ID - 4 University of Idaho Students Murdered - Bryan Kohberger Arrested - Moscow # 44

[happyday]

Just did 1500 miles with my son.
Here's why a parent does that. I will qualify that these are unique and may not translate BK.
- He has a large dog that can't fly (I'll admit, that if it weren't for the dog) flying would be a better choice.
- He has no credit card. Loans and TA pay won't cover hotels and gas. This
- I would worry about any family member traveling over the mountains in the winter storms alone.
- I drive up to 60K miles a year for work, long drive are no big deal for me
- wanted to see his apartment, and grad school office.
- time to hang out
- I love checking out good food in college towns.
- Love to drive, I spend the entire airplane trips wishing I was on the ground in remote areas of the west instead of flying over them.

I do believe that BK was probably trying to get a hot car out of the area and probably did not have a pet traveling. IMO the car was identified a few weeks into the case, he may have thought it was all they had to go on and if it wasn't in the general area he was safe. Someone in Pullman probably would have ID'ed the car. 2500 miles away, nobody would notice.

Oh I agree! I would do what you did for my girls in a heartbeat. It’s not that. It’s that he drove home at all instead of flying. Especially if it inconvenienced his dad that much. Because let’s face it—it IS a hassle. Not to mention way more expensive, dangerous and exhausting. If my girls had wanted to drive home that far for just a few weeks, I would have said, yeah here’s a round trip plane ticket—you are NOT driving that far in the winter, and it’s way cheaper for you to fly than for me to fly and then accompany you.
I think the main thing for me is that his choice to drive instead of fly tells me a lot. It screams, I did it, they‘re looking for my car and I have to get it out of here. My guess is he insisted on driving, and perhaps his dad reluctantly flew to do it with him because he refused to leave the car. Tells me a lot. It has nothing to do with a parent helping their child. That’s just a caring parent.

He may be extremely BOOK SMART but might lack all common sense and I am here for it!

Yes, that is my thought too, and that ‘intelligence’ is their Kryptonite. They don’t know the difference between book learning and real world learning.

How smoothly could You drive a standard sports car having prepared with books and videos?
I’m not handing You my car keys! Just saying

Where would the nearest airport be to Pullman for a long-haul flight? Could it be in Idaho? I'm in Europe and I have no idea, which is why I'm asking.

Folks on this thread more local than I (I'm in California) say he probably flew into Spokane, WA as the nearest larger airport.

And even if he flew into the tiny airport that directly serves Pullman and Moscow, that's located on the Washington side as well.

I think his father flying out to accompany Bryan on a lengthy, multiple day road trip back to PA is very normal. People do this for safety reasons. For all we know, Bryan could have acted completely normal on the drive back home. People are not mind-readers. JMO.

Its very normal. Two drivers, company, etc. I personally like road trips, so doing one with my adult child would be a great bonding time.

Happy New Year!!

And a safe, healthy, prosperous and happy 2023 new year to you and all members from 41 floors up in Toronto, Ontario Canada

Does anyone remember when the information about the white Elantra was released? I can't find when it originated on a Google search because it's all saturated with the arrest. The suspect was in PA on 12/16. Was that before or after LE released the information?

Does anyone else find BRIAN CHRISTOPHER LAUNDRIE and BRYAN CHRISTOPHER KOHBERGER a bit strange?
Just odd that I find myself following two high-profile cases within the year with the same first and middle names. Is it a common combo?
Don't worry I'm NOT implying a conspiracy just odd that is all.

I've been likewise wondering how reporter BRIAN Entin feels about his two breakout major reporting cases!

(and now jokingly curious about Entin's middle name)

 

[pittsburghgirl]

Why would it take a week do you imagine?
He's happy to go, hold an emergency court session, chuck him in a wagon and zip up that highway fast as lightening .
While he is still stunned.

There is a legal process that involves warrants. The governors of the two states are the executives that handle extradition or rendition (returing the fugitive). In PA, there is no governor’s hearing required but the governor of Idaho will have to send the required warrants and other paperwork to the governor of PA. The warrants will be reviewed, a hearing will be held, and BK will be on his way to Idaho. Not following the law would mean a suspect may go free.

Here is the flowchart for the extradition/rendition process.

Does anyone recall what day, shortly after the murders, where 4 plainclothes detectives showed up at the house and it was reported the car they drove up in had Washington plates. Anyone have a link to the news article? Thx.

This thread is moving fast, so you may already have an answer, but here is the tweet from News Nation's twitter thread addressing this:

[Fascinated1]

I wonder if anyone actually responded to BK's online survey? Thinking if he had any responses he could have made a playbook in advance in order to plan out potential personal reactions and his idea of how to combat them. JMO

IDK if anyone else said this, the threads are going too fast for me to keep up with my work schedule lately but my question is.... how on earth did HIS parents of all people, hear about this crime, know the police are looking for the exact car your son drives and that your son lives 15 mins from the crime scene... and now he's coming home and needed Dad to help him on the long drive WHILE THE SEARCH IS ON FOR HIS CAR and his parents NEVER thought THAT was suspicious!? That is what's suspicious to me and I'm feeling like they may have been helping or assisting even if just a tad bit to keep him safe. Giving me flashbacks of how the Laundries had more info than they let on too.

Perhaps that why he asked if anyone else had been arrested. We don’t know what the parents knew. Maybe they had not been following the case like everyone here has been….

 

[Copper107]

I know it's probably insignificant, but I'm irked by the multiple MSM reports (the ones I've seen were from CNN) quoting LaBar as saying BK's dad flew out "to Idaho" and the two of them drove "from Idaho" back to Pennsylvania.

BK lived in Washington, not Idaho. Of course Pullman is very close to the border, and the crimes were committed in Idaho, so this is an understandable goof and it could have been a CNN journalist's mistake just as easily as a LaBar mistake, but in an important legal case all details matter, so, argh. MOO

This is the airport he probably landed at, IMO. As you can see it services both Washington and Idaho. It is the Pullman/Moscow Regional Airport.

Intelligent search from Bing makes it easier to quickly find what you’re looking for and rewards you.

Totally agree.

Just look at Richard Allen in the Delphi murders. He seemingly hid in plain sight, working in the local CVS (where he interacted with victims' families, members of LE, and everyone else). Same for Ted Bundy matching descriptions and friends/coworkers joking with him about it.

I think it's easy for others to **not** pick up on things. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback and have the benefit of reading the extensive info here, having the benefit of hindsight, etc. But the reality is that stuff goes unnoticed, people ignore little twinges (like feeling like something is "off"), and more.

MOO.

Where would the nearest airport be to Pullman for a long-haul flight? Could it be in Idaho? I'm in Europe and I have no idea, which is why I'm asking.

The nearest international airport is in Spokane, WA. There are multiple regional airports near the Pullman-Moscow area, including the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport and the Lewiston–Nez Perce County Airport. Potential options would depend on what airline was being flown by the suspect's father. While most major airlines have flights to larger airports like Spokane International Airport, the regional airports are much more limited. For example, while United, Delta and SkyWest service Lewiston–Nez Perce County Airport, Horizon Air (under the umbrella of Alaska Airlines) is the ONLY commercial airline serving Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport. We'd have to know the airline his father flew in on to ascertain which airport he actually flew into. I feel sure the police and FBI have all that information.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 7, 2022

 

[CSIDreamer]

A close relative is a LEO and has often escorted prisoners on a plane from one state to another

Lori Vallow was flown from Hawaii to Idaho starting with a late night commercial flight to LA, if I remember correctly. Then to Idaho. Hopefully they avoid Southwest Airlines. JMO

 

[Sundog]

I’ve taught for over 30 years, background checked many times, never once have I been fingerprinted

JMO

Depends on the state. I think most states require fingerprinting for K-12 teachers and other employees. Some states require fingerprinting for college and university faculty and other employees as well. California, for example, required fingerprinting for university faculty and other employees when I worked there earlier in my career. In the state I live in now, the state does not require fingerprinting at universities. Unless doing research that involves minors.

Incase I missed it being posted:

Bryan Kohberger stalked Idaho victims before murders, wore gloves in grocery store weeks afterward: report

Cellphone data shows that Bryan Kohberger, 28, was often in the same location as his victims before he allegedly slashed them to death, a source told The Daily Mail.

[sleuther123]

Seems like 6/7 Dec --> phone call to parents --> Dad books flight --> Dad flies to PUW, via BOI or SEA --> they drive back together --> in PA by 16 Dec (when they were seen at the mechanic) fits.

He was sitting comfortably until the car was announced. OR he just carried on as usual, with the term ending on 9 December, and the trip back with the car and Dad accompanying him was already planned.

There are two regional airports near Pullman -- located in WA and ID each but most travelers will use Spokane Int'l Airport serviced by most airlines. Flying from PA, my bet would be dad flew to Spokane.
