4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered - Bryan Kohberger Arrested - Moscow # 74

I just used google maps to the center of Montana, not knowing exactly where in Montana Bryan was. Some of the parks are 6 hours away. JMO

Why are you focused on parks? Did I miss something?

MT is a huge state that can feel like it takes forever to drive through! My point stands that I regularly make it from Moscow to MT in under 4 hours. MOO

ETA: no offense to MT! It’s a gorgeous state & I love driving there in good weather! No so much in bad weather. YMMV

Maybe the note was written by BK in late June when he travelled from PA to Pullman to start the doctoral program at WSU. He likely would have driven through Montana at that time.

This!!

I thought BK was known to go hiking, so I mentioned the parks. Just looking at places people might like to visit. He might also have friends or family there. Don't really know why he would go but I think Sundog is on to something. He might have driven through on his way to Moscow. MOO

Anybody else wondering why there is no wallet listed in evidence lists? First I thought maybe it's a young people thing; my daughter told me abut 10 years ago to ditch my purse because it "dated" me. People don't use cash much, but to keep ID cards in a glove seems odd to me. So I went back to the IN police stop. It looks like BK takes something out of his back pants pocket when the cop asks for his driver's license. Fast forward to minute 1:45, cop moves his arm away from window, there it is -- BK's wallet in his lap. Hummmmmm?

OK, going to get my purse and run errands. jmo

Wouldn't your wallet go with you when you're arrested, and be kept with personal effects while held at the jail? I don't know, but it seems like your current ID, medical cards, cards for purchases, stuff kept in a wallet, and clothese, shoes, jacket, would be kept with your belongings at the correctional facility, and be given to you as needed or when you get out. Maybe the cards found at his parents house that were loose are not current or are fake or stolen? jmo

Thank you @Observe_dont_Absorb and @Nila Aella
I am so embarrassed I did not know that's what that "glove" meant. ugh.

I only know as someone posted it upthread yesterday. Previous to which many people wondered why BK had multiple curls of hair inside a glove :/ Admittedly I was always in favour of the cards in glove (meaning wallet) theory but wasn't sure.

It seems like the personal items collected were heavy on the survivalist gear/nightstalker side of things, IMO.

Even the "Smith&Wesson pocket knife" when I looked it up (didn't even know Smith&Wesson made knives!) were lethal looking -- they don't list a "pocket knife" per se, but their "folding knives" would fit in a pocket, and they are, note: considered "Tactical" :

My personal fav was the hiking boot suspicion. I’m a person who hates shoes in general & specifically while making road trips, so my boots are always in my car Shovel & kitty litter get loaded before the first snow along with all the other winter flotsam & jetsam.

Based on info officially released, I’m pretty convinced BCK did a lot more driving exploration than a usual new-to-the-area grad student IME & MOO. No smoking gun — I agree — but interesting to me nonetheless.

Hello, what is the kitty litter for please? I'm in the UK and unless you travel with actual kitties in your car, which would be awesome, I'm clueless...

Many people here in the US who live in winter weather states put bags of kitty litter, salt, or sand in their trunks to add to the rear traction of the vehicle. It comes in handy when roads are crappy.

Aha! thank you kindly. I was wondering if it was to absorb moisture from somewhere ... but where...

To the best of my knowledge, the artist, Yi Xu, made a photorealistic portrait of an unknown old soldier.

As I was a little boy, I liked to watch old pictures of my relatives at my grandparents' house. Scrolling all that dusty photo paper - there was something mystical and spiritual in that. Looking into the eyes of my ancestors was so surreal. I knew that they have lived decades ago, but I was...

It can also be used for traction if you get minor-stuck! Sprinkle behind or in front of your tires, depending. Some carry & use sand, but since we’ve got kitties, the litter actually gets used after snow time!

I actually have AWD so don’t need if for that, but old habits die hard! And I do use it to help others who get minor-stuck

I'll stick with what it says on the list -- there were 6 curls of someone's hair clipped and stored inside a glove in a box of gloves -- IMO:

Huh? That's not what it says on the list.

You can open a bag and shovel it under your tires (wheels) if they are spinning when stuck in the snow or on ice and and it can give you enough traction to get unstuck -- that's what we use it for anyway, and when it's not being used in that way, the bag of it is ballast for better rear wheel traction from the weight.

 

[Twistinginthewind]

Huh? That's what it says on the list.

This was in response to several recent posts implying that it meant something else, so I posted my thoughts that "what it says is what it means" to me. Sorry for the confusion.

He collected some hairs from some unsuspecting individual, and was probably planning on leaving someone else's hair somewhere important as evidence to distract from LE focusing in on him and/or was doing experiments with DNA and who knows what all.

Snipped for focus.

I'm going to repost from the previous thread why I don't think the word is curls (2 reasons).

(1) Whoever wrote that makes their a's look like u's. (Look at the words Columbia, navy, man's, & drawing (there are more examples in the list, I captured a small section)).

(2) It's obviously not curls, as so many have pointed out, as there are 6 characters in that word, not 5, so it can't be curls IMO.

So... has anyone tried playing Wordle with the 6 letters using an a as the 2nd character? While I'm not convinced it's not a 'u', it may definitely be an 'a'. I'm more apt to think an 'a' over a 'u'.

My guess is marijuana. I thought it might be Kratom but it's more of a green powder than a leafy product. Mostly because it can be brewed as tea and I don't picture health conscious BK smoking anything. Kratom is popular and legal in Washington. It has several uses but one antecdotal use is...

Sorry, I meant that's not what it says on the list. If we're sticking to what it says on the list, that isn't it. JMO.

Thanks, Gemmie, I read your post about the handwriting and agree their "a's" aren't closed and look like "u's". However, I don't know of a word such as "carls" so I went with "curls" as the word was typed up by OP.

I don't play "Wordle", but would be interested in seeing other interpretations of what is scrawled on that line, because this image ^^^ is kind of grainy and makes it look like there could be more letters (like the 6 you may be suggesting could be "Wordled" if that's a word, tee hee).

I will stay tuned, just giving my thoughts if it is "curls" what it could mean, and because I didn't agree with other ideas about what it could mean if it is "curls".

Wordled is a word in my book (not Oxford or Merriam-Websters though. lol). As a matter of fact, I Wordled this morning.
