speaker 2: of what we are seeing?
- 9:34Speaker 6: So, Nancy, what we see is somebody who's very, very
- 9:38Speaker 6: anxious and think about who he is. He's a person
- 9:41Speaker 6: who needs to be isolated. He doesn't have contacts in
- 9:45Speaker 6: his phone, only eighteen He keeps himself to except for
- 9:48Speaker 6: his family dependency. He's on his own. And what I'm
- 9:52Speaker 6: looking at is somebody who's very anxious. We know about
- 9:56Speaker 6: the staring, we know about the fact that he has
- 9:59Speaker 6: that looking a eyes, and he's a killer and a monster,
- 10:03Speaker 6: but here he is just looking ahead, looking at his shoes,
- 10:06Speaker 6: very obsessive, compulsive, and I feel like he's extremely anxious
- 10:11Speaker 6: because he's being observed and he's not used to anything
- 10:16Speaker 6: like that. He keeps to himself. Also, the red, the
- 10:20Speaker 6: fact that his hands are red. It's as though you
- 10:23Speaker 6: know he's calling out, I'm in distress. I don't know
- 10:27Speaker 6: what that red is. If he cut himself and he
- 10:29Speaker 6: was bleeding, but he's having a really difficult time. Karen
- 10:33Speaker 6: being the air.
- 10:34Speaker 2: The red hands say, well, how in the world do
- 10:38Speaker 2: having really red hands equal crying out?
- 10:42Speaker 1: I'm in distress.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just a trial lawyer, but I don't
- 10:45Speaker 2: understand what you just said.
- 10:46Speaker 6: Well, to me, it's just it doesn't make any sense.
- 10:49Speaker 6: It's very spooky, like why are his hands red and
- 10:53Speaker 6: he knows.
- 10:53Speaker 1: He's being abl I think I've got a pretty.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Good idea because he washes them obsessively. As we have
- 11:00Speaker 2: discussed in previous programs. He washes his hands to the
- 11:04Speaker 2: point his hands are absolutely cracking open and red.
- 11:09Speaker 1: That's why his hands are red.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Okay, so again, I'm just a trial lawyer, but as
- 11:15Speaker 2: a psychoanalyst, what does that tell you?
- 11:17Speaker 6: Well, that tells me he's obsessive compulsive. That's what he does,
- 11:21Speaker 6: just the way you see him cleaning his shoes. Nancy,
- 11:24Speaker 6: that's exactly what he's doing with his hands. He's doing
- 11:28Speaker 6: it over and over again, and that's how he copes
- 11:32Speaker 6: with his anxiety. He gets fixated on things. And this
- 11:36Speaker 6: is such a great example of somebody who's fixating on
- 11:40Speaker 6: a shoe and then staring at that.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Shelf whatever is there.
- 11:44Speaker 6: And if in fact that's why his hands are red,
- 11:47Speaker 6: he just washes them. As you said, over and over
- 11:50Speaker 6: and over.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Crime Stores with Nancy Gray to any Elise joining us,
- 12:07Speaker 2: what's the word on where this.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Video came from?
- 12:11Speaker 2: Is it like in the Shawn Combs Cassi e Venturia
- 12:14Speaker 2: beatdown video where someone is videoing a screen because it
- 12:19Speaker 2: appears I don't understand it appears out of the video.
- 12:22Speaker 2: You can see that storage shelf.
- 12:24Speaker 5: Yes, you can also see at the very start of
- 12:27Speaker 5: the video the corner of what looks to be a
- 12:29Speaker 5: computer monitor. So I believe that it's somebody who works
- 12:34Speaker 5: inside this facility who maybe wanted to show off to
- 12:37Speaker 5: their friends or family and say, look who's in our
- 12:39Speaker 5: facility who I'm watching? And they're videoing the actual monitor
- 12:44Speaker 5: of the recording inside the cell, and then they share
- 12:47Speaker 5: it with one person. That of course gets shared, ends
- 12:50Speaker 5: up all over the internet and goes viral.
- 12:52Speaker 4: See those droplets of blood right there, do you know
- 12:54Speaker 4: what that means? He was standing there with a knife
- 12:58Speaker 4: in his hand.
- 12:59Speaker 7: That is our cur spray where Ethan's throat was cut,
- 13:03Speaker 7: and every heartbeat create that pattern of blood.
- 13:08Speaker 4: The brutality here that has been exacted on these kids
- 13:11Speaker 4: is unimaginable.
- 13:13Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
- 13:15Speaker 2: In the newly emerged jail house video linked by investigation pending,
- 13:22Speaker 2: the video is infuriating victims' rights advocates who think about
- 13:28Speaker 2: the brutality and how these four beautiful young students were murdered.
- 13:34Speaker 2: And now he has what a penhouse sweet at the jail,
- 13:39Speaker 2: He's got a huge bed by jail house standards as
- 13:43Speaker 2: opposed to a bunk. He has look at this plenty
- 13:48Speaker 2: of walking around room, shelfs multiple pairs of shoes.
- 13:53Speaker 1: He's he's doing fine.
- 13:57Speaker 2: The lead video has yet to be verified by authority,
- 14:00Speaker 2: but now his selfies, his freaky American psychotype selfies, are emerging.
- 14:07Speaker 1: Listen.
- 14:08Speaker 9: Besides the chilling selfie he took giving the thumbs up
- 14:11Speaker 9: hours after murdering four university students, Coburger's cell phone is
- 14:15Speaker 9: filled with creepy selfies posing shirtless and flexing his muscles.
- 14:20Speaker 9: Had Coburger gone to trial, experts from Celebright would have
- 14:23Speaker 9: testified about Coburger's phone and how he attempted to hide
- 14:27Speaker 9: his movements by powering off his phone with one hundred
- 14:30Speaker 9: percent battery driving to and from the crime scene, and
- 14:33Speaker 9: how his cell phone use would have taken down his alibi,
- 14:36Speaker 9: claiming he was driving around in the dark looking at stars.
- 14:40Speaker 9: Celebright expert Heather Barnhart says, if you're stargazing and taking
- 14:44Speaker 9: pictures of the sky, your phone needs to.
- 14:47Speaker 1: Be on and joining us right now. A very special guest.
- 14:50Speaker 2: Heather Barnhardt Lee, digital forensic investigator in the Brian Coburger case,
- 14:56Speaker 2: SAMs Institute fellow that System Administrative Audit, Network and Security
- 15:02Speaker 2: Senior director of forensic research celebrit which we learned way
- 15:08Speaker 2: too much about during the Alexan Marlaud double murder case.
- 15:12Speaker 2: She is also co author of Practical Mobile Forensics. Heather,
- 15:17Speaker 2: thank you so much for being with us. Tell us
- 15:20Speaker 2: what you meant by that statement.
- 15:23Speaker 1: He had so many selfies on this device. Brian Cooberger
- 15:27Speaker 1: loved himself.
- 15:28Speaker 10: There was a level of vanity and even if you
- 15:31Speaker 10: look at that image right.
- 15:31Speaker 1: There, the scrubbing of his knuckles, the redness in his
- 15:34Speaker 1: hands in the cell, he was obsessive.
- 15:36Speaker 10: He didn't like to be dirty, but he loved to
- 15:39Speaker 10: look at himself. We found cashed YouTube images of Christian
- 15:43Speaker 10: Bale as American psycho, standing in front of.
- 15:46Speaker 1: A mirror with blood spattered on his face.
- 15:49Speaker 10: And as you can see in many of these selfies,
- 15:51Speaker 10: he has that same look. He has that same dead
- 15:54Speaker 10: stare in almost this vain appreciation who he is and
- 15:59Speaker 10: what he thinks he is.
- 16:00Speaker 1: What else did you observe on Kyberger's phone? Oh my gosh.
- 16:05Speaker 1: So he was obsessed with serial killers.
- 16:08Speaker 10: He searched for non consensual porn acts.
- 16:14Speaker 1: He also was really paranoid.
- 16:16Speaker 10: In December, a few days before his arrests, he was
- 16:19Speaker 10: searching for ways to detail his car, possibly get rid
- 16:22Speaker 10: of his car.
- 16:24Speaker 1: So we know when you're searching for.
- 16:27Speaker 10: Psychopath paranoia, and I believe I heard he didn't want
- 16:31Speaker 10: to be called a psychopath. He knows he is, and
- 16:33Speaker 10: he was searching for that. He was extremely paranoid, but
- 16:37Speaker 10: also obsessed with just reading the behaviors and lifestyles of
- 16:41Speaker 10: serial killers.
- 16:43Speaker 2: When you say he would read about the lifestyles of
- 16:45Speaker 2: serial killers, what do you mean?
- 16:47Speaker 1: What was he looking up? On Christmas night? Right before
- 16:51Speaker 1: It's to the twenty six.
- 16:53Speaker 10: Brian went to serial killer timelines on Android and he
- 16:57Speaker 10: clicked on link after link two times for Danny Rowling,
- 17:03Speaker 10: Dennis Raider, Ted Bundy, and so many more. But what
- 17:06Speaker 10: he was reading where these serial killers were born, what
- 17:09Speaker 10: type of families they came from, what their crime was,
- 17:12Speaker 10: how they got called, did they ever hurt any pets?
- 17:16Speaker 10: It was extremely creepy. And think about the timeline. It's
- 17:18Speaker 10: Christmas night.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Most people aren't going to read about serial killers.
- 17:21Speaker 2: You know, I was looking at your analysis, Heather Barnhart,
- 17:24Speaker 2: and for hours he looked up Betty Lou Beats, Randy Kraft,
- 17:31Speaker 2: William Lee, Danny Rowling, Jewel Rifkin, Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy,
- 17:38Speaker 2: so many others, Rodney el Kowa, Robert Hanson, Gary Ridgeway. Wow,
- 17:46Speaker 2: it just Ed Kemper, one of the worst Dennis Raider
- 17:50Speaker 2: aka buying torture kill BTK. And that is on is
- 17:55Speaker 2: it Christmas night or Christmas Eve night?
- 17:58Speaker 10: It's on Christmas Night into the hours of the twenty
- 18:01Speaker 10: sixth of December.
- 18:03Speaker 2: And you said he had a huge cash of American
- 18:06Speaker 2: Psycho saved.
- 18:08Speaker 1: What they were they steals? Did he actually download the movie?
- 18:12Speaker 10: They were still shots from YouTube, So it's almost as
- 18:15Speaker 10: if he either captured it or his android captured it
- 18:18Speaker 10: on his behalf as he was watching. He watched Ed
- 18:20Speaker 10: Kemper mannerisms on YouTube. So different things that just don't
- 18:26Speaker 10: make sense, even if your criminology major do not make sense.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Now that's interesting that you said that, because I imagine
- 18:32Speaker 2: that the defense would be, well, he's a criminology student,
- 18:36Speaker 2: and that's why he's doing this. But you say, and
- 18:38Speaker 2: I agree that it doesn't make sense.
- 18:41Speaker 1: I have my own reasons, such as he's doing.
- 18:44Speaker 2: It on Christmas Night number one, but studying it and
- 18:49Speaker 2: getting screen grabs of Christian Bale without a shirt on bail.
- 18:55Speaker 1: That's not real. Okay, Christian Bale is not a serial killer.
- 18:59Speaker 1: But yet his.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Getting these shirtless selfies type shots of bail and saving
- 19:05Speaker 2: them and then re enacting them. So that has nothing
- 19:10Speaker 2: to do with his criminology degree.
- 19:13Speaker 1: But why do you say that, Heather.
- 19:15Speaker 10: I majored in forensic science. I majored in bloodstain pattern analysis.
- 19:20Speaker 10: You would get research projects. Your research wasn't to research
- 19:24Speaker 10: every single one. And repeatedly he visited Danny Rowling twice
- 19:29Speaker 10: on Christmas night and once earlier in November, so it
- 19:33Speaker 10: was repetitive reading. Almost to me, it felt like bedtime reading,
- 19:38Speaker 10: something that would relax him because he was home with
- 19:40Speaker 10: mother and father, so he didn't need them to put
- 19:43Speaker 10: him to sleep. Instead, he leaned into something like this.
- 19:46Speaker 1: Heather, do not move a hair? Joining me now?
- 19:49Speaker 2: Is Josh Colesrude, renowned criminal defense attorney, former assistant US attorney,
- 19:57Speaker 2: founder of coles Rude Law Offices. Josh, do your clients
- 20:04Speaker 2: ever totally scape you out?
- 20:07Speaker 8: Yes, of course, But you know I try to remain
- 20:10Speaker 8: objective throughout anything. I mean, when I was a prosecutor,
- 20:15Speaker 8: you know, we had situations that are very similar to
- 20:18Speaker 8: this case. As well, and you know, the most important
- 20:21Speaker 8: thing is to remain objective. And when looking at the
- 20:24Speaker 8: jail video in particular, the first thing that I think
- 20:27Speaker 8: about is that if this video is real, that it's
- 20:33Speaker 8: a betrayal of prison security. And if it's not real,
- 20:37Speaker 8: or then.
- 20:38Speaker 2: You're telling me Brian Coberger had his privacy violated, that's
- 20:44Speaker 2: your worry.
- 20:45Speaker 1: He's taking screen.
- 20:47Speaker 2: Grabs of Christian Bale, who plays American Psycho, and storing them.
- 20:54Speaker 2: He's obsessively reading bedtime stories about serial killers on Christmas Night.
- 21:00Speaker 2: And the first thing that comes out of your defense
- 21:02Speaker 2: attorney mouth is his rights have been violated because somebody's
- 21:07Speaker 2: peaked on him as he's shining his shoes.
- 21:09Speaker 1: Again, do you said that right?
- 21:13Speaker 8: So what's concerning for me is that number one, the
- 21:18Speaker 8: victims of this crime, their families don't want to keep
- 21:22Speaker 8: seeing Brian Coberger on TV being analyzed and being utalized
- 21:27Speaker 8: into a cult like figure. I mean, people aren't watching
- 21:31Speaker 8: this to learn, They're watching it to peak at a
- 21:34Speaker 8: monster in a cage, and that says more about us
- 21:38Speaker 8: than really then it says him.
- 21:40Speaker 2: Okay, first you said his rights were violated, and when
- 21:44Speaker 2: I got three inches up your tail pot. You went, oh, erase, erase,
- 21:49Speaker 2: Jurassic erase. What I meant to say is that I'm
- 21:51Speaker 2: all about the victims' families and I don't want them
- 21:55Speaker 2: to have to look at Coburger again. So that's your
- 21:58Speaker 2: backup argument. I'm asking you about creepy clients. At first,
- 22:04Speaker 2: you say Coleburger's rights have been violated because I can
- 22:06Speaker 2: watch them in a cell. Now you're saying what you
- 22:10Speaker 2: meant to say was you were trying to defend the victims.
- 22:13Speaker 8: There are many reasons why this video is disturbing, and
- 22:18Speaker 8: it's not just for those two reasons. There's also the
- 22:22Speaker 8: idea that even inmates have a right to privacy, and
- 22:27Speaker 8: if you just give that up and you strip that away,
- 22:30Speaker 8: then we erode the foundation of what our entire system
- 22:33Speaker 8: is based on, which is the rule of law, that
- 22:36Speaker 8: it's the justice is blind, that we apply the rules
- 22:40Speaker 8: equally to everyone. And that's what we're trying to say here.
- 22:44Speaker 8: This obsession with seeing Coburger behind bars, it really does
- 22:48Speaker 8: risk quadruple murder into somebody that's a cult like figure
- 22:53Speaker 8: instead of where he belongs, which is forgotten.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Well, maybe that's your interpretation Cole's rude thing, in my mind,
- 23:01Speaker 2: is turning him into a cult like figure to be
- 23:04Speaker 2: worshiped and admired again. The video has yet to be
- 23:07Speaker 2: verified by authorities. A couple of jails are going, oh,
- 23:10Speaker 2: it's not us. But as you heard earlier, Chris mcdonoughh
- 23:15Speaker 2: was stating, that's not a typical jail cell.
- 23:18Speaker 1: This looks like it's on a MED unit.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And I don't think it's going to be a typical
- 23:23Speaker 2: cell in any of two jailhouses I can think of.
- 23:26Speaker 1: So I went to Josh Cole rude to.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Ask him would he be schemed out basically by a
- 23:32Speaker 2: client who is for enjoyment bedtime reading about all these
- 23:37Speaker 2: serial killers and speaking of Ed Kemper as I recall
- 23:41Speaker 2: and correct me if I'm wrong, I've got a feeling
- 23:43Speaker 2: Heather Barnhart might know the answer to this.
- 23:45Speaker 1: His first victim was his own grandmother.
- 23:48Speaker 2: He shot her with a rifle and he said, I
- 23:51Speaker 2: wanted to see what it feels like to shoot up grandma,
- 23:55Speaker 2: words to that effect. So he does have that in
- 23:59Speaker 2: simpatico with Brian Coberger, because I believe he committed the
- 24:03Speaker 2: merger to quote see what.
- 24:04Speaker 1: It felt like.
- 24:06Speaker 2: See him reading about Ed Kemper on Christmas Night. That
- 24:12Speaker 2: scheves me out totally. And I have been with a
- 24:14Speaker 2: lot of killers. I've interviewed them, I've prosecuted them, I've
- 24:19Speaker 2: investigated them, I have covered them. I've studied them right
- 24:23Speaker 2: down to their DNA. And I got to tell you something, Heather,
- 24:26Speaker 2: I don't know what Cole's root is talking about.
- 24:28Speaker 1: Now. He's a victim's rights advocate.
- 24:30Speaker 2: He is a criminal defense attorney, and a really good
- 24:33Speaker 2: one at that. Heather Kemper, Christmas night, ten o'clock. What
- 24:39Speaker 2: with his pj's tucked into is now? I put some
- 24:42Speaker 2: guys will tuck the shirt into the pants and then
- 24:46Speaker 2: the pants get tucked into the socks.
- 24:48Speaker 1: I could just totally see that happening.
- 24:50Speaker 2: And reading about Kemper, whose first victim with his grandma
- 24:53Speaker 2: is own grandma.
- 24:54Speaker 10: You know when you say grandma, and the way Brian
- 24:57Speaker 10: saved mother and father and even texted where is father?
- 25:03Speaker 10: I won't father answer. It's too many similar behaviors.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Okay, before you start talking about him, going father, why
- 25:12Speaker 2: want mother pick up the phone?
- 25:14Speaker 1: That's a whole other can of worms. Can I get?
- 25:17Speaker 1: You know? I got to get this bus to steer
- 25:19Speaker 1: it back in the middle of the road.
- 25:20Speaker 2: I'm talking about Coburger freakily screen grabbing Christian Bale and
- 25:26Speaker 2: then making replica shirtless Selfie's flexing his muscles. Tell me
- 25:32Speaker 2: about the images ether we found.
- 25:34Speaker 1: So my husband worked this case with me, so it
- 25:37Speaker 1: was so crazy.
- 25:38Speaker 10: Imagine our conversations at home, but pictures not only just
- 25:42Speaker 10: forward in the mirror, but.
- 25:43Speaker 1: From behind, so he would get the.
- 25:45Speaker 10: Mirror reflection back while he was flexing.
- 25:50Speaker 11: A location of your emergency? Of the emergency? What is
- 26:06Speaker 11: the rest of the address?
- 26:09Speaker 6: Oh roads?
- 26:11Speaker 11: Okay? And there's a a house for and apartment. It's
- 26:14Speaker 11: a house. Can you repeat theadress to make sure that
- 26:17Speaker 11: I have it right.
- 26:19Speaker 6: I'll talk to you guys were we live at the lights,
- 26:22Speaker 6: so we're next to them.
- 26:24Speaker 11: I need someone to repeat the address for raification.
- 26:27Speaker 1: The address one one to two King Roads.
- 26:31Speaker 12: His searches were not limited to violent porn. Coberger's laptop
- 26:35Speaker 12: searches reveal his obsession with serial killers, co ed killers,
- 26:39Speaker 12: home invasions, burglaries, and psychopaths, and his obsession with the
- 26:43Speaker 12: Gainesville Ripper Danny Rowling. Rolling broke into the homes of
- 26:47Speaker 12: University of Florida students at night, murdering five, four female
- 26:50Speaker 12: and one male, raping the young women, decapitating one of
- 26:53Speaker 12: them and posing her head on the mantle in her home.
- 26:56Speaker 12: Rolling's murder weapon, just like Coburger A Kay barn Coburger
- 27:01Speaker 12: even downloaded a PDF about Rolling on his phone and
- 27:04Speaker 12: watched a YouTube video about a k bar knife, and.
- 27:07Speaker 2: We wonder where Coburger got his inspiration. Straight back out
- 27:12Speaker 2: to Heather Barnhart, joining US lead digital forensic investigator in
- 27:16Speaker 2: the Brian Coburger case, Heather, the obsession with serial killers
- 27:24Speaker 2: goes much deeper than we were originally led to believe,
- 27:29Speaker 2: and I feel confident if this case had been taken
- 27:33Speaker 2: to a jury, the jury would agree with everything that
- 27:37Speaker 2: you are saying.
- 27:39Speaker 1: Now.
- 27:39Speaker 2: The shirtless selfies you were describing that earlier, and taken
- 27:45Speaker 2: by Coburger at various angles that are eerily similar to
- 27:51Speaker 2: screen grabs he had from American Psycho the serial killer,
- 27:55Speaker 2: could you describe them, please, Heather.
- 27:58Speaker 13: Sure, he would take a sure off and stand in
- 28:01Speaker 13: his bathroom mirror and flex his muscles, but kate photos
- 28:05Speaker 13: of himself from multiple angles, so head on from behind
- 28:09Speaker 13: profile view and it was eerily similar to Christian Bale
- 28:13Speaker 13: in American Psycho, which was also present on his phone.
- 28:16Speaker 2: Guys, you're saying some of the shots we have a
- 28:19Speaker 2: Coburger and his selfies. Heather, what you are telling us
- 28:26Speaker 2: is far more extensive than what we have been told
- 28:30Speaker 2: about his online searches. I'm curious as to what you
- 28:35Speaker 2: learned about searches as it pertains to attacking women when
- 28:42Speaker 2: they are passed out, drunk and some type of a stupor.
- 28:47Speaker 1: What did you learn?
- 28:48Speaker 13: Everything he searched for was non consensual sex acts, so
- 28:51Speaker 13: think rape, sleeping, passed out, voyeurism. Nothing was what we
- 28:59Speaker 13: would tip in digital forensics called normal porn searches.
- 29:02Speaker 2: We also learn of Ciberger's attempt to erase everything digitally.
- 29:08Speaker 12: Listen three days after the murders, Coburger runs an eraser
- 29:11Speaker 12: software on his laptop which is used to wipe data
- 29:14Speaker 12: from the hard drive. The Celebrate team uncovers digital evidence
- 29:18Speaker 12: even after Coburger's best effort to scrub anything incriminating from
- 29:21Speaker 12: his laptop and cell phone. They even discovered a pattern
- 29:25Speaker 12: where Coberger went to extreme lengths to try to delete
- 29:28Speaker 12: and hide his digital footprint using VPNs incognito modes and
- 29:34Speaker 12: clearing his browsing history.
- 29:35Speaker 13: Heather, what does that mean he intended to commit this murder,
- 29:40Speaker 13: all these murders. He purposely powered down his own He
- 29:44Speaker 13: purposely cleaned up data from the device. And what's interesting
- 29:48Speaker 13: is the gap is about a month before the murders
- 29:51Speaker 13: even happened. So what was on that computer that he
- 29:53Speaker 13: needed to hide? That's what always drives me insane with
- 29:57Speaker 13: this investigation.
- 29:58Speaker 1: What exactly is incognito?
- 30:00Speaker 13: Incognitom mode is something specific to the Chrome browser that
- 30:04Speaker 13: lets you remain anonymous. It's not supposed to track any
- 30:07Speaker 13: of your browser history. However, just like leading the sheet
- 30:10Speaker 13: behind at the crime scene, he made mistakes. He downloaded
- 30:14Speaker 13: if you bookmark and autofill, so as you're typing things
- 30:18Speaker 13: that you want to see when you're in private browsing
- 30:20Speaker 13: or incognito, autofil remembers it because our computers and phones
- 30:25Speaker 13: want to please us. They know that we are lazy
- 30:27Speaker 13: humans that just want repetitive nature, So it remembers so
- 30:31Speaker 13: it can remind you.
- 30:38Speaker 1: Crime stores. With Nancy Grace.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Joining us, Annie Elise, creator and CEO of Tend to
- 30:48Speaker 2: Life and Star Off Seriously, I hit podcasts Annie again,
- 30:53Speaker 2: thank you for being with us. It's my understanding that
- 30:58Speaker 2: immediately after the murders, as soon as he turned his
- 31:01Speaker 2: cellphone back on, he called his mother, explain what you know.
- 31:07Speaker 5: So they spoke on and off throughout the entire day,
- 31:10Speaker 5: and one of those conversations was around ninety minutes long, which,
- 31:14Speaker 5: of course, in hindsight, I would be very curious to
- 31:17Speaker 5: know what those conversations looked like. But it's interesting we
- 31:20Speaker 5: have heard that he is very socially isolated, that Brian
- 31:24Speaker 5: has struggled to form personal pose connections with peers, with partners.
- 31:29Speaker 5: So through my case coverage and other cases, what I've
- 31:31Speaker 5: learned from that is that people who are like often
- 31:35Speaker 5: heavily lean on a parent, usually the mother too. They
- 31:38Speaker 5: want that emotional regulation, they want to feel grounded. So
- 31:42Speaker 5: I think that it makes sense that after the murders
- 31:45Speaker 5: he was trying to find his mom when he couldn't
- 31:47Speaker 5: get a hold of her, That's when he texts his
- 31:49Speaker 5: dad saying father, why did mother not respond? And I
- 31:52Speaker 5: think him calling her repeatedly and just wanting to have
- 31:55Speaker 5: those conversations with her, with her throughout the day could
- 31:59Speaker 5: reflect his need reassurance for feeling grounded, especially if he
- 32:03Speaker 5: was stressed and reeling from these murders.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Heyler Barnhart with US lead digital forensics investigator in the
- 32:09Speaker 2: Brian Coburger case.
- 32:10Speaker 1: Is that true his long, long.
- 32:14Speaker 2: Extended conversations with his mother, including immediately after the murders.
- 32:18Speaker 13: It's true, and this is typical behavior for Brian Colberger.
- 32:22Speaker 13: He every single morning, as early as five am his
- 32:25Speaker 13: time up until he would finally go to sleep at night,
- 32:28Speaker 13: constantly reaching out to mother and father.
- 32:30Speaker 2: Okay, joining me, Karen starked roround forensic psychologist, TV radio
- 32:37Speaker 2: trauma expert.
- 32:37Speaker 1: What does it mean, Karen well A means.
- 32:39Speaker 6: He never let go of his attachment to his parents, Nancy.
- 32:44Speaker 6: He really didn't have friends, and he was overly dependent
- 32:47Speaker 6: on them, so they were everything to him. When he's anxious,
- 32:52Speaker 6: when something happens, he's calling them and only them, and
- 32:56Speaker 6: at his age, you never see that development. That's because
- 33:03Speaker 6: that's not somebody who's a grown up.
- 33:04Speaker 2: You know too, Doctor Prea benergy In joining US board
- 33:07Speaker 2: certified forensic pathologist at Anchor Forensics Pathology, Doctor Priya, I'm
- 33:14Speaker 2: trying to figure out because I think there's a tie
- 33:17Speaker 2: in here. What is your analysis of why his hands
- 33:21Speaker 2: are so bright Neon red in that late jailhouse video.
- 33:26Speaker 14: Oh yes, I think it's uh, you know, the soap's
- 33:31Speaker 14: not the nicest, probably right, And I think that it's
- 33:35Speaker 14: a harsh soap and it is repetitive use. You know,
- 33:40Speaker 14: he's getting basically, he's scrubbing past the surface with irritation.
- 33:44Speaker 14: And I think you can see the repetitive nature of
- 33:48Speaker 14: everything he does and he just can't get clean enough.
- 33:51Speaker 14: And his anxiety is probably playing into it too that
- 33:55Speaker 14: you know, his circumstances are less.
- 33:57Speaker 6: Than ideal for him and he just can't get.
- 34:00Speaker 13: Up control over it. And he seems to be like
- 34:03Speaker 13: a control obsessive control freak, if you will.
- 34:05Speaker 14: And that's really you know, the cycle that he's trying
- 34:09Speaker 14: to break, but he can't.
- 34:11Speaker 13: And I think it's using the same selp and scrubbing
- 34:14Speaker 13: nature that's really irritating things.
- 34:16Speaker 2: So, Karen Stark, how does the obsessive hand washing fit
- 34:20Speaker 2: in with the mommy complex?
- 34:22Speaker 6: Got He's got a lot of problems, Matthew. These are
- 34:25Speaker 6: all psychologtical issues. He's obsessive composent, that's anxiety. So he
- 34:31Speaker 6: spends his time not socially but washing his hands repeatedly
- 34:36Speaker 6: doing things like cleaning the shoes that we saw, and
- 34:41Speaker 6: his obsession with his mom. As you think about it,
- 34:45Speaker 6: it's very eerie because you do not find that when
- 34:49Speaker 6: someone is older. So he's not having any kind of
- 34:54Speaker 6: a social life. He's isolated, he wants to be isolated,
- 34:58Speaker 6: and it's all about his action to his parents. Actually,
- 35:02Speaker 6: I'm surprised that he went off to school because he
- 35:06Speaker 6: can't connect with other people.
- 35:07Speaker 12: Returning to his apartment after killing four people, Ryan Coberger
- 35:11Speaker 12: calls his mother. He then decides to return to the
- 35:14Speaker 12: scene of the crimes around nine am and has two
- 35:16Speaker 12: conversations with his mother around this time. Forensic analysis of
- 35:20Speaker 12: his phone reveals Coberger had no text with friends or
- 35:23Speaker 12: anyone outside his family other than a single group chat.
- 35:26Speaker 12: He's also extremely awkward and texting with his parents, calling
- 35:29Speaker 12: them mother and father. He likes communicating with his mother
- 35:32Speaker 12: more than his father, and even texted saying why did
- 35:36Speaker 12: mother not respond? Why is she not answering the phone?
- 35:39Speaker 1: Joining us an all star panel first too.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Josh Coles Rude, veteran trial lawyer, joining us out of Phoenix.
- 35:46Speaker 2: I find all of the evidence we're learning now to
- 35:50Speaker 2: be very probe to specifically as it relates to clearly
- 35:56Speaker 2: planning the four murders far in advance.
- 35:59Speaker 1: There's detail, planning, a forethought. That's true.
- 36:02Speaker 8: However, a prosecutor can lose a case in a variety
- 36:06Speaker 8: of ways that have nothing to do with a defendant's guilt.
- 36:11Speaker 8: So in this case, the FBI used a controversial technique
- 36:17Speaker 8: in order to identify who Brian Koberg is or was,
- 36:22Speaker 8: and that's the investigative genetic genealogy technique where they would
- 36:27Speaker 8: take his the DNA found on the Knight sheet and
- 36:32Speaker 8: they would create a fake profile on a genealogy website
- 36:37Speaker 8: that prohibits law enforcement from doing this kind of behavior,
- 36:41Speaker 8: and then they would plug it in and then ask
- 36:44Speaker 8: the genealogy website if there are any relatives that are
- 36:49Speaker 8: related to the fake profile that they created. And that's
- 36:54Speaker 8: what they did in this case. But that doesn't just
- 36:56Speaker 8: stop there. They gave the information to the local police,
- 36:59Speaker 8: and they told them not to tell everybody.
- 37:02Speaker 1: They told them.
- 37:03Speaker 8: To keep it a secret and to pretend like they
- 37:06Speaker 8: had discovered this information on their own.
- 37:08Speaker 2: To Heather Barnhart, Heather, what else, if anything, did you
- 37:12Speaker 2: find on Coburger's face?
- 37:13Speaker 13: Oh, my gosh, we found so much, from paranoia looking
- 37:18Speaker 13: for federal wire tapping to even a screenshot of you,
- 37:21Speaker 13: Nancy and Crime Stories from YouTube cash to his device.
- 37:25Speaker 13: I'm sorry, repeate, yes, you it seems as if you
- 37:27Speaker 13: would watch Crime Stories, your show on YouTube and it
- 37:32Speaker 13: was cast to his phone.
- 37:33Speaker 2: Okay, back to Karen Stark, Oh, what if anything does
- 37:37Speaker 2: that mean?
- 37:37Speaker 1: Karen?
- 37:38Speaker 6: If we look at what he's interested in, what he's
- 37:41Speaker 6: obsessed about, when he's Christmas Eve and he's looking at
- 37:46Speaker 6: his phone and he's looking at serial killers, then it
- 37:48Speaker 6: makes perfect sense that he would be watching you and
- 37:52Speaker 6: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace. What is a better place?
- 37:56Speaker 6: I can't think of any and to go and to
- 37:58Speaker 6: watch you look at things, look at people who are analyzing,
- 38:03Speaker 6: talk about killers. We talked about serial killers. So it
- 38:07Speaker 6: makes perfect sense to me that you would be primary
- 38:11Speaker 6: on his phone and he would be wanting to check
- 38:14Speaker 6: you out and actually admire you.
- 38:16Speaker 2: Heather Barnheart, what did you mean by the Was it
- 38:21Speaker 2: a photo or was it our program?
- 38:23Speaker 1: What did he have in the cash?
- 38:26Speaker 13: It was YouTube for Crime Story specifically, it would be
- 38:29Speaker 13: him watching YouTube and the phone is just smart enough
- 38:32Speaker 13: and it will take little snippets and snapshots as you're
- 38:36Speaker 13: watching something. So he was watching your show and the
- 38:39Speaker 13: picture of you and the title of Crime Stories was
- 38:42Speaker 13: saved on his device.
- 38:43Speaker 2: To Chris mcdonnald joining me, who has worked over three
- 38:46Speaker 2: hundred homicides twenty five years in Ellie Star of the
- 38:52Speaker 2: Interview Room on YouTube. Okay, it's typical to ISO isolate
- 39:01Speaker 2: onto say your prosecutor or a particular witness against you,
- 39:07Speaker 2: but that's really freaky.
