1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,839
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. There

2
00:00:04,879 --> 00:00:08,519
are some out there suggesting that Brian Coberger might have

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,839
been behind the noise complaints that were called in on

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:17,160
the Moscow house previously, and when I heard that earlier,

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,679
I didn't put any stock in it. I figured it

6
00:00:19,719 --> 00:00:22,800
was a bunch of bs. And now Fox News is

7
00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:26,320
confirming that it is well, in fact, a bunch of bs.

8
00:00:26,679 --> 00:00:29,760
So I figured we'd get ahead of this one before

9
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,200
I started getting emails about Brian Coberger being the man

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,399
that called in this noise complaint. This article is from

11
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:43,560
Fox News headline Brian Coberger case theory Idaho suspect was

12
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:49,000
behind party house noise complaints debunked. Idaho murder suspect Brian

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:53,039
Coberger allegedly stock the King wrote home for weeks before

14
00:00:53,079 --> 00:01:02,200
the stabbings. This article was authored by Michael Ruiz. Police

15
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,319
responded to noise complaints three times at the home where

16
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,519
four University of Idaho students were later killed, but incident

17
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,719
reports contain no evidence the prime suspect place the calls,

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,000
as web sleuths have suggested. And it's crazy how many

19
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,719
people are trying to make up their own story about

20
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:24,439
what happened here. Sometimes the story is what it is,

21
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,519
and running off in all those directions and jumping down

22
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:33,760
every single rabbit hole is just counterproductive, especially some of

23
00:01:33,799 --> 00:01:37,680
the more ludicrous stuff. I mean, really, we're gonna think

24
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,760
that Brian Coberger's over here calling in noise complaints. I mean,

25
00:01:41,799 --> 00:01:45,280
we've heard from neighbors on the record about how noisy

26
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:48,879
the house was, and neighbors talking publicly how they were

27
00:01:48,879 --> 00:01:51,840
the ones who called in the noise complaints. So where

28
00:01:51,879 --> 00:01:56,079
the hell did people come up with this one? Brian Coberger,

29
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,400
a twenty eight year old criminology PhD student at nearby

30
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:03,439
Washington State University, had also applied for an internship with

31
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,319
local police. He had allegedly been stalking the King Rode home,

32
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:11,319
where three of the four victims lived, for weeks. According

33
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,159
to a probable cause AFFID, David Coburger's cell phone ping

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,080
near the house at least a dozen times before the

35
00:02:18,159 --> 00:02:22,919
quadruple homicide and once the morning after, according to investigators,

36
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,759
and Moscow police pulled him over for a traffic stop

37
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,240
near the victim's home less than a week after the

38
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:33,319
first noiskin plant in August, so because he got pulled

39
00:02:33,319 --> 00:02:35,479
over by the house. He was the one who called

40
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,680
him the noiskin plant. I don't even understand what the

41
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:43,199
foundation of believing this nonsense would be. Like some of

42
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,439
this stuff, you know, you hear it and you're like,

43
00:02:45,479 --> 00:02:47,680
all right, well, I guess that seems at least possible.

44
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,639
But this kind of nonsense, Why would he call him

45
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,479
the noiskin plant? What would that serve? What would that

46
00:02:53,599 --> 00:02:56,639
do for him except put him on the radar. Now

47
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:00,560
we all know he's not a genius, obviously, but calling

48
00:03:00,599 --> 00:03:04,479
in a nooise complaint, Yeah, I'm not buying it. While

49
00:03:04,479 --> 00:03:08,479
the school had a database of police bodycam footage from

50
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:14,120
several departments and surveillance video around Pullman, Washington University officials

51
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:18,439
say Coburger was never granted access to those resources, and

52
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:22,719
Moscow police were not among the agencies sharing video. So

53
00:03:22,879 --> 00:03:26,360
even if he was granted access to those resources, he

54
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,319
wouldn't have access to what's going on in Moscow because

55
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,240
they weren't part of the sharing program that's going on

56
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,240
in Pullman. So they have that forensics school there, so

57
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:40,759
they have this program where they share some information and

58
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,800
they have access to police surveillance, they have access to

59
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,919
body camera footage, and to other things that normal people

60
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,840
wouldn't have access to. And all of that is to

61
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,759
prepare these kids or these adults, I should say, at

62
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,520
that point, to become criminologists and to work to try

63
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,919
and catch people who can crimes like the one Brian

64
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Cohberger is accused of. But the evidence of alleged stalking

65
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:11,159
and his criminal justice background triggered speculation that Coburger may

66
00:04:11,159 --> 00:04:14,599
have been involved in reporting the noise complaints or sought

67
00:04:14,599 --> 00:04:18,399
out the body camera video. Police documents obtained by Fox

68
00:04:18,439 --> 00:04:22,839
News Digital do not support either possibility. Yeah, he didn't

69
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,199
have access to any of that stuff. So there's no

70
00:04:25,319 --> 00:04:28,800
way that he was trolling through there and looking at

71
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:32,560
different bodycam footage or what was going on with police

72
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,680
officers in Moscow, or at surveillance cameras. It's just not possible.

73
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,759
A Brian Coberger didn't have access to it, and b

74
00:04:41,439 --> 00:04:44,399
Moscow is not part of that sharing program, So if

75
00:04:44,439 --> 00:04:46,959
they're not part of the program, there's no way that

76
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,160
Brian Cohberger was accessing those files. Two of the three

77
00:04:52,199 --> 00:04:55,240
complaints on the evening of September first and the early

78
00:04:55,319 --> 00:04:59,319
morning of September two, are identified in police reports as

79
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,000
neighbors of the King Rode Home in Moscow. Both calls

80
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,480
came from houses on Wollenta Drive, the street behind the

81
00:05:06,519 --> 00:05:10,639
six bedroom off campus rental house. Now we've heard from

82
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:13,920
these neighbors specifically who have won on the record before,

83
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,319
talking about how loud it was over there, and one

84
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,639
of them talking about how they had to call the cops.

85
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,480
So I don't even understand where the whole entire nonsensical

86
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480
theory can pop up that it was all coburger over

87
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:30,759
here dropping a dime because the kids were pound in

88
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:35,920
white claws and listening to some country music. An earlier

89
00:05:35,959 --> 00:05:40,639
incident report from August sixteenth does not include a complaint's name. However,

90
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,079
the responding officer on bodycam video reportedly mentions that the

91
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,800
loud music is disturbing neighbors. So I guess there's a

92
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,959
little room there if you want to really jump down

93
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,839
that rabbit hole and go to cuckooland I guess you

94
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,240
can do that. But chances are, when you look at

95
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:00,720
the fact that the neighbors were the ones who were

96
00:06:00,759 --> 00:06:03,639
always calling in these noiskin plants, and we see it's

97
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,480
been multiple noiskin plaints, it wasn't one time It wasn't

98
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,879
a one off. They were there. They were partying, hanging out,

99
00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:14,199
having drinks, pregaming. I know, those of you who went

100
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,279
to college know exactly how that all goes. How many

101
00:06:18,319 --> 00:06:20,759
of you had a specific place that you would pick

102
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:23,399
out that you would pregame. But before you, guys would

103
00:06:23,439 --> 00:06:25,519
go to a party, you had a friend who had

104
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,319
a house or an apartment, and everybody would meet up there,

105
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,519
get a little pregame celebration going on, tie on a

106
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,319
nice little buzz real quick, and get prepared for the

107
00:06:36,439 --> 00:06:40,040
night's festivities. I know that was my life. Literally five

108
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,839
nights a week while I was in college. I was

109
00:06:42,879 --> 00:06:47,279
going out just about every night, get up, miserable, head

110
00:06:47,319 --> 00:06:50,480
to work. But you know, it goes. People are partying,

111
00:06:50,519 --> 00:06:53,000
it's loud, and people are getting drunk and having a

112
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,199
good time. That's the whole point of leaving to go

113
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,000
to college out of state or at the very least

114
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,720
away from your parents. You want to have a good time.

115
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,759
And that's exactly what these kids were doing, and obviously

116
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,160
a few of the neighbors weren't too happy about it. Additionally,

117
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,360
the incident reports include the name of members of the

118
00:07:13,399 --> 00:07:17,040
public who requested the reports and the dates when those

119
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:21,720
requests were filed. Coburger's name does not appear on the list,

120
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,199
so I think that's pretty conclusive. Right. Even if you

121
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:30,160
think this guy is hannibal lector level of criminal, there's

122
00:07:30,199 --> 00:07:33,160
no way he's out here forging this sort of information.

123
00:07:34,639 --> 00:07:36,959
So I don't see how he could be the one

124
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:40,199
who called in these complaints. And for those of you

125
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,560
who have listened to the podcast for a while, you

126
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:45,839
know how the Washington Post gives out the five pinocchios. Well,

127
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,399
I give out five chicken palms here, and if I

128
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:51,319
think it's a bunch of bullshit, it gets more chicken parms.

129
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,240
This one is a five chicken parm bunch of nonsense.

130
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,560
Coburger faces four counts of first degree murder and the

131
00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:03,680
felon burglary charge after he allegedly entered a home on

132
00:08:03,759 --> 00:08:07,439
King Rhoad in Moscow and ambush Xanikernodle and her boyfriend

133
00:08:07,439 --> 00:08:12,800
Ethan Chapin, and Madison Mogan and Kaylee Gonsalves. The attacks

134
00:08:12,839 --> 00:08:16,879
happened around four am on November thirteenth, according to authorities,

135
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,680
and Leta County Coroner Kathy Maybut previously said all four

136
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,519
were stabbed to death Steve Gonsalvez. Kaylee, Gonsalvas's father, told

137
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160
Fox News Digital in December that Maybit described the injuries

138
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:34,600
to him as big, open gouges, and that definitely tracks

139
00:08:35,279 --> 00:08:37,799
considering what we know about what went down here and

140
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:41,039
how brutal the crime scene was. Just listening to what

141
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,559
the investigators said before there was a gag order, you know,

142
00:08:44,639 --> 00:08:47,679
this crime scene was absolutely brutal. When you have blood

143
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:50,960
trickling down the way we saw it and running out

144
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
the side of the house like that. Yeah, pretty brutal

145
00:08:54,039 --> 00:08:58,879
crime scene. So gouges and open wounds, and I can't

146
00:08:58,919 --> 00:09:03,240
even imagine what else was going on. Two other housemates

147
00:09:03,279 --> 00:09:06,759
were unharmed, including one who police say witnessed a masked

148
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,240
man with bushy eyebrows flee after the killings. Gonsalvas's dog

149
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,279
also survived the attack, and police said they found possible

150
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:19,279
animal hair while serving a search warrant at Coburger's apartment

151
00:09:19,279 --> 00:09:22,799
in Pullman, less than ten miles away from the crime scene.

152
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,559
It always baffles me when these alleged criminals, these alleged killers,

153
00:09:27,879 --> 00:09:30,480
commit these crimes so close to home. I get it,

154
00:09:30,519 --> 00:09:33,000
you want to know the surrounding area, so that you

155
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:34,879
have an idea of, you know, how to get away

156
00:09:34,919 --> 00:09:38,360
and whatnot. But really, haven't you ever heard the saying

157
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,120
don't shit where you eat. Don't you think you'd be

158
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,600
more successful as a serial killer, you know, murdering people

159
00:09:44,639 --> 00:09:50,120
that aren't living near you, probably a good idea. Coburger

160
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,200
is due back in court at the end of June

161
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,320
for a preliminary hearing, where his defense is expected to

162
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:58,519
challenge the evidence laid out against them. He is being

163
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,159
held without bond. If convicted of any of the four

164
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,600
murder charges, he could face the death penalty. The court

165
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,840
has issued a gag order barring attorneys and investigators from

166
00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:13,480
commenting on the case. So I just wanted to get

167
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,600
this one added to the catalog and get out ahead

168
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,120
of it. Like I said, before, I got emails on it,

169
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,320
because you know, there's people out there who are going

170
00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:24,159
to say, hey, is this true? Did this happen? And

171
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,639
obviously they have the documentation here pretty obvious that it

172
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,000
did not happen, that it wasn't Brian Kolberger who made

173
00:10:32,039 --> 00:10:35,120
these complaints, and in fact, it was just a bunch

174
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,879
of pissed off neighbors, all right, folks, that's going to

175
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,799
do it for this one. All of the information that

176
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,799
goes along with this episode can be found in the

177
00:10:44,879 --> 00:10:45,879
description box.
