ID - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered - Bryan Kohberger Arrested - Moscow # 50

[Alethea]

I have a question is the legal field like medicine. I mean specialists in medicine make more than say a family practice doctor, Is it the same for attorneys? Corporate more than well say public defenders? If that is the case then family practice doctors and public defenders have a calling. JMO

Yes! It varies widely in law just like medicine. Not just based on speciality but whether you work at a big, full-service fancy law firm in a big city or if you have a small practice in a small town. You are allowed to set your own rates so you can figure out what's appropriate for what you want to do. Big time patent lawyers with a long track-record representing inventors and companies will charge a lot more than your neighborhood lawyer doing wills (but that neighborhood lawyer may have a happier life even if they charge less!).

As an out of state student he was not required to register the Elantra in Washington.
His parents could have sent him the new PA tag if it was up for renewal.
He has no common sense.

I read somewhere that the Ph.D. Program at WSU encouraged students to establish residency in the state, which meant getting a WA drivers license and registering the car there.

While I appreciate your response, I am still skeptical there isn't a better way to do this.

What would you propose? He is a very dangerous prisoner.

 

[Rhenish]

So what's everyone's guess how he came into contact with the victims?He sure doesn't seem the type to hang with their type of group.

This is what I have been mulling over since day one before he, Bryan, was deemed the suspect. Why them-(the victims)? I have so many theories and at the end of the day, primarily because of a lack of evidence that may shed further light on a motive or connection, have no clue. Did these pretty girls slight him, mock him if they had a run-in with him in some venue, public or not? Is he just a born-again serial killer who targeted them? Is there in fact, which has been alluded to, a connection between the killer and one or more of the victims? So many questions regarding motive and connection, or lack thereof, to these 4 victims. I think the probable cause affidavit may possibly, probably, and hopefully, shed more light on this. In the meantime, I am of the mindset that he, as the FBI profiler said in a video posted above by another websleuther, saw these girls as vibrant pretty, and so on and was jealous of everything he could not be nor have. (my words and interpretation). Right now, given his interest and studies and history of pursuing criminology, I am voting for "he is just a cold-blooded killer and targeted them" for whatever lame reason. Someone, some, were going to be his victim at some point in time. He is a killer, for whatever reason, if indeed he is convicted.

Apparently false - they happened but were different inmates.

I wonder how much she was paid for this “story”?

 

[katydid23]

Bumping my post as I'd like an opinion on how this will be handled.

I'm thinking a family member will have to handle all that. LE has already combed through and taken what they want, I guess. So now they either call 'Got Junk' or a sister or parent or cousin has to get it done?

 

[IceCreamSundae]

Just some thoughts...

He is new to the spotlight and still getting over the shock of being arrested,dealing with feelings for loved ones,the fact he knows he going to prison for life etc. We wont be seeing him for quite a while as the trial wont begin for months. When he goes to trial I believe he be fully focused on his defense and also more aware of how he is perceived by the public. The worst thing you can do to a person like this is make them look stupid.That is why I believe he will fight this and never admit his guilt.Would not be surprised if he releases his own lengthy statement claiming innocence and faulty evidence to the public at some point.I am curious to see what his demeanor will be at trial when damaging evidence is presented. Probably scribble down notes the entire trial like Amber Heard.
In the end hes going to death row .

Can everyone in the US try for a plea deal to avoid the death penalty?

I think it is possible that he knew of them but they had no idea who he was.

 

[Boxer]

Yes. Katherine Ramsland. By coincidence, one of BK's professors at DeSales. That's who I'm wondering if he would agree to an interview with. JMO

At least he is barred from profiting if he does.

 

[citygirl]

I just did a rough measurement of where they are to Pullman and it is about 244 miles. If that's right, we still have another hour.

Oh my Lord. The flight alone would be a life sentence for me.
MOO.

I find the number of posts about it troubling. It seems very paparazzi-like and isn't particularly related to the crime/sleuthing/legal process. Moo of course, you do you.

You obviously weren't here for all of the dog posts, were you? The dog posts went on for weeks. This has only been one day and I actually find the posts interesting.

 

[Murphy1950]

No. He would have been worried his plates would have been caught on camera. I think they were.

Changing those plates still doesn’t mean law enforcement can’t find you based on the plates you were driving with that night.

But I think he thought changing them was worth the risk.

There tends to be these competing feelings with these guys. They don’t want to be caught, but getting caught is the only way they get credit. Judging by his facial reaction when he and his dad were pulled over, I def think he was scared of being captured.

If he didn't want to be caught why not just dispose of the car. Say it was stolen. Abandon it in a river...drive it to a bad neighborhood in Seattle (South Park)or somewhere else and leave it with the keys in it. Disguise yourself and take a bus back to Pullman for 50 bucks. Take a few days off from teaching...claiming covid, then take off. So far it seems only the car and DNA are tying him to the crime. There may be more.

I realize it does depend on the type and location of DNA BUT "Hey, I was there often for parties...and anybody could have been in the car. It was stolen..."
Reasonable doubt???

ETA Seriously, would he feel bad that it was his folks car, after viciously murdering 4 people?

So what's everyone's guess how he came into contact with the victims?He sure doesn't seem the type to hang with their type of group.

I read tonight that his car had been pulled over in Aug not far from that apartment house. I'm of the mindset that he chose a location, then proceeded to stake it out and plan his crime. But then I think he's done this before and he's all about the thrill he gets from killing. Stabbing is up close and personal, that implies a thrill from the actual act of killing someone.

 

[Alpine]

That would be a mistake, IMHO. If BK is a serial killer he is educated enough in criminology to know that using different methods is a surefire way to keep cases from being associated.

Agreed, even though he is thought of as being "highly intelligent" those that study Criminology (speaking as someone who has to a lesser extent but still spent many hours in University lectures on the topic) tend to have very high opinions of how they would do things, behave etc when perpetrating a crime. The real thing is very different, I would imagine. So no matter how well-planned he thought his acts might be, he would know enough not to follow a pattern of behaviour, though may make a pattern of unplanned mistakes. So if he is a "serial" the crimes may not look the same, but perhaps would have something as simple as shared DNA connection or forensics that would link him.

Either way, for a so called "genius" somewhere along the line, he made an error that as it always should... Will find him in a cage.

Just theorizing but what if the stops and the prolonged air travel is so ID can get all their ducks in a row before serving him?

I wonder if they are flying through different FBI jurisdictions and they are stopping to change FBI agents that are accompanying him back to Idaho. Like a game of leap frog.

When I came home a little while ago, I had to skip the latter half of thread 49 because the new thread 50 was already on page 29, but a majority of the posts I saw were about the plane.

I'm not one to follow the path of the plane. It seems tedious to me.

Since you are interested, @SteveP, would you explain it to me? What is the fascination? Is it just to know where he is, or is it that people hope that the instant Bryan is on Idaho soil, we will hear what's in the PCA?

I'm sincerely asking, because I'm ignorant in this area.

I think of it like this.... Some people get excited about refreshing news feeds to see if there's anything new or jump online the minute they get a notification about an update. Some people get excited about looking at social media or Twitter for updates. Some people get excited about doing court record searches or jailbooking searches. Some people are interested in determing flight patterns, etc to see if they can figure out where something might be occurring, like where an investigation might be happening or when the suspect might land. For me, I just want to know the plane landed safely and he's protected so that we can HOPEFULLY at some point hear his his story and what he has to say. If he dies in the plane crash…well....there goes that.

 

[eloquence]

Can everyone in the US try for a plea deal to avoid the death penalty?

Courts are not required to offer one, but trials are very expensive and traumatic for many families. If the evidence is stacked the defense may express interest in a guilty plea with agreement not to pursue DP even if prosecution is not already offering one.

 

[passionflower]

All this private attention is probably boosting his ego

 

[Antimony]

KHQ/NBC in spokane is live at Pullman Airport. Streaming is on
They will be live when the plane lands.
