ID - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered - Bryan Kohberger Arrested - Moscow # 52

[Data Sleuth]

So Murphy did bark. And he was in another bedroom. I know a lot of people were so curious about this

What I read is that the nearby security camera picked up the sound of a dog barking, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it came from the 1122 murder house. MOO

And now they have the car to analyze for DNA and other DNA that hasn't come back.

And I am very sure they will find traces of the victims blood.. Even if he thinks he cleaned it. It will show up

 

[Parsnip]

I would not be at all surprised if BK connected with some kind of troll online who egged him on and helped him script this crime. Pumped up his ego and confidence, rehearsed with him, and took some voyeuristic satisfaction in the process. All moo.

 

[fred&edna]

LE certainly provided plenty of evidence in the PCA for BK's arrest. Good work!

JMO

I don't understand why DM didn't call the police and why he let her go after he had just killed 4 people she said he just walked out. Bizarre

Can he claim he touched the knife sheath in a store, how long does DNA last?

Not 100%

I want to know if BK was still carrying the knife when we was approaching DM.

IMO yes. He dropped the sheath.

 

[NewbieMasterSleuth]

100 per cent agree
It's like he left bread crumbs - very simplistic
Either something is afoot ( and I have no idea what that would be) or he just wanted to be caught

RIGHT!! I completely feel like something's off with it all; or BK is a complete genius/idiot (where he anticipated a lot of things that would get him caught, but somehow overlooked the obvious); or he wanted to be caught...OR...BK, himself, thought that the "small police department" wouldn't be smart enough or have enough resources to do everything they did. JMO

 

[crax.t]

Just think about how long 5 minutes really is and imagine how much damage a big, athletic man could do with a very large knife in that time span.

i don't like thinking about that. maybe that's why my brain can't wrap around it.

 

[esayer]

You have to wonder if BK's computer/phone/Ipad will reveal if a knife was purchased online and delivered to HIS address?

Considering the other obvious mistakes he made, I 100% believe he did this as well.

What's so eerie is he went back to the house in the morning and would have seen no police, he could have gone back in and found the surviving roomates. Makes me feel ill knowing he was outside and could have done anything.

 

[pumpfe]

I don't disagree with you, but BK was a PhD student (not a candidate) and there are some important distinctions. He was a first semester student who was in coursework, he hadn't taken any exams, and he certainly hadn't begun work on his dissertation. So he was far from an expert in criminology, despite his previous MA work.

Good point, and I knew that distinction and still screwed it up....now I'm the idiot.

Now the at length analysis will begin of how Murphy's bark sounds vs other dogs in the area. Videos incoming.

Thanks

we’re missing a couple pages in the affidavit. It’s possible he didn’t see the survivor. Or he could have known her. Crazy she was on the second level, and so scary. Possible explanation: her phone was dead and charger in the car, phone in kitchen etc and so she locked her door and hid. It is possible it was the girl in basement that alerted police, and main level survivor didn’t come out until all clear. IMO

 

[clearskies1]

If the killer stalked/watched the house before the killings he would know that it was filled with many residents. Incredible that he thought he could get away with a crime in a house filled with people. JMO.

 

[EmmieA]

I don't know, by the way it reads in the affidavit and BCK driving around that early morning, it kinda sounds like he was trolling the area for a place, ANY PLACE, to break into and commit murder. Maybe this is what LE meant by the house being targeted?

Yes but I’m wondering how they knew from the start that this was targeted - It makes sense that it was targeted after we have all the info about BK but LE knew almost immediately - How?! What am I missing here?

 

[ReadySet]

Yes. I'm disappointed the PCA leaves her open so many questions. They really should have closed that loop since she is a victim. I feel terrible for her being caught in this PCA release shock unable to explain her actions, which are likely completely understandable with just a few simple details.
JMO

Right. But we can control our reactions.

 

[TooMuchGun]

I am curious why he didn't go after DM?

maybe the dog barking or he assumed he already called 911 moo

I feel like he thought so highly of himself that he could get away with it, and it just boiled down to him making a mistake. He's probably kicking himself that he left behind the sheath. MOO.

 

[sleepingmonkey]

WHAT? Where did you glean that he returned to the house??

I have 3 degrees and I'd say most people in my circle/who know me would consider me quite bright. I have little to no common sense whatsoever. It seems to be a theme that those who are considered "smart" are at times deficient in common sense.

I actually pick on someone close to me [in a loving way] for this very reason, lol. Person is an extreme intellect, two degrees and a masters, avid reader, seen her solve 1000 piece double-sided puzzles in a matter of days, yada yada. Asker her to put a three-piece bedframe together, ask her to put a five-piece towel rack together, ask her for directions to something 15-minutes away = she. just. cannot. compute. It's kind of funny, imo. Always wondered why that was a commonality among big-brains as she's not the only one I've noticed regarding this and somebody said 'it's because they over-think, over-analyze, and don't pay attention to the minute.' That's when it finally clicked for me, lol. Big-brains just don't pay attention to the smaller things.

All just my experience, opinion, and speculation.
