ID - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered - Bryan Kohberger Arrested - Moscow # 66

[Dotta]

Why are you assuming he has been interrogated? They woke him up at around 3 am, told him to get dressed, put him in handcuffs and took him to be booked. I think he was well aware why LE was there and he's well aware of his rights.

Why would he be interrogated? One of the hard parts about cases like this is that it's possible for a murderer to go all the way to Death Row or life in prison and never give an account of what they did or why they did it. Joe DeAngelo (GSK/EARONS) comes to mind.

Really?
Wow!
I thought interrogation, presenting alibi, etc. is an integral part of investigation.
With a lawyer present.

Phew!

It's not even for sure BK's account. "Authorities believe" it was BK's. But the source itself isn't name (I'd bet the ranch it's the Goncalves PI) and we don't know what "authorities" gave this info to a magazine, especially given the gag order. [Edited for typo.]

Yeah, I'm just going to file this one away unless/until something more official comes out.

Edit - this scenario sounds totally plausible and I would not at all be surprised if he was following their social media and trying to contact them. I'm just not convinced by this People report. MOO

 

[WingsOverTX]

Yeah, I wish! I personally think BCK is guilty as hell, but I also believe in the rule of law and fairness. I hate all the leaks.

I think the gag order is unfair.

I sure hope not. He's already been arrested and there is no need to interrogate him at this point. There will be plenty of that coming at him in court. I'm not even sure it would be legal for LE to interrogate him.

NOT legal. He already made it clear to remain silent and hire an attorney who will speak on his behalf.

 

[Chelly]

So when was he interrogated?
Like - he wasn't??

No, he was not interrogated. He opted to be represented by attorney.
It is called MIRANDA RIGHTS. It is United States law.

“You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”
my opinion only

Authorities remain tight-lipped about the alleged motive in the attack. They have not publicly discussed the relationship between Kohberger and the victims. Kohberger's now-deleted Instagram account — which was viewed by PEOPLE before it was removed — followed the accounts of Mogen, Gonclaves and Kernodle, but there was no public interaction.

IMO, a LE officer or some other official person is not going to use phrasing like "He slid into one of the girls' DMs". JMO

IKR! It's making me extremely uncomfortable to think that anyone other than LE has access to these young ladies private Instagram messages. Did the PI hack their accounts? UGH

 

[Yuletide]

I think the gag order is unfair.

JMO

I concur that it seems that way, but I’m ok with it because I can’t stomach the thought of a mistrial and seeing the faces of the family members of the victims. I want this man to have a fair and honest trial

 

[Cool Cats]

Are you familiar with the Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow upcoming trial in Idaho? The murders of her children (among others) was hugely publicized, much like this case (tons of media + many Dateline specials, etc.). They've moved the venue to Ada County in order to find an impartial jury. That's why I think it could happen with BCK's case, too.

Been awhile since I checked on that Case, thanks. You are right, if that high profile trial was moved maybe BK's will be moved, I believe the judge in the Case decides.

 

[Sjöberg]

DoorDash sends a text immediately upon drop off at door. The police have this text time.

IMO they would have received an accurate (to a miunte or two) time of food drop off from that driver. I think the approximate in this case may relate to when XK collected the DD from the front step.

Yes, you're both correct. I just think that LE does not want to state the exact time in the PCA. There is no benefit in doing so, while there might a benefit of not doing so - given, that the DD driver might have been a witness to, say, a white Elantra. Or anything else useful. And BK might or might not have been witness to the DD. So I just keep my mind open for future surprises.

 

[Mad Hettie]

Right.

I find reasons like "I did it because I needed to" or "I did it because I felt like it" to be very weak. A person who has insomnia and uses that as a reason to go 10 miles away to one specific neighborhood, where there is a specific house - where they will eventually break in and leave a knife sheath and kill 4 people - is not giving enough of a reason for being there if it's just, "I couldn't sleep."

Everyone and their brother would call that bull.

Fortunately, if all goes well, we will never hear him give his "reasons," as I doubt he'll take the stand. I do wonder if his attorney would allow it in the penalty phase though (I bet he'll come across as Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs if he does).

I don't think they were saying he would use that as his reason to murder. Instead, they were saying they were saying he would say it was a normal routine for him to be up in the middle of the night, sometimes cleaning and sometimes going for a drive.

 

[CSIDreamer]

The Tapatalk posts that I do believe belong to him state he has struggled with insomnia for years. His neighbors have also stated he was up all night, walking around vacuuming and running the garbage disposal at strange hours, it makes sense for him to be awake at that hour and his defense could easily say he just wanted to get out of the house.

I dunno why but that "running the garbage disposal" just strikes me as a useless fact. Why say that? Was he running it for insane periods of time? JMHO

<modsnip> if this is true, then it's the first "confirmation" I've heard of.

am I the only one who immediately blocks people that pop in repeatedly with hello etc?

 

[SRWCF]

JMO

The gag order protects both sides in this case.

 

[wary]

am I the only one who immediately blocks people that pop in repeatedly with hello etc?

No you aren’t! However, if they had a personal spam file—I’m not familiar with Instagram—maybe they’d just send the messages there—maybe it’d be easier.

 

[indicolite22]

NOT legal. He already made it clear to remain silent and hire an attorney who will speak on his behalf.

His PA lawyer told the media that BK talked to LE for about 10 minutes before requesting an attorney. Later BK allegedly couldn't remember what he told police. The lawyer stated that he stopped BK repeatedly from telling him his version.

I wouldn't consider friends or family investigative sources.

You might be surprised. Source: I work in media.

Apparently, he waived his Miranda rights for a short period of time and then asked for an attorney.

Bryan Kohberger Initially Agreed to Speak to Law Enforcement, Then Invoked Right to Counsel: Lawyer

LaBar said Kohberger told him that police asked his client if he understood what was going on, and he responded by saying something to the effect of “yes, certainly I’m aware of what’s going on. I’m 10 miles away from this.” Then, LaBar said, Kohberger invoked his right to counsel and asked for an attorney.

Alternatively in the Delphi case, the trial won't be moved but the jury will be picked from another county.

No you aren’t! However, if they had a personal spam file—I’m not familiar with Instagram—maybe they’d just send the messages there—maybe it’d be easier.

I have a closed (invite-only) insta. <modsnip> If you message someone who doesn't follow you, your message goes into their request folder. I check my request folder every few months because a message from a friend wouldn't show up there; it would be in my regular messages.
