Latest / Beyond The Horizon / Mega Edition: What Did Bryan Kohberger Tell The Police After They Arrested Him? (10/17/26)
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program.
- 0:05Speaker 2: According to sources, Brian Koberger spoke about the murdered Idaho
- 0:10Speaker 2: students on his way to being extradited back to Idaho. Now,
- 0:15Speaker 2: he didn't say anything of consequence. He didn't say that
- 0:18Speaker 2: he was guilty or that he had anything to do
- 0:21Speaker 2: with it whatsoever. What he did say, however, was that
- 0:25Speaker 2: it was really sad what happened to them. And while
- 0:28Speaker 2: that comment seems innocent enough right now, I have a
- 0:32Speaker 2: feeling that later on, when all is said and done,
- 0:34Speaker 2: we're going to look back on that and it's going
- 0:36Speaker 2: to be one of those chilling comments made by someone
- 0:40Speaker 2: who ends up getting convicted for murdering people. How many
- 0:44Speaker 2: times have you heard these people, these murderers, act like
- 0:47Speaker 2: they weren't the one who did it? Oh, I feel
- 0:49Speaker 2: bad for the family. I'm sorry that this happened. Meanwhile,
- 0:54Speaker 2: you're the person who committed the murders. Now, obviously, we
- 0:58Speaker 2: haven't gotten to that point with Brian Koberger yet. He
- 1:01Speaker 2: hasn't had his trial, but it's not looking good for him.
- 1:05Speaker 2: There's no other suspects. There's nobody else that could be
- 1:08Speaker 2: responsible for this. No people of interest. Only Brian Koberger.
- 1:14Speaker 2: And when you start looking at everything that's been brought
- 1:16Speaker 2: before us already, it's very difficult for me to look
- 1:20Speaker 2: at this and say, oh, Brian Koberger is getting a
- 1:23Speaker 2: bad deal here. because it certainly seems to be the opposite.
- 1:28Speaker 2: With everything we know, all of the digital evidence, all
- 1:31Speaker 2: of the reports we have seen in the affidavit, and
- 1:35Speaker 2: the fact that Kohlberger had the white Elantra, his DNA
- 1:39Speaker 2: matched the knife sheaths, I don't know how anyone could
- 1:43Speaker 2: sit here and say, oh, well, you know, Kohlberger's getting
- 1:46Speaker 2: a bad shake here. He's not being treated fairly. Because
- 1:50Speaker 2: the evidence is certainly telling us something completely different. And
- 1:54Speaker 2: that evidence is telling us that Brian Koberger looks to
- 1:58Speaker 2: be the man responsible for these murders. Today's article is
- 2:03Speaker 2: from People. Headline, Idaho murder suspects spoke about slain students
- 2:08Speaker 2: during extradition. It's really sad what happened to them. This
- 2:13Speaker 2: article was authored by Steve Helling. Brian Koberger has largely
- 2:20Speaker 2: remained silent after he was charged with killing four University
- 2:24Speaker 2: of Idaho students, but he made small talk with officers
- 2:28Speaker 2: while he was being extradited from his home in Pennsylvania
- 2:31Speaker 2: and then booked into the Latah County Jail. Now, your
- 2:35Speaker 2: best idea if you're ever in trouble with the police,
- 2:38Speaker 2: no matter where you are, is to keep your mouth shut.
- 2:42Speaker 2: The last thing you want to do is talk to
- 2:45Speaker 2: the police without a lawyer present. And if I know that,
- 2:48Speaker 2: just some dumbass sitting here in his studio in Las Vegas,
- 2:52Speaker 2: you better believe that a criminology student would know that
- 2:55Speaker 2: or you would hope so anyway. But then I say
- 2:58Speaker 2: to myself, I look at all of his other behavior
- 3:02Speaker 2: and it doesn't jive with somebody who's hip to crimes
- 3:07Speaker 2: and how to get away with those crimes. So why
- 3:11Speaker 2: would I think that he's smart in other parts of
- 3:13Speaker 2: his life? Why would I think that he's going to
- 3:16Speaker 2: keep his mouth shut? Even though he knows he should,
- 3:19Speaker 2: maybe he can't help himself. Certainly seems like the type
- 3:23Speaker 2: to me, and if I was the jail officials, I'd
- 3:27Speaker 2: put a prison snitch in the cell with him and
- 3:29Speaker 2: see what comes of it. He seemed really nervous. A
- 3:32Speaker 2: police source who was involved in the process tells people
- 3:36Speaker 2: he was narrating to himself everything that was happening. At
- 3:40Speaker 2: one point, he was saying something to himself like, I'm fine,
- 3:44Speaker 2: this is okay. Like he was reassuring himself, That this
- 3:47Speaker 2: whole thing wasn't awful. Imagine sitting there. Being accused of
- 3:52Speaker 2: four homicides. And talking to yourself. And saying oh this
- 3:56Speaker 2: is going to be okay. Things are going to be fine.
- 4:00Speaker 2: I mean for real. Breaking news buddy. Things aren't going
- 4:03Speaker 2: to be fine. Your DNA was found on that knife sheath.
- 4:07Speaker 2: You need to explain that. And to tell you the truth,
- 4:10Speaker 2: I have no idea how they're going to do that.
- 4:13Speaker 2: How are you going to explain that this dude had
- 4:16Speaker 2: a knife sheath with his DNA on it and that
- 4:18Speaker 2: knife sheath was found next to two murdered girls? Good
- 4:22Speaker 2: luck explaining that to a jury and getting them to
- 4:25Speaker 2: believe you. Koberger was read his Miranda rights during his
- 4:31Speaker 2: arrest and cannot be questioned about the case without an
- 4:34Speaker 2: attorney present. He didn't speak directly to officers about the case.
- 4:38Speaker 2: But the police source says that he did make an
- 4:41Speaker 2: offhand comment about it. He did say it's really sad
- 4:44Speaker 2: what happened to them, but he didn't say anything more.
- 4:47Speaker 2: The source says he's smarter than that. I mean, you
- 4:50Speaker 2: would hope, right? If you're his defense attorney anyway, you
- 4:53Speaker 2: would hope that he's going to clam up, shut his
- 4:55Speaker 2: mouth and not say a word to anybody. But some
- 4:58Speaker 2: of these criminals can't help themselves and they have to
- 5:01Speaker 2: self snitch. Koberger, 28, was arrested on December 30th in
- 5:06Speaker 2: connection with the November murders of Ethan Chapin, Zanna Kernodle,
- 5:11Speaker 2: Madison Mogan, and Kaylee Gonsalves. All four victims had been
- 5:16Speaker 2: stabbed with a fixed blade knife. Koberger has been charged
- 5:21Speaker 2: with four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary.
- 5:26Speaker 2: It's unclear whether or how Koberger knew the victims. Well,
- 5:30Speaker 2: he knew them somehow. Maybe not personally, but at the
- 5:33Speaker 2: very least, he knew them in passing. How else would
- 5:36Speaker 2: he target them? How else would they end up on
- 5:39Speaker 2: his radar? Now the question becomes, where did he meet
- 5:42Speaker 2: them and how did he come across them in the
- 5:44Speaker 2: first place?
- 5:45Speaker 1: Was it social media? Was it the restaurant? Was it
- 5:48Speaker 1: a bar?
- 5:49Speaker 2: Were they up in Pullman at some point hanging out
- 5:51Speaker 2: with friends and he saw them there?
- 5:54Speaker 1: There's just a lot that we don't know yet.
- 5:56Speaker 2: And I don't know if we're going to find all
- 5:58Speaker 2: of this stuff out until trial, especially now with this
- 6:01Speaker 2: gag order. So whatever we do find out is going
- 6:05Speaker 2: to be pieced together from leaks and whatever sources that
- 6:08Speaker 2: these journalists can come up with. What I think is
- 6:12Speaker 2: going to be interesting is to get more background and
- 6:15Speaker 2: more context on how they might have met each other.
- 6:19Speaker 2: And obviously that's a million dollar question here, but it's
- 6:21Speaker 2: very important in my opinion to establish that not so
- 6:25Speaker 2: much for the conviction, because what really matters is that
- 6:28Speaker 2: the crime happened and that they can pin that crime
- 6:31Speaker 2: on Brian Koberger using all of the evidence that we
- 6:34Speaker 2: have discussed already. But what was the situation? How did
- 6:39Speaker 2: you meet them? How did you know them? How did
- 6:42Speaker 2: they become people who ended up on your radar? At
- 6:45Speaker 2: the time of the killings, he was a PhD student
- 6:48Speaker 2: at Washington State University in the Department of Criminal Justice
- 6:52Speaker 2: and Criminology. His apartment in Pullman, Washington, is just 10
- 6:56Speaker 2: miles away from the scene of the murders. Authorities have
- 6:59Speaker 2: not yet disclosed a motive. And it's crazy to me
- 7:03Speaker 2: every time we hear a story like this and one
- 7:05Speaker 2: of these murderers thinks they're going to get away with
- 7:07Speaker 2: these kinds of killings so.
- 7:09Speaker 1: Close to their home.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Have you never heard the saying, don't shit where you eat?
- 7:15Speaker 1: These guys are insane that do this. Eventually, you're going
- 7:18Speaker 1: to be tracked down.
- 7:19Speaker 2: Eventually, you're going to be tied to these murders if
- 7:22Speaker 2: the investigators are worth their weight in salt.
- 7:25Speaker 1: And in Moscow, they obviously were.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Brian Koberger thought that he was dealing with a rural
- 7:32Speaker 2: police department, thought that he was going to be able
- 7:34Speaker 2: to pull one over on these guys. But they weren't
- 7:38Speaker 2: fooled so quickly, were they? And they knew they were
- 7:41Speaker 2: overmatched right away. So they went out of the box.
- 7:44Speaker 2: They brought in other help, outside help, and that led
- 7:46Speaker 2: them directly to Brian Koberger. Now, he was under the impression,
- 7:51Speaker 2: my guess is, that the FBI wasn't going to get
- 7:53Speaker 2: involved here. Usually the FBI, they're not getting involved in
- 7:57Speaker 2: something like this. But when you start talking about crossing
- 8:00Speaker 2: state lines and you're talking about needing help with the
- 8:03Speaker 2: evidence collection, things get to snowballing. So Brian Koberger made
- 8:08Speaker 2: a very crucial mistake here as far as being a criminal.
- 8:12Speaker 2: And that is having such a high body count. Whenever
- 8:15Speaker 2: you kill this many people, you better believe people are
- 8:19Speaker 2: going to take notice. And the people who are going
- 8:21Speaker 2: to take notice are the kind of people that are
- 8:24Speaker 2: going to catch your ass. Koberger is now in the
- 8:28Speaker 2: Latah County Jail, which is adjacent to the courthouse. It's
- 8:32Speaker 2: less than two miles away from where the murders happened.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Although the jail can house up to 37 inmates, Koberger
- 8:39Speaker 2: is being kept away from everyone else for his own safety.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Probably a good idea.
- 8:45Speaker 2: For those of you who are not aware, the Bureau
- 8:47Speaker 2: of Prisons in general is an absolute dumpster fire that
- 8:51Speaker 2: needs to be reformed. And there's way too many instances
- 8:54Speaker 2: of inmates getting hurt either by their own hands or
- 8:58Speaker 2: by other inmates while they're locked up. And when you're
- 9:00Speaker 2: dealing with somebody like Brian Koberger, who is getting all
- 9:04Speaker 2: of this national and international attention. The other convicts, well,
- 9:08Speaker 2: they take notice of that, and they might be looking
- 9:11Speaker 2: to score some points by busting Koberger's ass.
- 9:16Speaker 1: He keeps to himself.
- 9:17Speaker 2: He's away from the other prisoners, says a source in
- 9:19Speaker 2: the jail, but he will make small talk with the
- 9:21Speaker 2: guards and seems to be getting used to that place.
- 9:25Speaker 2: Koberger will return to court for a pretrial hearing on
- 9:28Speaker 2: January 12th, where he will plea to the charges against him.
- 9:34Speaker 2: And Brian Koberger is expected to plead not guilty to
- 9:37Speaker 2: these four homicides. So he plans to fight this. He
- 9:41Speaker 2: plans to go to trial. And like he told his lawyer,
- 9:43Speaker 2: he plans to be exonerated. So the question is, will
- 9:48Speaker 2: the jury buy into whatever his defense is? Now, I
- 9:52Speaker 2: will say we have not seen what that strategy is
- 9:55Speaker 2: going to be. So all we're going on here is
- 9:57Speaker 2: what we have seen from the prosecution. And if we're
- 10:01Speaker 2: being honest, we have to say that we have to
- 10:03Speaker 2: wait and see what Koberger brings up as a defense.
- 10:07Speaker 2: But as of now, what they have presented, if what
- 10:10Speaker 2: the prosecution is saying is true, then Brian Koberger is done.
- 10:16Speaker 2: There's no way he's going to be able to defend
- 10:18Speaker 2: these charges. There's no way he's going to be able
- 10:21Speaker 2: to convince a jury that he didn't do this or
- 10:24Speaker 2: that there's even reasonable doubt that he didn't do this.
- 10:28Speaker 2: So unless they have some kind of evidence that is
- 10:31Speaker 2: going to shock the world, my guess is Brian Koberger
- 10:35Speaker 2: is going to either a be spending the rest of
- 10:38Speaker 2: his life in prison or B he's going to be
- 10:42Speaker 2: sentenced to death.
- 10:44Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.

- 11:10Speaker 2: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. It
- 11:15Speaker 2: should come as no surprise to anybody out there paying
- 11:17Speaker 2: attention that this sick degenerate, BTK, would share sympathy for
- 11:22Speaker 2: Brian Kohlberger and the situation that Kohlberger finds himself in.
- 11:27Speaker 1: What do they say? Birds of a feather and all?
- 11:29Speaker 1: Fellow travelers?
- 11:31Speaker 2: BTK obviously sees a little bit of himself in Brian Kohlberger,
- 11:36Speaker 2: so he has reached out and shared his sympathies about
- 11:39Speaker 2: the situation that Kohlberger finds himself in. And today we
- 11:43Speaker 2: have an article from The Independent discussing this. So let's
- 11:47Speaker 2: just dive right in and let's see what Andrea Blanco
- 11:51Speaker 2: and Bevan Hurley have come up with. BTK killer Dennis
- 11:55Speaker 2: Rader shares sympathy for Idaho murder suspect Brian Koberger. What's next,
- 12:01Speaker 2: a nod of support from Gary Ridgway? Serial killer Dennis
- 12:06Speaker 2: Rader has expressed sympathy for Brian Koberger as he awaits
- 12:10Speaker 2: his trial in the Idaho murders. Rader, who gave himself
- 12:14Speaker 2: the title of the BTK killer because he bound and
- 12:17Speaker 2: tortured his victims before killing them, is serving 10 consecutive
- 12:21Speaker 2: life sentences in a maximum security prison in Kansas after
- 12:25Speaker 2: he confessed in 2005 to killing 10 people over a
- 12:29Speaker 2: span of three decades. And the first murders that he committed,
- 12:33Speaker 2: known murders anyway, was the Otero family. And there certainly
- 12:37Speaker 2: were some similarities between Brian Koberger, allegedly killing the four
- 12:42Speaker 2: college students in their home and Dennis Rader's first trip
- 12:46Speaker 2: around the sun, killing the Otero family. Four people home
- 12:50Speaker 2: at the time, a male home at the time, a
- 12:53Speaker 2: dog there. So there were a lot of similarities. Now,
- 12:56Speaker 2: do I think that they're related in any way?
- 12:59Speaker 1: I do not.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Like, I don't think that Koberger was ever in contact
- 13:03Speaker 2: with BTK. I don't think he was talking to him
- 13:06Speaker 2: before the murders. I don't think he was talking to
- 13:08Speaker 2: him after the murders. But I do know that he
- 13:11Speaker 2: is keenly aware of who BTK is and what BTK
- 13:15Speaker 2: was up to. Not only was Brian Kohlberger studying to
- 13:18Speaker 2: get his criminology degree, the guy was an avid fan
- 13:22Speaker 2: of true crime. And you can't be an avid fan
- 13:25Speaker 2: of true crime and this sort of true crime anyway
- 13:28Speaker 2: without knowing who the BTK is. So he certainly knew
- 13:32Speaker 2: who BTK was. And then you add to all of
- 13:35Speaker 2: that the fact he studied under Catherine Ramsland, the same
- 13:39Speaker 2: lady that wrote a book with BTK. So there's no
- 13:42Speaker 2: doubt in my mind that Koberger had a very good
- 13:46Speaker 2: grasp on all of BTK's murders and the way he
- 13:50Speaker 2: went about it. In an interview with Fox News Digital
- 13:54Speaker 2: on Wednesday, Rader said he understands how Mr. Koberger must
- 13:57Speaker 2: feel while in solitary confinement at Latah County Jail ahead
- 14:02Speaker 2: of his preliminary hearing on June 26th. Since I spent
- 14:06Speaker 2: from February 2005 to April 2005 in a cell by myself,
- 14:11Speaker 2: I know how he feels. Very lonely, Rader told the outlet,
- 14:15Speaker 2: adding that his situation improved when he was allowed to
- 14:18Speaker 2: receive mail. Well, if you're lonely, maybe we could put
- 14:21Speaker 2: one of the family members of the people you killed
- 14:24Speaker 2: in that cell with you for a good 25 or
- 14:26Speaker 2: 30 minutes and see how lonely you are then. I
- 14:30Speaker 2: got your lonely right here, you stoonod. And soon, letters
- 14:34Speaker 2: started to come in. I read a lot of Bible
- 14:37Speaker 2: and wrote poetry. You know, all these guys, the same thing. Oh,
- 14:40Speaker 2: I found God. Oh, I found God. Oh, well, I
- 14:43Speaker 2: repented and I found God. That's all great, but that's
- 14:47Speaker 2: not going to bring back the people that you violently murdered.
- 14:50Speaker 2: That's not going to give their families any comfort or
- 14:53Speaker 2: any closure. So the whole I found God thing always
- 14:56Speaker 2: makes me laugh. Rader's name was first linked to the
- 15:00Speaker 2: Idaho case last month after it emerged that Mr. Koberger
- 15:04Speaker 2: had been a student in a criminology class taught by Dr.
- 15:07Speaker 2: Catherine Ramsland, the leading academic authority on the BTK killings.
- 15:13Speaker 2: And she wrote that book with BTK. We did that
- 15:15Speaker 2: whole article on BTK and his work with Dr. Catherine Ramsland.
- 15:21Speaker 2: And it's quite the coincidence, no? that she is such
- 15:24Speaker 2: a authority on BTK, and then she has a student
- 15:28Speaker 2: like Brian Koberger?
- 15:30Speaker 1: Quite the coincidence.
- 15:34Speaker 2: Mr. Koberger had just finished his first semester as a
- 15:36Speaker 2: criminology Ph.D. student at Washington State University when he was
- 15:41Speaker 2: charged with the stabbings of Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Zanna Kernodle,
- 15:46Speaker 2: and Ethan Chapin on November 13th. Last month, Raider's Daughter,
- 15:51Speaker 2: Carrie Rawson, told The Independent that she had sensed her
- 15:55Speaker 2: father in the Idaho murders. Look, there is no doubt
- 15:59Speaker 2: about that. When you look at what happened, it had
- 16:01Speaker 2: all the hallmarks of a BTK kind of murder. Maybe
- 16:05Speaker 2: not the bind, torture, and kill part, but the fact
- 16:08Speaker 2: that it was so brazen. Four people being murdered like this?
- 16:11Speaker 1: With a knife? Very rare do you see that as
- 16:15Speaker 1: the M.O. for somebody.
- 16:16Speaker 2: And obviously, as we've learned more, it certainly seems like
- 16:20Speaker 2: All four weren't the target. Seems like Kaylee and Madison
- 16:24Speaker 2: or one or the other were the target. And then
- 16:27Speaker 2: he stumbled upon Zanna, who just unfortunately happened to be
- 16:30Speaker 2: awake at the time. If she wasn't awake and he
- 16:34Speaker 2: didn't stumble into her, my guess is he would have
- 16:36Speaker 2: just kept going, meaning he would have killed Kaylee and
- 16:39Speaker 2: Madison and then got out of Dodge. Now, obviously, that's
- 16:42Speaker 2: just my opinion and the way I'm breaking it all
- 16:45Speaker 2: down from the facts that we have available to us.
- 16:48Speaker 2: But the more I look at it and the more
- 16:50Speaker 2: information we get, the more it seems like Ethan and
- 16:55Speaker 2: Zanna were both collateral damage. She later learned that Mr.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Kohlberger had gained a master's degree in criminology in 2022
- 17:04Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania's DeSalas University, where he was taught by Dr.
- 17:08Speaker 1: Ramsland. Dr.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Ramsland, a world-renowned expert on serial and mass killers, wrote
- 17:14Speaker 2: the 2016 book Confession of a Serial Killer. the untold
- 17:18Speaker 2: story of Dennis Rader, the BTK killer, in 2016, drawing
- 17:23Speaker 2: on hundreds of hours of interviews and phone conversations with
- 17:26Speaker 2: the serial killer to delve deep into his psyche. Ms.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Rawson said she refused to participate in the book, which
- 17:34Speaker 2: documented in explicit detail Rader's 10 murders in Wichita and
- 17:39Speaker 2: Park City, Kansas, between 1974 and 1991, through crime scene reports,
- 17:45Speaker 2: jailhouse visits, telephone calls, And written correspondence. I don't know
- 17:50Speaker 2: how you could sit in a room with this guy.
- 17:51Speaker 2: Just looking at Dennis Rader. And his dumb ass face.
- 17:54Speaker 2: And knowing what he did to all of those people.
- 17:57Speaker 2: I don't know if I'd be able to control myself.
- 17:59Speaker 2: From engaging in the power slap competition. Because if anyone's
- 18:04Speaker 2: ever needed their face slapped.
- 18:06Speaker 1: It's BTK.
- 18:08Speaker 2: I ended up actually back in trauma therapy while reading
- 18:11Speaker 2: that book. I was still mad at my father. I
- 18:14Speaker 2: threw the thing across the room. Miss Rawson, who wasn't
- 18:18Speaker 2: even alive when her father committed his first seven murders
- 18:21Speaker 2: between 1974 and 1977, told The Independent in January. Imagine
- 18:27Speaker 2: if your father was a serial killer. You have this
- 18:30Speaker 2: image of your dad being, you know, your dad, a hero,
- 18:33Speaker 2: an untoppable hero. Then, to get the news that that
- 18:38Speaker 2: man that you put on a pedestal above everybody else
- 18:41Speaker 2: is actually a serial killer? Yeah, I'm guessing a bit
- 18:44Speaker 2: of therapy is going to be needed for a situation
- 18:47Speaker 2: like that. Rader had been a respected president of his
- 18:52Speaker 2: local church and a Cub Scout leader who secretly carried
- 18:55Speaker 2: out a series of sadistic murders while bragging about his
- 18:58Speaker 2: crimes to the media. He came up with the Bind
- 19:01Speaker 2: Torture Kill moniker in letters to Kansan Media. You can't
- 19:06Speaker 2: name yourself, bro. There's rules against that. That's like wearing
- 19:10Speaker 2: the band t-shirt of the band you're going to see
- 19:12Speaker 2: to the show. There are certain rules that have to
- 19:15Speaker 2: be followed. You can't make up your own nickname. Ms.
- 19:21Speaker 2: Rawson said her father earned a degree in criminal justice
- 19:24Speaker 2: at the same time he was committing murders in the 1970s.
- 19:28Speaker 2: According to the Wichita Eagle, he has also a peace
- 19:31Speaker 2: and compliance supervisor in Park City, so BTK was hiding
- 19:35Speaker 2: in plain sight. He was your average neighbor, guy working
- 19:38Speaker 2: for the Cub Scouts, working for his criminology degree. You know,
- 19:42Speaker 2: the kind of guy you wake up, see him out
- 19:44Speaker 2: in the front yard, you wave to him on your
- 19:46Speaker 2: way to work. Meanwhile, this dude's dressing up in women's clothing.
- 19:50Speaker 2: making pretend he's the victims that he's already killed, putting
- 19:53Speaker 2: out their IDs and having a whole recreation of his murder.
- 19:59Speaker 2: And this is the guy that you're living next door to.
- 20:04Speaker 2: Rader did not have a trial, instead confessing to his
- 20:07Speaker 2: crimes after his arrest. Mr. Kohlberger, on the other hand,
- 20:10Speaker 2: has said through his former public defendant that he is
- 20:13Speaker 2: eager to be exonerated. The affidavit for his arrest gave
- 20:17Speaker 2: new details about what led investigators to the suspect, but
- 20:21Speaker 2: still offered no connection between the victims and Mr.
- 20:24Speaker 1: Kohlberger.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Well, we know that those connections are being made as
- 20:28Speaker 2: we speak. And all of the digital connections that they
- 20:32Speaker 2: had in this day and age, those are connections. When
- 20:36Speaker 2: you're looking at somebody's social media the way that you
- 20:39Speaker 2: can monitor somebody these days, you might as well be
- 20:42Speaker 2: looking in the window of their bedroom. The documents did
- 20:46Speaker 2: reveal that investigators believe that Mr. Koberger may have stalked
- 20:50Speaker 2: the student home in the run-up to the mass murder,
- 20:52Speaker 2: with cell phone data placing him around the property 12
- 20:55Speaker 2: times before the 13th of November. Police said that his
- 21:00Speaker 2: DNA was found on a knife sheath left behind at
- 21:02Speaker 2: the scene by the killer and his white Hyundai Elantra
- 21:05Speaker 2: was caught on surveillance footage at the crime scene at
- 21:08Speaker 2: the time of the murders, the affidavit reveals. Police in
- 21:12Speaker 2: Washington also unsealed search warrants for Mr. Kohlberger's apartment in
- 21:17Speaker 2: Pullman and his office at Washington State University. The searches
- 21:21Speaker 2: were carried out on the same day that he was
- 21:23Speaker 2: taken into police custody in Pennsylvania. The unsealed documents reveal
- 21:28Speaker 2: that investigators seized a string of items from his home,
- 21:32Speaker 2: including possible human and animal strands, a disposable glove, items
- 21:37Speaker 2: with red and brown stains, and a computer. No items
- 21:40Speaker 2: were seized from his office, which he shared with other Ph.D.
- 21:44Speaker 1: Students.
- 21:45Speaker 2: He faces life in prison or the death penalty for
- 21:48Speaker 2: the murders that have rocked the small college town of
- 21:51Speaker 2: Moscow and hit headlines around the globe. All right, folks,
- 21:55Speaker 2: that's going to do it for this one. All of
- 21:59Speaker 2: the information that goes along with this episode can be
- 22:02Speaker 2: found in the description box. Everyone and welcome back to
- 22:06Speaker 2: the program. There are some out there suggesting that Brian
- 22:11Speaker 2: Koberger might have been behind the noise complaints that were
- 22:16Speaker 2: called in on the Moscow house previously. And when I
- 22:20Speaker 2: heard that earlier, I didn't put any stock in it.
- 22:23Speaker 2: I figured it was a bunch of BS. And now
- 22:26Speaker 2: Fox News is confirming that it is, well, in fact,
- 22:29Speaker 2: a bunch of BS. So I figured we'd get ahead
- 22:33Speaker 2: of this one before I started getting emails about Brian
- 22:36Speaker 2: Koberger being the man that called in this noise complaint.
- 22:40Speaker 2: This article is from Fox News. Headline, Brian Koberger case.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Theory Idaho suspect was behind party house noise complaints debunked.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Idaho murder suspect Brian Koberger allegedly stalked the King Road
- 22:56Speaker 2: home for weeks before the stabbings. This article was authored
- 23:00Speaker 2: by Michael Ruiz. Police responded to noise complaints three times
- 23:08Speaker 2: at the home where four University of Idaho students were
- 23:12Speaker 2: later killed. But incident reports contain no evidence the prime
- 23:16Speaker 2: suspect placed the calls as web sleuths have suggested. And
- 23:21Speaker 2: it's crazy how many people are trying to make up
- 23:24Speaker 2: their own story about what happened here. Sometimes the story
- 23:28Speaker 2: is what it is. And running off in all those
- 23:31Speaker 2: directions and jumping down every single rabbit hole is just counterproductive.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Especially some of the more ludicrous stuff. I mean, really?
- 23:41Speaker 2: We're going to think that Brian Koberger is over here
- 23:44Speaker 2: calling in noise complaints. I mean, we've heard from neighbors
- 23:47Speaker 2: on the record about how noisy the house was and
- 23:51Speaker 2: neighbors talking publicly how they were the ones who called
- 23:54Speaker 2: in the noise complaints. So where the hell did people
- 23:57Speaker 2: come up with this one? Brian Koberger, a 28-year-old criminology
- 24:02Speaker 2: PhD student at nearby Washington State University, had also applied
- 24:06Speaker 2: for an internship with local police. He had allegedly been
- 24:10Speaker 2: stalking the King Road home where three of the four
- 24:13Speaker 2: victims lived for weeks, according to a probable cause affidavit.
- 24:18Speaker 2: Koberger's cell phone pinged near the house at least a
- 24:21Speaker 2: dozen times before the quadruple homicide and once the morning after,
- 24:26Speaker 2: according to investigators. And Moscow police pulled him over for
- 24:30Speaker 2: a traffic stop near the victim's home less than a
- 24:33Speaker 2: week after the first noise complaint in August. So because
- 24:37Speaker 2: he got pulled over by the house, he was the
- 24:39Speaker 2: one who called in the noise complaint. I don't even
- 24:42Speaker 2: understand what the foundation of believing this nonsense would be.
- 24:47Speaker 2: Like some of this stuff, you know, you hear it
- 24:49Speaker 2: and you're like, all right, well, I guess that seems
- 24:51Speaker 2: at least possible. But this kind of nonsense, why would
- 24:54Speaker 2: he call in the noise complaint? What would that serve?
- 24:57Speaker 2: What would that do for him? Except put them on
- 25:00Speaker 2: the radar. Now, we all know he's not a genius, obviously,
- 25:04Speaker 2: but calling in a noise complaint. Nah, I'm not buying it.
- 25:08Speaker 2: While the school had a database of police body cam
- 25:11Speaker 2: footage from several departments and surveillance video around Pullman, Washington,
- 25:17Speaker 2: university officials say Koberger was never granted access to those resources.
- 25:23Speaker 2: And Moscow police were not among the agencies sharing video.
- 25:27Speaker 2: So even if he was granted access to those resources,
- 25:30Speaker 2: he wouldn't have access to what's going on in Moscow.
- 25:33Speaker 2: because they weren't part of the sharing program that's going
- 25:37Speaker 2: on in Pullman. So they have that forensics school there.
- 25:41Speaker 2: So they have this program where they share some information
- 25:45Speaker 2: and they have access to police surveillance. They have access
- 25:49Speaker 2: to body camera footage and other things that normal people
- 25:53Speaker 2: wouldn't have access to. And all of that is to
- 25:56Speaker 2: prepare these kids or these adults, I should say, at
- 25:59Speaker 2: that point, to become criminologists, and to work to try
- 26:03Speaker 2: and catch people who commit crimes like the one Brian.
- 26:06Speaker 1: Koberger is accused of.
- 26:09Speaker 2: But the evidence of alleged stalking and his criminal justice
- 26:12Speaker 2: background triggered speculation that Koberger may have been involved in
- 26:16Speaker 2: reporting the noise complaints or sought out the body camera video.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Police documents obtained by Fox News Digital do not support
- 26:25Speaker 2: either possibility.
- 26:26Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't have access to any of that stuff.
- 26:29Speaker 2: So there's no way that he was trolling through there
- 26:32Speaker 2: and looking at different body cam footage or what was
- 26:35Speaker 2: going on with police officers in Moscow or at surveillance cameras.
- 26:40Speaker 2: It's just not possible. A, Brian Koberger didn't have access
- 26:44Speaker 2: to it. And B, Moscow is not part of that
- 26:47Speaker 2: sharing program. So if they're not part of the program,
- 26:50Speaker 2: there's no way that Brian Koberger was accessing those files.
- 26:56Speaker 2: Two of the three complaints on the evening of September
- 26:59Speaker 2: 1st and the early morning of September 2nd are identified
- 27:02Speaker 2: in police reports as neighbors of the King Road home
- 27:05Speaker 2: in Moscow. Both calls came from houses on Walenta Drive,
- 27:10Speaker 2: the street behind the six bedroom off campus rental house. Now,
- 27:14Speaker 2: we've heard from these neighbors specifically who have went on
- 27:17Speaker 2: the record before talking about how loud it was over
- 27:20Speaker 2: there and one of them talking about how they had
- 27:23Speaker 2: to call the cops.
- 27:25Speaker 1: So I don't even.
- 27:25Speaker 2: Understand where the whole entire nonsensical theory can pop up
- 27:30Speaker 2: that it was all Kohlberger over here dropping a dime
- 27:33Speaker 2: because the kids were pounding white claws and listening to
- 27:37Speaker 2: some country music. An earlier incident report from August 16th
- 27:42Speaker 2: does not include a complaint's name. However, the responding officer
- 27:46Speaker 2: on body cam video reportedly mentions that the loud music
- 27:50Speaker 2: is disturbing neighbors. So I guess there's a little room
- 27:54Speaker 2: there if you want to really jump down that rabbit
- 27:57Speaker 2: hole and go to cuckoo land. I guess you can
- 27:59Speaker 2: do that. But chances are, when you look at the
- 28:02Speaker 2: fact that the neighbors were the ones who were always
- 28:05Speaker 2: calling in these noise complaints, and we see it's been
- 28:08Speaker 2: multiple noise complaints.
- 28:10Speaker 1: It wasn't one time. It wasn't a one-off. They were there.
- 28:13Speaker 2: They were partying, hanging out, having drinks, pre-gaming. I know
- 28:17Speaker 2: those of you who went to college know exactly how
- 28:20Speaker 2: that all goes.
- 28:22Speaker 1: How many of you had a.
- 28:23Speaker 2: Specific place that you would pick out that you would
- 28:26Speaker 2: pregame before you guys would go to a party? You
- 28:29Speaker 2: had a friend who had a house or an apartment
- 28:32Speaker 2: and everybody would meet up there, get a little pregame
- 28:36Speaker 2: celebration going on, tie on a nice little buzz real
- 28:39Speaker 2: quick and get prepared for the night's festivities. I know
- 28:42Speaker 2: that was my life literally five nights a week while
- 28:45Speaker 2: I was in college. I was going out just about
- 28:48Speaker 2: every night. Get up, miserable, head to work. But you
- 28:53Speaker 2: know how it goes. People are partying, it's loud, and
- 28:56Speaker 2: people are getting drunk and having a good time. That's
- 28:58Speaker 2: the whole point of leaving to go to college out
- 29:01Speaker 2: of state or at the very least away.
- 29:03Speaker 1: From your parents.
- 29:05Speaker 2: You want to have a good time. And that's exactly
- 29:07Speaker 2: what these kids were doing. And obviously a few of
- 29:10Speaker 2: the neighbors weren't too happy about it. Additionally, the incident
- 29:16Speaker 2: reports include the name of members of the public who
- 29:19Speaker 2: requested the reports and And the dates when those requests
- 29:22Speaker 2: were filed. Kohlberger's name does not appear on the list.
- 29:26Speaker 2: So I think that's pretty conclusive, right? Even if you
- 29:30Speaker 2: think this guy is Hannibal Lecter level of criminal, there's
- 29:35Speaker 2: no way he's out here forging this sort of information.
- 29:39Speaker 1: So.
- 29:40Speaker 2: I don't see how he could be the one who
- 29:42Speaker 2: called in these complaints. And for those of you who
- 29:45Speaker 2: have listened to the podcast for a while, you know
- 29:47Speaker 2: how the Washington Post gives out the five Pinocchios. Well,
- 29:50Speaker 2: I give out five chicken parms here. And if I
- 29:53Speaker 2: think it's a bunch of bullshit, it gets more chicken parms.
- 29:56Speaker 2: This one is a five chicken parm bunch of nonsense.
- 30:01Speaker 2: Kohlberger faces four counts of first-degree murder and a felony
- 30:05Speaker 2: burglary charge after he allegedly entered a home on King
- 30:08Speaker 2: Road in Moscow and ambushed Zanna Kernodle and her boyfriend
- 30:12Speaker 2: Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogan and Kaylee Gonsalves. The attacks
- 30:17Speaker 2: happened around 4 a.m. on November 13th, according to authorities,
- 30:22Speaker 2: and Latah County Coroner Kathy Maybutt previously said all four were.
- 30:26Speaker 1: Stabbed to death.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Steve Gonsalves, Kaylee Gonsalves' father, told Fox News Digital in
- 30:32Speaker 2: December that Mabit described the injuries to him as big
- 30:36Speaker 2: open gouges. And that definitely tracks, considering what we know
- 30:41Speaker 2: about what went down here and how.
- 30:43Speaker 1: Brutal the crime scene was.
- 30:44Speaker 2: Just listening to what the investigators said before there was
- 30:48Speaker 2: a gag order, you know this crime scene was absolutely brutal.
- 30:51Speaker 2: When you have blood trickling down the way we saw
- 30:54Speaker 2: it and running out the side of the house like that, yeah.
- 30:58Speaker 2: pretty brutal crime scene. So, gouges and open wounds and
- 31:03Speaker 2: I can't even imagine what else was going on. Two
- 31:07Speaker 2: other housemates were unharmed, including one who police say witnessed
- 31:11Speaker 2: a masked man with bushy eyebrows flee after the killings.
- 31:15Speaker 2: Gonsalves' dog also survived the attack and police said they
- 31:19Speaker 2: found possible animal hair while serving a search warrant at
- 31:23Speaker 2: Koberger's apartment in Pullman, less than 10 miles away from
- 31:26Speaker 2: the crime scene. It always baffles me when these alleged criminals,
- 31:31Speaker 2: these alleged killers, commit these crimes so close to home.
- 31:34Speaker 1: I get it.
- 31:35Speaker 2: You want to know the surrounding area so that you
- 31:37Speaker 2: have an idea of, you know, how to get away
- 31:39Speaker 2: and whatnot. But really, haven't you ever heard the saying,
- 31:43Speaker 2: don't shit where you eat? Don't you think you'd be
- 31:46Speaker 2: more successful as a serial killer, you know, murdering people
- 31:49Speaker 2: that aren't living near you? Probably a good idea. Koberger
- 31:55Speaker 2: is due back in court at the end of June
- 31:57Speaker 2: for a preliminary hearing where his defense is expected to
- 32:00Speaker 2: challenge the evidence laid out against him.
- 32:03Speaker 1: He is being held without bond.
- 32:05Speaker 2: If convicted of any of the four murder charges, he
- 32:08Speaker 2: could face the death penalty. The court has issued a
- 32:11Speaker 2: gag order barring attorneys and investigators from commenting on the case.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So I just wanted to get this one added to
- 32:19Speaker 2: the catalog and get out ahead of it, like I said,
- 32:22Speaker 2: before I got emails on it. Because, you know, there's
- 32:25Speaker 2: people out there who are going to say, hey, is
- 32:27Speaker 2: this true? Did this happen? And obviously they have the
- 32:30Speaker 2: documentation here. Pretty obvious that it did not happen, that
- 32:34Speaker 2: it wasn't Brian Koberger who made these complaints.
- 32:38Speaker 1: And in fact, it was just a bunch of pissed
- 32:41Speaker 1: off neighbors.
- 32:42Speaker 2: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
- 32:45Speaker 2: All of the information that goes along with this episode
- 32:48Speaker 2: can be found in the description box. What's up everyone
- 32:53Speaker 2: and welcome back to the program. I feel like we've
- 32:57Speaker 2: talked about this already before, but I've seen several headlines
- 33:01Speaker 2: in the last couple of days discussing it again, so
- 33:04Speaker 2: I figured we'd jump back in and add another episode
- 33:08Speaker 2: to the catalog dealing with Brian Koberger and the fact
- 33:12Speaker 2: that he might be responsible for other crimes elsewhere. Now,
- 33:17Speaker 2: there is no concrete evidence one way or the other
- 33:20Speaker 2: to support that. And as of now, he's just being
- 33:23Speaker 2: investigated for potentially being involved. Previously, we've talked about this
- 33:29Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania, so I was a little confused when I
- 33:32Speaker 2: saw the headlines, but here we are. So, since it's
- 33:35Speaker 2: the headline making its way through the news cycle, we'll
- 33:38Speaker 2: pick right back up where we left off, I guess,
- 33:40Speaker 2: and talk a little bit more about Brian Koberger and
- 33:43Speaker 2: the fact that he might be responsible for some other murders.
- 33:48Speaker 2: Today's article is from Newsweek, headline, Brian Koberger Investigated Over
- 33:53Speaker 2: Other Homicides. This article was authored by by James Bickerton.
- 33:59Speaker 2: And it was back in February when we were first
- 34:03Speaker 2: talking about the information that came to light about prosecutors
- 34:08Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania who were investigating cold cases in possible relation
- 34:12Speaker 2: to Brian Koberger. And back then, we heard those prosecutors
- 34:17Speaker 2: tell us that as of that time, they had made
- 34:19Speaker 2: no connections. So let's see if anything has changed. Police
- 34:24Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania are investigating Brian Koberger over potential involvement in
- 34:29Speaker 2: other outstanding homicides, according to a News Nation report. Koberger
- 34:34Speaker 2: has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder along
- 34:37Speaker 2: with one felony burglary after four University of Idaho students
- 34:41Speaker 2: were stabbed to death by an intruder in the college
- 34:44Speaker 2: town of Moscow. Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonsalves, Zanna Kernodel, and
- 34:49Speaker 2: Ethan Chapin were killed with a knife in a shared
- 34:52Speaker 2: student house in the early hours of November 13th. Two
- 34:57Speaker 2: other female students, who were also in the house when
- 34:59Speaker 2: it was attacked, were not harmed. Mogan, Gonsalves, and Kernodle
- 35:04Speaker 2: all lived in the property, while Chapin was staying with Kernodle,
- 35:08Speaker 2: his girlfriend, when the attack occurred. Well, that's not completely true.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Kaylee had moved out already, remember, and she was just
- 35:15Speaker 2: there for the weekend to show her best friend Maddie
- 35:18Speaker 2: her new car. While Kohlberger has yet to enter a plea,
- 35:22Speaker 2: in January, shortly after his arrest, his Pennsylvania public defender
- 35:27Speaker 2: said he was eager to be exonerated. If confirmed that
- 35:31Speaker 2: authorities are investigating Kohlberger over other unsolved murders, the case
- 35:36Speaker 2: against him could expand significantly, though this has not been
- 35:40Speaker 2: officially announced. And here's where I'm having some confusion with
- 35:45Speaker 2: the next paragraph. The news that police were investigating Koberger's
- 35:49Speaker 2: possible role in other murders was broken by NewsNation on
- 35:53Speaker 2: Wednesday with presenter Chris Cuomo saying, Tonight I can report
- 35:58Speaker 2: to you exclusively that authorities in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested,
- 36:03Speaker 2: are investigating potential involvement in other outstanding homicides. The only
- 36:09Speaker 2: problem with that is this isn't breaking news. We've already
- 36:12Speaker 2: talked about this previously, so I was wondering if anything
- 36:16Speaker 2: new was here, and it doesn't look like anything new
- 36:19Speaker 2: has popped up. So I don't know where they're getting
- 36:21Speaker 2: the idea that Chris Cuomo is breaking this, but I'm
- 36:25Speaker 2: looking at an article from February 8th of this year
- 36:30Speaker 2: talking about this same thing, that Pennsylvania police are sifting
- 36:33Speaker 2: through cold cases for possible links to Brian Kohlberger. We
- 36:37Speaker 2: heard from the Northampton County District and the Lehigh County
- 36:40Speaker 2: District a prosecutor who told us there were no connections.
- 36:44Speaker 2: But I guess that's what passes for breaking news over
- 36:48Speaker 2: on the Chris Cuomo show. The news was confirmed by
- 36:51Speaker 2: Mark Garagos, a trial attorney who told Cuomo, yes, I
- 36:54Speaker 2: have heard similar and not just in this case, but
- 36:57Speaker 2: virtually every high profile case that is a circumstantial evidence
- 37:02Speaker 2: murder case, you almost inevitably hear of other unsolved murders,
- 37:07Speaker 2: and law enforcement looks to see if they can link
- 37:09Speaker 2: whoever the suspect is. So, no breaking news here, folks.
- 37:13Speaker 2: Just the same stuff we've talked about, oh, I don't know,
- 37:15Speaker 2: two months ago. Asked why this would be, Garagos replied, well,
- 37:20Speaker 2: for one thing, I suppose it fills a vacuum. Why
- 37:23Speaker 2: did somebody do this when you don't have a motive?
- 37:26Speaker 2: That is the most obvious explanation, and also the cynic
- 37:30Speaker 2: in me, the defense lawyer in me, suspects it's a
- 37:33Speaker 2: way to dirty somebody up. Cuomo replied that authorities don't
- 37:38Speaker 2: need to smear Kohlberger before asking retired FBI agent Jennifer
- 37:43Speaker 2: Koffendaffer what sort of things the police would be looking for. Yeah,
- 37:47Speaker 2: I doubt they're looking to smear Brian Kohlberger at this point.
- 37:51Speaker 2: I mean, we've heard some pretty gruesome stuff about the dude.
- 37:55Speaker 2: And I think the circumstantial evidence and the evidence that's
- 37:58Speaker 2: been piled on since then speaks for itself. Nobody needs
- 38:02Speaker 2: to go out and wage a campaign against Brian Koberger.
- 38:06Speaker 2: His actions have done that for him. She said, well, specifically,
- 38:12Speaker 2: if they have a case which fits the modus operandi
- 38:14Speaker 2: that matches what happened in Idaho, for instance, is the
- 38:18Speaker 2: target a young, beautiful co-ed? Was the weapon of choice
- 38:21Speaker 2: a knife? Was the arrival and departure of the individual
- 38:25Speaker 2: in a vehicle as opposed to being dropped off or
- 38:28Speaker 2: by foot? Was the time chosen at this 3 o'clock
- 38:32Speaker 2: to 4 o'clock time frame? All of that fits for
- 38:34Speaker 2: what happened up in Oregon with the Judens, but remember,
- 38:37Speaker 2: they've ruled that out. So why is it that they're
- 38:40Speaker 2: looking at cold cases in Pennsylvania, but not up in Oregon?
- 38:44Speaker 2: I just can't shake the feeling that Koberger has something
- 38:47Speaker 2: to do with that. Now, do I have any evidence
- 38:49Speaker 2: to offer you to back that up?
- 38:51Speaker 1: I do not.
- 38:52Speaker 2: That's just a gut feeling of mine, but the MO
- 38:54Speaker 2: matches up almost perfectly. The probable cause affidavit used to
- 38:59Speaker 2: justify Koberger's arrest said phone records indicated he had been
- 39:04Speaker 2: near the Moscow house on at least 12 occasions. prior
- 39:08Speaker 2: to the murders, and that DNA linked to him was
- 39:11Speaker 2: recovered from a knife sheath found near the scene. Police
- 39:14Speaker 2: have issued search warrants to Google, TikTok, and dating app Tinder,
- 39:19Speaker 2: requesting information on three of the victims going back to
- 39:22Speaker 2: January 2021. It's not just three victims, it's all four victims,
- 39:27Speaker 2: plus a bunch of redacted names. And you see the
- 39:30Speaker 2: is why we go through those court documents. I know
- 39:32Speaker 2: that the court documents aren't as fun as these updates
- 39:36Speaker 2: that we do. but I find that they're crucial for
- 39:38Speaker 2: us to know what's going on. We can't trust the
- 39:41Speaker 2: legacy media to keep us up to date. We can't
- 39:44Speaker 2: trust the legacy media to have their story straight.
- 39:47Speaker 1: They never do.
- 39:48Speaker 2: Now, that doesn't mean nobody in the legacy media has
- 39:51Speaker 2: their shit together, but the vast majority of these people
- 39:54Speaker 2: in the legacy media are nothing more than screen-reading mouthpieces.
- 39:59Speaker 2: So that's why we continue with the long journey to
- 40:02Speaker 2: the top of the mountain when it comes to the
- 40:04Speaker 2: court documents. Also, yesterday, NewsNation was reporting that one of
- 40:10Speaker 2: the victim's IDs was found in the possession of Brian Koberger.
- 40:15Speaker 2: So let's dive into this article from NewsNation and let's
- 40:19Speaker 2: see what's up.
- 40:20Speaker 1: Headline, sources.
- 40:21Speaker 2: ID from Idaho killings found in Koberger home searches.
- 40:26Speaker 1: Well, that's significant.
- 40:27Speaker 2: If that's for real, and that's not just a rumor,
- 40:30Speaker 2: if that's actual fact, then Brian Koberger's cooked, and all
- 40:34Speaker 2: of the people over on the Brian Koberger Reddit forum,
- 40:38Speaker 2: they're all going to be pretty depressed. This article was
- 40:41Speaker 2: authored by Chris Cuomo and Tyler Warnell. An ID connected
- 40:48Speaker 2: to someone from the Quadruple Homicide Moscow, Idaho, was found
- 40:52Speaker 2: during one of the searches of Brian Koberger's residence's News
- 40:56Speaker 2: Nation has exclusively learned. Police also believe they have evidence
- 41:01Speaker 2: connecting Kohlberger to alleged cyber-stalking of someone from the Moscow
- 41:06Speaker 2: residence where four University of Idaho students were killed in November.
- 41:11Speaker 2: Police arrested Kohlberger in Pennsylvania at his parents' home roughly
- 41:16Speaker 2: six weeks after the fatal stabbings. Court documents have revealed
- 41:20Speaker 2: police used DNA left on the knife sheath at the
- 41:23Speaker 2: scene to link him to the crime. So that's pretty
- 41:27Speaker 2: damning stuff, folks. If this turns out to be true
- 41:30Speaker 2: and they did find the ID, the party's over. How
- 41:33Speaker 2: else would he come into possession of that ID? And
- 41:36Speaker 2: then if they do find that ID on him or
- 41:38Speaker 2: if they did find it on him, all of that
- 41:41Speaker 2: circumstantial evidence that all of these contrarians want to tell
- 41:45Speaker 2: you doesn't matter. Oh boy, does it loom large then?
- 41:49Speaker 2: You see all of these people out here who are
- 41:51Speaker 2: talking about Kohlberger being innocent or how the affidavit doesn't
- 41:55Speaker 2: add up They don't know what else the government has.
- 41:59Speaker 2: And let me tell you what, the government never shows
- 42:02Speaker 2: up with all of their evidence. They always have some
- 42:05Speaker 2: stuff in reserve. They're going to wait for discovery to
- 42:08Speaker 2: drop everything on Brian Kohlberger. And with the gag order,
- 42:12Speaker 2: we're not even going to know what comes up in
- 42:14Speaker 2: that discovery until we get into a courtroom. So if
- 42:17Speaker 2: this is indeed true, Kohlberger certainly already knows that the
- 42:20Speaker 2: government knows that the ID was found. A search warrant
- 42:25Speaker 2: unsealed earlier this year revealed police seized IDs from Koberger's car,
- 42:29Speaker 2: but it did not specify to whom they belonged. Remember
- 42:34Speaker 2: in the affidavit, in the search warrant, they had the
- 42:37Speaker 2: listings of the things they took, and it was IDs
- 42:41Speaker 2: in like a sock or something like that. It's a
- 42:45Speaker 2: big deal. That is a smoking license. Retired FBI agent
- 42:49Speaker 2: Jennifer Kofendafer said Thursday on Cuomo, just like the sheath
- 42:53Speaker 2: was a smoking sheath, found next to Maddie with his
- 42:57Speaker 2: DNA on that clasp. It's the same thing in this situation.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Why would he have an ID related to one of
- 43:03Speaker 2: those people from that house? That is a good question,
- 43:06Speaker 2: and it's on point. There's no way to excuse that
- 43:09Speaker 2: or explain it. The bodies of Zanna Kernodle, Ethan Chapin,
- 43:13Speaker 2: Madison Mogan, and Kaylee Gonsalves were found November 13th inside
- 43:18Speaker 2: the off-campus rental house they lived in. all were stabbed
- 43:22Speaker 2: to death. In addition to the DNA found on the
- 43:25Speaker 2: knife sheath, police say cell phone tower data puts Koberger
- 43:29Speaker 2: near the scene of the crime immediately after the killings.
- 43:32Speaker 2: Police have not yet recovered the murder weapon. Police would
- 43:35Speaker 2: not officially confirm the details of the license due to
- 43:39Speaker 2: a gag order in the case. But high-profile trial attorney
- 43:43Speaker 2: Mark Garagos said it would be a hurdle for the
- 43:45Speaker 2: defense if presented in court.
- 43:48Speaker 1: Yeah, no shit. Like a 500-foot hurdle. How are you
- 43:52Speaker 1: going to jump over that one?
- 43:53Speaker 2: How are you going to explain that you have the
- 43:55Speaker 2: ID of a dead person with all of the other
- 43:58Speaker 2: evidence that's been compiled against you? So if this is
- 44:01Speaker 2: indeed true, then the party's over for Kohlberger, and it's
- 44:05Speaker 2: not a matter of if the conviction's coming. It's just
- 44:08Speaker 2: a matter of when. All right, folks, that's going to
- 44:11Speaker 2: do it for this one. All of the information that
- 44:13Speaker 2: goes with the episode can be found in the description box.
