Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome back to the program. Newsweek
has an article out that's giving us some more information
and filling in a couple of more blanks at least
about what went down in Moscow, Idaho. Now, of course,
we still don't have a suspect, we don't have any
person of interest. But the police have ruled out one
person at least, or at least say he's not a
suspect at this time, and that's the person that was
in the hoodie near the food truck. And I guess
there was an ongoing opinion amongst some of the mavens
that run around and call themselves detectives that they thought
it was this guy. Well, the police have ruled him out,
and there's also a few other tidbits that I found interesting.
So let's get into this article and let's get caught
up real quick and see where things stand. This article
was published by Newsweek headline Idaho student murders live updates
case using most resources prosecutor has ever seen. This article
was authored by Lauren Gella and Megan Ruse. Case using
most resources prosecutor has ever seen. Lotta County Prosecutor Bill
Thompson told the Spokane, Washington based news station kxly that
the murders last weekend a four University of Idaho students
involves a volume of investigative resources he hasn't seen before
in the three decades he's spent in the Prosecutor's office.
So that signals to me at least that they're working
overtime here to figure out what went on and to
bring somebody to justice. The City of Moscow Police Department,
the Idaho State Police, and the FBI are all working
on the case. These law enforcement agencies have brought in
probably more resources than I've ever seen in my thirty
years in Lata County. The Idaho prosecutor told the station
on Friday, well, let's hope that that bear some fruit,
because a lot of the family members don't seem to
think that this investigation is going in the right direction. Now.
I'm not there. I'm not part of the investigation obviously,
and I'm only curating the story for those of you
who are just joining me here on the podcast. I'm
not a journalist or one of these people who has
a bunch of inside sources or anything like that. I'm
just going along with the story the same way we
did with Gabby Patito the same way we do with
all of these other stories, and try and put the
pieces together based on what the authorities are telling us. Now.
Of course, obviously a little bit of speculation goes along
with that, but as far as major speculation on who
did it or theories about who, I don't play those
games because I don't have the information at hand. And
this is serious business, right. We're not out here playing
a game of clue, so it's important to follow along
and go on what the authorities are telling you. But
I will say I have ran into play twenty of
times investigators that really don't seem to have a clue.
Now I'm not saying that's what's going on here, but
when the families are saying they're not comfortable or they
don't like the direction that the investigation is going, that
always makes me sit up and take notice of what's
going on and maybe even be a little bit more critical.
Thompson said he and the responding agencies don't know why
it happened, and whoever is responsible is still out there.
He said he is hoping to find answers soon. Police
had not named any suspects or persons of interest by
Friday evening, though they did share an updated map and
timeline showing four students movements in the hours before the murders.
Police asked anyone who believes they may have information to
contact law enforcement. Thompson told the station that events that
occurred before the student's bodies were found was crucial information
for investigators working on the case. And that's just common sense.
Like we said earlier when this all first started, they're
going to have to rebuild the whole entire day basically
of these poor kids. Where did they go, who did
they have contact with, who did they run into? And
later on in this story or in this article, there's
an interesting bit of information towards that end, and we're
gonna have to wait and see a little bit more
about that, but it's one of the most interesting tidbits
that we have received so far. Police look for footage
near a food truck. According to report, police in Moscow
were reportedly searching for surveillance footage in the area where
two University of Idaho students were spotted in the hours
before they were stabbed to death. On Friday afternoon. The
City of Moscow Police Department released an updated map and
timeline that said two of the victims, Kaylee Gonkaldez and
Madison Mogan, were at a food truck along South Main
Street at about one forty am on November thirteenth. Audrey
Conklin of Fox News reported that officers were visiting stores
in the area near the food truck to inquire about
the existence of surveillance footage that might show the movements
gone Callbas and Mogan made that night. And there's gonna
be a whole bunch of this. My guess is that
they're going after like ring footage as well personal surveillance footage.
If people were taking videos, you know, of their friends,
people live streaming, you know how, kids rolling college towns.
So I'm guessing there was some live streaming going on
and the police are looking for all of that so
they can build this foundation of an investigation by recreating
the steps of these kids. Audrey Conklin of Fox News
reported that officers were visiting stores in the area near
the food truck to inquire about the existence of surveillance
footage that might show the movements gon Callbas and Mogan
made that night. And again, I'm sure they're looking for
anything a Twitch video from the food truck showed Gonkaldas
and Mogan there early on November thirteenth, and dressed in
a dark jacket and white or light colored hoodie could
be seen in the food trucks video. Idaho State Police
told the Boise based television news station KTVB that officers
have spoken with the man seen in the video as
part of a standard action and said he has not
been identified as either suspect or person of interest in
the case. And that's interesting because there were a lot
of people talking on different forums and stuff and throwing
around some ideas that this might be the person who
did it. And I always find that to be a
bit of a foolish task to even engage in, or
a waste of time until we have some kind of
concrete information. Then I don't see the purpose in trying to,
you know, point out people who might not have anything
to do with it and cause them all kinds of
chaos in their life. And that kind of stuff does happen.
You know, there's a lot of people out there that
shoot from the hip without any kind of information, without
any kind of evidence, and just go harden the pain.
And I've seen that explode way too many times in
people's faces. So I like to reserve my big fat
giant opinions until we have some evidence to base those
opinions on, because remember, the most important thing is justice
for these kids. But in every case like this, some
people just go absolutely crazy and get real wild with
their speculation and all the rest of it. So this
is the part of the story that I thought was
the most interesting and a part of the overall story
that might be something that leads somewhere. To be honest
with you, victims reportedly called the same person several times. Now,
why would they call the same person several times right
before they were killed? And hopefully this person is being
brought in and talked to by the police, because I
would think that if these girls are calling you that
many times right before this all goes down, that you're
somebody that needs to be talked to at the very
least to be ruled out or whatever. Right. The sister
of one University of Idaho students found dead last weekend
said several calls were placed to the same person early
on November thirteenth, the day for students bodies were found.
Olivia Gonkalbas said during an interview with Inside Edition that
she is looking for information that could help with the
case on her own. We are not getting any answers,
and we are not going to settle for that, she said.
So this is what I mean when I say it's
concerning when the family members aren't getting answers and they're
not being assisted in the manner that they should be,
It's always concerning. About one of these investigations, gon call
Is described seeking out surveillance footage near the home where
his sister Kaylee lived. She also described a flurry of
calls that she said were made from her sister's phone
to a person named Jack between two and three am
on November thirteenth. So, as far as I'm concerned, that's
the first bit of real circuit, substantial evidence with some
legs here, something that might stand up, because this sounds
real weird. Who's this Jack guy? And why were they
calling him so many times? What's the deal? What was
going on? John Call? This said Mogan was also among
the students found dead later that day. So who is
this Jack character? And have the police brought him in
to ask him? What the deal was? Hey? Jack, any
idea why these girls who were murdered were calling you
right before this all went down, and anything you'd like
to talk to us about Pal. With all of the
articles we've read, this is the one thing, the one
piece of information, the one bit of circumstantial evidence. I mean,
it doesn't prove anything, right, could have just been who
knows what the phone calls were for, But that has
to be figured out. Law enforcement has to dig into
that and try and make heads or tails from what
these phone calls were or what they contained, and what
they were talking about, and why so many phone calls
were fired out to the same person. That's not normal, unless,
of course, there's some sort of altercation or there's an
argument or a fight and someone keeps hanging up on
the other person. Certainly seems to me that of all
the things we've talked about so far, certainly more than
the guy in the surveillance video by the food truck anyway,
I think that this would be something that should be
pursued and pursued vigorously. And why wouldn't the cops be
pursuing this. That's weird. So there you have it, folks.
That's where things stand as of right now as we're
recording this at three point thirty seven pm Pacific Standard
time on November eighteenth. And again, this is an evolving
story with all kinds of twists and turn so far,
so we'll continue to do our best to add these
little updates here and these new tidbits that we come across,
because I feel like, out of everything we've talked about
in the past couple of days, past few days talking
about this, I think that this is the most I
don't want to say important part of evidence, but the
one that might lead to something right out of the
things that we have seen anyway. Now, obviously I don't
know what the police have, and I don't know what
the FBI has, but the things that we've heard about,
I would think that a phone conversation or phone calls
made repetialy to the same number over and over again
from two of the girls who were just murdered would
be something that would be very important, or at the
very least pretty crucial. So we'll see what happens with it,
and hopefully it does lead to the person who did this,
or the persons, because it's time for them to get
arrested and it's time for them to face justice. All right, folks,
