Latest / Beyond The Horizon / Mega Edition: Bryan Kohberger And The Instagram Rumors (8/6/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. We're
- 0:04Speaker 1: getting information out today that Brian Koberger did, in fact,
- 0:09Speaker 1: at least according to sources, follow Kaylee Madison and Zana
- 0:15Speaker 1: on Instagram. Now, this is something I've talked about previously
- 0:19Speaker 1: and said that I saw with my own eyes at
- 0:21Speaker 1: least saw this account that they're talking about right in
- 0:24Speaker 1: the aftermath of all of this happening.
- 0:27Speaker 2: And like usual, when you.
- 0:29Speaker 1: Have a situation like this, Instagram or social media in general,
- 0:33Speaker 1: they'll usually purge the profile of the person suspected of
- 0:38Speaker 1: these kinds of crimes whenever it has this kind of notoriety.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Forget it.
- 0:43Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to find anything on
- 0:45Speaker 1: the internet. Look how quickly they scrubbed the survey off
- 0:49Speaker 1: of Reddit. It was there one second. I tried to
- 0:52Speaker 1: get into the studio to report about it, and it
- 0:54Speaker 1: was scrubbed by the time I got into the studio,
- 0:58Speaker 1: So good thing. I screenshotted it, and obviously a lot
- 1:00Speaker 1: of other people did as well. But my point is
- 1:03Speaker 1: when you have something like this occur, they're going to
- 1:06Speaker 1: purge those accounts very quickly for whatever reason. And now
- 1:11Speaker 1: we're getting reports that Coberger did, in fact follow them
- 1:16Speaker 1: on Instagram. So let's get into this article from Fox
- 1:19Speaker 1: News and let's get caught up headline. Idaho murder suspect
- 1:24Speaker 1: Brian Koberger followed three female victims on Instagram before stabbings.
- 1:30Speaker 1: Report claims this article was authored by Michael Ruiz. Brian Coohberger,
- 1:38Speaker 1: the twenty eight year old man accused of murder in
- 1:40Speaker 1: the ambush of four University of Idaho's students in November,
- 1:44Speaker 1: allegedly followed three of them on Instagram before the attack.
- 1:48Speaker 1: A new report claims numerous Instagram accounts using Coberger's name
- 1:53Speaker 1: appeared after his arrest was made public and followed the victims,
- 1:57Speaker 1: but it was not immediately clear whether any of the
- 2:00Speaker 1: accounts belonged to him. He was arrested on December thirtieth,
- 2:05Speaker 1: nearly seven weeks after police alleged he entered a six
- 2:08Speaker 1: bedroom home in Moscow, Idaho, and stabbed four college students,
- 2:12Speaker 1: Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. And
- 2:19Speaker 1: anytime you have a situation with a lot of attention
- 2:23Speaker 1: in the media, you're gonna have people out there, trolls
- 2:26Speaker 1: and weirdos who are gonna make profiles based on the
- 2:30Speaker 1: person who is alleged to commit the crimes or murders.
- 2:33Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many Jeffrey Epstein profiles. Your
- 2:37Speaker 1: boy stumbled upon at least one account in his name
- 2:42Speaker 1: that was observed by Fox News Digital following Gonsalves, Mogan
- 2:46Speaker 1: and Kernodle appears to be no longer active. The other
- 2:49Speaker 1: three were all still online when we checked Thursday afternoon,
- 2:53Speaker 1: and that's exactly what happens. They purged those accounts, meaning
- 2:57Speaker 1: the social media companies in conjunction with law enforcement or
- 3:01Speaker 1: whatever the hell's going on behind the scenes. I really
- 3:04Speaker 1: don't know, but anytime there is any sort of situation
- 3:08Speaker 1: of notoriety, they end up purging those profiles real quick.
- 3:12Speaker 1: So it's always a race as somebody who talks about
- 3:15Speaker 1: the news compiles the news to try and get to
- 3:18Speaker 1: those things before they're purged from the Internet for good.
- 3:22Speaker 1: And a lot of times people are pretty cagey and
- 3:25Speaker 1: they get there quickly. You get screenshots and all of that,
- 3:28Speaker 1: but unfortunately a lot of it goes away very very fast,
- 3:32Speaker 1: and if people aren't quick on picking up on who
- 3:36Speaker 1: the suspect is and what their social media accounts are.
- 3:39Speaker 1: They'll be gone before any of us ever get a
- 3:42Speaker 1: look at them. But when this all first started, this
- 3:45Speaker 1: was a point of research, basically for a lot of
- 3:48Speaker 1: people going through the social media accounts and trying to
- 3:51Speaker 1: make those ties. A message at the profile url for
- 3:56Speaker 1: at krim dot Coberger Thursday Red, the link you followed
- 4:01Speaker 1: may be broken or the page may have been removed meta.
- 4:05Speaker 1: Instagram's parent company frequently takes down accounts linked to murder suspects.
- 4:11Speaker 1: All three female victims had public Instagram accounts, Chapins was private.
- 4:16Speaker 1: None of them followed Coburger. People reported on Thursday. Yeah,
- 4:21Speaker 1: I don't see why they would look. And I'm not
- 4:24Speaker 1: out here saying, oh, Brian Colberger is some kind of
- 4:26Speaker 1: creeper weirdo. I don't know the guy, right, but I'm
- 4:29Speaker 1: talking about just in general, a twenty eight year old
- 4:32Speaker 1: teaching assistant in the criminology department at Washington State University
- 4:36Speaker 1: probably isn't hanging out in the social circle with people
- 4:40Speaker 1: who were fueled up by white Clause and country music
- 4:44Speaker 1: doesn't seem to go hand in hand to me. Now,
- 4:46Speaker 1: does that mean Coburger never went to a party over
- 4:49Speaker 1: at their house. Well, of course not. We know that
- 4:52Speaker 1: there was a lot of people in and out of
- 4:54Speaker 1: that house. We know that it was a relatively transient
- 4:57Speaker 1: situation over there, so sure he might been over there
- 5:00Speaker 1: or something like that, but as far as being friendly
- 5:03Speaker 1: with them and you know, being invited over for a
- 5:05Speaker 1: white claw knight, I highly doubt that was ever going
- 5:08Speaker 1: to occur. So the only thing logical would be a
- 5:14Speaker 1: he saw them at the restaurant or where they worked,
- 5:17Speaker 1: figured out what their names was, and then well follow
- 5:20Speaker 1: them on social media and from there the sky was
- 5:23Speaker 1: the limit. If you look at their social media accounts,
- 5:27Speaker 1: they're not private on there, right, what young kids are?
- 5:30Speaker 1: The whole point of having those social media accounts is
- 5:32Speaker 1: so that you can show the world a great time
- 5:34Speaker 1: you're having. But when you do that, you also open
- 5:38Speaker 1: yourself up to some weird shit and some weird people.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And I can't even imagine what really good looking young
- 5:44Speaker 1: girls go through. It can only it must be a
- 5:47Speaker 1: nightmare for some of these girls with some of the
- 5:49Speaker 1: weirdos out there. So I can't even imagine the messages
- 5:53Speaker 1: that you get sent. So the whole Brian Kohberger knew
- 5:56Speaker 1: them socially, that whole entire theory never really track with me,
- 6:00Speaker 1: never at all, not from the beginning, not in the middle,
- 6:03Speaker 1: and not now. It had to be some kind of
- 6:06Speaker 1: random encounter where he saw them and took a liking
- 6:09Speaker 1: to one or all of them, and then it progressed
- 6:12Speaker 1: into what it became. The report did not name the account,
- 6:17Speaker 1: but said the outlet had reviewed it before it became inactive.
- 6:21Speaker 1: The outlet reported earlier this week that Coburger messaged at
- 6:25Speaker 1: least one victim numerous times but never received a response,
- 6:30Speaker 1: also citing an unnamed source. So again, remember unnamed sources here.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Nobody has put their name behind this. Obviously with the
- 6:37Speaker 1: gag order, you can't expect people to do that. But
- 6:40Speaker 1: there's going to be people out there that are not
- 6:42Speaker 1: going to trust these unnamed sources. And I get that
- 6:46Speaker 1: a lot of that is the media's own fault for
- 6:49Speaker 1: a lot of the shenanigans they like to pull. So
- 6:51Speaker 1: I understand completely why people are very hesitant to believe
- 6:56Speaker 1: unnamed sources. But me personally, looking at all of it
- 7:01Speaker 1: and looking at how this evidence hasn't unfolded and what
- 7:04Speaker 1: the likeliest outcomes are, this all tracks and in most circumstances.
- 7:10Speaker 1: I am a huge believer in Okham's razor, because I've
- 7:14Speaker 1: certainly learned that the best idea is to make as
- 7:17Speaker 1: few assumptions as possible, because the most likeliest outcome is
- 7:22Speaker 1: usually the right one. He's slid into one of the
- 7:25Speaker 1: girls dms several times, but she didn't respond. An unnamed
- 7:29Speaker 1: investigator told the outlet, basically it was just him saying, hey,
- 7:33Speaker 1: how are you? But he did it again and again.
- 7:36Speaker 1: Coberger reportedly sent the first message in late October, then
- 7:40Speaker 1: a series of follow ups when he did not receive
- 7:43Speaker 1: a response. According to people, so this dude is out
- 7:47Speaker 1: here shooting off these direct messages trying to get their attention,
- 7:52Speaker 1: doesn't get their attention, at least according to this theory
- 7:55Speaker 1: that we're working on here, right, because again we don't
- 7:59Speaker 1: know it's one hundred percent true, But according to this theory,
- 8:02Speaker 1: he sends them that first message, they don't respond, meaning
- 8:06Speaker 1: whichever one he sent it to, and then he keeps
- 8:08Speaker 1: sending them. Then you have a couple of months later,
- 8:11Speaker 1: a couple of weeks later, I mean, and they end
- 8:13Speaker 1: up dead. Certainly not looking good for Coburger. Fox News
- 8:18Speaker 1: Digital was unable to confirm the reporting independently. Leta County,
- 8:23Speaker 1: Idaho Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall issued a gag order on
- 8:26Speaker 1: the case earlier this month, restricting comment from investigators and
- 8:31Speaker 1: attorneys from both sides. Shannon Gray, the attorney for the
- 8:35Speaker 1: Gonsalvas parents, said no one knew about Coburger before the slayings,
- 8:39Speaker 1: but he left open the possibility any information any of
- 8:43Speaker 1: the families gather regarding connections to any of the victims
- 8:47Speaker 1: will be turned over to the Moscow Police Department, he
- 8:51Speaker 1: told Fox News Digital. Police allege that Coburger snuck into
- 8:55Speaker 1: the six bedroom rental house on King Road in Moscow
- 8:59Speaker 1: on No. Three teenth and kill the four students, at
- 9:02Speaker 1: least some of whom who are believed who have been
- 9:05Speaker 1: asleep at the start of the ambush, and we know
- 9:08Speaker 1: now that all of them were in a sleep. We
- 9:10Speaker 1: won't rehash all of that, but it's gruesome to think
- 9:13Speaker 1: about what the final moments of Xana and Ethan must
- 9:17Speaker 1: have been like, for sure, especially if Xana was awake
- 9:21Speaker 1: getting her food, you know, sitting around on TikTok or whatever,
- 9:25Speaker 1: eating some Jack in the box, and this disgusting piece
- 9:29Speaker 1: of shit skulks around into your home and murders you
- 9:32Speaker 1: like that. It is just almost too much to even comprehend, Like,
- 9:38Speaker 1: how does that even happen? How can somebody be so
- 9:41Speaker 1: evil that they come up with this whole plan, this
- 9:43Speaker 1: whole plot, and premeditated. It's not like, you know, you
- 9:48Speaker 1: got angry and you know you were being picked on
- 9:50Speaker 1: at a party and you went batshit insane. Well that's
- 9:53Speaker 1: no excuse. At least, there's no reason. There ain't no
- 9:56Speaker 1: reason here besides you being a degenerate fuck. The three
- 10:03Speaker 1: female victims lived together in a rental house on King
- 10:06Speaker 1: RhoD in Moscow, just steps off the University of Idaho
- 10:09Speaker 1: campus Chapin Kernodle's boyfriend was staying over that night. According
- 10:14Speaker 1: to police, Coburger left behind a k bar knife sheath
- 10:18Speaker 1: with DNA on the snap. Investigators recovered it in Mogan's bed,
- 10:22Speaker 1: next to her body. And when you start looking at
- 10:26Speaker 1: everything that we know so far, it really is starting
- 10:28Speaker 1: to look like Madison was the target. You got the
- 10:32Speaker 1: sheath next to her in the bed, the connection at
- 10:34Speaker 1: the mad Greek where she worked, followed on Instagram, So
- 10:39Speaker 1: I thought it was Kaylee at first, to be honest
- 10:41Speaker 1: with you. But with all of these other connections and
- 10:44Speaker 1: learning about the mad Greek and the source saying and
- 10:48Speaker 1: the investigator saying that he was actually there, it makes
- 10:51Speaker 1: a lot of sense that it was in fact Madison
- 10:54Speaker 1: who was the main target. Coburger lived in an apartment
- 11:00Speaker 1: in Pullman, Washington, where he was studying for a PhD
- 11:03Speaker 1: in the Washington State University Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology.
- 11:08Speaker 1: The campus is across the state line, but only about
- 11:11Speaker 1: ten miles from the University of Idaho. Coburger had allegedly
- 11:16Speaker 1: been stalking the King Rode home for weeks, according to
- 11:19Speaker 1: the probable cause affid David and all of that lines
- 11:22Speaker 1: up the messages on Instagram stalking the house. Things are escalating,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and that's how it works with these people. They escalate
- 11:30Speaker 1: from their fantasies into actions. Coburger is due back in
- 11:36Speaker 1: court in late June for a preliminary hearing where his
- 11:39Speaker 1: defense team intends to challenge the probable cause laid out
- 11:42Speaker 1: against them good luck. However, as Fox News Digital has reported,
- 11:48Speaker 1: prosecutors could sidestep his stall tactic if they secure a
- 11:51Speaker 1: grand jury indictment. Before that, Coburger could face the death
- 11:56Speaker 1: penalty if convicted and with a grand jury. Remember, they
- 12:00Speaker 1: can go this sealed indictment route and we wouldn't even know.
- 12:03Speaker 1: They could keep that indictment sealed until they're ready to
- 12:06Speaker 1: unveil it and then drop that like a bomb on
- 12:08Speaker 1: Brian Coberger. So it's certainly something to keep in mind.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Do I think they're going to go that route. I'm
- 12:14Speaker 1: not too sure, but certainly something that they can use,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and certainly something that they do use in cases such
- 12:20Speaker 1: as this. All right, folks, Well there it is a
- 12:24Speaker 1: little bit of confirmation, at least according to the source
- 12:26Speaker 1: from People Magazine about Brian Coberger following Madison, Zana and
- 12:32Speaker 1: Kaylee on Instagram. If you'd like to contact me, you
- 12:38Speaker 1: can do that at Bobby Kapuchi at ProtonMail dot com.
- 12:42Speaker 1: That's bo bb Y c apu Cci at proton mail
- 12:47Speaker 1: dot com. You can also find me on Twitter at
- 12:50Speaker 1: bo bby underscore c ap use Cci. The link that
- 12:56Speaker 1: I discussed can be found in the description box What's
- 13:01Speaker 1: up everyone, and welcome back to the program. Sources are
- 13:07Speaker 1: reporting to People Magazine that there has been confirmation that
- 13:12Speaker 1: Brian Coberger was trying to contact one of the roommates
- 13:17Speaker 1: via Instagram. Now, for me, that certainly tracks considering we've
- 13:23Speaker 1: talked about how Brian Coberger was following Maddie and kay
- 13:27Speaker 1: Lee on Instagram according to those early Brian Koberger social
- 13:33Speaker 1: media accounts before it became you know, a story that
- 13:37Speaker 1: blew up, the account that was registered to Brian Coberger
- 13:41Speaker 1: certainly showed that it was following Kaylee and Madison. So
- 13:45Speaker 1: getting this information from a source really doesn't sound like
- 13:49Speaker 1: it's that far fetch, to be honest with you. Now,
- 13:52Speaker 1: of course, keep in mind that this information is from
- 13:56Speaker 1: an unnamed source, but a lot of times what you'll
- 13:59Speaker 1: see is people who have worked close to the case
- 14:02Speaker 1: who might not be working on it anymore. Well, they
- 14:05Speaker 1: might have a few things to say as far as
- 14:07Speaker 1: being an anonymous source for the media, and we've seen
- 14:12Speaker 1: that in several different cases. We've seen it down in
- 14:15Speaker 1: Delphi as well. It was a source who told us
- 14:18Speaker 1: about Keegan Klein, about the search of the Wilbash River,
- 14:22Speaker 1: and about some of the other stuff that was going
- 14:24Speaker 1: on behind the scenes. So I would definitely expect some
- 14:29Speaker 1: leaks in this case as well. Now, are they going
- 14:32Speaker 1: to come fast and furious? I doubt it, but according
- 14:36Speaker 1: to this source, Brian Coohberger sent a DM or multiple
- 14:41Speaker 1: dms to at least one of these roommates leading up
- 14:45Speaker 1: to the days that they were murdered. So let's dive
- 14:48Speaker 1: into this article from Daily Mail and let's see exactly
- 14:53Speaker 1: what's going on headline. Idaho murder suspect Brian Cohberger is
- 14:58Speaker 1: accused of messaging female victim on Instagram weeks before killings
- 15:03Speaker 1: and pestered her with more dms when he didn't get
- 15:06Speaker 1: her reply. This article was authored by Hope Sloop. Idaho
- 15:15Speaker 1: murder suspect Brian Coberger allegedly messaged one of the female
- 15:18Speaker 1: victims weeks before the quadruples slaying and sent more direct
- 15:23Speaker 1: messages after she ignored him speaking with people. One police
- 15:28Speaker 1: source said Coburger twenty eight reached out to one of
- 15:32Speaker 1: the four University of Idaho's students slain over Instagram repeatedly
- 15:36Speaker 1: in an attempt to get her attention. And now again, folks, look,
- 15:41Speaker 1: this is coming from an anonymous source, so it's not
- 15:45Speaker 1: like it is concrete evidence this definitely happened. But in
- 15:50Speaker 1: my experience, usually when you hear a source like this
- 15:54Speaker 1: or information that's coming from a source that says they're
- 15:57Speaker 1: close to what's going on, chances are you're gonna get
- 16:01Speaker 1: some good information. Now does that mean it's always going
- 16:04Speaker 1: to be spot on? Of course not, But with all
- 16:07Speaker 1: of the other stuff that we know, and the fact
- 16:10Speaker 1: that Coburger was following them on Instagram, it would make
- 16:14Speaker 1: sense that he tries to get their attention. Right now,
- 16:17Speaker 1: I guess you can make the counter argument that if
- 16:19Speaker 1: he planned on hurting them, he would never reach out
- 16:22Speaker 1: to them and leave that evidence of contact between the two.
- 16:26Speaker 1: But after we saw the crime scene in Moscow and
- 16:30Speaker 1: all of the evidence left there, I guess it wouldn't
- 16:32Speaker 1: be too surprising to see digital footprints of evidence as well.
- 16:37Speaker 1: He slid into one of the girls dms several times,
- 16:40Speaker 1: but she didn't respond. The source told people basically it
- 16:44Speaker 1: was just him saying, hey, how are you? But he
- 16:47Speaker 1: did it again and again, and now could that have
- 16:50Speaker 1: enraged him more and led him to carry out whatever
- 16:54Speaker 1: fucked up fantasy he was harboring.
- 16:56Speaker 2: Who knows, But if this source is to be believed.
- 16:59Speaker 1: Then this is another tie that binds right another one
- 17:03Speaker 1: of those foundational blocks that we were talking about. It
- 17:07Speaker 1: is unknown at this time, which student Coburger sent Instagram
- 17:10Speaker 1: messages to, or who the investigator familiar with the cases
- 17:14Speaker 1: that spoke to the magazine. The source also didn't say
- 17:18Speaker 1: whether the woman Coburger allegedly messaged deliberately ignored him, or
- 17:23Speaker 1: if the message he sent went into her requested folder
- 17:26Speaker 1: from people she wasn't friends with. Those messages don't appear
- 17:30Speaker 1: as alerts and are harder to see. So I'm sure
- 17:33Speaker 1: most of you are familiar with how that works, right,
- 17:36Speaker 1: Somebody that you're not friends with or whatever on Instagram
- 17:39Speaker 1: sends you a message, it goes to that request folder,
- 17:42Speaker 1: And most of us, well people like me anyway, who
- 17:44Speaker 1: hardly use social.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Media, I very rarely checked that.
- 17:48Speaker 1: But you would think that somebody who's on social media
- 17:51Speaker 1: all the time, like college kids are, that they would
- 17:54Speaker 1: check that folder, right, I mean, you would think it
- 17:56Speaker 1: would make sense. So if so and she did check it,
- 18:00Speaker 1: did she leave it on red and just not respond?
- 18:03Speaker 1: Very possible. Idaho victim Kelley Gonsalves is said to have
- 18:09Speaker 1: complained of a stalker in the run up to the killings,
- 18:13Speaker 1: but it's unclear if there's any link between this and
- 18:16Speaker 1: or murder. And you know, We've talked a lot about
- 18:19Speaker 1: Kaylee being the intended target, and I'll tell you, the
- 18:22Speaker 1: more I think about it, the more I have to
- 18:24Speaker 1: say that it's possible that it was Madison and not
- 18:28Speaker 1: kay Lee. With Kaylee not living there anymore? Did he
- 18:32Speaker 1: not think that she was gonna be there when he
- 18:34Speaker 1: went there that night? And then again I flip back
- 18:37Speaker 1: and forth and say to myself, well, he was casing
- 18:40Speaker 1: the joint out, wouldn't he have known. So it's one
- 18:42Speaker 1: of those cases where it's very, very difficult to really
- 18:46Speaker 1: put your finger on what went down, or what would
- 18:49Speaker 1: motivate something like this to go down, or who even
- 18:52Speaker 1: the intended target was. So with so many unknowns, all
- 18:56Speaker 1: were left with are the few pieces that have been
- 18:59Speaker 1: left here on the puzzle board. Coburger, a PhD criminology
- 19:04Speaker 1: student at Washington State University, was arrested at his family
- 19:07Speaker 1: home in all Brightsville, Pennsylvania, on December thirtieth. He has
- 19:12Speaker 1: maintained his innocence in the stabbings of Kaylee Gonsalvez, Madison Mogan,
- 19:16Speaker 1: Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle.
- 19:20Speaker 2: Now.
- 19:21Speaker 1: One local law enforcement official close to the case says
- 19:24Speaker 1: the evidence against Coburger is continuing to pile up.
- 19:27Speaker 2: No shit.
- 19:30Speaker 1: I mean, did people really think that they didn't have
- 19:33Speaker 1: a ton of evidence behind the scenes.
- 19:35Speaker 2: Once we saw that probable.
- 19:36Speaker 1: Cause, Avid David, I knew right away that old boy
- 19:39Speaker 1: was up against it. You don't have that kind of
- 19:42Speaker 1: strong evidence in and a probable cause, Avid David very often.
- 19:47Speaker 1: And when you see that kind of language, the strong language,
- 19:50Speaker 1: the evidence that was presented, you know they're working with
- 19:53Speaker 1: something behind the scenes that's going to be devastating for
- 19:57Speaker 1: the accused. And I have no doubt that that is
- 20:00Speaker 1: Brian Coberger's future for sure. The Instagram account in question
- 20:06Speaker 1: was viewed by people prior to having been taken down.
- 20:09Speaker 1: Colberger allegedly followed Mogan, Gonsalvez and kern Odle. He did
- 20:14Speaker 1: not publicly interact with their accounts otherwise, the outlet states.
- 20:18Speaker 1: In alleged messages sent from the now deleted Instagram, Coburger
- 20:22Speaker 1: appeared to be hoping to get the attention of the
- 20:25Speaker 1: victim he was targeting. Now, I wasn't sure that he
- 20:28Speaker 1: was following Xana. I didn't see that with my own eyes,
- 20:32Speaker 1: but I did see that he was following Kaylee and
- 20:36Speaker 1: he was following Madison for sure. And I've talked about
- 20:39Speaker 1: that previously, and when he was first arrested and we
- 20:42Speaker 1: were talking about it, and I saw that. I knew
- 20:45Speaker 1: that it would be significant down the road. When they
- 20:47Speaker 1: kept building this profile of them and they continued with
- 20:50Speaker 1: the foundational blocks, Eventually they'll get to a point where
- 20:54Speaker 1: they're really diving in. And I'm guessing that's what's going
- 20:57Speaker 1: on right now as we speak up in Moscow and
- 21:01Speaker 1: in these crime labs. The victim, whose identity has not
- 21:05Speaker 1: been confirmed, did not respond to the messages for unknown reasons.
- 21:10Speaker 1: The official who spoke with people, however, asserted the victim
- 21:13Speaker 1: may have completely missed them. She may not have seen
- 21:16Speaker 1: them because she went into message requests, the source said
- 21:19Speaker 1: of the messages. The dms were allegedly sent in October,
- 21:23Speaker 1: just weeks before the November thirteenth murders, So look make
- 21:29Speaker 1: of that what you will. I don't know what Brian
- 21:32Speaker 1: Kolberger was thinking. I don't know if he was offended.
- 21:34Speaker 1: I don't know if he was mad that nobody responded
- 21:36Speaker 1: to him when he sent these dms?
- 21:38Speaker 2: Allegedly?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Could that have been the catalyst that got things going?
- 21:43Speaker 1: When a person who an Instagram user does not follow
- 21:46Speaker 1: back attempts to send a message, it goes to a
- 21:49Speaker 1: designated folder called message requests. These requests are located in
- 21:53Speaker 1: a different place than typical messages. The investigators said they
- 21:57Speaker 1: are still trying to determine how aware the victims were
- 22:01Speaker 1: of his existence. Yeah, that's going to be the million
- 22:05Speaker 1: dollar question right now for the investigators. And if they
- 22:08Speaker 1: can see that he had sent them a bunch of
- 22:10Speaker 1: messages and they read them and they never responded, you
- 22:14Speaker 1: can certainly make the case that maybe this is the
- 22:17Speaker 1: stalker that Kaylee was talking about. So that's certainly something
- 22:21Speaker 1: we have to keep in mind as well, because if
- 22:24Speaker 1: you look at the dates October, just weeks before the
- 22:27Speaker 1: November thirteenth murders, we know that Kaylee was complaining about
- 22:31Speaker 1: a stalker for weeks, right at least that's what we
- 22:33Speaker 1: have heard, So it certainly makes sense as far as
- 22:37Speaker 1: the timeline goes. It's possible Coburger may have become upset
- 22:43Speaker 1: by the lack of response, but that is just a
- 22:45Speaker 1: theory of many presented by those who have been following
- 22:49Speaker 1: the case. The investigator who spoke with people said there's
- 22:53Speaker 1: no indication of that. However, there's no indication that he
- 22:56Speaker 1: was getting frustrated with their lack of response. The source said, well,
- 23:00Speaker 1: just because there's no indication of that doesn't mean he
- 23:03Speaker 1: wasn't bubbling under the surface. People like this, they're able
- 23:08Speaker 1: to hide that rage, right. They have two different faces.
- 23:11Speaker 1: The face that they wear out in public when they're
- 23:13Speaker 1: standing next to you and your family in line at
- 23:16Speaker 1: the movies, and then the face that they wear when
- 23:18Speaker 1: they're murdering four people while they're in their bedrooms. Even
- 23:23Speaker 1: without the indication of frustration, the source that Coburger was
- 23:27Speaker 1: definitely persistent in the messages to the University of Idaho's student,
- 23:32Speaker 1: though it has not been confirmed by police. Daily mail
- 23:35Speaker 1: dot Com in December reported that Gonsalves in the weeks
- 23:38Speaker 1: leading up to her death would beg friends to walk
- 23:41Speaker 1: closely behind her at all times out of fear of
- 23:43Speaker 1: a stalker who would follow her around town. It is
- 23:47Speaker 1: still unknown if Gonsalves was the one who Coburger messaged,
- 23:51Speaker 1: or if he had stalked her in any capacity. A
- 23:54Speaker 1: motive in the case has yet to be formally shared
- 23:57Speaker 1: by Moscow, Idaho police. So again, folks, look I don't
- 24:02Speaker 1: know what happened here, and I haven't seen these dms
- 24:05Speaker 1: with my own eyes, so I can't say to you
- 24:07Speaker 1: for sure that those dms even happened.
- 24:10Speaker 2: But according to this.
- 24:11Speaker 1: Source, they say that Coburger was dming at least one
- 24:15Speaker 1: of these girls. Then you hear that Kaylee had this stalker,
- 24:19Speaker 1: and things start to fall into place, right again, all circumstantial.
- 24:24Speaker 1: But when you have this kind of circumstantial evidence and
- 24:28Speaker 1: it adds up in the abundance that we have seen, well,
- 24:32Speaker 1: a whole ass picture in HD starts to emerge. One
- 24:38Speaker 1: of the surviving roommates, who was in the house on
- 24:40Speaker 1: the night of the murders, told police she saw a
- 24:42Speaker 1: figure clad in black clothing and a mask walking past
- 24:46Speaker 1: her as they as they left the crime scene. According
- 24:49Speaker 1: to the Probable Cause AFFI David, a knife sheath was
- 24:53Speaker 1: recovered from the scene and tested against Coburger's father's DNA,
- 24:57Speaker 1: which linked the Washington State University student. The crime investigators
- 25:02Speaker 1: also traced his cell phone pings to a nearby tower
- 25:05Speaker 1: in the weeks leading up to the brutal stabbings. However,
- 25:08Speaker 1: some experts have noted that the proximity of Coburger's school
- 25:13Speaker 1: to the off campus home where the victims lived as
- 25:16Speaker 1: an explanation for the pings.
- 25:18Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
- 25:19Speaker 1: You can offer that up until you're blue in the
- 25:21Speaker 1: face to the public, and you can make that case.
- 25:24Speaker 1: But guess what, it's a whole different story when you're
- 25:27Speaker 1: sitting in front of a jury and you have to
- 25:29Speaker 1: make the case that he wasn't stalking them, or he
- 25:32Speaker 1: wasn't the person who did this, when all of the
- 25:35Speaker 1: evidence is telling a completely different story. Moscow isn't so
- 25:41Speaker 1: far away from Washington State University, so it would be
- 25:44Speaker 1: natural that there would be some of those towers that
- 25:47Speaker 1: might ping, said David Wilson, a professor of criminology. There
- 25:51Speaker 1: are just eight miles between Washington State Universities campus and Pullman,
- 25:55Speaker 1: where Coburger studied, and Moscow, Idaho, where the murders took place.
- 26:00Speaker 1: There will be a defense, Wilson stead of the defense.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Coberger has not entered a plea, but he said he
- 26:06Speaker 1: is eager to be exonerated. His next hearing is scheduled
- 26:10Speaker 1: in June. He is also facing one count of felony burglary,
- 26:14Speaker 1: and I wouldn't be shocked to see a superseded indictment
- 26:17Speaker 1: at some point with them adding more charges depending on
- 26:20Speaker 1: what else they find, because that's certainly something that is
- 26:24Speaker 1: in their toolbox. They can supersede the indictment, add more
- 26:27Speaker 1: charges and go from there if they find evidence of
- 26:30Speaker 1: other crimes. So it's certainly something that might happen, all right, folks.
- 26:34Speaker 1: So that should get us up to date on what's
- 26:37Speaker 1: going on as far as the DM situation and with
- 26:41Speaker 1: the alleged messaging by Brian Cohberger to at least one
- 26:46Speaker 1: of the roommates that was murdered on November thirteenth. If
