Tried to read everything but am falling behind.Yeah, the questions in his survey would not have been ethically approved at my university either. Not a chance. Even the way the questions are phrased are almost leading the participant to give the answers that he wants imo, perhaps to confirm a preconceived notion/thoughts he has.
Hopefully this post isn’t too off topic. But it seems the authorities were able to get a DNA match very quickly. Why is it other DNA kits sit on a shelf somewhere for months, untested, due to backlogs at state levels?
I’ve followed a couple of murder cases recently on WS and in one case in particular, a rape kit wasn’t tested for months and if the testing hadn’t been delayed, another woman wouldn’t have lost her life.
Yep, I had to write a reply to my own post with that very same response. He apparently DID own the vehicle, so I was just whistling in the wind there.What's the source that says he didn't own the Elantra? This says otherwise:

Authorities tracked the Idaho student killings suspect cross-country to Pennsylvania, sources say | CNN
Authorities tracked the man charged in the killings of four Idaho college students all the way to Pennsylvania and surveilled him for several days before finally arresting him on Friday, sources told CNN.www.cnn.com
He’ll either be appointed an attorney or hire one once he is back in Idaho and arraigned. So far in other big cases we haven’t seen national attorneys get involved - local attorneys were appointed even in Delphi.Public defenders, overloaded by the number of cases, will encourage a plea deal. This defender I'm assuming is in PA, so who will defend him in Idaho?? Will some infamous defense attorney step forward and defend this guy possibly pro bono and drag the case out for years?
I thinkHealey and Kohberger's NCC friend both used the word "shocked" to describe their reactions when they heard about law enforcement's early Friday morning raid on his parents' Albrightsville, Pennsylvania, home and his subsequent arrest.
Kohberger's NCC friend said she found out that he was in custody while she was at work, and she took a few moments to herself, because she began to tear up.
He was "awkward and intelligent, but not someone you would peg for violent," she said.

Idaho murder suspect Kohberger's Pennsylvania classmates say he was 'bright,' awkward, bullied in school
A friend of the suspect arrested in connection with the Idaho quadruple murder told Fox News Digital that the Bryan Christopher Kohlberger she knew was a genius who was interested in what makes "humans tick" but had trouble relating to other peers.www.foxnews.com
"I want to talk to him now and ask him what happened? What went wrong? What was going through your head? What were you feeling? What was going on? You know, why did this occur?"
His friend said that he didn't interact with many people on campus but was friendly with her, and they talked "for hours" about his struggles with heroin addiction and his weight and kept in touch after they graduated.
Agree, but I still fund it odd that one person can kill 4 able bodied young people without even waking up the other people in the house. Why wouldn't the others run after the first kill or even stab? Unless he had a gun to intimidate them into staying. You can't really run from a gun in that close quarters, but if there are 4 people, someone should have been able to get away.Assuming that he acted alone (which I think he did)… how did he pull off stabbing 4 able-bodied, healthy, young college students?
He’s 28 and a regular looking dude. No bodybuilder or ex military. How did he see where he was going in the house at night? Night goggles? Did he stab knowing where to hit the vital points? Or go on a rage-fueled frenzy? That would have probably caused him a serious injury and there is no report from any of his fellow students or professors that he took days off or showed up with wounds.
I know it sounds very silence of the lambs but I really think he used night goggles and that the victims were attacked in an extremely effective way. I don’t see him slashing and hacking at random in the night.
Exactly, that was why I opted out of Gedmatch for a few years. (I opted back in about a year ago)It’s a bit more nuanced than that. I personally am fine with LE using genealogy to find perpetrators of violent crime, but it can be considered a slippery slope. Violent crime is one thing, but I do not want every small nonviolent crime, like petty theft, drug use, etc case using familial DNA…
Yes still available.Is the video available?
Fair point. However, they still are looking for the murder weapon, so... Besides, wouldn't be risky to keep the murder weapon for over a month before disposing it? It is a genuine question.
If he knew he was leaving to travel across the country in just over a month, seems like a perfect idea to get rid of the murder weapon (along the way). But yes, you are correct. If they have not located the knife yet, probably not an accurate assessment on my part.Fair point. However, they still are looking for the murder weapon, so... Besides, wouldn't be risky to keep the murder weapon for over a month before disposing it? It is a genuine question.
I believe the suspected thought/feeling of being a psychopath is from being so absorbed in the research. There is a similar obsession with scientific subjects such that some pursue their phd thesis the rest of their career. So much insight, empathy for the subject can lead to interest and wonder. However, being self aware and modifying behavior or responses and taking a break, and the ability to public discuss discoveries or insights may channel this idea that one is borderline psychopath with respect to what you claim Professor Ramsland stated about herself.One can only speculate at this point, but I wonder if BK started his descent into depravity while studying with Professor Ramsland, who explores the world of the serial killer from the criminal's perspective much as BK's study was designed to do. In 2016, she published her interviews with the BTK killer under the title, "Confession." She was probably working on this book while BK was her student. My view is that BK began to identify with BTK while he was studying under Ramsland. Chillingly, BTK had a personal code for his motto: “D.T.P.G.” stands for “Death to pretty girls.”
It would be easy for a young man with internal and external boundary issues to go to the dark side with this charismatic professor and not find his way back. Much of her work is fiction and fantasy, literally. Some is pseudo-science IMO, including her work on profiling. She seems to acknowledge this point in an NYT interview:
"Years before she started studying serial killers, Ramsland wrote her Ph.D. dissertation on Soren Kierkegaard, the “father” of existentialism. She sees Kierkegaard as informing her most controversial idea in 'Confession' — that some serial killers are more like the rest of us than common wisdom tells us. In the annals of serial killers, [BTK] is hardly the only one who held down a facade of normalcy while hunting his prey, but he managed it far longer than many others. There are many qualities, Ramsland writes, that ordinary people share with so-called monsters: 'overestimating our willpower, idealizing ourselves, daydreaming about power, indulging in secret behaviors that keep attracting us, deceiving others and keeping secrets.' She believes that all of us should lock our doors at night."
She also states in the interview: "Sometimes I think I may be a psychopath." Interesting woman.
I am thinking it is more likely they found his DNA under one or more victim's fingernails. In the defense would catagory...or on a forgotten knife sheath dropped and left behind.
There's no way he didn't leave his DNA at the crime scene... unless he was wearing a hazmat suit.
Not just intriguing for that! It sure is one interesting videoRegarding his Insta:
The one I believe is REAL, that has the one post (a video from Oct. 8) is intriguing because he is following Maddie.
I believe this is his real Insta, since he’s following family numbers with the same last name.
I think Maddie was the target.
Re him being vegan
Do prisons honour inmates' chosen diets??
Hyundai killed all two communication support for that particular infotainment system in January of this year. Stolen vehicle tracking, roadside assistance, the SOS button, collision detections all gone. Essentially the Hyundai (and OnStar) services that received that GPS information are gone.This could be a possible defense against any GPS information that might exist putting him in the area of the house previously. JMO
I just hope and pray that the defense does NOT use that as an excuse for what he did.I have never understood people who bully others. I wonder what those bullies are thinking now? They know who they are.
ADMIN NOTEYes.
Am I allowed to post the link here?
