GUILTY PLEA DEAL ACCEPTED - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #114

[Warwick7]

It tears me up to imagine Hunter seeing that house every day.
That house literally bled Ethan’s blood down the outside wall, how horrific is that!

I think the house stood too long. Once evidence was collected it should have been torn down.
They boarded it up, put a fence around it but its location and height meant it was visible.

IMO

This is how I feel.

Just realized there's a full video released of Aug. 2022 traffic stop.


Body camera video released from Bryan Kohberger traffic stop 3 months before the murders -- he was pulled over for speeding in Latah County, Idaho.

If he appeals can they still go for the death penalty?

Yes that's what I heard Kevin say. I just meant that if lead prosecutor can't recall the book they must have decided it wasn't of much value to them at trial.

Only other alternative is BT is very forgetful or not over the detail so I'll have to assume they'd deemed it to be minor value in arguing their case.

I really want to know now, so looking forward to seeing what the newshounds track down

I agree—the fact that Thompson didn’t know off-hand the identity of the underlined book indicates it wasn’t crucial evidence for trial. I, like you, though, really want to know!

Ok, now I'm confused.

I haven't read any where that DM and XK knew that Maddie and Kaylee were sleeping in Maddie's bedroom.

We've read DM, BF, KG, and MM went to KG's room to hangout. And KG was getting ready for bed.

We also know BF and MM took Murphy out to go potty. When they came in Bethany went to her cupboard and grabbed a bag of chips went to her room and on her iPad watched Baby Daddy on Hulu. Maddie came down stairs and asked her if Murphy was with her/she couldn't find him. Told her no. She shut everything off, locked her door, and went to bed.

DM went to her room.

Actually it sounds like KG started out in her own bed, then later went into MM's room.

So, no, It doesn't sound like DM and XK knew that Maddie and Kaylee were sleeping in Maddie's bedroom.

We know that Xana had ordered food, true. But we don't know that she put the packaging in the kitchen. We can't see the date on it. There is so much crap in that kitchen we have no idea how long that sack was there.

Yes, that sack could be from that night. It could also be from another night. Her sack could have been in her bedroom. We just don't have time/date from the sack in the kitchen. Not yet anyway.

Kaylee didn't live there anymore. She wouldn't have sheets on the bed in the bedroom that she formerly rented.

If not in Maddie's room, where would Kaylee sleep? Didn't we read that (per her family) her things were covered in blood, meaning that her travel bag was in Maddie's room?

If not Xana who put the food packaging from her 4 AM food order in the kitchen, then who? Certainly not the murderer. If the food packaging in the kitchen was not from that night, then Xana heard noise from Maddie and Kaylee when she was in her bedroom. She left her bedroom and walked to the stairs next to the kitchen. She called out. Kohberger went after her.

The scale model easily illustrates where everyone was at the time of the murders. Xana was outside of her bedroom when Kohberger discovered that she was awake.

Finally caught up here, and nearly done reading through the released files.
I wrote a few things down as I was going through the files, one question answered (the IDs), others not.

One thing I wonder about is who was the thumbs up grotesque selfie for? Himself or his family, as someone had written that perhaps the shirt was a b'day gift from them and he was showing mom how it fit.

Another thing is as we are presently discussing, the underline in a book pg 118. A person will usually only underline in a book something which is important to them.

Was the shoe print seen with Amido black #163214's? I wonder if it could have been HJ's after he went upstairs and checked pulses.

In the files #206 Brett Payne wrote about items he photographed in the trunk of the Elantra. One item was Cartman brand red road triangles. People leaving reviews state they put them on campers, horse trailers, big trucks. I see them on Amish buggies and farm equipment where I live. Is this a common item for people to have in their trunk in case of a breakdown? I thought maybe the inmate bought them to place behind his car while he was burying his kill kit. Wouldn't be good if someone didn't see his car parked on the side of the road and hit it. How would he explain a bloody KaBar?

Last, in #208 Payne detailed their purchase of the identical items from Amazon that the murderer purchased, specifically the knife/sheath and sharpener. Then in #210 Payne wrote that he brought the knife in a lock box to the medical examiner to determine if that type knife could cause the wounds on the victims. It could. So I just want to applaud Law Enforcement's efforts in solving this case. I thought this was brilliant. And it also answers the question I had about the time in court when the Judge or BT,I can't remember who it was, referenced a knife in a box; I wondered if they had found the knife and we just didn't know about it.

In the documents is says KG's sheets were pulled back. The documenting officers state it looked like KG started out in her own bed then went to MM's.

My take, is that she wanted to enlist MM's help in calling and texting Jake. As a matter of fact when we compare times, calls and texts----we know MM called (or text now I can't remember) BF. M00 is she was seeing if BF would call Jake. Maybe he would pick up if a different number called him.

Seeing that KG wanted Jake to come over they would have stayed in her room.

Again my own opinion but I think KG and MM shared alot of things back and forth. That being said, M00 there were her things in MM's room that ended up all bloody.

I'm sure Xana put that sack in the kitchen. Just not sure when. That kitchen counter was a stock pile for everything. My point is we have discussed many times that we don't have a particular time stamp or date stamp from that sack. Either we can't see it or it's not there.

M00 I think there was alot of DD deliveries. Yes, it could very well be the sack from that night. Or it could have been from a different day. Until more documents are released we may not know that answer. And if I'm not mistaken that was brought out either in a docuseries or interview.

Good sleuthing there. I'm sure all that came when he registered his car plates from PA to WA 5 days after the murders, even a brand new WA license with Pullman address.

Oddly enough, no. He registered to vote in WA on 7/1/22.

Interesting, thank you for posting, I’d not see this.
His tendency to want to ask question and be a bit of a turd are consistent with how he behaved with the other female cop, I think.

Any idea the time of day, or location?

IMO

@MeadowMuffin , Bravo for getting through them

re

One thing I wonder about is who was the thumbs up grotesque selfie for? Himself or his family, as someone had written that perhaps the shirt was a b'day gift from them and he was showing mom how it fit.

We found out from LE ( Gilbertson) yesterday that he had a regular habit of taking selfies. They found a ton of them on his phone. ( Another problem for the Prosecution, it wasn't just taking a selfie that morning) Interviewer didn't follow up iirc - so who did he send these too?
@Warwick7 might remember which clip, woman interviewer, name beginning J?

re Cartman brand red road triangles.
Was that within the series of purchases he'd made in case he had a tyre flat? I'd wondered if he was going to fake replacing a tyre as an excuse to park up somewhere but in some rural places that means locals will stop and offer help so might be self-defeating. ( They do that where we live)

otoh that might fit @otto 's abduction theory better

Kaylee didn't live there anymore. She wouldn't have sheets on the bed in the bedroom that she formerly rented.

SBM

According to Supp 51 of the Moscow Police investigation documents, Kaylee’s bed did have sheets, and she appeared to have used the bed in the hours before the murders:


According to ABC News, though:

The bodies of Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen were together in a bed covered in a pink blanket that was "covered in blood," a report said.

Bill Thompson himself addressed this in his hour-long interview with The Idaho Stateman investigative reporter Kevin Fixler, which Fixler recounts in a Courtroom Confidential video. Here’s my summary that I posted previously:

• Referring to the fact that the sheets were pulled back on Kaylee’s bed, Fixer asked Thompson if it’s possible that Kaylee was sleeping in her own room and then went into Maddie‘s room after hearing the commotion. Thompson said that is not what his observation of the scene showed. Both girls were underneath the covers in Maddie’s bed, in their pajamas (indicating they were both in the bed when the murderer entered Maddie’s room).

So Kaylee may have started out in her own bed, but she apparently fell asleep in Maddie’s bed before the two were brutally murdered (perhaps after attempting to reach her ex-boyfriend by phone with Maddie).

IMO

ETA: Sorry, @Warwick7, for duplicating what you posted. I responded to the post because it addressed things I had posted about before, but then it took me a long time to find the links. You posted your response while I was still composing mine. This happens more frequently than I like, so I think I’ll take a break from posting and focus on sleeping more with the remainder of my break.

I am just jumping off here because you mentioned the food sack. While I am not a DD type of person, when I was in college I was definitely a JITB person. The tacos were cheap eats. (Taco Bell was a favorite as well) The bags either ended up in my car or the kitchen table or the kitchen counter until such time as I got around to cleaning them up (or someone else got the cleaning bug) usually the next day, but during busy times they'd stay a week. Strangely, the contents were usually gone and trashed, but the bag remained (I think because I thought I'd use it for something else.) My car could get pretty bad in a week because the food packaging was always in the bag if I ate in there. If I didn't have any spare hands, then the bag(s) remained in the car until I did have spare hands on exit.

While I, personally, believe that is the DD bag from that night and I also believe it was moved around by investigators, I don't rule out that that particular bag could have been from another day because my life experience is not a neat and orderly one. I don't, however, think Xana placed the bag behind the sink. That is a crazy place to put a paper bag, unless there was no room in the trash can (possible).

 

[Ellis' Mom]

If I recall correctly, the 1st floor was originally a porch. It was enclosed. The third floor was added on.

And there was some weird construction to get the 4 bedrooms, baths, and closets to work. That's why the blood leaked out of Xana's room down the side of the house. They had to build it to fit around the existing structure.

I'd like to know the story behind the condemnation of the house and who owns the property now.

Per Latah Co. GIS, the property is owned by the University:

MOO the bag the kitchen is just old. From another day.

 

[LinasK]

The number of cases where juries visit the actual crime scenes is vanishingly small. In reality, most crime scenes are released within hours, days at most, and are sanitised of the evidence of crime, either by cleaning and remodeling or by the extreme of demolition. In this case, the demolition was agreed upon after all items of evidentiary value were documented and recovered from the home. The house itself was toxic with biological materials from the homicides and chemicals from the crime scene processing. Jury members would have had to wear protective gear to enter, and the house itself was very changed from the night of the crime.

The only crime I can recall a jury actually visiting the scene in recent years was Murdaugh, which was an outdoor scene.

MOO

The jury toured OJ's house- although that wasn't where he committed the murders.

 

[zachs mema]

This paragraph could have possibly caught BK's attention:

Author was discussing vulnerabilities of T. Bundy's victims
Page 118 Ann Rule's Ted Bundy book The Stranger Beside Me. [First Edition]

Had the man who approached these young women divined somehow that he had come upon his victims at a time when they were particularly vulnerable, where they were not thinking as clearly as they usually did? It would almost seem so. The stalking, predatory animal cuts the weakest from the pack and then kills at his leisure.

That is good to hear! I had hoped that it was included in the plea deal, but maybe that's not possible.

I've just got to the end of the Idaho Statesman reporter Q & A and even they said they would interview him! SMH

It's at the end of the Q& A if anyone wants to hear the flimsy justification. It was a reader question
