1
00:00:01.879 --> 00:00:05.960
<v Speaker 1>What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. Whenever

2
00:00:06.000 --> 00:00:09.279
<v Speaker 1>there's a case like this, I'm always fascinated by the

3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>portion of it that has to do with surveillance. You

4
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:18.359
<v Speaker 1>have these investigators who sit on these perpetrators and they

5
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:22.879
<v Speaker 1>continuously watch them. They're following their movements, They're tracking their movements,

6
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>they're following their phone calls or emails, and all at

7
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>the same time, the suspect is not aware that this

8
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>is even happening. So the people who are involved in

9
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.679
<v Speaker 1>these surveillance operations are the best of the best when

10
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>it comes to this. And as critical as I am

11
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.920
<v Speaker 1>of the FBI, and boy do they deserve it, they

12
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>are great when it comes to surveillance and putting together

13
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>cases such as this, And if they would stick to

14
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>this kind of thing, the FBI would be on a

15
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>pathway to rebuilding their credibility because this is where the

16
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 1>agency excels. This is where the agency has has always

17
00:01:00.799 --> 00:01:05.680
<v Speaker 1>excelled surveillance, collecting data and then utilizing all of that

18
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>intelligence to not only build a case, but make an arrest.

19
00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:11.359
<v Speaker 1>And that's what we see in here. And today we

20
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>have an article from Newsweek discussing how surveillance helped catch

21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Brian Coburger. So let's dive in headline how police surveillance

22
00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 1>helped catch Idaho murder suspect Brian Coburger. This article was

23
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:35.400
<v Speaker 1>authored by Kalida Rockman. Police reportedly surveiled the man accused

24
00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of the November slayings of four University of Idaho students

25
00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 1>as he traveled across the country in Pennsylvania before swooping

26
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.799
<v Speaker 1>in to make an after dark arrest. So they followed

27
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:50.400
<v Speaker 1>him all the way across the country, according to these reports,

28
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.879
<v Speaker 1>and that must have taken a serious amount of logistics

29
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>to do something like that. It's one thing to follow

30
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.519
<v Speaker 1>somebody around in town. It's a whole nother ball of

31
00:01:59.519 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>wax to do that across the country. Brian Cohberger, a

32
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight year old PhD student and teaching assistant in

33
00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology at Washington State University,

34
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>was arrested at his parents' home in all Brightsville, Pennsylvania,

35
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:21.719
<v Speaker 1>on Friday. Authorities in Idaho have said they believe Coburger

36
00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:25.719
<v Speaker 1>broke into the victim's rental home in Moscow intending to

37
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.439
<v Speaker 1>commit murder. And once again, you see that's the premeditation there,

38
00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:31.879
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to keep pointing that out because the

39
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>robbery charge is for that purpose, to make sure that

40
00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:42.319
<v Speaker 1>they get that premeditation. Kaylee Gonsalves, Madison Mogan, Xaniker Nodle,

41
00:02:42.520 --> 00:02:46.840
<v Speaker 1>and Ethan Chapin were found stabbed to death on November thirteenth.

42
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>The killings rocked the rural town and the community remained

43
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on edge as weeks went by without a suspect being arrested.

44
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>And of course the community is going to be on edge.

45
00:02:57.199 --> 00:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>No suspect arrested for murdered college student. Nobody knows who

46
00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:05.159
<v Speaker 1>the suspect is. Yeah, that's the recipe for a people

47
00:03:05.199 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>being a bit panicked. Police honed in on Coburger as

48
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:14.800
<v Speaker 1>a suspect in the slayings through DNA by using public

49
00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>genealogy databases. ABC News reported, citing law enforcement sources. According

50
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:24.159
<v Speaker 1>to the outlet, local police in the FBI tracked Coburger

51
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>to Pennsylvania through his vehicle, a white Hondai Lantra, the

52
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>same model that the Moscow police said had been seen

53
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>near the home around the time of the killings. So

54
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>that's interesting. I wonder how they did that. Probably somebody

55
00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>put a GPS underneath the car or on the car somewhere,

56
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:44.599
<v Speaker 1>and that allowed the police to follow them. I'm not

57
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>really too sure how they'd be able to do this

58
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>across the country without having some sort of GPS device

59
00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>implanted in the vehicle. And don't think that they're not

60
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>capable of doing that. They are, especially the Organized Crime

61
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:00.599
<v Speaker 1>Task Force, And my guess is they have counter intelligence

62
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:03.560
<v Speaker 1>agents working with the FBI who can step in and

63
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.439
<v Speaker 1>assist here to make sure that this vehicle is tracked

64
00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 1>in the proper manner. Coburger drove some twenty five hundred

65
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>miles across the country with his father in mid December

66
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to spend the holidays with his family. Jason Lebar, the

67
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:22.519
<v Speaker 1>chief public Defender in Monroe County representing Coburger, has said

68
00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.279
<v Speaker 1>at a news conference on Tuesday, Pennsylvania State Police Major

69
00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Christopher Paris said troopers with the agency's Bureau of Criminal

70
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Investigation were called by the FBI to assist with surveillance

71
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>on Coburger before his arrest. So once they found out

72
00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 1>where he was, they called the local office of the

73
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>FBI the police to come and sit on them and

74
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.959
<v Speaker 1>wait for them to get the necessary documents, meaning warrants

75
00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and the rest of it to make an arrest. So

76
00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:52.959
<v Speaker 1>they had them sitting on this house making sure that

77
00:04:53.120 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 1>Coburger didn't make a move or try to run or

78
00:04:56.240 --> 00:05:03.240
<v Speaker 1>go anywhere else, said investigators from Pennsylvania State Police Troop End.

79
00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.959
<v Speaker 1>Then began to collaborate with authorities in Idaho. And that's

80
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 1>how it'll work, especially with the FBI involved. Forget it.

81
00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:13.040
<v Speaker 1>The coordination should be on point, and if you want

82
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>to get the attention of agencies elsewhere, having the FBI

83
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>involved will certainly get them moving in the right direction.

84
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.199
<v Speaker 1>It was through this collaboration and the charges pending in Idaho,

85
00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:28.759
<v Speaker 1>and those troopers were able to obtain a search warrant

86
00:05:28.959 --> 00:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and a fugitive from Justice warrant that was prepared here

87
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in Monroe County, Paris said, And that all happens with

88
00:05:35.120 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>the coordination from Moscow into Paris County. So they would

89
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:42.639
<v Speaker 1>call down, they'd send over whatever, you know, charging documents

90
00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>or whatever they have, and then the arrest warrant would

91
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.319
<v Speaker 1>be issued by a judge in Pennsylvania, or i should

92
00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>say the search warrant issue, so it would be issued

93
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>by a judge down in Pennsylvania. And you see how

94
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:55.439
<v Speaker 1>this all has to be coordinated. It's not just an

95
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>easy thing, right. You have to worry about jurisdiction. You

96
00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:02.319
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about local rules and laws and ordinances.

97
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 1>So you have to make sure you're on your shit,

98
00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>and it certainly seems like the investigators from Moscow were

99
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.560
<v Speaker 1>on their game, Paris said. State police then began to

100
00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:17.519
<v Speaker 1>carry out Coburger's arrest, with the agency's Special Emergency Response

101
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:21.480
<v Speaker 1>Team taking the lead. Tactical assets then were staged in

102
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.839
<v Speaker 1>a Monroe County in the evening of Thursday, December twenty ninth,

103
00:06:25.079 --> 00:06:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and in the early hours of Friday, December thirtieth, those

104
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:32.879
<v Speaker 1>warrants were executed at the location. Paris said. Coburgers warn't

105
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:36.319
<v Speaker 1>merited and after dark arrest, Paris said, which requires a

106
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>higher standard of probable cause. And there's no doubt that

107
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>you have to have a higher standard to get this

108
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:46.519
<v Speaker 1>kind of search warrant because we've had so many issues

109
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:50.279
<v Speaker 1>with this sort of thing recently, especially that the government

110
00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:53.519
<v Speaker 1>is very cautious about handing this shit out at this point,

111
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>So whenever you see a raid like this, they're thinking

112
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>that the person that they're coming after or going after

113
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:03.279
<v Speaker 1>could be a violent person and could cause harm to

114
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>themselves or the officers engaging in the raid. So what

115
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.720
<v Speaker 1>they'll try and do is catch them unaware in the

116
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:12.319
<v Speaker 1>middle of the night where while they're sleeping three am,

117
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.360
<v Speaker 1>like we saw here at one am. Usually they'll kick

118
00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>in your door about six am. But when they want

119
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.079
<v Speaker 1>to come do something like this, they have to get

120
00:07:20.120 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>a special dispensation from the judge to make that happen.

121
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Surveillance was conducted and we wanted to go in at

122
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a time when we thought it would be safe. Is

123
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.000
<v Speaker 1>for everybody, he said, safest for anybody else in the house,

124
00:07:34.199 --> 00:07:38.319
<v Speaker 1>safest for mister Coburger, and safest for our people. And

125
00:07:38.360 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 1>you see this a lot with drug dealers as well.

126
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>If they're going to go after a violent drug dealer

127
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.680
<v Speaker 1>or something like that, they'll make sure it's at like

128
00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>one in the morning, two in the morning, three in

129
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the morning, and then a whole lass tactical team will

130
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:53.480
<v Speaker 1>come through your window. The tactical response team reviewed floor

131
00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.639
<v Speaker 1>plans of the home and broke multiple doors and windows

132
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>when they entered. Paris said. Coburger was arrested without incident

133
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.279
<v Speaker 1>and the scene was turned over to the FBI. He added.

134
00:08:05.079 --> 00:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>Andrew McKay, a former FBI Acting director, said Saturday that

135
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Coburger was on the radar of investigators before he left

136
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>for Pennsylvania. Oh, there's no doubt about that. They just

137
00:08:16.360 --> 00:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the probable cause. And my guess is when

138
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>they were following him, they picked up the DNA when

139
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 1>they were following him at some point, that's my guess,

140
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>and then they got that probable cause once they were

141
00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:30.759
<v Speaker 1>able to match the DNA. But there's no doubt that

142
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they were on Coburger long before he even left to

143
00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>go to Pennsylvania. The surveillance effort would have crossed multiple

144
00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:43.039
<v Speaker 1>FBI field divisions, McCabe said, would involve multiple surveillance teams

145
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.840
<v Speaker 1>who were following him in certain areas and handing them

146
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 1>off to new teams. He said, And I guess it's

147
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>just like in the city. That's how they do it.

148
00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>If they're following you in the city, he'll have one

149
00:08:52.159 --> 00:08:54.559
<v Speaker 1>agent follow you and then they'll get to a certain point,

150
00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.279
<v Speaker 1>they'll bounce off and the next person will pop in.

151
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And I guess that's what happened here. To keep it

152
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.759
<v Speaker 1>under wrapped, they just had people switching in and out

153
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>depending on what state Brian Coberger was in. So this

154
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.480
<v Speaker 1>is all fascinating to me, and it has to be

155
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:12.559
<v Speaker 1>a well oiled machine logistically for this to take place.

156
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>And it just goes to show that they were hard

157
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>at work behind the scenes even when we thought that

158
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.120
<v Speaker 1>maybe there was nothing there. So this investigation was growing

159
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.159
<v Speaker 1>and growing behind the scenes in Moscow while the public

160
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>and presumably Brian Koberger were none the wiser. So in retrospect,

161
00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:33.720
<v Speaker 1>when you look back on it, it was a master's

162
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:38.919
<v Speaker 1>stroke by the Moscow Police Department. Coburger's family home was

163
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:42.679
<v Speaker 1>probably under surveillance before he arrived in mid December, former

164
00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>FBI agent Tracy Walter set on News Nations Banfield, I

165
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>am certain that the FBI resident agency that is closest

166
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:54.399
<v Speaker 1>to his hometown in Pennsylvania was probably notified and probably

167
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>did some surveillance on his family home prior to Coburger

168
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>getting to his family home, told Ashley Banfield that way

169
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 1>they can know what they're walking into, have an idea

170
00:10:04.799 --> 00:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>of the lay of the land, where they should put

171
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.039
<v Speaker 1>the surveillance van and all of the tools that they're

172
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:13.600
<v Speaker 1>going to need to do surveillance on Brian Coberger. So

173
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 1>they have to do a bit of pre production before

174
00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:20.320
<v Speaker 1>all of that happens. Additionally, I think they also watched

175
00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:23.639
<v Speaker 1>Coburger as well as his activities, and I think from that,

176
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:27.679
<v Speaker 1>from surveilling his activities, they were able to really focus

177
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>in on the fact that he was a suspect, especially

178
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>when the lookout came out for the white HOUNDAI and

179
00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:37.720
<v Speaker 1>he happened to have one. So again the Alantra being

180
00:10:37.759 --> 00:10:41.279
<v Speaker 1>a big cause of pain and suffering for Brian Cohberger

181
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.000
<v Speaker 1>and his defense moving forward. Remember it was this Alantra

182
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.080
<v Speaker 1>that sparked the whole entire basically countrywide investigation for these

183
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>models of vehicle. So Brian Coberger with this vehicle and

184
00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:58.399
<v Speaker 1>then with his actions after being surveilled, the police, well,

185
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>they thought they had their guy, and after all was

186
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>said and done and the investigation took place, according to them,

187
00:11:06.759 --> 00:11:11.759
<v Speaker 1>they were on the money. Coburger on Tuesday, agreed to

188
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:15.759
<v Speaker 1>be extradited from Pennsylvania to face charges in Idaho. Labar,

189
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 1>who only represented Coburger over the extradition, has said his

190
00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:23.080
<v Speaker 1>client was eager to be exonerated. The suspect wants in

191
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Idaho is to be represented by Kootenay County chief public

192
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.759
<v Speaker 1>defender and Taylor. Newsweek has contacted her for a comment.

193
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.159
<v Speaker 1>More details about the case are expected to be released

194
00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>when an affidavid is unsealed after Coburger arrives in Idaho. However,

195
00:11:40.840 --> 00:11:44.519
<v Speaker 1>an Idaho magistrate judge on Tuesday evening issued a so

196
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 1>called gag order barring attorneys, law enforcement personnel, investigators, and

197
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 1>others involved in the case from talking publicly about it

198
00:11:53.799 --> 00:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>outside of court. Due to this court order, the Moscow

199
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Police Department will no longer be communicated with the public

200
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.600
<v Speaker 1>or the media regarding this case, the police department said

201
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 1>in a news release on Tuesday. So with the gag

202
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 1>order in place, the Moscow Police Department will no longer

203
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.879
<v Speaker 1>be doing the updates or anything like that. But I

204
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.480
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's needed at this point. Their part in

205
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 1>this is done. They're the ones who got the arrest,

206
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.159
<v Speaker 1>They did the investigation. Now they hand it off to

207
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the prosecutors, and now it's the prosecutor's turn to do

208
00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:31.279
<v Speaker 1>their job and turn this indictment into a conviction. All right, folks,

209
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for this one. If you'd like

215
00:12:52.720 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>description box. Everyone, and welcome back to the program. As

216
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.120
<v Speaker 1>investigators continue to look for the white Hondaei Alantra, we're

217
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:07.720
<v Speaker 1>hearing a little bit more about what they're doing as

218
00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:11.519
<v Speaker 1>far as tracking down leads now. According to a report

219
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:16.000
<v Speaker 1>from Fox News, investigators have traveled at least twenty four

220
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:20.519
<v Speaker 1>miles to collect surveillance video related to these killings. So

221
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 1>they've been going to areas around Moscow, little town, stuff

222
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:30.399
<v Speaker 1>like that, looking for other surveillance video, other evidence of

223
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.039
<v Speaker 1>what happened here. And that's certainly reassuring. But my question is,

224
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>how did they miss that gas station where the clerk

225
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>came forward to provide information. I would think that something

226
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:43.240
<v Speaker 1>like a gas station would be one of the first

227
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>places they would hit trying to get this surveillance. And

228
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.679
<v Speaker 1>then we hear that they got surveillance from private residence

229
00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>right after the day after, So it just makes you

230
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.519
<v Speaker 1>shake your head. How is it that they missed this

231
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:59.399
<v Speaker 1>gas station? But we're looking twenty four miles away. So

232
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:04.200
<v Speaker 1>today's ourle is from Fox News headline Idaho murders. Investigators

233
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:07.559
<v Speaker 1>traveled at least twenty four miles to collect surveillance video

234
00:14:07.879 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 1>related to the killings. Fox News confirmed investigators requested recovered

235
00:14:13.559 --> 00:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>surveillance footage from several businesses in and around the Moscow

236
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.879
<v Speaker 1>This article was authored by Matt Finn and John Ruhle.

237
00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:28.279
<v Speaker 1>Now it seems like they're relying on these businesses to

238
00:14:28.320 --> 00:14:32.200
<v Speaker 1>come forward with the surveillance footage. I would think that

239
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the day of the discovery of the bodies, that they

240
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.879
<v Speaker 1>would have sent investigators around to these businesses to collect

241
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>all of it right then. But if you're waiting on

242
00:14:42.480 --> 00:14:45.320
<v Speaker 1>collecting it and it's taking you some time, there's a

243
00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>chance that the evidence goes away. Videos get deleted. Surveillance videos,

244
00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they record over themselves, so there's always the

245
00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 1>chance that something is missed if this isn't canvassed right away.

246
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Fox News has learned investigators traveled at least twenty four

247
00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.639
<v Speaker 1>miles to the east of Moscow, Idaho, to the nearby

248
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.840
<v Speaker 1>towns of Troy and Kendrick to acquire surveillance video in

249
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>relation to the quadruple homicide of four University of Idaho students,

250
00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.399
<v Speaker 1>and this is the proper thing to do. You don't

251
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:22.879
<v Speaker 1>know where these people came from, or where this person

252
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.559
<v Speaker 1>came from. Did they get gas here in Kendrick, did

253
00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:29.360
<v Speaker 1>they get gas in Troy? We don't know. And as

254
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the police continue to scour for evidence for surveillance video,

255
00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 1>hopefully it's going to make that picture come into a

256
00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:41.679
<v Speaker 1>much more clear view because as of now, you know,

257
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:45.279
<v Speaker 1>it's a a needle in a haystack, right, a Hondai alantra.

258
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:48.919
<v Speaker 1>As the investigators have already said, they have over twenty

259
00:15:49.000 --> 00:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>two thousand registered Hondai lantras that they have to go through.

260
00:15:53.440 --> 00:15:56.519
<v Speaker 1>What about the ones that aren't registered, what about the

261
00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.200
<v Speaker 1>ones that have been stolen and all the rest of that.

262
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's a pretty large task here. And you would

263
00:16:03.000 --> 00:16:05.720
<v Speaker 1>think that if it was somebody local, somebody would have

264
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.960
<v Speaker 1>come forward already and been like, hey, my neighbor Joe Blow,

265
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:12.440
<v Speaker 1>he has this exact car and he's been acting goofy.

266
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.360
<v Speaker 1>But we haven't seen anything like that. So it's one

267
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:18.759
<v Speaker 1>of those cases where there's no precedent for this, right,

268
00:16:19.039 --> 00:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>there's no Oh, usually this is happening that can go

269
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 1>right out the window in this case. An employee at

270
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.519
<v Speaker 1>a gas station in Troy, Idaho, about twelve miles east

271
00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.960
<v Speaker 1>of Moscow on Highway eight tells Fox News investigators asked

272
00:16:33.960 --> 00:16:37.000
<v Speaker 1>for video, but their property does not have a camera

273
00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:41.279
<v Speaker 1>facing outside. A manager from the Food City store in Kendrick,

274
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:45.080
<v Speaker 1>about twenty four miles east of Moscow, tells Fox News

275
00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:50.159
<v Speaker 1>investigators asked for a video from cameras on their property. Now,

276
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a great thing that they're out doing this,

277
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:54.919
<v Speaker 1>But how did they miss the gas station that's only

278
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a few miles away from this house? How is it

279
00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:00.919
<v Speaker 1>that that clerk had to go through that surveillance video

280
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.519
<v Speaker 1>themselves and let the police know. Shouldn't the police have

281
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:07.799
<v Speaker 1>just come there and taken that surveillance video. Maybe I'm

282
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:11.839
<v Speaker 1>missing something here. That manager tells Fox News that on

283
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.160
<v Speaker 1>November thirtieth, the Idaho State Police requested video ranging from

284
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.960
<v Speaker 1>November twelfth to November fourteenth, and the business was able

285
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:23.519
<v Speaker 1>to digitally provide that surveillance footage. Neither the gas station

286
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.839
<v Speaker 1>nor the food store indicated they thoroughly look through their

287
00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:30.559
<v Speaker 1>own video for anything unusual. So wait a minute, hold

288
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:34.640
<v Speaker 1>on so this happened on the thirteenth. It took them

289
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:37.480
<v Speaker 1>seventeen days to get up there and collect this footage.

290
00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I would think that that would be one of the

291
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.200
<v Speaker 1>first things you do, go around and say, hey, anyone

292
00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:49.200
<v Speaker 1>got surveillance here. Fox News also confirms investigators requested surveillance

293
00:17:49.319 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>video from dozens of businesses within the town of Moscow,

294
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:56.680
<v Speaker 1>including a liquor store, a coffee shop, a gym, and

295
00:17:56.720 --> 00:18:00.759
<v Speaker 1>a gas station. On Tuesday, Fox News Digital obtained to

296
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.119
<v Speaker 1>still frame from the gas station surveillance video that shows

297
00:18:04.119 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 1>a four door white Sedan drive by around three forty

298
00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:10.799
<v Speaker 1>five am on the morning of the murders. Investigators have

299
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.519
<v Speaker 1>said that the students were killed between three am and

300
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.720
<v Speaker 1>four AM. So I'm still stuck on the fact that

301
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>it took them seventeen days to go around and look

302
00:18:20.759 --> 00:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>for footage. How much footage has been destroyed by that

303
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:28.640
<v Speaker 1>point or recorded over? Thankfully, this food market has some

304
00:18:28.720 --> 00:18:32.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of digital surveillance. But these smaller stores, convenience stores,

305
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.680
<v Speaker 1>do you really think that they have the money to

306
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:38.200
<v Speaker 1>just store all these videos and keep them forever. I'm

307
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:40.279
<v Speaker 1>sure they get rid of them, you know, weekly or

308
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:44.680
<v Speaker 1>bi weekly or something like that. At most places, and

309
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:49.359
<v Speaker 1>it takes you seventeen days to get out there and canvas.

310
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 1>On Thursday afternoon, the acting Public Information Officer for Moscow Police,

311
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Johnson, told Fox News that investigators are coming through

312
00:19:00.319 --> 00:19:04.720
<v Speaker 1>information on twenty two thousand, white twenty and eleven through

313
00:19:04.720 --> 00:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty and thirteen Hondai, a launtras registered in the Washington

314
00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and Idaho region. Police are asking the public to be

315
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.079
<v Speaker 1>on the lookout for the Hondai, saying the white car

316
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.400
<v Speaker 1>was at or near the crime scene on November thirteenth,

317
00:19:18.519 --> 00:19:22.759
<v Speaker 1>and as of Thursday afternoon, the driver or possible occupants

318
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>have yet to come forward. So my guess is, and

319
00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:29.400
<v Speaker 1>this is just a guest, remember that whoever was driving

320
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.680
<v Speaker 1>this Hondi, they know there's an investigation going on, and

321
00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:35.119
<v Speaker 1>they know that people are looking for them, and if

322
00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:38.119
<v Speaker 1>they haven't come forward, there's probably a reason why they

323
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:43.039
<v Speaker 1>haven't come forward, Because I don't know anyone who doesn't

324
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.079
<v Speaker 1>know about this case at this point. I mean, I

325
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>guess we can say that the driver might not have

326
00:19:48.039 --> 00:19:50.759
<v Speaker 1>any clue about what's going on, but I think that

327
00:19:50.799 --> 00:19:55.119
<v Speaker 1>would be a bridge that's pretty far, right, thinking that

328
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.519
<v Speaker 1>with all of the coverage of this, all of the

329
00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:01.759
<v Speaker 1>news coverage, especially locally. That's someone who's a local has

330
00:20:01.799 --> 00:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>no idea what's going on here. That's a hard sell.

331
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.480
<v Speaker 1>And if they are local and they have this vehicle

332
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:10.759
<v Speaker 1>and they haven't come forward, then we have to ask

333
00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:15.079
<v Speaker 1>ourselves why haven't they come forward? So I can't get

334
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.400
<v Speaker 1>rid of the feeling that when all is said and done,

335
00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.799
<v Speaker 1>we're going to find out that this was a stolen vehicle.

336
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Now again, I can't say that with certainty. It's just

337
00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>a hunch that I have. And if this killer was smart,

338
00:20:27.319 --> 00:20:30.279
<v Speaker 1>they certainly wouldn't be using a car that was registered

339
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to them, right and with how easy it is to

340
00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:36.160
<v Speaker 1>steal this model of car, I think it's something that

341
00:20:36.200 --> 00:20:38.960
<v Speaker 1>has to be explored. And my guess is law enforcement

342
00:20:39.319 --> 00:20:42.119
<v Speaker 1>is exploring that avenue as we speak. We don't know

343
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:45.359
<v Speaker 1>who owns this car. We need information from anybody that

344
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.279
<v Speaker 1>might connect us with who was in the car that night,

345
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Johnson told Fox News. So that could be anything ranging

346
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.279
<v Speaker 1>from somebody who happened to be there to whatever you

347
00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>might imagine. Police say the license is unknown, and Johnson

348
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.279
<v Speaker 1>would not clarify if the license plate could have been removed,

349
00:21:03.559 --> 00:21:06.240
<v Speaker 1>which is certainly possible as well, if it wasn't a

350
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.759
<v Speaker 1>stolen car and it's something that you know, it's your

351
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:12.480
<v Speaker 1>mode of transportation. At the very least, you'd want to

352
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:15.119
<v Speaker 1>take off that license plate if you plan on walking

353
00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:19.000
<v Speaker 1>into a house and slaughtering four people while they were asleep, right,

354
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that would make sense. Fox News asked Johnson how many

355
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:26.559
<v Speaker 1>miles outside of Moscow police might have traveled to a

356
00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:30.359
<v Speaker 1>request video surveillance. She would not specify, but said video

357
00:21:30.440 --> 00:21:33.599
<v Speaker 1>or tips could essentially come from anywhere in the country.

358
00:21:34.200 --> 00:21:36.599
<v Speaker 1>It's not just one thing that we're looking about looking

359
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:39.880
<v Speaker 1>into about the white car. It's many, many different things

360
00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:43.240
<v Speaker 1>and just taking that further until we get the answers

361
00:21:43.279 --> 00:21:46.799
<v Speaker 1>we need or find it is not taking us anywhere,

362
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:51.640
<v Speaker 1>Johnson said, So they're all over it. And from that

363
00:21:51.680 --> 00:21:55.160
<v Speaker 1>statement by Robbie Johnson, it would lead me to believe

364
00:21:55.240 --> 00:21:57.279
<v Speaker 1>that the police don't have all of their eggs in

365
00:21:57.319 --> 00:22:00.119
<v Speaker 1>one basket. Thinking that this vehicle is still in the

366
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.559
<v Speaker 1>direct region of Moscow, and with her saying that forget it,

367
00:22:04.599 --> 00:22:07.000
<v Speaker 1>who knows where the hell of the Lantra is. I mean,

368
00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.279
<v Speaker 1>at this point, you would think that whoever was in

369
00:22:09.359 --> 00:22:12.079
<v Speaker 1>possession of it, if they were involved in this crime,

370
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>has gotten rid of the vehicle by this point, burned it,

371
00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.200
<v Speaker 1>left it in the desert. Whatever. But if you're gonna

372
00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:21.920
<v Speaker 1>be driving around in this Honda Alantra and you're involved

373
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:26.039
<v Speaker 1>in these crimes, your time is short. Eventually you're gonna

374
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:28.240
<v Speaker 1>get caught. If you're in the same vehicle that was

375
00:22:28.359 --> 00:22:30.759
<v Speaker 1>used at the crime scene, oh yeah, your time is

376
00:22:30.799 --> 00:22:34.599
<v Speaker 1>not long. Now. The question is, is the perpetrator or

377
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:39.240
<v Speaker 1>perpetrators still in possession of this vehicle. If they're smart,

378
00:22:39.440 --> 00:22:43.039
<v Speaker 1>they wouldn't be. But who knows what we're dealing with here. Again,

379
00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we have no idea what really happened that night, besides

380
00:22:46.519 --> 00:22:49.559
<v Speaker 1>some of the basics that have been released by the investigators,

381
00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>and besides that, it's just all speculation and theory. So

382
00:22:54.160 --> 00:22:57.759
<v Speaker 1>until they find this white Hondai Alantra or announce another

383
00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.400
<v Speaker 1>break in the case, it would seem that the white

384
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Hondai a Lantra and the people who are driving it

385
00:23:03.559 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 1>are the focus of the investigation. All right, folks, that's

386
00:23:07.960 --> 00:23:09.640
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it for this one. If you'd like to

<v Speaker 1>I discussed can be found in the description What's up everyone,

392
00:23:30.440 --> 00:23:33.799
<v Speaker 1>and welcome back to the program. As we continue to

393
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.519
<v Speaker 1>inch ever closer to the start of the Brian Kolberger trial,

394
00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we are learning more and more every day about the

395
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.559
<v Speaker 1>investigation into Brian Coldberger and the case that was built

396
00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 1>against him after he became the target of the investigation.

397
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:53.920
<v Speaker 1>And according to Dayline, they have new video of Brian

398
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Colberger's alleged car circling around the victims home multiple times

399
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and then it sped away thirteen minutes later. So this

400
00:24:04.880 --> 00:24:07.359
<v Speaker 1>is footage that hadn't been seen before by the public

401
00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:11.559
<v Speaker 1>but now is being released. But the video certainly offers

402
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:15.000
<v Speaker 1>corroboration for what the authorities have told us from the

403
00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.759
<v Speaker 1>very beginning about this vehicle and its proximity to the

404
00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.279
<v Speaker 1>crime scene. So today we have an article from NBC

405
00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.200
<v Speaker 1>News talking about this a little bit more headline new

406
00:24:26.279 --> 00:24:29.920
<v Speaker 1>video shows car resembling Brian Colberger's driving around the time

407
00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:33.720
<v Speaker 1>of Idaho student murders. The video obtained by Dateline is

408
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:38.079
<v Speaker 1>among the evidence that investigators believe traces movements around the

409
00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:42.279
<v Speaker 1>time for University of Idaho's students were killed. This article

410
00:24:42.359 --> 00:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>was authored by Shane Bishop, Adam Gorfain, and Eric Ortiz.

411
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:51.079
<v Speaker 1>In the early morning hours of November thirteenth, twenty twenty two,

412
00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>when four University of Idaho students would be stabbed to

413
00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.319
<v Speaker 1>death in an off campus house as some of them slept,

414
00:24:57.759 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 1>a neighbour's home security video captured the same white car

415
00:25:01.359 --> 00:25:05.519
<v Speaker 1>circling the block multiple times. The vehicle approached the house

416
00:25:05.559 --> 00:25:10.000
<v Speaker 1>again and again before speeding away thirteen minutes later. The

417
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:14.000
<v Speaker 1>previously unseen footage obtained by Dayline offers another angle into

418
00:25:14.039 --> 00:25:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the turbulent events at the time prosecutors believe the students

419
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:20.640
<v Speaker 1>were murdered. And when it comes to Brian Coolberger, I

420
00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:23.839
<v Speaker 1>think he's cooked because the preponderance of evidence that's been

421
00:25:23.920 --> 00:25:26.799
<v Speaker 1>collected against him. We're not talking about just one piece

422
00:25:26.799 --> 00:25:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of evidence here. We're talking about a lot of evidence.

423
00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:33.359
<v Speaker 1>And when you put it all together, that circumstantial evidence,

424
00:25:34.119 --> 00:25:36.799
<v Speaker 1>that's how you build a case. Now, if they didn't

425
00:25:36.839 --> 00:25:39.519
<v Speaker 1>have that DNA, if that DNA on the sheath did

426
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:42.799
<v Speaker 1>not exist, then I'd be much more willing to say

427
00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:46.200
<v Speaker 1>that the prosecutors might have it wrong, but according to

428
00:25:46.200 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 1>all the evidence that we've seen here, according to everything

429
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:51.279
<v Speaker 1>that we know, it sure looks like they have the

430
00:25:51.319 --> 00:25:53.759
<v Speaker 1>right guy. To me, the question is are they going

431
00:25:53.799 --> 00:25:57.799
<v Speaker 1>to be able to prove it? Photos and digital materials

432
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:01.160
<v Speaker 1>are included in a two hour special airing Friday, tracing

433
00:26:01.200 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 1>suspect Brian Kolberger's movements and online habits before and after

434
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:09.160
<v Speaker 1>the killings that stunned the small community of Moscow, Idaho.

435
00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:14.039
<v Speaker 1>I think it stunned everybody. Not very often you wake

436
00:26:14.119 --> 00:26:16.519
<v Speaker 1>up to hear about four college kids or kids in

437
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.039
<v Speaker 1>general who have been brutally murdered while they slept. Not

438
00:26:20.160 --> 00:26:23.480
<v Speaker 1>exactly the kind of news that you're expecting, right, And

439
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:25.880
<v Speaker 1>considering the amount of people that have been to college,

440
00:26:25.920 --> 00:26:28.160
<v Speaker 1>the amount of people that have kids in school, a

441
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:30.119
<v Speaker 1>lot of people could relate to what was going on,

442
00:26:30.599 --> 00:26:32.640
<v Speaker 1>and of course that led to all the attention we

443
00:26:32.680 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 1>see here when it comes to Brian Colberger and the

444
00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:39.480
<v Speaker 1>murders in Moscow. Investigators referred to a white Hondai a

445
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:43.079
<v Speaker 1>Lantra believed to be from twenty eleven to twenty thirteen

446
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 1>as a critical clue as they solicited the public's help

447
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.200
<v Speaker 1>in finding a suspect. It also remains one of several

448
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:53.880
<v Speaker 1>key pieces of evidence, including DNA and cell phone data,

449
00:26:54.200 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 1>that prosecutors say ties Colburger to the crime scene. Colburger

450
00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 1>drove a White twosand and fifteen a Lantra cell phone.

451
00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.480
<v Speaker 1>Tower data and phone records also obtained by Dateline indicate

452
00:27:06.519 --> 00:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>that an FBI cell phone experts at Colburger's phone connected

453
00:27:10.359 --> 00:27:13.640
<v Speaker 1>to a cell tower providing coverage within one hundred meters

454
00:27:13.839 --> 00:27:16.599
<v Speaker 1>of the rental house at eleven twenty two King Rhode.

455
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:20.880
<v Speaker 1>It connected twenty three visits over a four month period,

456
00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.759
<v Speaker 1>all after dark. One visit was just six days before

457
00:27:24.799 --> 00:27:29.039
<v Speaker 1>the killings. Now explain that I know there's people out

458
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.279
<v Speaker 1>there that want to say Colburger's innocent, but come on,

459
00:27:31.839 --> 00:27:34.160
<v Speaker 1>what was he doing here? He has no connection to

460
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.519
<v Speaker 1>these girls, no connection to this house, but he's out

461
00:27:37.519 --> 00:27:40.160
<v Speaker 1>here a lurking. And then flip the script and fast

462
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:44.079
<v Speaker 1>forward to today, knowing everything we know about these murders

463
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:46.839
<v Speaker 1>and what we know now about Colburger, and it's very

464
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:50.279
<v Speaker 1>apparent that the state has a very very strong case.

465
00:27:50.640 --> 00:27:53.480
<v Speaker 1>And I think that Colburger's only chance is that some

466
00:27:53.519 --> 00:27:56.880
<v Speaker 1>sort of prosecutorial misconduct occurs and it leads to him

467
00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.599
<v Speaker 1>getting off. But short of that, I don't see how

468
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:02.759
<v Speaker 1>Colberger is gonna find himself an off ramp here and

469
00:28:02.839 --> 00:28:06.119
<v Speaker 1>find a way to beat the charges. It is just

470
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>not likely. And it's kind of like the situation with

471
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Alec Murdau. Once we had that digital footage, and that

472
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:16.079
<v Speaker 1>digital footage showed what it showed, there was no way

473
00:28:16.079 --> 00:28:19.039
<v Speaker 1>that Alec Murdall was beating those charges. And I remember

474
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:22.000
<v Speaker 1>if people talking like Alec Murdall was innocent, and it's

475
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the same usual suspects who talk about people like Coburger

476
00:28:25.559 --> 00:28:28.799
<v Speaker 1>like he's innocent. Look, there's a cottage industry of people

477
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:31.680
<v Speaker 1>out there who have no integrity and don't care about

478
00:28:31.680 --> 00:28:34.960
<v Speaker 1>the facts. All they care abouts clicks and driving traffic

479
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:38.799
<v Speaker 1>to their website or their content. But I find that

480
00:28:38.880 --> 00:28:42.559
<v Speaker 1>to be disgusting. Honestly, facts matter. We're not talking about

481
00:28:42.599 --> 00:28:46.039
<v Speaker 1>make believe things here. We're talking about real people, real murders,

482
00:28:46.359 --> 00:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>and real families that are suffering in the wake of

483
00:28:48.759 --> 00:28:52.799
<v Speaker 1>all of it. Meanwhile, phone data from Coburger's phone and

484
00:28:52.920 --> 00:28:56.240
<v Speaker 1>in the possession of law enforcement include Internet searches in

485
00:28:56.279 --> 00:28:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the weeks before and after killings on serial killer Ted

486
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Bundy and searches for pornography with the words forced, passed out, drugged,

487
00:29:04.559 --> 00:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and sleeping. Hell of a guy that, Brian Coberger. Now, look,

488
00:29:08.039 --> 00:29:10.599
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make him a murderer, right, but what are

489
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 1>you doing? Bro? Pornography with the words forced, passed out,

490
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.960
<v Speaker 1>drugged and sleeping. What do you diddy? Coburger, who at

491
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:22.079
<v Speaker 1>the time was a graduate student in criminology at nearby

492
00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:26.279
<v Speaker 1>Washington State University, was eventually arrested in late December twenty

493
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:29.119
<v Speaker 1>twenty two while he was back at home at his

494
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:33.039
<v Speaker 1>family's house in Pennsylvania. A judge entered a not guilty

495
00:29:33.039 --> 00:29:35.599
<v Speaker 1>plea on his behalf in May of twenty twenty three

496
00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>on four counts, the first murder and one count of burglary.

497
00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:44.119
<v Speaker 1>Defense lawyers have said Colburger maintains his innocence, and during

498
00:29:44.160 --> 00:29:46.680
<v Speaker 1>a court hearing in Boise last month, they tease the

499
00:29:46.720 --> 00:29:51.000
<v Speaker 1>possibility of an alternate suspect. Oh yeah, let's do it.

500
00:29:51.119 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait for this. Unlike the situation with Karen Reid,

501
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.640
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't a botched investigation here, so there's no basis

502
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:02.119
<v Speaker 1>for any of that bullshit and I'm gonna tell you

503
00:30:02.200 --> 00:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>right now, if people start in on it, we're gonna

504
00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:07.839
<v Speaker 1>hammer the fuck out of them on this podcast because

505
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I've had my fill of grifters and carnival barkers that

506
00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:15.400
<v Speaker 1>don't know the first thing about the first thing who

507
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.000
<v Speaker 1>are out here talking all kinds of nonsense. Enough is

508
00:30:18.079 --> 00:30:21.400
<v Speaker 1>enough already, because as far as the evidence goes, there

509
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.160
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been one single hint of an alternate suspect, not once.

510
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:29.559
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the suspect the alternate suspect was with Brian Colberger

511
00:30:29.759 --> 00:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>when they were doing some stargazing. Judge Stephen Hipler said

512
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.359
<v Speaker 1>the defense must present any such evidence by this month

513
00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.839
<v Speaker 1>ahead of Coburger's murder trial, plan to start August eleventh. Coburger, thirty,

514
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 1>could face the death penalty if convicted. Leyta County prosecutors

515
00:30:46.559 --> 00:30:49.359
<v Speaker 1>have not detailed a motive for the attack, and a

516
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:53.119
<v Speaker 1>gag order prevents many involved in the case from speaking publicly.

517
00:30:53.680 --> 00:30:56.200
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we don't know the motive yet, that's for sure.

518
00:30:56.359 --> 00:30:58.799
<v Speaker 1>We haven't had any sort of hint at what the

519
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:02.240
<v Speaker 1>motive could be. Now. I've said from the beginning that

520
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:06.119
<v Speaker 1>I think Coburger ran into Maddie at the mad Greek,

521
00:31:06.440 --> 00:31:09.680
<v Speaker 1>But that's just speculation. We have no idea as far

522
00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:12.400
<v Speaker 1>as what the official story is now. We're going to

523
00:31:12.480 --> 00:31:15.839
<v Speaker 1>learn that as things get closer, but as of now,

524
00:31:16.200 --> 00:31:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it's just speculating one way or the other. Coburger's lawyers

525
00:31:19.400 --> 00:31:22.400
<v Speaker 1>have said in court filings that Colberger takes drives alone

526
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 1>late at night, often hiking or stargazing, and contend cell

527
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:28.920
<v Speaker 1>phone data shows he was not near the crime scene

528
00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.799
<v Speaker 1>when the killings occurred. He had his cell phone off.

529
00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:34.559
<v Speaker 1>How do we know anything about the data at that point?

530
00:31:35.160 --> 00:31:38.240
<v Speaker 1>You know what's crazy. They try and spin these fairy tales,

531
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:41.839
<v Speaker 1>and they try and spin this narrative and it works

532
00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:44.640
<v Speaker 1>on some people, but those are the people who haven't

533
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>read the core documents. And I know I've said it before,

534
00:31:48.000 --> 00:31:50.720
<v Speaker 1>but I'll say it again because it's worth saying. If

535
00:31:50.799 --> 00:31:53.039
<v Speaker 1>you want the truth, you have to dive into the

536
00:31:53.039 --> 00:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>core documents and spend the time going through it. And

537
00:31:57.200 --> 00:31:59.039
<v Speaker 1>if you don't, you're not really going to know what

538
00:31:59.079 --> 00:32:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about. You're going to have no context. You're

539
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.640
<v Speaker 1>going to go off half cocked, half baked, and your

540
00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:07.160
<v Speaker 1>opinion is going to make you look like an absolute moron.

541
00:32:07.519 --> 00:32:09.680
<v Speaker 1>But there's some folks out there that can't be bothered

542
00:32:09.880 --> 00:32:12.000
<v Speaker 1>to put in the time and look at the core

543
00:32:12.079 --> 00:32:14.680
<v Speaker 1>documents and look at the facts. Instead, they want to

544
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:18.640
<v Speaker 1>pitch all kinds of bs. How Coburger may have known

545
00:32:18.680 --> 00:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>any of the victims housemates Madison Mogan, Kaylee Gonsalvez is

546
00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:25.039
<v Speaker 1>not a Kernodle, as well as Colono Odle's boyfriend Ethan

547
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Chapin is unclearer. In June of twenty twenty two, Coburger

548
00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:33.279
<v Speaker 1>moved to Pullman, Washington, to study at Washington State University,

549
00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>about eight miles west of Moscow. Ten days after moving in,

550
00:32:37.759 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>he was invited to a pool party in Moscow, where

551
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:45.839
<v Speaker 1>attendees told Dateline they had awkward interactions with Coburger. One

552
00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 1>former female graduate student said Coburger put his number in

553
00:32:49.000 --> 00:32:51.960
<v Speaker 1>her phone and then texted her the next day mentioning

554
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:55.200
<v Speaker 1>how they chatted about hiking. The text read in part,

555
00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:57.799
<v Speaker 1>I really enjoy that activity, so please let me know.

556
00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.720
<v Speaker 1>The wording of the text, as I look back on

557
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:04.359
<v Speaker 1>it is kind of peculiar. The woman said. It was

558
00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:07.680
<v Speaker 1>almost overly formal. Well, that could be explained by Brian

559
00:33:07.720 --> 00:33:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Colberger just being awkward, and I'm not somebody that takes

560
00:33:10.680 --> 00:33:13.720
<v Speaker 1>too much away from that. His interactions with other people

561
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:16.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of give us an idea that he's awkward, but

562
00:33:16.279 --> 00:33:19.960
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make him a murderer. When the false semester began, Colberger,

563
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:23.640
<v Speaker 1>who also served as a teaching assistant, had other interactions

564
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.400
<v Speaker 1>that stuck out to fellow classmates and teachers, some of

565
00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:30.440
<v Speaker 1>whom made complaints that led to the dean to discuss

566
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 1>his professional behavior. And the whole entire mythology of Brian

567
00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Kolberger being in oh shucks, kind of awkward dude is

568
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:42.079
<v Speaker 1>unraveling before your eyes. This dude wasn't just awkward. He

569
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.279
<v Speaker 1>was straight up weird and not just that, but he

570
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.880
<v Speaker 1>was also creepy, according to a lot of people who

571
00:33:46.960 --> 00:33:50.480
<v Speaker 1>knew him. But again, that doesn't mean he's responsible for

572
00:33:50.599 --> 00:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>murdering for people. Prosecutors say DNA was discovered on a

573
00:33:56.720 --> 00:33:59.920
<v Speaker 1>knife sheath located on a bed next to Mogan's body,

574
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:03.640
<v Speaker 1>and testing found it to be a statistical match to Coburger's.

575
00:34:04.480 --> 00:34:08.599
<v Speaker 1>Investigators had used genetic genealogy to identify a source and

576
00:34:08.639 --> 00:34:12.320
<v Speaker 1>then pull trash outside of the Coburger family home in Pennsylvania.

577
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.719
<v Speaker 1>Prosecutors also contend Colburger purchased a k bar knife from

578
00:34:16.760 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Amazon eight months before the murders on March twentieth, and

579
00:34:20.519 --> 00:34:22.800
<v Speaker 1>that was the same type of sheath that comes with

580
00:34:22.880 --> 00:34:26.079
<v Speaker 1>the k bar found in the victim's home. Defense lawyers

581
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:29.760
<v Speaker 1>have said during core proceedings that there are other unidentified

582
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:33.360
<v Speaker 1>male DNA samples at the crime scene, suggesting the possibility

583
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:37.239
<v Speaker 1>of other suspects. In recent weeks, prosecutors and the defense

584
00:34:37.239 --> 00:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>have argued over what should be admissible at Colburger's trial,

585
00:34:41.199 --> 00:34:44.239
<v Speaker 1>including nine one one calls and text messages shared by

586
00:34:44.280 --> 00:34:46.719
<v Speaker 1>two housemates who were home at the time of the

587
00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.159
<v Speaker 1>killings but were physically unharmed. And you can say whatever

588
00:34:51.199 --> 00:34:55.519
<v Speaker 1>you want about this DNA of unidentified males, but if

589
00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:57.960
<v Speaker 1>there was something there, a Coberger's team would have sunk

590
00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:01.480
<v Speaker 1>their teeth in already. So my guess is it's a

591
00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:04.880
<v Speaker 1>big nothing burger, just like all the other alleged allegations

592
00:35:04.920 --> 00:35:08.760
<v Speaker 1>that have been made by Colberger and his team. Hipler

593
00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:12.199
<v Speaker 1>last month also said he would allow the surviving roommate

594
00:35:12.239 --> 00:35:15.000
<v Speaker 1>to testify that she saw a masked intruder with bushy

595
00:35:15.000 --> 00:35:17.920
<v Speaker 1>eyebrows inside the home. The defense sought to have that

596
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>description Bard, arguing that it would result in unfair prejudice

597
00:35:22.360 --> 00:35:25.599
<v Speaker 1>towards Colberger, and of course Judge Hipler decided that that

598
00:35:25.719 --> 00:35:28.440
<v Speaker 1>was up to the jury to decide, not up to

599
00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:31.559
<v Speaker 1>him or to the defense. So it's going to be

600
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:34.400
<v Speaker 1>real interesting to watch this Dayline on Friday and see

601
00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:36.719
<v Speaker 1>what sort of new video they have and see what

602
00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it adds as far as context to what we already know.

603
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:42.599
<v Speaker 1>And I think that the picture that's being painted is

604
00:35:42.679 --> 00:35:47.280
<v Speaker 1>one that is less than favorable for Brian Colberger. All

605
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.920
<v Speaker 1>of the information that goes with this episode can be

606
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:51.639
<v Speaker 1>found in the description box.
