Latest / The Vault: The Epstein Files / Mega Edition: The Murders In Moscow And The Similarities Shared With Other Murders (8/19/26)
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. Ever since
- 0:04Speaker 1: we've heard about what happened in Moscow and we got
- 0:08Speaker 1: some of the details about what went down, one of
- 0:11Speaker 1: the main questions that's been asked is, how in the
- 0:14Speaker 1: hell did the other roommates not hear what went on,
- 0:17Speaker 1: or if they did hear what went on, why didn't
- 0:19Speaker 1: they call nine to one one. Well, we have an
- 0:22Speaker 1: article today from The Independent, and we're hearing from another
- 0:26Speaker 1: woman who had a similar experience, who's discussing what she
- 0:30Speaker 1: went through to kind of give some perspective about what
- 0:33Speaker 1: the surviving roommates might have went through that night and
- 0:37Speaker 1: what they're going to go through in the future. So
- 0:40Speaker 1: let's dive into this article from the Independent and let's
- 0:44Speaker 1: see if we can get a little more context here. Headline,
- 0:48Speaker 1: she slept through an attack that nearly killed her roommate.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Now she's defending a stranger in the Idaho murders. This
- 0:55Speaker 1: article was authored by Rachel Sharp. When Alta Zabel first
- 1:02Speaker 1: heard the four young students had been viciously murdered in
- 1:05Speaker 1: their rental home after a night out, she didn't want
- 1:07Speaker 1: to think about it. When she then heard that one
- 1:11Speaker 1: of the surviving roommates was coming under attack for how
- 1:14Speaker 1: she handled the unimaginable experience. She realized she had to
- 1:18Speaker 1: speak out. I can understand every aspect of what she
- 1:23Speaker 1: went through being nineteen years old having fun. You don't
- 1:26Speaker 1: know any reality where a man breaks into your house
- 1:29Speaker 1: and attacks your friends, she tells The Independent, And that
- 1:32Speaker 1: makes sense to me. Look, you don't expect something like
- 1:36Speaker 1: this to go down, especially at nineteen years old in
- 1:39Speaker 1: a place like Moscow. But still that really doesn't explain
- 1:44Speaker 1: away why nine to one one wasn't called for eight hours, right,
- 1:49Speaker 1: And for me, there's got to be an explanation at
- 1:52Speaker 1: some point that we're going to get, and it's going
- 1:55Speaker 1: to be one that has to do with shock probably.
- 1:58Speaker 1: But until we get that explain from an official source,
- 2:02Speaker 1: people are going to have questions. I get it. I
- 2:07Speaker 1: get it when people say why didn't she call nine
- 2:09Speaker 1: to one one? But those people are just used to
- 2:12Speaker 1: watching these things happen in movies. This is a very
- 2:15Speaker 1: unique and traumatic experience. So until you've been in a
- 2:18Speaker 1: traumatic experience, it's, you know, very easy to say what
- 2:22Speaker 1: I would or wouldn't do, But until you're there and
- 2:25Speaker 1: it's your feet on the ground, and it's a situation
- 2:28Speaker 1: you're living through. We just don't know what we would
- 2:31Speaker 1: or wouldn't do, and we have to be honest when
- 2:33Speaker 1: we say that. Three decades before, University of Idaho's students
- 2:39Speaker 1: Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were
- 2:44Speaker 1: attacked in an off campus home in Moscow, Miss Zabel's
- 2:47Speaker 1: college home in Buffalo, New York was broken into by
- 2:50Speaker 1: a man who raped and violently attacked her roommate with
- 2:53Speaker 1: a hammer, leaving her for dead. It was nineteen ninety
- 2:57Speaker 1: two and Miss Zabel, now fifty, was living in a
- 3:01Speaker 1: three story home with five other chi Omega sorority sisters
- 3:06Speaker 1: at the University of Buffalo. One night in September, in
- 3:10Speaker 1: the excitement of the fall semester, the roommates had gone
- 3:13Speaker 1: to a party at the Sigma Kai fraternity nearby. The
- 3:17Speaker 1: victim was the first to head home in the early
- 3:20Speaker 1: hours of the morning. When Miss Zabel arrived home some
- 3:23Speaker 1: time later, the door was locked and she couldn't get
- 3:25Speaker 1: a hold of her roommate to let her into the house.
- 3:29Speaker 1: In typically comic student fashion, she clambered carefree through the
- 3:33Speaker 1: bathroom window. Once inside, she noticed it smelled weird. She
- 3:37Speaker 1: called out to her roommate, but after hearing heavy breathing
- 3:41Speaker 1: coming from her bedroom, she left her alone, simply assuming
- 3:44Speaker 1: that her roommate and roommate's boyfriend were inside. And here's
- 3:49Speaker 1: the key for me, right here, the statement coming up.
- 3:51Speaker 1: I was drunk and didn't understand why it smelled weird,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and I just kind of crashed in my room, she says.
- 3:56Speaker 1: And look, I don't know what the roommates were up to,
- 3:59Speaker 1: the surviving roommates, if they were on any kind of
- 4:02Speaker 1: drugs or anything like that. But if you've ever been
- 4:05Speaker 1: on hallucinogenics, then you know that sometimes you're taking a
- 4:10Speaker 1: look at things and you don't know if shit's real
- 4:11Speaker 1: or not. So I'm not sure as far as if
- 4:14Speaker 1: they were on any drugs or anything like that, but
- 4:16Speaker 1: if they were, never mind being drunk. If you ate
- 4:19Speaker 1: a couple of caps a few stems before you know it,
- 4:22Speaker 1: you have no idea what's real and what's not. And again, look,
- 4:26Speaker 1: I'm not saying that that's what happened. I do not know,
- 4:29Speaker 1: but it certainly would explain why this phone call wasn't
- 4:32Speaker 1: made for all of these hours in the aftermath of
- 4:35Speaker 1: the murders, it was beyond all comprehension that her friend
- 4:39Speaker 1: was being brutally attacked at that very moment. Her friend
- 4:43Speaker 1: thankfully survived the attack, but only just, with doctors saying
- 4:47Speaker 1: she was minutes from death. She spent months in a
- 4:49Speaker 1: coma and her recovery was long. Four years later, a
- 4:54Speaker 1: serial rapist whose name is Abel does not want to
- 4:57Speaker 1: repeat to protect her former housemate, was convicted of rape
- 5:01Speaker 1: and attempted murder. And that person who was convicted of
- 5:05Speaker 1: that rape and attempted murder should have never get out
- 5:07Speaker 1: of prison ever. Again. Imagine we have convicted rapists out
- 5:12Speaker 1: here that are getting out of prison. How is that
- 5:15Speaker 1: even possible? Like, if you're a violent rapist, why are
- 5:19Speaker 1: you getting out of prison? Does the system actually think
- 5:22Speaker 1: you're going to change your ways? These child molesters, these rapists,
- 5:27Speaker 1: these abusers, they don't change. They are what they are.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Though years apart, the horrific nineteen ninety two attacks share
- 5:36Speaker 1: chilling similarities with the slayings of the four students in
- 5:39Speaker 1: Idaho today. When news first broke about the November murders,
- 5:43Speaker 1: it is close to home from his Zabel, it was
- 5:46Speaker 1: really hard at first seeing this story pop up. I
- 5:49Speaker 1: love true crime and I always try to figure out
- 5:51Speaker 1: what happened, she told The Independent from her home in
- 5:54Speaker 1: Santa Monica, California. But people would send me this story
- 5:58Speaker 1: in the beginning, and it is home too much. I
- 6:01Speaker 1: didn't want to open the link, and when I did,
- 6:03Speaker 1: I was like, wow, yeah, I could see that you
- 6:06Speaker 1: had a traumatic experience pretty similar to this. Probably the
- 6:10Speaker 1: last thing you want to do is relive it. Miss
- 6:13Speaker 1: Sabel says that she and her sorority sisters from their
- 6:16Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two house all message each other about the case.
- 6:20Speaker 1: It brought back a lot. The similarities were chilling, she says.
- 6:25Speaker 1: In both cases, a three story house was known as
- 6:28Speaker 1: home to a group of sorority sisters enjoying college life.
- 6:32Speaker 1: The night of the attack was just a typical night
- 6:35Speaker 1: out drinking with fellow students. Kernodle and Chapin had also
- 6:39Speaker 1: spent their last night at a Sigma Kai party. Both times,
- 6:44Speaker 1: several hours passed between the attacks and the alarm being
- 6:47Speaker 1: raised and the nine to one one calls. Both alerted
- 6:50Speaker 1: police to an unconscious individual, only for officials to arrive
- 6:54Speaker 1: to discover a violent bloody scene, And I think the
- 6:58Speaker 1: point of this article is to explain it away that
- 7:01Speaker 1: this kind of thing does happen. Sometimes we just can't
- 7:05Speaker 1: understand or wrap our minds around why somebody reacts a
- 7:09Speaker 1: certain way in a situation. But when we get a
- 7:12Speaker 1: little more context and somebody who has been through it
- 7:15Speaker 1: can add a little bit of flavor to it, maybe
- 7:18Speaker 1: it helps us understand a little bit better what went down.
- 7:22Speaker 1: But perhaps the most harrowing similarity is in the experience
- 7:26Speaker 1: of miss Abel and Dylan Mortenson, one of the two
- 7:29Speaker 1: roommates who survived the Idaho attack. When the affid David
- 7:33Speaker 1: for suspected Idaho killer Brian Koberger was released earlier this month,
- 7:37Speaker 1: it revealed for the first time that Miss Mortenson came
- 7:40Speaker 1: face to face with a masked man inside the student
- 7:43Speaker 1: home moments after her four friends were slaughtered. At the
- 7:48Speaker 1: time of the attack, the nineteen year old was in
- 7:50Speaker 1: her bedroom on the second floor, the same floor where
- 7:53Speaker 1: Kernodle and Chapin were killed. And we heard previously obviously
- 7:58Speaker 1: that they were on the bottom floor, but that is
- 8:01Speaker 1: not the case. And we also heard previously that they
- 8:04Speaker 1: were all sleeping when these attacks occurred. And we know
- 8:07Speaker 1: now that unfortunately that is not the case either. She
- 8:11Speaker 1: told investigators that she had been woken up at around
- 8:14Speaker 1: four am by what sounded like Gonsava is playing with
- 8:18Speaker 1: her dog on the third floor. A short time later,
- 8:21Speaker 1: she heard a woman's voice saying there's someone here, before
- 8:24Speaker 1: a man said shortly after, it's okay, I'm going to
- 8:27Speaker 1: help you. You imagine this sick, disgusting, depraved bastard, who
- 8:31Speaker 1: the government says is Brian Cohberger saying that shit to
- 8:34Speaker 1: this poor girl, and her knowing that she's in supreme jeopardy.
- 8:40Speaker 1: I can't even imagine what their last moments were like.
- 8:44Speaker 1: Opening her door three times to see what was going
- 8:46Speaker 1: on on the last time, she saw a figure clad
- 8:49Speaker 1: in black clothing and a mask that covered the person's
- 8:52Speaker 1: mouth and nose walking towards her. As she stood in
- 8:55Speaker 1: a frozen shock face. The man walked past her and
- 8:58Speaker 1: out the backsliding glass door of the home. The Affidavid
- 9:01Speaker 1: reveals the nineteen year old then locked herself in a
- 9:04Speaker 1: room with no nine to one one call placed for
- 9:07Speaker 1: a further eight hours. And look, that's where the issue
- 9:10Speaker 1: is for a lot of people. And I get it.
- 9:12Speaker 1: I want to know why that phone call wasn't made either.
- 9:15Speaker 1: I'm just as curious as everybody else. But at the
- 9:18Speaker 1: same time, we have to understand that this girl just
- 9:21Speaker 1: went through something severely traumatic. And you know, there's people
- 9:25Speaker 1: out there that still say she had something to do
- 9:27Speaker 1: with these murders. She was an accomplice, and that's I
- 9:30Speaker 1: mean insanity, right. There's nothing that has ever pointed to
- 9:34Speaker 1: anything like that. Of course, when it first happened, that's
- 9:37Speaker 1: what a lot of people were thinking. Me included, well,
- 9:40Speaker 1: how did these surviving roommates? How is it that they
- 9:42Speaker 1: weren't killed? But after we got context on everything that
- 9:46Speaker 1: went down, well it certainly changed the perspective. And these girls,
- 9:52Speaker 1: in my opinion anyway, the surviving roommates, they're victims here too. Now.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Could they have done things better? Of course they could have,
- 10:01Speaker 1: But was there any malicious intent behind it? I do
- 10:04Speaker 1: not think so at all. Since the release of the AFFID,
- 10:08Speaker 1: David miss Mortenson has faced pointed questions as to why
- 10:12Speaker 1: she did not call police as soon as she saw
- 10:14Speaker 1: an unidentified, masked man inside her home. Some online critics
- 10:18Speaker 1: have even gone as far as to baselessly accuse the
- 10:21Speaker 1: student of being involved in her friend's murders. But much
- 10:25Speaker 1: like the nineteen year old student today, miss Abel explains
- 10:29Speaker 1: she also had a delayed response to the traumatic experience
- 10:32Speaker 1: in her student home, as well as a terrifying close
- 10:36Speaker 1: call with the attacker. And until you're in that position again,
- 10:40Speaker 1: you experience it, It's easy to say what I do
- 10:43Speaker 1: or what I wouldn't do. Hell, I've said a million
- 10:45Speaker 1: times before I had a car accident what I would
- 10:48Speaker 1: or wouldn't do, and then my Cadillac gets smashed and
- 10:52Speaker 1: all that goes out the window. Right, What's the saying
- 10:55Speaker 1: In a fight, you always have a plan until you
- 10:58Speaker 1: get punched in the face. It's the same thing here.
- 11:01Speaker 1: You can say till the cows come home what you
- 11:03Speaker 1: would or wouldn't do. But when you're in that situation,
- 11:07Speaker 1: when you're the one who is there and you're dealing
- 11:09Speaker 1: with it, well, that's a whole different situation entirely. When
- 11:15Speaker 1: she got home that night in September of nineteen ninety two,
- 11:19Speaker 1: she went to bed none the wiser as to what
- 11:21Speaker 1: had taken place mere feet away from her. Sometime later,
- 11:24Speaker 1: she says she heard someone come into her room before
- 11:27Speaker 1: they quickly quickly left and she heard the front door close.
- 11:31Speaker 1: Can you imagine after the knowing what happened to your
- 11:35Speaker 1: roommate after the fact, and then thinking that that person
- 11:38Speaker 1: was in your room. Talk about terrifying. At the time,
- 11:42Speaker 1: miss Abel simply assumed it was one of her roommates.
- 11:45Speaker 1: It was only later that she learned that it was
- 11:47Speaker 1: the attacker. The next morning, she discovered her sorority sister
- 11:52Speaker 1: in a pool of blood. Except even then, she explains
- 11:56Speaker 1: that she didn't even realize it was blood. I had
- 11:59Speaker 1: really unique experience as I found my housemate, and I
- 12:02Speaker 1: didn't see the blood, she says, I just saw liquid.
- 12:05Speaker 1: My friend was taking her pulse and I thought that
- 12:07Speaker 1: she had choked on her own vomit. Right away, I
- 12:10Speaker 1: said it was vomit. Then when the paramedics arrived, they
- 12:13Speaker 1: stepped into the room and said the word blood. And
- 12:17Speaker 1: when you're a college kid, that has to be your default,
- 12:20Speaker 1: you know, idea right, Oh man, they got too drunk,
- 12:23Speaker 1: they vomited, and they're choking on their vomit. I know
- 12:26Speaker 1: that's what I would think when I was nineteen and
- 12:28Speaker 1: in school. The last thing I would ever think that
- 12:30Speaker 1: somebody came into the house and murdered my roommates, and
- 12:35Speaker 1: in that millisecond, the entire room was red. Miss Abel
- 12:39Speaker 1: says she has since learned that her mind leaped into
- 12:41Speaker 1: a defense mechanism to help her deal with the trauma
- 12:44Speaker 1: of what she was seeing and experiencing. It's a way
- 12:48Speaker 1: of dealing with trauma that, she says, decades on, she
- 12:52Speaker 1: still can't fully put into words. It's still a phenomenon
- 12:55Speaker 1: to me that in our experiences as humans, we can
- 12:58Speaker 1: see the same light and color, or if I see
- 13:00Speaker 1: a dog on the street, you will also see that
- 13:03Speaker 1: dog on the street, she says. But when we are
- 13:05Speaker 1: in a state of trauma, the mind will protect us.
- 13:08Speaker 1: If we can't experience something without damage, the mind will
- 13:11Speaker 1: block it out. And there's no doubt that the mind
- 13:14Speaker 1: has its way of trying to protect you. And when
- 13:19Speaker 1: you see something like this or go through something like this,
- 13:22Speaker 1: your mind has to go to all kinds of crazy
- 13:24Speaker 1: ass places. She adds, that blows my mind to this
- 13:28Speaker 1: day and humbles me. While something still somewhat incomprehensible, her
- 13:34Speaker 1: own vivid recollection of how our mind responded to the
- 13:37Speaker 1: trauma that day gives her a clear understanding of Miss
- 13:40Speaker 1: Mortenson's reaction to the violent night in November. You feel
- 13:44Speaker 1: a tsunami of chaos and horror, so I can understand
- 13:47Speaker 1: why she froze and why you don't know what to do,
- 13:50Speaker 1: says miss Abel. You second check yourself. If there's even
- 13:54Speaker 1: a one percent chance that something traumatic isn't true, then
- 13:57Speaker 1: you lean in and believe it's not true. So the
- 14:00Speaker 1: mind definitely will play tricks on you. Did Dylan say
- 14:03Speaker 1: to herself, well, look, this is just somebody that was
- 14:06Speaker 1: at the house and they were wearing a mask because
- 14:09Speaker 1: of COVID, and then try and convince yourself of that
- 14:12Speaker 1: very possible. She also knows all too well the guilt
- 14:16Speaker 1: that the nineteen year old may feel for not calling
- 14:18Speaker 1: nine to one one earlier, as she spent a long
- 14:20Speaker 1: time wondering if things could have been different in my situation.
- 14:25Speaker 1: My housemates survived, but with a lot of brain damage.
- 14:27Speaker 1: She says, I carry the guilt wondering if I had
- 14:30Speaker 1: called earlier, would she have had as much brain damage.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Miss Abel says that she didn't want to rehash what
- 14:36Speaker 1: she went through back in nineteen ninety two, but felt
- 14:39Speaker 1: the responsibility to speak out in defense of miss Mortenson.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Who sees her younger self, who she sees her younger
- 14:45Speaker 1: self in. And look, I get that. You see somebody
- 14:48Speaker 1: who went through something you went through, and you want
- 14:50Speaker 1: to reach out to them and support them. Right, Hey, Look,
- 14:54Speaker 1: there's not many of us who have been through this.
- 14:56Speaker 1: I want you to know that there's people out there
- 14:58Speaker 1: that have walked in your shoes and and all of that, jazz.
- 15:01Speaker 1: And I think that's a pretty noble move from miss
- 15:04Speaker 1: Zabel here to relive her own trauma to reach out
- 15:07Speaker 1: and defend Dylan. I think that's a solid move on
- 15:10Speaker 1: Misszabel's part. I understand the anguish when you read the affidavit.
- 15:15Speaker 1: I also thought, oh god, you saw him, But you
- 15:18Speaker 1: have to look beyond that as a human and see
- 15:20Speaker 1: that this is a nineteen year old girl has experienced
- 15:23Speaker 1: something atypical, horrific, and traumatic, she says. So to accuse
- 15:27Speaker 1: her without evidence and diminish her experience and assume she
- 15:31Speaker 1: would have done something different when you've never experienced anything
- 15:34Speaker 1: similar is unacceptable, She adds. It changed all of our
- 15:39Speaker 1: lives very quickly, and it's something you can't ever change
- 15:42Speaker 1: or take away, and it will always be with you.
- 15:45Speaker 1: That's the reason I wanted to stand up for Dylan
- 15:47Speaker 1: as she is being chastised online by so many people.
- 15:51Speaker 1: She urges the critics to stand down, emphasizing that without
- 15:55Speaker 1: having gone through a similar experience, they can't possibly understand
- 15:59Speaker 1: the way Trum takes hold. And I agree with that,
- 16:02Speaker 1: But people are going to have questions about that nine
- 16:05Speaker 1: to one one call, and I don't see that being
- 16:07Speaker 1: an issue. It's when you start calling this girl an
- 16:10Speaker 1: accomplice or saying she had something to do with it.
- 16:13Speaker 1: And one of my biggest things has always been, especially
- 16:16Speaker 1: following the Epstein and Maxwell case, is big allegations require
- 16:21Speaker 1: big evidence. So if you're going to allege that she
- 16:25Speaker 1: had something to do with the crimes, you better come
- 16:27Speaker 1: correct with receipts. You have to change your perception and perspective,
- 16:32Speaker 1: and you have to moderate how you speak on this.
- 16:34Speaker 1: She will look and live with this for the rest
- 16:36Speaker 1: of her life, and just one comment has the ability
- 16:39Speaker 1: to crush someone's spirit, she says. Instead of facing a
- 16:43Speaker 1: barrage of suspicion and criticism, miss Abel says Miss Mortenson
- 16:47Speaker 1: and the second surviving room mate, Bethany Funk, both need
- 16:50Speaker 1: support in dealing with the trauma. They have endured. I
- 16:54Speaker 1: am one hundred percent in support of them. They have
- 16:57Speaker 1: a long road ahead, and I'm sure that they will
- 16:59Speaker 1: find their She says, they're definitely gonna need support, and
- 17:02Speaker 1: my guess is they're getting that support from the community
- 17:05Speaker 1: and from their family and friends. But if I was
- 17:08Speaker 1: them or their loved ones, I wouldn't. I would tell them, Look,
- 17:11Speaker 1: your best bet is not to go on any of
- 17:13Speaker 1: these internet forums ever, because people are vile, there's no doubt.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Back in ninety two, she says that she and her
- 17:21Speaker 1: roommates didn't get any offers of counseling from their college,
- 17:24Speaker 1: but social media also wasn't around. She adds, no one
- 17:28Speaker 1: got counseling, so I packed it all away in a
- 17:31Speaker 1: file and moved on with my life. But the file,
- 17:33Speaker 1: and the pain and the fear, it was all still there,
- 17:36Speaker 1: she says. As well as guilt over her reaction to
- 17:40Speaker 1: her own experience, she has also struggled to come to
- 17:42Speaker 1: terms with the knowledge of just how close she came
- 17:45Speaker 1: to the attacker. The attacker was standing over my bed
- 17:49Speaker 1: as I slept. I didn't sleep for about a year
- 17:51Speaker 1: after that, because as soon as I closed my eyes,
- 17:54Speaker 1: I felt someone chasing me. She says, I can't imagine
- 17:57Speaker 1: I honestly can't imagine not being comfortable laying in bed,
- 18:01Speaker 1: the one place where you should be comfortable, right, You
- 18:04Speaker 1: should be secure your house, your bed, and then to
- 18:07Speaker 1: have some scumbag skulk into your house in the middle
- 18:10Speaker 1: of the night and kill your roommates or in this
- 18:13Speaker 1: case rape and try and kill one of your roommates. Yeah,
- 18:16Speaker 1: that's going to affect you for the rest of your life,
- 18:18Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Every single time I think of it,
- 18:22Speaker 1: I'm on the verge of tears. It never leaves you.
- 18:25Speaker 1: She adds, I wish I had done more work to
- 18:27Speaker 1: process it all back then. So I hope they get
- 18:30Speaker 1: the support and are able to process every aspect and
- 18:33Speaker 1: feeling from this experience. From one survivor to another. She
- 18:38Speaker 1: has a poignant message for the two roommates who live
- 18:40Speaker 1: through the attack. Make sure you know you're not responsible
- 18:44Speaker 1: in any way. Celebrate the lives or your friends, and
- 18:47Speaker 1: honor them in the way that you live your lives.
- 18:52Speaker 1: All right, folks, Well, I just wanted to add this
- 18:54Speaker 1: one to the catalog, so we have a little perspective
- 18:57Speaker 1: from somebody who actually went through this when when you
- 19:00Speaker 1: hear from people who have went through the same sort
- 19:02Speaker 1: of thing, oftentimes it adds a lot more context to
- 19:06Speaker 1: what you're looking at, especially when it's a situation like
- 19:09Speaker 1: this that is so unique. Not very many people go
- 19:12Speaker 1: through it, right, So when you hear from somebody who has,
- 19:15Speaker 1: it helps to perhaps answer some of the questions we
- 19:18Speaker 1: may have. All Right, folks, that's gonna do it for
- 19:21Speaker 1: this one. If you'd like to contact me, you can

- 19:45Speaker 1: to the program. Survivors of Ted Bundy gave an interview
- 19:50Speaker 1: to Fox over the weekend where they were talking about
- 19:54Speaker 1: some of the similarities between the attack by Brian Kolberger
- 19:58Speaker 1: allegedly and the one by Ted Bundy on the sorority house.
- 20:03Speaker 1: Today's article was published by The New York Post and
- 20:07Speaker 1: the headline ted Bundy survivors see eerie similarities between their
- 20:12Speaker 1: gruesome attacks and Brian Coberger's alleged rampage. This story was
- 20:17Speaker 1: originally published by Fox News. The brutal killings of four
- 20:22Speaker 1: University of Idaho students have captured the attention of the
- 20:26Speaker 1: nation as suspect Brian Colberger awaits his trial, but two
- 20:30Speaker 1: survivors of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy warn his murders
- 20:35Speaker 1: bear an eerie resemblance to the FSU Sorority House killings.
- 20:40Speaker 1: There have been a lot of mass murderers, but Coburger
- 20:44Speaker 1: seemed to almost pick a murder that mirrored one of
- 20:46Speaker 1: Bundy's murders. Is that a coincidence? I don't know, survivor
- 20:51Speaker 1: Karen Pryor said on Fox Nations Parallels of Evil the
- 20:54Speaker 1: Bundy and Idaho killings. Now, I'm not too sure one
- 20:58Speaker 1: way or the other if Brian Colber was, you know,
- 21:01Speaker 1: infatuated with Ted Bundy or trying to mimic his killings
- 21:05Speaker 1: or anything like that. But there's no doubt that these two,
- 21:09Speaker 1: probably when all is said and done, are going to
- 21:12Speaker 1: share some tendencies. And I'm guessing that whichever one of
- 21:15Speaker 1: these psychologists get to sit down with them is going
- 21:19Speaker 1: to be able to figure all of that out after
- 21:22Speaker 1: really sitting down with him and building a profile, especially
- 21:25Speaker 1: if he's like someone like Ed Kemper and he wants
- 21:28Speaker 1: to talk to the psychologist or the BAU officials, somebody
- 21:32Speaker 1: who wants to talk about their crimes and the rest
- 21:35Speaker 1: of that. We just don't know yet with Brian Kolberger
- 21:38Speaker 1: what kind of person he is, So everything's up in
- 21:41Speaker 1: the air, right He might have all of the same
- 21:44Speaker 1: tendencies as Ted Bundy, or he might not have any.
- 21:48Speaker 1: These roommates are saying that they feel like the attacks
- 21:52Speaker 1: have some similar traits. However, Brian Kolberger, the criminology PhD
- 21:57Speaker 1: student accused of the home invasion murder of four University
- 22:01Speaker 1: of Idaho undergrads, was indicted by a grand jury in
- 22:05Speaker 1: leytah County, Idaho, earlier this month. According to authorities, he
- 22:10Speaker 1: is accused of sneaking into a college town rental home
- 22:14Speaker 1: around four am on November thirteenth, twenty twenty two, and
- 22:18Speaker 1: killing Kayley Gonsalvis Madison Mogan, Xanakernodle, and Ethan Japin inside.
- 22:25Speaker 1: When news broke about the murders, Bundy survivor RYL Thomas
- 22:29Speaker 1: said reports brought her back to the events of January fifteenth,
- 22:33Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight. And we have also heard from other
- 22:36Speaker 1: survivors of a different sorority attack that occurred in Buffalo
- 22:40Speaker 1: that said the same thing. One of the survivors of
- 22:43Speaker 1: that attack actually went through something similar to the survivor
- 22:47Speaker 1: Dylan Mortenson in the Idaho attack. Heard some crying, heard
- 22:51Speaker 1: some screaming, but didn't really know what was going on,
- 22:54Speaker 1: and didn't know until the next day. So while Ted
- 22:56Speaker 1: Bundy and his attack on the sorority at Florida's State
- 23:00Speaker 1: University is probably the most notorious of these kinds of attacks,
- 23:05Speaker 1: this is certainly something that has happened in the past
- 23:07Speaker 1: and unfortunately will happen in the future. I could relate,
- 23:11Speaker 1: Thomas told Fox Nations. Nancy Grace Prior added, it brings
- 23:15Speaker 1: back that memory when she managed to just barely survive
- 23:18Speaker 1: Bundy's rampage at a sorority house. Imagine those lingering memories
- 23:24Speaker 1: surviving a guy like Ted Bundy, knowing what he was
- 23:27Speaker 1: capable of and what he did not only to random women,
- 23:31Speaker 1: but your roommates, your sorority sisters, and to survive that, Yeah,
- 23:36Speaker 1: I'm guessing there's a lot of survivor's guilt there, even
- 23:39Speaker 1: though there shouldn't be. But whenever you survive a situation
- 23:43Speaker 1: and one of your friends or your loved ones they
- 23:45Speaker 1: do not, there's a lot of survivor's guilt that has
- 23:48Speaker 1: to be dealt with. Even if that survivor's guilt is buried,
- 23:52Speaker 1: it is there. It's present, and it's going to cause
- 23:56Speaker 1: issues for a lot of people, and unfortunately, somebody like
- 24:00Speaker 1: this who lives through an attack like this is going
- 24:03Speaker 1: to be dealing with that for the rest of their lives.
- 24:07Speaker 1: Ted Bundy broke into the Kyle Mega sorority house at
- 24:10Speaker 1: Florida State University, where he unleashed hell on sleeping sorority sisters.
- 24:15Speaker 1: He attacked and bludgeoned four girls at the house, leaving
- 24:19Speaker 1: Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy dead. Prior was one of
- 24:24Speaker 1: the sorority house survivors. While police rushed to the Kyo
- 24:28Speaker 1: Mega house, Bundy fled the scene and ended up breaking
- 24:32Speaker 1: into a nearby duplex, where he attacked Thomas in her
- 24:35Speaker 1: own bed. Think about how much of a psycho Ted
- 24:38Speaker 1: Bundy had to have been. He just gets done attacking
- 24:41Speaker 1: sorority girls. Oh that's not enough. The police are coming,
- 24:44Speaker 1: So let me go break into a duplex and start
- 24:47Speaker 1: all over. If anybody ever deserved to get thrown directly
- 24:51Speaker 1: in a volcano, it was Ted Bundy. My neighbors heard
- 24:55Speaker 1: when I was being attacked. They heard moaning, so they
- 24:57Speaker 1: called and they could hear through the wall my phone ringing.
- 25:01Speaker 1: I didn't answer, she said during the Fox Nation special.
- 25:04Speaker 1: Then they called again and they heard running. So at
- 25:07Speaker 1: that point Ted Bundy was running out and getting out
- 25:10Speaker 1: through the kitchen window, and they called nine to one
- 25:13Speaker 1: one because it was just too weird of a sound
- 25:16Speaker 1: of going next door. When asked how Coberger's alleged killings
- 25:20Speaker 1: mirrored Bundy's, Pryor said, he broke into the house as
- 25:24Speaker 1: Bundy broke into the sorority house, and went kind of
- 25:27Speaker 1: systematically from person to person to kill them. Now, with Bundy,
- 25:31Speaker 1: I certainly think that's the case. With Coburger, I don't
- 25:34Speaker 1: think that's the case. I think that Brian Coohberger initially
- 25:37Speaker 1: only planned on hurting Madison Mogen, but when Kaylee was there,
- 25:41Speaker 1: as I've said before, it threw everything into chaos for him,
- 25:45Speaker 1: and it flipped the switch. And once that psychopath was ignited,
- 25:49Speaker 1: forget it, it was over. And once he came out
- 25:52Speaker 1: of that room and he ran into Xana. Well he
- 25:55Speaker 1: had to kill her too, right, and then Ethan as well.
- 25:58Speaker 1: My guess is Ethan stumbled out of the room hearing
- 26:01Speaker 1: some kind of you know, chaos or whatever. He comes
- 26:04Speaker 1: out and he's ambushed. So I don't think it was
- 26:06Speaker 1: systematic so much with Brian Kohberger as him being caught
- 26:11Speaker 1: unawares if you will, and unexpectedly finding Kaylee in the
- 26:15Speaker 1: bed with Maddie. Whereas Ted Bundy, I think he broke
- 26:19Speaker 1: into that house, that sorority house, to cause mass casualties,
- 26:23Speaker 1: mass amount of damage. At that point, Ted Bundy had
- 26:26Speaker 1: progressed so far into his depravity that there was no
- 26:31Speaker 1: stopping this guy, and one was never enough. Ted Bundy
- 26:35Speaker 1: was the kind of guy he had to have multiple
- 26:37Speaker 1: and not only that, he would bury their remains and
- 26:40Speaker 1: then go back to spend time with those buried remains,
- 26:43Speaker 1: if you get my drift. The twenty eight year old
- 26:46Speaker 1: Washington State University PhD student was charged with four counts
- 26:50Speaker 1: of first degree murder and another of felony burglary after
- 26:54Speaker 1: allegedly sneaking into a six bedroom house near the University
- 26:58Speaker 1: of Idaho about ten miles away from his Washington apartment
- 27:02Speaker 1: where he killed the four students. For over a month,
- 27:05Speaker 1: police and law enforcement officials were relatively silent on their
- 27:09Speaker 1: search for a suspect until Coburger was arrested on December thirtieth,
- 27:13Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. There's no doubt that the police were
- 27:16Speaker 1: playing things close to the vest and there was all
- 27:19Speaker 1: kinds of chaos surrounding that, remember, where people were thinking
- 27:23Speaker 1: that the police really had no idea what they were doing.
- 27:26Speaker 1: But in the long run, when everything was what it was,
- 27:30Speaker 1: the police ended up getting the guy that they say
- 27:32Speaker 1: was responsible. Similarly, Bundy broke into the sorority house and duplex,
- 27:39Speaker 1: attacking his victims and escaping without a trace for weeks.
- 27:44Speaker 1: Private investigator Bill Warner told Parallels of Evil host Nancy
- 27:48Speaker 1: Grace that his initial thought was that the Idaho killer
- 27:51Speaker 1: was a copycat of Bundy Ted. Bundy's former lawyer, John
- 27:56Speaker 1: Henry Brown noted in the special that in both the
- 28:00Speaker 1: Idaho and Bundy cases, rage seemed to play a central
- 28:03Speaker 1: role and how the victims were murdered. And yeah, I
- 28:07Speaker 1: agree with that one hundred percent. And as I've said
- 28:10Speaker 1: just previously in this episode, my speculation is that rage
- 28:14Speaker 1: occurred because Kaylee unexpectedly was in that bed. And when
- 28:19Speaker 1: you have a psychopath like Brian Koberger is being made
- 28:22Speaker 1: out to be well, if they get their plan thrown off,
- 28:26Speaker 1: there's gonna be consequences for whoever is responsible for him
- 28:30Speaker 1: not being able to spend the time that he wanted
- 28:33Speaker 1: to spend with Madison. And that's some scary shit when
- 28:36Speaker 1: you think about it. It's so random, and the manner
- 28:39Speaker 1: of homicide was so brutal. Brown said, I've done probably
- 28:43Speaker 1: fifty murder cases in my career, maybe more, and these
- 28:46Speaker 1: are the only two that have had those similarities. Almost
- 28:50Speaker 1: all of them involve weapons guns mostly, or if fistfights
- 28:54Speaker 1: things like that, or in self defense, and usually it
- 28:57Speaker 1: is done with a gun, right, somebody will walk in
- 29:00Speaker 1: a killer and use a gun and be done with it.
- 29:03Speaker 1: When you're using a knife in the manner of which
- 29:06Speaker 1: a knife was used in Moscow, it's a much more
- 29:08Speaker 1: intimate sort of killing. And it leads me to believe
- 29:12Speaker 1: that there are other issues at play there as far
- 29:15Speaker 1: as the mind state of the killer, because if it
- 29:19Speaker 1: was like a cartel hit, like some people said at
- 29:21Speaker 1: the beginning, it would have been cold, but not done
- 29:25Speaker 1: with a knife. They would have walked in there with
- 29:27Speaker 1: a gun and did everybody that way. And when you
- 29:29Speaker 1: have a knife involved like this, it usually points to
- 29:33Speaker 1: a much more intimate nature, a much more connected nature
- 29:37Speaker 1: of the killer and the victim, even if that connection
- 29:40Speaker 1: is only in the killer's mind. Bundy i'd used a
- 29:44Speaker 1: log to beat his victims, including Thomas and Pryor, while
- 29:47Speaker 1: Colberger allegedly used a knife to stab the four students.
- 29:51Speaker 1: Brown explained that both weapons involved being close to the
- 29:54Speaker 1: victim and require a lot of time and rage to
- 29:57Speaker 1: kill an individual. They're brutal, and they're designed to basically
- 30:01Speaker 1: destroy the inside of your body as well as the
- 30:03Speaker 1: outside of your body. That's an indication of a great
- 30:06Speaker 1: deal of rage on the part of the perpetrator, no
- 30:09Speaker 1: question about it, he shared. The Fox Nation special even
- 30:14Speaker 1: looks at how key pieces of evidence like the vehicle
- 30:17Speaker 1: helped track down suspects in both the Bundy and Idaho case.
- 30:21Speaker 1: In the aftermath of the brutal crimes, both college towns
- 30:24Speaker 1: were rocked, and students at the two universities applied a
- 30:28Speaker 1: new level of caution to their daily routines. Bundy eventually
- 30:32Speaker 1: confessed to at least thirty murders and was executed in
- 30:35Speaker 1: Florida in nineteen eighty nine. While Coburger has been charged,
- 30:39Speaker 1: he still awaits a six week trial, which will begin
- 30:42Speaker 1: in October. In both the Idaho and Bundy cases, rage
- 30:46Speaker 1: seemed to play a central role in how the victims
- 30:49Speaker 1: were murdered, according to Bundy's former lawyer. A judge entered
- 30:53Speaker 1: pleas of not guilty to all charges for Brian Colberger
- 30:57Speaker 1: at his arraignment Monday, more than six months after police
- 31:00Speaker 1: allege he fatally stabbed the four University of Idaho undergrads
- 31:05Speaker 1: and their off campus home. While the nation, especially the Moscow,
- 31:10Speaker 1: Idaho community, awaits the trial, Fox Nations Parallels of Evil
- 31:15Speaker 1: present subscribers with alarming similarities between one of the most
- 31:19Speaker 1: notorious serial killers and the Idaho murders through the eyes
- 31:23Speaker 1: of experts and survivors, and for me, it's always interesting
- 31:27Speaker 1: to get the perspective of people who actually lived through
- 31:30Speaker 1: something like this, who can give you a better explanation
- 31:34Speaker 1: of what went down, how they felt, what it was
- 31:37Speaker 1: like then people who actually lived through it. So while
- 31:40Speaker 1: I don't think that Coleburger was some kind of Ted
- 31:43Speaker 1: Bundy copycat or Ted Bundy wanna be. There are certainly
- 31:48Speaker 1: some similarities about the sorority house attack and what went
- 31:52Speaker 1: down in Moscow, and what the surviving roommates of the
- 31:56Speaker 1: Moscow attack are going to go through is going to
- 31:59Speaker 1: be relatively similar to what these other survivors have went
- 32:02Speaker 1: through as they've tried to put what happened behind them,
- 32:07Speaker 1: and hopefully they're getting the proper counseling and therapy that
- 32:11Speaker 1: they're going to need, because my guess is it's going
- 32:14Speaker 1: to be rough to navigate through all of this, especially
- 32:17Speaker 1: with the trial having to relive it. That certainly can't
- 32:20Speaker 1: be a prospect that a survivor is looking forward to.
- 32:24Speaker 1: All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.
- 32:26Speaker 1: All of the information that goes with the episode can
- 32:29Speaker 1: be found in the description box. Everyone and welcome back
- 32:33Speaker 1: to the program. As everybody continues to try to connect
- 32:37Speaker 1: the dots about what happened in Moscow, there are a
- 32:41Speaker 1: few other stabbings that shared a lot of the same similarities. Well,
- 32:46Speaker 1: those stabbings have been looked into by the investigators, and
- 32:49Speaker 1: the investigators are saying that they are not connected. So
- 32:53Speaker 1: we talked about the stabbing up in Oregon of Travis
- 32:57Speaker 1: Juten and his wife and how it was very, very
- 33:00Speaker 1: similar to these attacks. Now the investigators are saying they've
- 33:03Speaker 1: looked into all of it and there is no connection.
- 33:06Speaker 1: So that brings us right back to square one, doesn't it?
- 33:10Speaker 1: For me? I would have to say that the likeliest
- 33:14Speaker 1: possibility here, the likeliest outcome, is that there was a
- 33:17Speaker 1: stalker and they just didn't know about it. As far
- 33:20Speaker 1: as her family or one of these girls' families and friends,
- 33:25Speaker 1: we've heard a lot of talk that it was Kayley
- 33:27Speaker 1: who had the stalker. None of that's been confirmed, but
- 33:31Speaker 1: the police are certainly looking into it, and of all
- 33:33Speaker 1: of the stuff that we have heard, all of the
- 33:35Speaker 1: information that we have received as the public, that seems
- 33:39Speaker 1: to be the likeliest outcome here that there was a
- 33:42Speaker 1: stalker involved and whatever happened led to these murders. But
- 33:46Speaker 1: it's so crazy because usually you don't see this kind
- 33:49Speaker 1: of collateral damage, meaning that if a stalker is going
- 33:53Speaker 1: to kill somebody, they wait until they're alone and then
- 33:55Speaker 1: they kill them. I think what's throwing everybody off here
- 33:58Speaker 1: is that there's so many other murders involved as well,
- 34:01Speaker 1: it's not just one girl who was targeted by insert
- 34:04Speaker 1: stalker here. It was a whole group of friends who
- 34:06Speaker 1: was murdered while they were in bed. So there is
- 34:11Speaker 1: a big disconnect. Usually, when you're talking about a stalker
- 34:15Speaker 1: and a whole house getting murdered, that's some straight up
- 34:18Speaker 1: psychopaths shit. So we're gonna have to get some information
- 34:23Speaker 1: obviously to fill in all of the blanks. But the
- 34:25Speaker 1: way that the police keep ruling stuff out and the
- 34:28Speaker 1: way they say this was targeted, it's leading me to
- 34:31Speaker 1: believe that this talk about a stalker definitely has legs.
- 34:35Speaker 1: And when you start to look at all of the
- 34:37Speaker 1: information and everything that we know, it's the likeliest outcome
- 34:41Speaker 1: here is that one of these girls had a stalker.
- 34:44Speaker 1: So let's get to this article from Fox News and
- 34:47Speaker 1: let's get caught up on where things stand. Headline, Idaho
- 34:52Speaker 1: investigators rule out connection between college murders and other unsolved stabbings.
- 34:58Speaker 1: This article was authored by Mike Ruiz. Detectives looking into
- 35:03Speaker 1: a quadruple homicide of a group of University of Idaho
- 35:06Speaker 1: students have ruled out a connection between the Jarring attack
- 35:10Speaker 1: and two other unsolved stabbings, with similar characteristics, and look,
- 35:15Speaker 1: I think that at this point people are just you know,
- 35:17Speaker 1: kind of grasping at straws trying to make it all
- 35:20Speaker 1: make sense. And that's the most difficult part because none
- 35:23Speaker 1: of this is ever going to make sense. The fact
- 35:25Speaker 1: that these kids were killed, the fact that they were killed,
- 35:28Speaker 1: in the manner that they were killed, and in the
- 35:30Speaker 1: town that they were killed in, there's no you know,
- 35:33Speaker 1: making sense of that. We don't believe at this time
- 35:38Speaker 1: that these murders are actually linked to two other knife
- 35:41Speaker 1: murders that have occurred. Aaron Snell, the director of communications
- 35:45Speaker 1: for the Idaho State Police, told the Fox News Digital
- 35:48Speaker 1: on Friday, at this point in time, our detectives were
- 35:51Speaker 1: aware of these cases, and we have looked into them. All. Right, Well,
- 35:55Speaker 1: they're saying that they did their due diligence, and all
- 35:57Speaker 1: we can do is go on with what they say. Right, So,
- 36:01Speaker 1: they've ruled those out those stabbings, they've ruled out several
- 36:04Speaker 1: people who look like key suspects, and now, as far
- 36:09Speaker 1: as we're concerned the public, it's a guessing game at
- 36:12Speaker 1: this point, and anyone who says any different is fooling
- 36:15Speaker 1: you because they haven't put anything out there that would
- 36:18Speaker 1: lead us to a conclusion one way or the other,
- 36:21Speaker 1: besides the fact that a, this was a targeted attack
- 36:24Speaker 1: and b it's starting to look like there was a
- 36:27Speaker 1: stalker involved. Now they're gonna have to put those pieces
- 36:31Speaker 1: together and they're gonna have to actually find this stalker.
- 36:35Speaker 1: We've heard from second hand parties, third hand parties that
- 36:39Speaker 1: there was a situation with perhaps the stalker with Kayley. Now,
- 36:43Speaker 1: the investigators they haven't really been able to find anything
- 36:47Speaker 1: as far as that goes, at least that they've been
- 36:49Speaker 1: willing to share with the public. That's always the caveat.
- 36:53Speaker 1: When you hear them start ruling stuff like this out
- 36:56Speaker 1: and they start saying, no, this didn't happen, that didn't happen,
- 37:00Speaker 1: it leads me to believe that maybe they're sniffing something.
- 37:06Speaker 1: Killy Gunsalves, Madison Mogan, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were
- 37:10Speaker 1: found dead hours after police say someone attacked them in
- 37:14Speaker 1: their sleep on November thirteenth. Reporters out of news briefing
- 37:17Speaker 1: on Wednesday asked Moscow police about the possible connection between
- 37:21Speaker 1: the students slaying and a second unsolved stabbing which left
- 37:25Speaker 1: Travis Jutin dead and seriously injured his wife, Jamie lynnon Oregon.
- 37:29Speaker 1: And even though those weren't connected, I'm glad we added
- 37:32Speaker 1: it to the catalog because their story matters too, and
- 37:35Speaker 1: the person who killed Travis Juten, that person needs to
- 37:38Speaker 1: be caught. So if this story brings a little renewed
- 37:42Speaker 1: spotlight on that, I think that's a good thing, honestly,
- 37:45Speaker 1: because how many of these cases go cold in a
- 37:47Speaker 1: place like this, some random attacks, some random violence. The
- 37:52Speaker 1: small town police officers have no idea what happened, and
- 37:55Speaker 1: before you know it, the case goes cold. And that's
- 37:58Speaker 1: what happened up here in Oregon. And obviously this person's
- 38:01Speaker 1: family deserves justice, they deserve closure, authorities say, and intruder
- 38:06Speaker 1: attacked the couple in their sleep around three am on
- 38:09Speaker 1: August thirteenth of twenty twenty one. Travis Jutton, twenty six,
- 38:13Speaker 1: fought back but succumbed to his injuries. His wife, who
- 38:16Speaker 1: is twenty six, now survives nineteen stab wounds and she
- 38:20Speaker 1: had some horrific injuries. When we read that article, I
- 38:23Speaker 1: couldn't believe the extent of her injuries. And this poor
- 38:27Speaker 1: woman not only had to deal with all of that,
- 38:29Speaker 1: you know, mending on the comeback from being stabbed nineteen times,
- 38:33Speaker 1: but the realization that not only her husband is gone,
- 38:37Speaker 1: but her best friend. And I know there's a lot
- 38:40Speaker 1: of you out there with who are married to their
- 38:42Speaker 1: best friend. And I know, personally, I'm with my best friend.
- 38:46Speaker 1: My girlfriend is by far my best friend, and it's
- 38:49Speaker 1: not even close. I share everything with her. She's my confidant,
- 38:54Speaker 1: she's my support system. God forbid anything ever happened to her.
- 38:57Speaker 1: I don't know what I would do. When she was
- 39:00Speaker 1: diagnosed with breast cancer. It was the most jarring situation
- 39:04Speaker 1: of my whole entire life. And to watch her battle
- 39:08Speaker 1: through that, being sick and still standing up tall, going
- 39:11Speaker 1: at work, it was just I was in awe, honestly
- 39:15Speaker 1: of how powerful of a person she is. And to
- 39:20Speaker 1: think that somebody could come into your home and rip
- 39:22Speaker 1: that right from you, it's just almost too much to imagine.
- 39:29Speaker 1: And this poor family, they really deserve justice. So I
- 39:32Speaker 1: hope that some renewed spotlight on this case gets the
- 39:35Speaker 1: police going and maybe you know, there's a break in
- 39:38Speaker 1: the case up there in Oregon, and they find the
- 39:40Speaker 1: person who did this. The following morning, The Idaho Tribune
- 39:45Speaker 1: reported that a third nearby attack under eerily similar circumstances.
- 39:50Speaker 1: Sandra lad seventy one, was found dead in her home
- 39:53Speaker 1: in Washagal, Washington. According to Oregon Crime Stoppers. Her death
- 39:58Speaker 1: was ruled a homicide after the meta examiner found multiple
- 40:01Speaker 1: stab wounds in her torso Washa Goold police said at
- 40:04Speaker 1: the time, so again, if they don't have anything that
- 40:07Speaker 1: they're working on or anything that they're confident in, how
- 40:10Speaker 1: can they rule these out? So we have to read
- 40:13Speaker 1: in between the lines. Unless the investigation is just utterly incompetent,
- 40:18Speaker 1: which I don't believe at this point, then my guess
- 40:21Speaker 1: is they have something more behind the scenes, and maybe
- 40:24Speaker 1: it's substantial. We have excellent investigators on these cases. As
- 40:32Speaker 1: we get critiqued by other people that don't have any
- 40:34Speaker 1: knowledge of it. It's always very interesting to be critiqued
- 40:37Speaker 1: by people who don't have knowledge of a specific case,
- 40:40Speaker 1: he said, although he added that investigators would consider new
- 40:43Speaker 1: evidence if it's surfaced. No point being arrogant, mister Snell. Okay,
- 40:49Speaker 1: you guys have no reason to be arrogant at this
- 40:52Speaker 1: point as investigators. If people are giving you tips, fine,
- 40:56Speaker 1: take the tips and keep it moving. The whole commentary
- 41:00Speaker 1: here oh being critiqued by people, and stop it. People
- 41:03Speaker 1: are going to critique what's going on. You don't have
- 41:06Speaker 1: a suspect in custody and four college kids are dead,
- 41:09Speaker 1: so people are going to critique your work. Now, people
- 41:12Speaker 1: who are saying it's a failed investigation or it's gone cold,
- 41:15Speaker 1: stuff like that, that's a bit premature as well. But look,
- 41:19Speaker 1: these investigators aren't above reproach and the passive aggressive nature
- 41:23Speaker 1: of the commentary is a bit silly. Based on what
- 41:28Speaker 1: they know from the other two cases, it doesn't seem
- 41:31Speaker 1: that they are the same, he said. As they continue
- 41:33Speaker 1: to look for answers in the college killings, they're asking
- 41:36Speaker 1: the public for information on gonsolve this potential stalker, no
- 41:40Speaker 1: matter how small the details may be. Now, this is
- 41:43Speaker 1: where I run into a brick wall. Almost as close
- 41:47Speaker 1: as Kaylee was with her sister, her friends, as far
- 41:50Speaker 1: as Madison and the other girls, she didn't tell anybody
- 41:53Speaker 1: that she was super close to about this stalker. Why
- 41:56Speaker 1: would she only tell people she didn't really know about
- 41:59Speaker 1: the stalker? That doesn't seem to jive with me. Now,
- 42:02Speaker 1: it doesn't mean she didn't have one most very well
- 42:06Speaker 1: could have. And when they're talking this much about it,
- 42:09Speaker 1: my guess is that this stalker stuff has legs. But
- 42:13Speaker 1: she didn't tell anybody really about it, or else they'd
- 42:16Speaker 1: be able to find somebody who was close to her
- 42:18Speaker 1: that would be able to give them more details. We
- 42:22Speaker 1: feel that if there was a stalker, that would be
- 42:24Speaker 1: pretty important piece of information that we would want to know,
- 42:27Speaker 1: Snell said. And so we have followed all the tips
- 42:30Speaker 1: and leads for that regard that we've been able to,
- 42:34Speaker 1: but we have not been able to corroborate anything. But
- 42:37Speaker 1: he said, if it's true there was a stalker, it
- 42:40Speaker 1: would be very important to the investigation. You know, sometimes
- 42:43Speaker 1: they're telling you things without telling you things, and I
- 42:46Speaker 1: think that's what mister Snell is doing here. My guess is, folks,
- 42:49Speaker 1: that that's what they're zeroing in on as far as
- 42:52Speaker 1: the investigation. A stalker. Somebody who was watching either Kaylee
- 42:57Speaker 1: or one of the other girls and decided that this
- 43:00Speaker 1: was going to be the night that they made their move.
- 43:03Speaker 1: That's what this is all pointing to. At this point. Again,
- 43:07Speaker 1: I don't have any concrete evidence of that or any
- 43:10Speaker 1: sort of source that I can point you to. But
- 43:13Speaker 1: when you read between the lines, and you have to
- 43:16Speaker 1: do that with these sorts of investigations, a lot of
- 43:18Speaker 1: times it's what they're not telling you. And when they
- 43:21Speaker 1: continually continuously are asking for information about this alleged stalker
- 43:25Speaker 1: and this person who was allegedly stalking Kayley, it leads
- 43:29Speaker 1: me to believe that they have something behind the scenes cooking.
- 43:32Speaker 1: So it's very interesting and we'll have to see where
- 43:35Speaker 1: it goes. But everything we have learned so far and
- 43:39Speaker 1: everything we're hearing here certainly leads me to believe that
- 43:42Speaker 1: the investigators are on the track of some sort of
- 43:46Speaker 1: stalker and that's their working theory that some stalker killed
- 43:50Speaker 1: these kids. So obviously, the million dollar question for the
- 43:53Speaker 1: investigators and everybody else is who could this stalker possibly be?
- 43:59Speaker 1: All Right, folks, that's gonna do it for this one.
