- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:06Speaker 2: Did Washington State University know Brian Coburger was a dangerous threat?
- 0:15Speaker 1: Were there fiery red.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Flags of alarm that they chose to ignore? Would he
- 0:25Speaker 2: have been kicked out and home to mommy and daddy
- 0:27Speaker 2: in the Poconos and these murders would never have happened
- 0:30Speaker 2: if Washington State University had acted this. As photos of
- 0:37Speaker 2: the killer's bleak apartment are revealed, what clues did he
- 0:42Speaker 2: leave behind?
- 0:43Speaker 1: And believe it or.
- 0:44Speaker 2: Not, witnesses are getting death threats as the victims' families
- 0:50Speaker 2: in anguish as vile images of their children in death
- 0:58Speaker 2: are being released. Oh e double l n oh, I
- 1:04Speaker 2: mean as he Grace, this is Crime Stories. I want
- 1:07Speaker 2: to thank you for being with us.
- 1:10Speaker 3: Location of emergency.
- 1:16Speaker 4: Scream and she ran un stairs because she saw someone.
- 1:20Speaker 1: That's what I'm pretty sure she said. She someone's here
- 1:23Speaker 1: and she's screaming.
- 1:24Speaker 5: Just a random series.
- 1:26Speaker 6: Did you kill and murder Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonsalves, Xana
- 1:30Speaker 6: cernodle Ethan Chapin.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Yes. At this our family members still holding out hope
- 1:35Speaker 2: that the Feds will swoop in and seek the death
- 1:38Speaker 2: penalty on Brian Coburger. Is it possible, And what about
- 1:42Speaker 2: the fact that he was leaving a trail a mile
- 1:46Speaker 2: wide red flags of alarm to Washington State University that
- 1:51Speaker 2: Brian Coburger was a danger. Will listen to what the
- 1:56Speaker 2: Gonsalvice family has to say. Find it really interesting that
- 2:00Speaker 2: Washington State had this long history of his anti woman,
- 2:06Speaker 2: misogynist stalking behavior and did nothing.
- 2:12Speaker 1: That's really interesting.
- 2:14Speaker 2: If he had been thrown out, he wouldn't have even
- 2:15Speaker 2: been there exactly.
- 2:18Speaker 7: Yep.
- 2:19Speaker 8: He should have been thrown out before he ever killed
- 2:21Speaker 8: these kids.
- 2:21Speaker 9: That's the truth.
- 2:22Speaker 8: If they should have set a standard and said, look,
- 2:25Speaker 8: we don't put up with this in our university. You
- 2:28Speaker 8: cross the line, you're done. It's not even our decision,
- 2:31Speaker 8: it's just your behavior. We're holding you accountable. You should
- 2:34Speaker 8: behave like this. That's the expectations in Washington State University.
- 2:38Speaker 8: And you either do it or you don't.
- 2:41Speaker 2: I can always tell when he's having a bad day,
- 2:42Speaker 2: and he looks probably the worst I've ever seen him,
- 2:46Speaker 2: and he just kind of stared at me, and there
- 2:48Speaker 2: was a newsaper sitting on the bar, and he just
- 2:50Speaker 2: kind of picked it up.
- 2:51Speaker 9: And I was like he was him.
- 2:53Speaker 8: He was really desperate for its engine and ways to
- 2:56Speaker 8: control people.
- 2:57Speaker 2: That last sound from our friends ever at Crime Fix
- 3:00Speaker 2: co workers when they heard about the killings.
- 3:04Speaker 1: They're like, it's Coburger.
- 3:06Speaker 2: It's got to be Brian Coburger with me an all
- 3:09Speaker 2: star panel of guests to make sense of what we
- 3:11Speaker 2: know right now. But first to Susan Hendricks, investigative journalists
- 3:17Speaker 2: that shot to fame in her coverage of the Delphi murderers,
- 3:20Speaker 2: author of Down the heel My, descended to the double
- 3:22Speaker 2: murder in Delphi and was there for the sentencing drinking
- 3:27Speaker 2: in every move Coburger made, such as it was or
- 3:31Speaker 2: was not, he seemed completely oblivious to all the pain
- 3:35Speaker 2: around him, pain he had caused. But Susan Hendrix, let
- 3:39Speaker 2: me get to the issue at hand.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Washington State University.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Did you hear mister Golensolvis telling us that there had
- 3:49Speaker 2: been thirteen complaints where he would intimidate or stalk female students.
- 3:55Speaker 7: Absolutely and that he almost or wanted to make them cry.
- 4:00Speaker 5: That is what he did.
- 4:01Speaker 7: He treated them completely different than the male students.
- 4:05Speaker 5: It was signed after.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Sign after sign. To me, what did it take?
- 4:10Speaker 5: And was that the final straw for him? When he
- 4:12Speaker 5: was finally let go.
- 4:14Speaker 7: But you're right, complaint after a complaint, the Gonzalvez family says,
- 4:18Speaker 7: it just told.
- 4:18Speaker 2: Me something I didn't know, Susan Hendrix, that part of
- 4:22Speaker 2: the intimidation tactics on Brian Coiberger was to try and
- 4:25Speaker 2: make the girls cry.
- 4:27Speaker 5: Yes, he seemed to enjoy what well.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I didn't know that.
- 4:31Speaker 7: Yes, would criticize the girls more, pin them out, pointed
- 4:35Speaker 7: them out in class, and would.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Make them cry.
- 4:38Speaker 7: It was a clear difference in that classroom, and they
- 4:42Speaker 7: complained and finally was the final straw when he was
- 4:45Speaker 7: let go. But absolutely there were signs, and we keep
- 4:49Speaker 7: hearing more and more every day.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Did nothing. Doctor Bethany Marshall joining us.
- 4:55Speaker 2: In addition to Susan Hendrix, Doctor Bethany renounced like o
- 4:59Speaker 2: Alice out.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Of La author of deal Breakers.
- 5:01Speaker 2: You can see her now on Peacock and you can
- 5:03Speaker 2: find her a Dr Bethany Marshall dot com.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Dr Bethany.
- 5:08Speaker 2: That sounds like a fifth grade No, not even a
- 5:09Speaker 2: fifth grade, a first grade boy, kiss the girls and
- 5:13Speaker 2: make them cry, A grown man getting his PhD. One instance,
- 5:18Speaker 2: mister Golensovst told me about no is missus Gonsalvias told
- 5:21Speaker 2: me about Christy that he would standing in the doorway
- 5:25Speaker 2: where the students were trying to get into the classroom,
- 5:28Speaker 2: all boat up, and the girls would have to like
- 5:32Speaker 2: edge by him and their bodies, their front of their bodies,
- 5:37Speaker 2: you know what that ntails. It would have to brush
- 5:39Speaker 2: up against him. That's gross. And then Susant Hendricks telling
- 5:44Speaker 2: us that he would intentionally make the girls students cry.
- 5:48Speaker 5: Nancy, this doesn't surprise me at all because the defining
- 5:52Speaker 5: feature of psychopaths is that sexuality, cruelty, and sadism are
- 5:58Speaker 5: all commingled. They go together in some way. So making
- 6:04Speaker 5: the girls cry was probably sexually exciting for him.
- 6:08Speaker 2: Bethany, Okay, you know, even if you wear hit boots
- 6:13Speaker 2: when you walk through the saspool, you're still going to track.
- 6:17Speaker 1: A little home on the living room carpet.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Do you ever get so saturated you track a little
- 6:23Speaker 2: bit home? Because do you hear what you're saying? That
- 6:26Speaker 2: Coburger would get sexually aroused. Oh, I don't even think
- 6:29Speaker 2: about that, over seeing girls tear up and get upset.
- 6:35Speaker 2: And how does that connect to what he did to
- 6:37Speaker 2: the victims?
- 6:38Speaker 5: Well, yeah, so what I'm saying is that seeing them
- 6:42Speaker 5: cry is like looking in their eyes and seeing pain
- 6:45Speaker 5: of some sort. And when you think about what he
- 6:47Speaker 5: might have been doing to make them cry, he was
- 6:50Speaker 5: probably gathering personal information and pushing their buttons, and that
- 6:54Speaker 5: I'm saying this is associated with sexual arousal. So these
- 7:00Speaker 5: women he probably had an erection while he was doing this.
- 7:03Speaker 5: And how it relates to the murders is that the
- 7:06Speaker 5: murders were really overkilled. They were statistically motivated. And if
- 7:11Speaker 5: we think of think of him stalking the women, the
- 7:15Speaker 5: university women as kind of like foreplay before he got
- 7:19Speaker 5: to the major crime, which was stabbing these students multiple times.
- 7:24Speaker 5: So it's like he was graduating towards increasingly sadistic acts
- 7:29Speaker 5: in order to maintain his sexual excitement.
- 7:32Speaker 1: That's what we have to see.
- 7:33Speaker 5: So had he not been incarcerated.
- 7:36Speaker 2: Yes, Bethany, wait till you hear this, Christy. Missus Gonsalves
- 7:42Speaker 2: and husband Steve Gonsalves are telling me about how many
- 7:47Speaker 2: complaints he had. Now, remember, doctor Bethany, he had just
- 7:50Speaker 2: gotten to pull him in Washington State University and by
- 7:53Speaker 2: Thanksgiving they say that there were already that they know
- 7:59Speaker 2: of teen formal complaints by women against him. What is
- 8:05Speaker 2: that September, October, part of November, in two and a
- 8:10Speaker 2: half months. What I'm saying is Washington State apparently did nothing.
- 8:16Speaker 2: They finally had meetings and discussions and blah blah blah,
- 8:20Speaker 2: and decided they were going to let him go. But
- 8:23Speaker 2: they released him just out into the wilderness.
- 8:28Speaker 1: Now listen to what they said, doctor Bethany.
- 8:31Speaker 4: I mean, he had thirteen in the first semester. The
- 8:34Speaker 4: first one came in August, that's the first month that
- 8:36Speaker 4: you come to school, and then twelve twelve after and
- 8:41Speaker 4: November had a huge, you know, Thanksgiving break, and then
- 8:44Speaker 4: he didn't even go the whole month of December. He
- 8:46Speaker 4: took off, like December ninth or tenth. And there's thirteen
- 8:51Speaker 4: formal complaints back, aggressive and standing doorways from what we've read,
- 8:55Speaker 4: and the girls would have to like walk past him
- 8:58Speaker 4: and like all right, yeah, you know.
- 9:01Speaker 1: Joining me is justice.
- 9:02Speaker 2: Scott Morgan not only death investigator with literally thousands of
- 9:08Speaker 2: death scenes under his belt. He is a star of
- 9:11Speaker 2: hitting new series Body Bags with Joe. Scott Morgan, author
- 9:15Speaker 2: of Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, but purpose for
- 9:19Speaker 2: purposes of this discussion, Joe Scott is also professor a
- 9:22Speaker 2: forensics at Jacksonville State University.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Don't you guys have rules?
- 9:28Speaker 2: I mean, I know Jacksonville State University does, But how
- 9:31Speaker 2: many complaints do there have to be? There's thirteen formal
- 9:35Speaker 2: complaints we've been told by the gonsalvices.
- 9:37Speaker 1: How many more were they that were just like comments?
- 9:41Speaker 2: You know, just comments like what is wrong with him
- 9:44Speaker 2: going to complain to another faculty member or a guidance
- 9:47Speaker 2: counselor what in the world can you imagine a grown
- 9:52Speaker 2: man enjoying seeing his girls students.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Start crying and they just let it happen.
- 9:57Speaker 10: According to reports at jack State, he would have been
- 10:01Speaker 10: out on his ear. This is my twenty first year
- 10:04Speaker 10: as a college professor, Nancy, and I got to tell you,
- 10:08Speaker 10: I'm thinking about this in a different way now that
- 10:10Speaker 10: this conversation has come out and I've got my professor
- 10:13Speaker 10: hat on right now. I think that his motivation for
- 10:20Speaker 10: being in an academic environment is so that he can
- 10:26Speaker 10: perpetrate upon these defenseless kids. In this environment, he is
- 10:30Speaker 10: lord and master in this environment. He can control the classroom,
- 10:35Speaker 10: He can do whatever he wants to. He can do
- 10:37Speaker 10: that dead eyed stare at people, and he is not
- 10:41Speaker 10: in any way an educator. Look when kids come into
- 10:44Speaker 10: my class and they're learning about forensics, I don't want
- 10:48Speaker 10: to sound like a Kumba y'ah moment, because it's not.
- 10:50Speaker 10: I want them to come in so that they can learn,
- 10:53Speaker 10: so they can go forth and be effective practitioners in
- 10:56Speaker 10: the field. That's not the environment that he created, Nancy.
- 11:01Speaker 10: If I were to compare him to something, I would
- 11:04Speaker 10: say this. If you know how a snapping turtle works.
- 11:08Speaker 10: They sit on the bottom of the water, their mouth
- 11:10Speaker 10: is open, and you know what, their tongue comes out
- 11:12Speaker 10: and it looks like a worm. So anything that comes
- 11:14Speaker 10: by that fish is going to attack that worm and
- 11:18Speaker 10: then they clamp down. That's what he is. That's this behavior,
- 11:23Speaker 10: and he was utilizing the university in this environment to
- 11:26Speaker 10: look for victims. And I think he probably would have
- 11:29Speaker 10: continued as well, you're going to have.
- 11:30Speaker 1: To tell me the tongue and the worm part again. What.
- 11:33Speaker 10: Yeah, snapping turtle will sit on the bottom of a
- 11:36Speaker 10: lake bed or on the bottom of a river bottom,
- 11:38Speaker 10: and they will sit there and they'll open their mouth
- 11:40Speaker 10: and their tongue looks like a worm. It'll come out
- 11:43Speaker 10: and just kind of sit in the water like this,
- 11:44Speaker 10: so if a fish comes by, they'll see it, they'll
- 11:47Speaker 10: strike at it, and when they do, the snapping turtle
- 11:50Speaker 10: clash down his jaws on them and there's your meal.
- 11:53Speaker 10: I've always felt like it was a reptile anyway, this
- 11:56Speaker 10: further confirms it to me as a professor.
- 11:58Speaker 1: I mean, there has to be rules that are followed.
- 12:03Speaker 2: I'm just thinking about what doctor Bethany is saying about
- 12:07Speaker 2: basically scaring the girls and making them cry and enjoying it.
- 12:13Speaker 2: And according to the Gonsolvaces, this was a pattern of behavior.
- 12:18Speaker 2: If they had kicked him out, as I think they
- 12:22Speaker 2: should have, he would have turned tail. You'd see nothing
- 12:26Speaker 2: but tailhole and elbows him are running home to mommy
- 12:30Speaker 2: and daddy. But no, he stayed and ended up murdering
- 12:35Speaker 2: the four students. And there's more. Listen to killing Gonsolvas's father.
- 12:41Speaker 1: React.
- 12:42Speaker 8: Guys should have been punched in the face. He was
- 12:44Speaker 8: a creep man. He's a disgusting creep the kind of guy.
- 12:47Speaker 8: We even heard about it from the Seven Sirens Bar
- 12:49Speaker 8: where those girls put a little note saying, hey, if
- 12:52Speaker 8: you get this credit card, watch out for this guy.
- 12:53Speaker 8: I mean, he's been doing this his whole life and
- 12:56Speaker 8: we didn't stand up to him. We need to start
- 12:58Speaker 8: standing up to these type of bully and death. No,
- 13:02Speaker 8: hopefully Idaho get it right. Hope, Hopefully the prisoner's in there,
- 13:05Speaker 8: they'll do the real justice.
- 13:06Speaker 10: They they'll have like real.
- 13:08Speaker 8: Men in there and they'll handle it the way that
- 13:10Speaker 8: he should be handled in the first place.
- 13:11Speaker 2: Are you surprised, doctor Bethany Marshall? He wasn't just terrorizing
- 13:15Speaker 2: the female students at school a lot of them thirteen
- 13:20Speaker 2: formal complaints that we know of. How many other complaints
- 13:24Speaker 2: were they that were there that were not formal, but
- 13:27Speaker 2: now we know it was discussed at bars and restaurants
- 13:32Speaker 2: where the female waitresses like, watch.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Out for this guy.
- 13:36Speaker 2: He is a creep state away from him, so he
- 13:39Speaker 2: couldn't contain himself.
- 13:41Speaker 5: It was compulsive, Nancy, and he could not stop himself. Again,
- 13:44Speaker 5: if we think of sex aggression, making women cry, dominating women,
- 13:51Speaker 5: threatening and intimidating them as all going hand in hand,
- 13:55Speaker 5: we could say, in a sense he was sexually compulsive,
- 13:58Speaker 5: that he was constantly instantly acting this out everywhere he went.
- 14:02Speaker 5: And Nancy, if the criminology professors told the school administration
- 14:09Speaker 5: that he was a danger. Why wouldn't they trust criminology professors.
- 14:14Speaker 5: I mean, these people are trained to spot sociopaths. And furthermore,
- 14:19Speaker 5: did you know that Brian Coberger's school office was in
- 14:23Speaker 5: the basement. It was it was isolated from other offices,
- 14:27Speaker 5: and because of that, students were afraid of him and
- 14:30Speaker 5: did not want to go in. So in a sense,
- 14:32Speaker 5: they served up the students like a tasty little snack
- 14:36Speaker 5: to him, which I think is just so so disgusting
- 14:39Speaker 5: and it's really disturbing.
- 14:42Speaker 3: The emergency of the emergency. What is the rest of
- 14:59Speaker 3: the address?
- 15:00Speaker 1: Oh roads okay?
- 15:03Speaker 3: And there's a house or an apartment.
- 15:06Speaker 1: It's a house.
- 15:07Speaker 3: Can you repeat theadress to make sure that I have
- 15:09Speaker 3: it right.
- 15:11Speaker 1: I'll talk to you guys.
- 15:12Speaker 11: We're we live a delights so we're next to them.
- 15:16Speaker 3: I need someone to repeat the adress for raification.
- 15:19Speaker 1: The address one one to two Kingdom.
- 15:23Speaker 10: So many stabs, it's unbelievable, And I've written in the
- 15:28Speaker 10: document I heard that.
- 15:30Speaker 1: You're gonna be okay, and you and I can call.
- 15:33Speaker 11: Your name to thee.
- 15:36Speaker 3: They saw some men in their house.
- 15:37Speaker 10: A route wised to each and every one of them.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Does it never end for the victims families? Well, short answer, no,
- 15:46Speaker 2: their suffering will never end. But now they have another
- 15:51Speaker 2: fight on their hands, trying to stop vile images of
- 15:56Speaker 2: their children in death being released.
- 16:01Speaker 1: Can you imagine. I remember writing.
- 16:04Speaker 2: My first book, Objection, and I learned about what I
- 16:08Speaker 2: call blood money, people trying to get crime scene photos.
- 16:12Speaker 2: I remember specifically people trying to get Nicole Brown OJ
- 16:17Speaker 2: Simpson's wife autopsy photos. Yes, so they could sell them.
- 16:25Speaker 1: That fight going on.
- 16:26Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that there are ghouls out there doing that.
- 16:30Speaker 2: The family fighting tooth and now tonight to try to
- 16:33Speaker 2: stop those images. But right now I want to tell
- 16:37Speaker 2: you about just obtained photos.
- 16:39Speaker 1: And we are not not here on crime stories.
- 16:43Speaker 2: We are not posting photos, bloody photos of these children,
- 16:49Speaker 2: these University idahost students.
- 16:52Speaker 1: That is not happening here.
- 16:55Speaker 2: I will show you weird photos of the killer, Brian
- 17:03Speaker 2: Coburger's Pullman apartment, very bleak apartment to.
- 17:09Speaker 1: Determine what, if anything, we can learn.
- 17:12Speaker 12: Listen, new evidence photos show the bleak interior of Coberger's
- 17:15Speaker 12: Pullman apartment and WSU office. Aside from graded papers, criminology
- 17:21Speaker 12: textbooks and a few birthday cards. Coburger's apartment is largely
- 17:25Speaker 12: devoid of any personal items.
- 17:27Speaker 5: Police marked a.
- 17:28Speaker 12: Black glove, Coburger's computer tower, a few receipts, and a
- 17:32Speaker 12: vacuum cleaner as evidence items, but found little of value
- 17:35Speaker 12: in the sparse apartment. Coberger's nearly empty home echoes his
- 17:39Speaker 12: thin social life. The admitted mass murderer had just eighteen
- 17:43Speaker 12: contacts saved in his cell phone and spoke to his
- 17:46Speaker 12: parents for hours at a time every single day.
- 17:49Speaker 1: Oh my stars.
- 17:52Speaker 2: Of course, Philip de Bay is going to join us
- 17:54Speaker 2: in just a moment to tell me how this doesn't
- 17:56Speaker 2: mean anything. But I guarantee you it would have meant
- 17:59Speaker 2: something to a jury. Did you see his bleak apartment,
- 18:04Speaker 2: Doctor Bethany Marshall, That means something.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Even his food in his freezer.
- 18:11Speaker 2: I remember a family was over, a friend of my
- 18:13Speaker 2: daughter's family was over and they're very oh my goodness, Okay, yeah, no,
- 18:19Speaker 2: that's not happening in our house. The family was over
- 18:22Speaker 2: and they were very strict on their diets and their
- 18:25Speaker 2: children's diets, and one of the children asked for, I
- 18:29Speaker 2: don't know, a juice box or something and I opened
- 18:32Speaker 2: up We're all standing in the kitchen. Of course, I
- 18:34Speaker 2: opened up our fridge and they literally physically react.
- 18:39Speaker 1: And they went because the fridge is.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Just crammed with leftovers and leftovers and blah. It's just
- 18:46Speaker 2: you have to dig in there. It's like an excavation
- 18:48Speaker 2: to find something.
- 18:50Speaker 1: Look at Coburger's.
- 18:51Speaker 2: I can hear Dubai in the background going, he wants
- 18:56Speaker 2: to jump in so badly. What does that mean, Bethany,
- 18:59Speaker 2: I mean, looking this fridge, there's nothing.
- 19:01Speaker 1: There's not even a piece of lint on the floor.
- 19:06Speaker 2: Oh is that an apple he's got in a zip
- 19:08Speaker 2: lock bag on the right. But you're not supposed to
- 19:11Speaker 2: put apples in the fridge, that said tofu. Yes, and
- 19:15Speaker 2: everything is hermetically sealed, and it looks like that fridge
- 19:20Speaker 2: was just cleaned out with some type of antibacterial spray.
- 19:24Speaker 1: Hit me, Bethany, well.
- 19:25Speaker 5: This, you know, the apples in the baggy are kind
- 19:28Speaker 5: of an OCD type thing, right, being afraid of germs.
- 19:31Speaker 5: I like what the commentator said about a thin emotional life.
- 19:35Speaker 5: When you think of the traits of the sociopath as
- 19:39Speaker 5: having very shallow emotions, their lives are not rich like ours.
- 19:44Speaker 5: They don't put photos around of family members, they don't
- 19:47Speaker 5: collect memories of the people around them. They're not comforted
- 19:51Speaker 5: by home. If you think of what we were talking
- 19:53Speaker 5: about earlier, about the fact that he has what we
- 19:56Speaker 5: call a perophilia, So a paraphilia is constant sexual arousal
- 20:01Speaker 5: at something that is not sexual in nature, so anything
- 20:05Speaker 5: other than sex paired with attraction towards non consenting adults.
- 20:11Speaker 5: This is something that preoccupies Coburger. That's all he has
- 20:15Speaker 5: room for. So it's not surprising to me when you
- 20:18Speaker 5: look at his apartment that there's no sign of emotional richness,
- 20:22Speaker 5: emotional life relationships, anything other than crime and the apples
- 20:28Speaker 5: in the baggie, which are both just very compulsive. His
- 20:32Speaker 5: whole life is organized around his compulsion. Nancy, I don't
- 20:36Speaker 5: know what you just said. You lost me at being
- 20:40Speaker 5: sexually aroused.
- 20:41Speaker 1: By an item not in nature, like, I don't know
- 20:44Speaker 1: what that.
- 20:44Speaker 5: Means, noet being a paraphilia is two things. It's being
- 20:49Speaker 5: aroused by anything that is not sexual in nature, meaning
- 20:55Speaker 5: it's and also being aroused by a non consenting adult.
- 21:01Speaker 5: That means that he would not be aroused by a
- 21:04Speaker 5: woman who loves him or wants to be with him,
- 21:08Speaker 5: he would he would only be aroused by a woman
- 21:11Speaker 5: who's non consenting and doesn't want to be with him.
- 21:15Speaker 5: In other words, he can't gain sexual excitement by anything
- 21:19Speaker 5: other than being around people who really are not connected
- 21:24Speaker 5: to him in any way. That's what we call a perversion.
- 21:27Speaker 5: You cannot be excited by a full connection with another
- 21:31Speaker 5: human being who loves you back. So it creates kind
- 21:35Speaker 5: of a shallow perspective in life, and the apartment seems shallow,
- 21:40Speaker 5: like it's just there's no life there.
- 21:48Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace joining me now.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Special guest Chris McDonough, director cole CA's Foundation, former homicide
- 22:01Speaker 2: detective with over three hundred Oh yes, speaking of OCD,
- 22:05Speaker 2: check this out. Shoes lined up. He's staring up at
- 22:08Speaker 2: the shelf to make sure. Oh, he's cleaning the creases
- 22:12Speaker 2: in his shoe from.
- 22:13Speaker 1: What all that mud? No, from nothing.
- 22:16Speaker 2: Chris McDonough director, Cold Case Foundation, homicide detective, over three
- 22:20Speaker 2: hundred homicides under his belt. I found him on the
- 22:25Speaker 2: Interview Room on YouTube. That's his show, Chris. When you
- 22:31Speaker 2: look at this apartment, what I'm saying is overarching theory here.
- 22:36Speaker 2: There were red flags, fiery red flags being.
- 22:42Speaker 1: Waved in front of everybody's face. Okay, nobody got it.
- 22:46Speaker 2: Nobody did anything, and including Washington State University. I'm calling
- 22:50Speaker 2: you out, people, But are you surprised that there were
- 22:57Speaker 2: no blood drops in his home? They got that vacuum cleaner,
- 23:00Speaker 2: you know, to do what to see if there was
- 23:03Speaker 2: any trace of the victim's hair, any fibers, even dog
- 23:07Speaker 2: fibers from Murphy the dog, dog hair, from anything they
- 23:11Speaker 2: could find.
- 23:12Speaker 1: That's not gonna happen.
- 23:13Speaker 2: What do you see, you're the trained homicide detective. When
- 23:18Speaker 2: you look at his free key clean apartment, it gives
- 23:21Speaker 2: me the scheme just looking at.
- 23:23Speaker 9: It, You know, Nancy, what jumps out at me is
- 23:26Speaker 9: the duality of his personality. If we look at the
- 23:30Speaker 9: room as a whole, you can tell there's that OCD
- 23:34Speaker 9: you know, part of his personality. But then you go
- 23:37Speaker 9: into his closet, look inside of his closet to the
- 23:40Speaker 9: left side that is completely disheveled, all of the receipts
- 23:45Speaker 9: there you go, All of that tells us a whole
- 23:48Speaker 9: other side of his personality. This tells us what the
- 23:53Speaker 9: girls were seeing. This is the hidden side. Of his life,
- 23:56Speaker 9: the secret life, as we call it. These are the
- 24:00Speaker 9: complaints that we're seeing here, not physically, but this is
- 24:04Speaker 9: his personality. It's all about control in the public persona
- 24:10Speaker 9: and then behind the scenes it's about violence. If you
- 24:13Speaker 9: look at the book, there's one book there the Ivory Tower,
- 24:16Speaker 9: on the floor in it that was found inside of
- 24:20Speaker 9: his chester of other items there that is about sexual
- 24:25Speaker 9: assault of college students. It's called Unsafe in the Ivory Tower.
- 24:32Speaker 9: If we look closely at that book all right there
- 24:35Speaker 9: to the far right, in the bottom right corner, that
- 24:37Speaker 9: book is about sexual assault about college students. Now go
- 24:42Speaker 9: do the math, right.
- 24:43Speaker 2: I'm doing it right now. I'm making a note of
- 24:45Speaker 2: everything you say. You know what's really interesting, Chris mcdunna.
- 24:48Speaker 2: And this isn't aside. This is how you prepare for trial.
- 24:53Speaker 2: You get with somebody. I try to get with somebody
- 24:57Speaker 2: that knows more than I do so you can hear
- 25:01Speaker 2: their ideas. See, I've looked at those books. I've looked
- 25:04Speaker 2: at the titles. But you point out a book about
- 25:08Speaker 2: sex assault in the Unsafe in the Ivory Tower, how
- 25:13Speaker 2: female coeds are sex assaulted. It's not just a coincidence.
- 25:18Speaker 2: There is no coincidence in criminal law. These are all
- 25:23Speaker 2: tutorials for Brian Koberger, but nobody put together the puzzle pieces,
- 25:30Speaker 2: and now four students are dead. You know, Joe Scott Morgan,
- 25:35Speaker 2: Professor Forensics and a forensic expert. Joe Scott, You've been
- 25:42Speaker 2: to a million scenes and I can't explain why, but
- 25:46Speaker 2: when I would go to a crime scene, I would
- 25:49Speaker 2: want to just sit down and have everybody get out
- 25:53Speaker 2: of the room so I could just sit there.
- 25:56Speaker 1: And I don't know what I was.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Looking for, but I needed it to be quiet so
- 26:02Speaker 2: I could just look and see what I could see.
- 26:05Speaker 1: And learn what I could learn, and.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Feel what I could feel in a crime saint like
- 26:11Speaker 2: Coburger's bleak apartment. And what about that computer screen, Joe
- 26:16Speaker 2: Scott remember how he quote helped his colleague. Helped his
- 26:21Speaker 2: colleague put in her Wi Fi security cams so he
- 26:26Speaker 2: could have access and watch her walk around her apartment
- 26:31Speaker 2: naked or half naked, or just sitting there watching TV
- 26:34Speaker 2: or making out with their boyfriend.
- 26:35Speaker 1: I don't know what he was watching.
- 26:37Speaker 2: Can you imagine the hours he's spent on that computer.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Just look at the chair, look at the stark position.
- 26:47Speaker 2: You know, I'm not a shrink, but this is telling
- 26:50Speaker 2: me something. And look at the bed one pillow. I
- 26:54Speaker 2: guarantee you he makes the bed up and at night
- 26:59Speaker 2: just get it said on his side and leaves the
- 27:01Speaker 2: rest made up and sleeps on the one little area.
- 27:05Speaker 2: See how one side is a little messed up and
- 27:09Speaker 2: the other side isn't He just like sleeps in one
- 27:13Speaker 2: spot by his computer. I mean, there's no way that
- 27:17Speaker 2: anyone would have known all this, but we're learning all
- 27:20Speaker 2: this in retrospect. Washington State knew a lot, but we're
- 27:26Speaker 2: learning a lot, and none.
- 27:28Speaker 1: Of it's good. Joe Scott, No it's not.
- 27:30Speaker 10: And listen, yeah, I can't imagine. I don't want to
- 27:33Speaker 10: imagine what he was viewing on that computer, particularly when
- 27:36Speaker 10: you think about this observable, you know, kind of track
- 27:42Speaker 10: that he was on where he goes into this woman's
- 27:44Speaker 10: apartment and tells her that he's going to assist her
- 27:47Speaker 10: with her security system. Lord only knows where that went.
- 27:52Speaker 10: And sitting around you know, to me, Nancy, this this
- 27:56Speaker 10: speaks to me as this guy is mission oriented and
- 28:01Speaker 10: his mission is to reak total and complete havoc. You're
- 28:06Speaker 10: showing the text here I'm wondering where his forensics text
- 28:09Speaker 10: are as well, you know, because for so long people
- 28:12Speaker 10: had kind of pushed out this idea that he is this,
- 28:15Speaker 10: and you know, I took great exception of this that
- 28:18Speaker 10: because he's studying criminology, that he's a forensics expert and
- 28:22Speaker 10: those two things. You can't conflate those two things. But
- 28:26Speaker 10: I would assume that he had texts relative to that
- 28:29Speaker 10: as well to help him kind of work through this
- 28:31Speaker 10: idea that I'm going to be this master criminal. He's
- 28:34Speaker 10: not trying to edify himself by studying these texts in
- 28:37Speaker 10: any way. He's using this. He's using this as a
- 28:41Speaker 10: means in order to understand what he needs to do
- 28:44Speaker 10: in order to get to certain points along this journey
- 28:48Speaker 10: of horror that he's on.
- 28:51Speaker 11: For me.
- 28:52Speaker 10: For me personally, one of the things that I would
- 28:55Speaker 10: really like to try to understand is not only what
- 28:58Speaker 10: happened in Pullman, Washington. I hope, I true hope with
- 29:03Speaker 10: everything in my being, that they're going back to the
- 29:05Speaker 10: sales Nancy, that they're taking a long look at everything
- 29:09Speaker 10: that he got involved in in Pennsylvania and see if
- 29:12Speaker 10: there is anything else out there that is very disturbing
- 29:17Speaker 10: where he was interacting with people. I want to know
- 29:20Speaker 10: if there's any cold cases around that proximity, because this
- 29:23Speaker 10: is something he's been thinking about for a while. And
- 29:27Speaker 10: to start off, well, yeah, four homicide, four homicides. I
- 29:32Speaker 10: just think that there's.
- 29:33Speaker 2: He went from zero to one twenty mph overnight. Hey,
- 29:37Speaker 2: Cidy sign er, Joe Scott just says something that jogged
- 29:40Speaker 2: my memory. He says to Coburger, says to his female coworker,
- 29:48Speaker 2: let me help you.
- 29:49Speaker 1: I'm going to help you set up your WiFi.
- 29:53Speaker 2: So he could watch her naked or half naked or
- 29:58Speaker 2: cooking or whatever she's doing in her place.
- 30:01Speaker 1: Same words and echo.
- 30:04Speaker 2: I'm gonna help you. That's what he said to the
- 30:08Speaker 2: murder victim before he butchered her. Another thing that you
- 30:14Speaker 2: said earlier, Sidney Center, Sydney Summer Crime Stories.
- 30:17Speaker 1: Investigative reporter joining us that he had a thin social.
- 30:24Speaker 2: Life, as evidenced by his devices, explain.
- 30:29Speaker 11: Well, we've learned that Brian Koberger only had eighteen contacts
- 30:35Speaker 11: saved in his phone. I cannot imagine by the twenty
- 30:40Speaker 11: seven year old when this first started, only having eighteen
- 30:44Speaker 11: people saved in your phone and most of those contacts
- 30:48Speaker 11: didn't even have names associated with them. That's what I
- 30:51Speaker 11: found even more odd about this that oh girl, I
- 30:55Speaker 11: went jogging with another girl, I went jogging with red hair.
- 31:00Speaker 11: So the eighteen contacts that he does have saved in
- 31:03Speaker 11: his phone, many of those are extremely impersonal, somebody who
- 31:07Speaker 11: maybe met once or twice. So it just goes to
- 31:11Speaker 11: show that he was very socially in it and speaking
- 31:14Speaker 11: on the phone for hours with his parents every single day.
- 31:18Speaker 11: There's evidence that he would call them and talk to
- 31:21Speaker 11: them until he fell asleep every single day, and that
- 31:26Speaker 11: is just again extremely odd for a twenty seven year
- 31:30Speaker 11: old in a PhD program.
- 31:32Speaker 2: DoD to Mathony Marshall, I named his shrink and I
- 31:34Speaker 2: named one fast hit me well.
- 31:35Speaker 5: The fact that he didn't have their real names in
- 31:38Speaker 5: the phone suggests that he was already trying to depersonalize
- 31:42Speaker 5: potential victims, right, I said earlier, sexual attraction only to
- 31:47Speaker 5: non consenting adults. If they become real, then he has
- 31:50Speaker 5: to relate to them. He just wants to have power
- 31:52Speaker 5: over people, and aggression is such a core part of
- 31:56Speaker 5: that personality. I bet he talked to his parents for
- 32:00Speaker 5: hours because that was the only place he could even
- 32:03Speaker 5: feel a semblance of an attachment, right, he probably didn't
- 32:07Speaker 5: feel attached to anybody.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Contort thing doctor Bethany to keep the phone open and
- 32:12Speaker 2: talk to your mom until you fall asleep. It's like
- 32:15Speaker 2: it's or holding onto you.
- 32:17Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, having your little binkie in your mouth exactly.
- 32:20Speaker 5: And that computer in his room, I just can't stop
- 32:24Speaker 5: looking at it and wondering what else is in there?
- 32:27Speaker 5: Are there other pictures he took of non consenting adults
- 32:31Speaker 5: in public? Like was he going into bathrooms and putting
- 32:35Speaker 5: the you know, the mirror and the camera into the
- 32:37Speaker 5: stall or you know, I would be surprised if this
- 32:41Speaker 5: perverse activity was just isolated to the one professor and
- 32:46Speaker 5: to the students and to the people in the bars
- 32:49Speaker 5: and restaurants. He had to have been doing it everywhere.
- 32:53Speaker 1: That's a scary thought.
- 32:54Speaker 2: I wonder if bathrooms at these restaurants and where he
- 32:58Speaker 2: worked had been checked for you know, like the tiny
- 33:02Speaker 2: cameras they need to check.
- 33:05Speaker 1: I don't know if they've thought of that yet.
- 33:06Speaker 2: Okay, joining me now, veterans trial lawyer Philip Dubay joining
- 33:12Speaker 2: us the LA jurisdiction. Okay, Dubai, I guess now you're
- 33:16Speaker 2: going to tell me that none of this amounts to
- 33:19Speaker 2: a hill of beans.
- 33:20Speaker 5: Right, not even close.
- 33:21Speaker 13: I mean, are you going to say that because he's
- 33:24Speaker 13: living in an austere apartment as a starving student, basically
- 33:29Speaker 13: not having a pot or a window is a foreshadow
- 33:32Speaker 13: of a quadruple homicide? I mean, I look back at
- 33:35Speaker 13: my own college days and those days we had a
- 33:38Speaker 13: beanbag chair and a lawn chair in our living room. Seriously,
- 33:42Speaker 13: and to suggest it because he has a quote unquote
- 33:44Speaker 13: bag of apples, that it's a sign of lowliness or
- 33:47Speaker 13: a sign of sexual fatigue or some other type of psych.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Said at all what we said, Dubai.
- 33:54Speaker 2: Look, you can do your legal analysis, your defense related
- 34:00Speaker 2: analysis through your your lens.
- 34:03Speaker 1: But at least get it straight.
- 34:05Speaker 2: We were talking about the sparsity of items in his
- 34:09Speaker 2: fridge and the way that things were organized neatly, and
- 34:13Speaker 2: the austerity of his apartment and the lack of any
- 34:18Speaker 2: connection to anybody another human. Did you see his mom
- 34:23Speaker 2: and dad in a frame photo by his bed, or
- 34:26Speaker 2: a lot of pieces of paper and memories and ticket
- 34:29Speaker 2: stubs and photos stuck to his wall with Scotch tape.
- 34:32Speaker 1: Uh huh? No, No, he's like a robot.
- 34:36Speaker 2: He's a machine, a killing machine, and it means something,
- 34:40Speaker 2: whether you want to admit it or not, it means something.
- 34:43Speaker 13: The guy's on the spectrum, don't you remember he has
- 34:46Speaker 13: as birds. You know what that is. It's a social
- 34:49Speaker 13: awkward news. He doesn't know how to relate to other people.
- 34:52Speaker 13: He's alienated himself. Nobody wants to be around the guy,
- 34:56Speaker 13: let alone give them their telephone number and address to
- 34:59Speaker 13: be it as a contact to his phone. That is
- 35:03Speaker 13: one of the symptoms of aspergers. They don't have a
- 35:06Speaker 13: social network or people in their orbit. So if you
- 35:09Speaker 13: were to look at it from afar, yeah, compared to
- 35:12Speaker 13: other healthy, able, working, assiduous college students, he stands out.
- 35:18Speaker 13: But to suggest that this is all a symptom or
- 35:21Speaker 13: a foreshadow of a quadruple homicide, that is psychobabble.
- 35:26Speaker 6: The families of Madison Mogan and Ethan Chapin are suing
- 35:29Speaker 6: Moscow over the release of hundreds of crime scene photos
- 35:32Speaker 6: and video of the first response to eleven twenty two
- 35:35Speaker 6: King Road. Their attorney claims many of the photos constitute
- 35:38Speaker 6: an unwarned invasion of privacy. Leander James says blurring on
- 35:42Speaker 6: the images isn't effective and blood is still visible on
- 35:45Speaker 6: floors and walls, and footage sounds of sobbing friends and
- 35:48Speaker 6: roommates are incredibly traumatizing for the families. James argues the
- 35:52Speaker 6: crime has been extremely sensationalized and harrowing images have now
- 35:56Speaker 6: been plastered across the Internet, news channels and social media,
- 36:00Speaker 6: often for economic game.
- 36:01Speaker 2: Straight out to Susan Hendrix joining US investigative journalist on
- 36:05Speaker 2: the case. Okay, so now the family that's still dealing
- 36:10Speaker 2: with the murder, the brutal murder of their children, are
- 36:15Speaker 2: having to take on a fight.
- 36:16Speaker 1: So these vile photos are not released. Why would they
- 36:22Speaker 1: be released?
- 36:23Speaker 2: I mean somebody files a for you request freedom of information.
- 36:27Speaker 1: I so what exactly.
- 36:29Speaker 7: Stacy Chapin, Ethan Chapin's mom and also Matty Mugen's family
- 36:34Speaker 7: filed this and said it opens a wound. This is
- 36:37Speaker 7: what Stacy said. That's not healed yet. In Dell fin Nancy,
- 36:41Speaker 7: they were sealed. Sadly, there was a leak of the
- 36:43Speaker 7: crime scene photos early on, but the autopsy sealed decision
- 36:47Speaker 7: made by Judge Frank goul and I think it should
- 36:49Speaker 7: be made here. But there was a hearing on this,
- 36:52Speaker 7: and the judge said that you will make a decision
- 36:55Speaker 7: down the road.
- 36:56Speaker 5: So I hope. So, I mean, why do we have.
- 36:58Speaker 1: To see that exactly?
- 36:59Speaker 2: I mean, I I get it that when a case
- 37:02Speaker 2: you're seeing some of the photos that have been released.
- 37:05Speaker 1: We are not showing bloody photos.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Of the victim's blood in the crime scene the home
- 37:14Speaker 2: on King Road. The families have been through enough, not
- 37:19Speaker 2: only that, not only that, now witnesses are being threatened,
- 37:28Speaker 2: death threatened.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Listen, Judge Hipler.
- 37:31Speaker 6: Weighing redaction, attorneys say witnesses name should remain private, as
- 37:35Speaker 6: witnesses have been threatened and stocked, hiring private security and
- 37:38Speaker 6: relocating from their homes. In particular, attorneys believe Coberger's alternate
- 37:43Speaker 6: perpetrators should be kept from the public. Hitpler asked for
- 37:46Speaker 6: the information on each intended redaction, including their roles in
- 37:50Speaker 6: the case and whether they have already been identified in
- 37:52Speaker 6: the media.
- 37:53Speaker 2: Okay, Sidney Sumner, Crime Story's investigative reporter, also on the
- 37:58Speaker 2: Coburger case, I take it that the well, there have
- 38:03Speaker 2: been a lot of threats on witnesses, but the witnesses
- 38:07Speaker 2: that are getting the most serious threats are the ones
- 38:09Speaker 2: that defense wanted to use as some other dude did
- 38:14Speaker 2: it scapegoat and they knew all along it wasn't true.
- 38:19Speaker 11: That is correct. That is those are the witnesses that
- 38:23Speaker 11: attorneys on both sides are most concerned about getting any
- 38:27Speaker 11: kind of threat or having safety concerns with their names
- 38:32Speaker 11: being made public. And the defense at this point has
- 38:36Speaker 11: admitted that those people were never involved in this crime
- 38:39Speaker 11: and this was simply a defense. They were trying to
- 38:42Speaker 11: point the finger elsewhere to say it was not Brian
- 38:46Speaker 11: Coburger that committed this crime. So that has been disproven.
- 38:50Speaker 11: But we know how many people support Brian Coberger. We
- 38:54Speaker 11: saw the Reddit threads, we saw the Facebook groups trying
- 38:58Speaker 11: to prove Brian coburgers in a sense, So they want
- 39:01Speaker 11: to protect those people that were named in this alternate
- 39:04Speaker 11: perpetrator theory and make sure their names are not linked
- 39:07Speaker 11: to the public so no one can do anything to
- 39:11Speaker 11: put those men in harsh way.
- 39:20Speaker 2: Crime stories with Nancy Grace, doctor Bethanie Marshall, the victims'
- 39:28Speaker 2: families call them the quote proburgers that are still going online.
- 39:35Speaker 2: I said every time I dare to look at social
- 39:37Speaker 2: media that he was framed they're actually death threatening witnesses,
- 39:43Speaker 2: especially threats going.
- 39:45Speaker 1: To some other dude did it scapegoat?
- 39:49Speaker 2: The defense came up with, knowing full well Coburger committed
- 39:52Speaker 2: the murderers. They were going to blame somebody else in
- 39:54Speaker 2: open court and it leaked out and now the scapegoats
- 39:59Speaker 2: are getting threat What is Nancy these people?
- 40:02Speaker 9: Do?
- 40:02Speaker 1: You know?
- 40:02Speaker 5: Three to five percent of the general population has the
- 40:05Speaker 5: same personality disorder that Coburger has, so it's not surprising
- 40:10Speaker 5: to me that he has this huge following. Coburger probably
- 40:14Speaker 5: did what his minions or followers wish they could have
- 40:18Speaker 5: done themselves. They just don't have the courage to do it, Nancy,
- 40:22Speaker 5: So he's their king. They are pro Burger, and they
- 40:26Speaker 5: probably are harassing anybody who they feel is going to
- 40:30Speaker 5: bring the king down. That's just what's happening here.
- 40:33Speaker 2: And Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, I can't stress enough the
- 40:41Speaker 2: brutality of the crime scene photos. They're worse than any
- 40:47Speaker 2: so called slice and dice video you've ever seen, except
- 40:52Speaker 2: they're real. And to re victimize these victims and you
- 41:00Speaker 2: a horrible death that night and their families, I mean,
- 41:04Speaker 2: I can't convey the nature of these photos, Jo Scott.
- 41:09Speaker 10: It's very difficult to do that. Nancy, reflect back, just
- 41:12Speaker 10: for a moment. Do you remember being in pre trial
- 41:16Speaker 10: as a prosecutor and when we still had the old
- 41:20Speaker 10: format images and they would be spread out all over
- 41:23Speaker 10: the table, and you're trying to decide what you're going
- 41:26Speaker 10: to use in order to describe what happened, all right,
- 41:30Speaker 10: and some of these images in our circumstances, you and
- 41:34Speaker 10: I over those years ago, you think, do I really
- 41:37Speaker 10: need to show this to the jury to get the
- 41:39Speaker 10: point across because we would have to use our discernment
- 41:43Speaker 10: in order to do that. Because some of these things
- 41:45Speaker 10: are so over the top, Nancy, I can't express this
- 41:49Speaker 10: enough to the viewing public. Why do you need to
- 41:53Speaker 10: see them outside of court? The thing has been adjudicated
- 41:56Speaker 10: at this point in time. There is no value in this.
- 41:59Speaker 10: No one is edified by this at all. And families
- 42:02Speaker 10: are being destroyed, they're being traumatized, they're having to live
- 42:06Speaker 10: through this over and over and over again. People don't understand.
- 42:10Speaker 10: You know, you could just be one of these parents
- 42:12Speaker 10: and you could be in a store and someone would
- 42:14Speaker 10: have seen this on the internet and they'll say, I
- 42:17Speaker 10: can't believe what happened to your child. I actually saw
- 42:20Speaker 10: the image. Just let that sink in.
- 42:22Speaker 9: Just check.
- 42:23Speaker 1: I can tell you one thing, Joe Scott.
- 42:24Speaker 2: Before I would introduce brutal photos like this, I would
- 42:28Speaker 2: absolutely clear the courtroom and warn the victims' families.
- 42:33Speaker 6: Brian Cobert wasn't always skinny, as surviving roommate Dylan Mortenson
- 42:37Speaker 6: said in her description of the mass perp. Golberger was
- 42:39Speaker 6: quite plumped before losing one hundred and thirty pounds just
- 42:42Speaker 6: in time for his sixteenth birthday. Goberger bragged about the
- 42:45Speaker 6: weight laws and a job application, claiming his dedication to
- 42:48Speaker 6: running and boxing qualified him for the part time security
- 42:51Speaker 6: job at a school in his hometown's Pleasant Valley district.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Again, Doctor Bethany Marshall, I don't know what it means,
- 42:57Speaker 2: but it means something. Brian Cober obese then goes on
- 43:03Speaker 2: a crash diet. A crash oh my goodness, yes, okay,
- 43:07Speaker 2: a crash diet. It means something.
- 43:13Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 43:14Speaker 2: If it was to lure women, what does it mean?
- 43:19Speaker 2: The body image? How does that factor into this?
- 43:23Speaker 1: Well?
- 43:24Speaker 5: Antisocial personality disorder, which is used interchangeably with sociopathy and psychopathy.
- 43:30Speaker 5: It causes impulsivity and disregulation, meaning that people cannot control
- 43:36Speaker 5: all of their emotions overwhelm them. So somebody who's disregulated
- 43:40Speaker 5: and impulsive is just going to eat anything that's not
- 43:43Speaker 5: nailed down. Okay, So he probably had to go into
- 43:47Speaker 5: this total starvation mode, vegan vegetarian mode to get the
- 43:51Speaker 5: weight off so he could predate on women. I mean,
- 43:54Speaker 5: you're right, he had to look great to lure women.
- 43:58Speaker 5: And what was this one of his first It was
- 44:00Speaker 5: as a security guard, a position of power. He was
- 44:04Speaker 5: already graduating to the next thing, which would be working
- 44:08Speaker 5: in an academic environment where he would have access to
- 44:11Speaker 5: women and could study criminology. So it had a dual purpose,
- 44:16Speaker 5: access to women and at the same time he was
- 44:19Speaker 5: learning and preparing for the upcoming crime.
- 44:22Speaker 2: You know, Chris McDonough, I'm thinking through all of these
- 44:27Speaker 2: red flags, the bleak apartment, the lack of contacts, the
- 44:35Speaker 2: objectification of women he would put as a contact red hair.
- 44:42Speaker 1: I'm trying to take it all in.
- 44:44Speaker 2: But one of the most disturbing is that Washington State University.
- 44:49Speaker 1: Knew they knew there was a big.
- 44:51Speaker 2: Problem when they heard about the Mersey's Coburger.
- 44:56Speaker 1: They knew, but they let him stay.
- 44:59Speaker 2: If they had fired him long before, maybe these murders
- 45:03Speaker 2: would not have happened.
- 45:05Speaker 9: Yeah, that's a great point, Nancy. I mean, what did
- 45:08Speaker 9: they know, right did they? They obviously had a PhD
- 45:11Speaker 9: file hire and deeper on complaints about Brian Coberger. And
- 45:16Speaker 9: also if we look back into his apartment for a minute,
- 45:20Speaker 9: you know, and this is his office here. You know,
- 45:23Speaker 9: it's just such a bleak personality. But look at the
- 45:26Speaker 9: Look at the birthday card to the left. It's Teddy
- 45:29Speaker 9: Roosevelt on a Torontosaurus Rex. And there's a comment on
- 45:34Speaker 9: that that says, this is basically your person your egos
- 45:38Speaker 9: and your personality. You know, carry a big stick. But
- 45:42Speaker 9: make sure you know you eat them. I eat right there,
- 45:45Speaker 9: both of your egos. This is a whole whole other
- 45:50Speaker 9: lane for for doc to tell us about. But this
- 45:54Speaker 9: really is Brian Coberger, and other people saw it, and
- 45:59Speaker 9: WSU most definitely saw it.
- 46:01Speaker 2: Okay, DEBEI, what do you make of the Freedom of
- 46:04Speaker 2: Information Act to release these brutal photos, the judges taking
- 46:09Speaker 2: it under advisement. I don't say there's any way that
- 46:13Speaker 2: you can redact out all of that gore.
- 46:17Speaker 13: No, And first of all, I don't even know who
- 46:19Speaker 13: would want it. I mean seriously, I mean what type
- 46:21Speaker 13: of carnography would the petitioner be into?
- 46:25Speaker 1: The freaks?
- 46:26Speaker 9: Yeah, gore core is what I call it.
- 46:28Speaker 13: But make no mistake about it that just because somebody
- 46:31Speaker 13: files a petition to make these photos public doesn't mean
- 46:35Speaker 13: the court's just going to grant that petition. It's subject
- 46:38Speaker 13: to a balancing test where court has to balance the
- 46:43Speaker 13: public interest in disclosure against the privacy interests of the
- 46:48Speaker 13: next of ken.
- 46:49Speaker 9: And if you have a situation.
- 46:52Speaker 13: Where you can prevent trauma, preserve dignity, and prevent further
- 46:56Speaker 13: distribution of this type of carnage, of court can deny it.
- 47:01Speaker 13: There's no automatic right to this material. And frankly, I
- 47:05Speaker 13: could see somebody who's into this type of imagery further
- 47:09Speaker 13: disseminating it on the black market somewhere, maybe to share
- 47:13Speaker 13: in this type of gorecore, or to even propit from it.
- 47:16Speaker 13: Who in their right mind would even want this?
- 47:18Speaker 2: Yeah, blood money, blood money, debey, you ask who is it?
- 47:23Speaker 1: Probably nobody that you associate with.
- 47:25Speaker 2: It's uh, probably the same people that wanted Nicole Brown's
- 47:29Speaker 2: autopsy photos. Them, those people, and they do make money
- 47:35Speaker 2: off of it.
- 47:36Speaker 1: You know what, for once, debate for once.
- 47:39Speaker 2: I pray that you are right and the two judges
- 47:43Speaker 2: involved in this matter will hear your voice tonight, debate
- 47:48Speaker 2: as we all join the victims families and ask the
- 47:52Speaker 2: judges please do not release these photos, these images, this
- 47:59Speaker 2: audio where you can hear crying and see what happened
- 48:06Speaker 2: to the victims. Please don't do this to their families.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Don't say the law compels. The law does not compel.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Doby was right. You are responsible for the release of
- 48:19Speaker 2: these photos. Judge, It's on you. As we wait for
- 48:25Speaker 2: justice two unfold, we remember an American hero Officer Darren
- 48:30Speaker 2: Burke's Dallas PD survived by his grieving mother, Sheri. American
- 48:39Speaker 2: hero officer Darren Burke's rest in peace officer Nancy Grace
- 48:47Speaker 2: signing off goodbye friend,
