GUILTY PLEA DEAL ACCEPTED - 4 Univ of Idaho Students Murdered, Bryan Kohberger Arrested, Moscow, Nov 2022 #116

Um, in CA you now need to scan your Costco card when you walk in the door (even just for prescriptions or alcohol- never gotten an eye exam there), but you can have a guest with you. I get in with my husband's card because I gave mine to my daughter in Oregon. Our Costco is only a year old.

Sounds like you're a CostCo member so you'd need to scan your card. What I was saying is that non-members can enter the store, obviously without a member card, if they state they are picking up a prescription. They just wave me in and I hold up my prescription bag with the receipt stapled to it on my way out. I don't even need to stop.

I doubt if he'd wear brass knuckles into Costco.

I doubt if he'd wear brass knuckles into Costco.

I'm confused about the timeline here, are they trying to say it was immediately after? Because I also doubt if any stores are open at 4:30 Sunday morning. The next day? Some random date after the murders?

No, Costco typically doesn't open until 9 or 10 in the morning. They aren't 24/7 and they close about 8pm.

Thank you all for explaining

I have never heard of this kind of verification and it is good to know.

I also think that it is the most probable explanation of the photos in question.

LinkedIn uses a service called CLEAR to verify your identity in order to become a verified user. You have to take a selfie and then take a phone of a government issued ID and they compare the selfie to the ID to see if you are who your ID says you are.

An Idaho state judge is blocking the release of some graphic photos taken by investigators after Bryan Kohberger killed four University of Idaho students in 2022, ruling that the release would cause "extreme emotional distress" for the victims' families and that it "outweighs the public's interest in how the investigation was conducted or the scrutiny upon government action."

Second District Judge Megan Marshall made the ruling Wednesday, saying the dissemination of "incredibly disturbing" photos across the internet — where the victims' families might inadvertently see them — is an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

She ordered the city of Moscow to black out portions of the images that show any portion of the victims' bodies or the blood immediately surrounding them.

But the judge said the public also has an interest in seeing investigation records, and so other photos, videos and documents connected to the case can be released, including videos showing distraught friends of the victims on the morning their bodies were found.

We had a lot of people question the truth of our story from 2023 that Bryan Kohberger had been terminated from his WSU position before his arrest.

Today, in the new records posted by police, investigators finally confirm the details.

Dylan Mortenson's 11/13 Interview with Detective Mowery.

My Substack is about true crime.

thedocket71.substack.com

10:10 She describes what BK was holding, she "didn't think it was a gun but now I'm thinking probably it was a gun" but then describes something with a cylinder out front (with something that goes out sideways). She said like a mini vacuum. Used her hands. Based on those two things (sized like a gun and with an arrow, word supplied by the detective), I think he was holding the knife. Not wrapped in anything. Just holding it.

I'm not sure where the descriptor of a canister came from but IMO she was describing something much smaller in this interview than I had been picturing. We've been talking about a handheld vacuum but she said like a "mini vacuum"... mini handheld vacuum, is how I take that. She didn't know her friends had been stabbed, had no context for a knife, but after listening to this interview, her description is consistent with a Kbar, the way he's holding it is consistent with a Kbar and the size of what she describes is consistent with Kbar.

JMO If he's was wielding the Kbar as he exited the home, he may not have been aware he'd left the sheath behind. Unless he intended to leave it behind, I wonder when he realized he didn't have it. It's possible that, when he stripped out of his kill suit, he bundled the knife up in it and didn't know he didn't have it until he heard about it, same way we did.

If you watch DM describe what he was holding (in the interview posted above), she is describing something exactly the size of a Kbar. A cylinder (not canister). She's looking for the words but her hands draw it. A blade with a hilt.

Thank you for sharing that @arielilane ….. I find that quite interesting and IMO troubling.

And if that is the case, his having been terminated, IMO maybe he was aware of this to come, and one might infer / conclude that the slayings were in some way retribution for the possible action by the school authorities? A way possibly IMO to lash out at the profession and professionals that he so wanted to be a part of?

Add to this….. the video image captured of his standing in some store shortly after the attacks IIUC, almost looking with an odd intent, stare, glare, or a dare at something or someone? Maybe sizing up something else? MOO

If you study serial killers, there is almost always what's called a "precipitating stressor" prior to their first crime. It's a negative life event that triggers them into turning fantasy into reality. He's not by definition a serial killer, but I think that's only because he didn't have the opportunity to get that far.

It can be anything really, from relationship issues to financial trouble. Here, Kohberger's very future was in jeopardy, as if he lost his TA position he'd lose his scholarship, and thus, his ability to remain in the program.
