1
00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.160
<v Speaker 1>What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. We're

2
00:00:06.160 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>getting reports from People magazine that Brian Cohberger visited the

3
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Mad Greek restaurant at least twice before the victims were killed. Now,

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about the Mad Greek here on this podcast,

5
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:25.359
<v Speaker 1>theorizing that that was the location that would be ground

6
00:00:25.519 --> 00:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>zero where it seems the most likely that Brian Cohberger

7
00:00:29.839 --> 00:00:34.679
<v Speaker 1>would have any contact with Madison or Zana or kay

8
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Lee at a place like this, right, a restaurant where

9
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>one of them worked, And we know that Xana and

10
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Madison both worked at this restaurant. So you add this

11
00:00:44.920 --> 00:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>report that he went there at least two times to

12
00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:53.119
<v Speaker 1>the other report of him following Madison, Zana, and kay

13
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.079
<v Speaker 1>Lee on Instagram, and you start to have that whole

14
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>motive that some of these defense attorneys have been talking about. Now,

15
00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>of course, if you look at it just by itself, Okay,

16
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.159
<v Speaker 1>big deal, guy went to go get some vegan food,

17
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:09.840
<v Speaker 1>grabbed himself a vegan pizza.

18
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:12.799
<v Speaker 2>What's the big deal. Well, if it was just this,

19
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 2>it wouldn't be a big deal at all.

20
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:17.120
<v Speaker 1>And if I was sitting on a Jerry and you

21
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>just came with this and said, hey, look, he was

22
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:23.200
<v Speaker 1>at this place twice and Madison and Xana worked there,

23
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 1>so we need to convict him.

24
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I would laugh you out of the courtroom.

25
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:28.879
<v Speaker 1>But when you add it all up with the other

26
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>stuff we know, it all turns into some pretty damning stuff.

27
00:01:32.680 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 1>For Brian Kohberger, I want to make sure that I add, however,

28
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:40.159
<v Speaker 1>that this is from an anonymous source. Right, we don't

29
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>have anyone putting their name behind this. So there's going

30
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>to be people out there who aren't going to believe

31
00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>these sources. There's people who are under the impression because

32
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>there's a gag order, nobody's gonna say a word about

33
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>what's going on. But from my experience over the past

34
00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.640
<v Speaker 1>four and a half five years covering Jeffrey Epstein, Maxwell,

35
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>Gabby Potito, goes on and on, there's always going to

36
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 1>be leaks. And you have to remember it's not just

37
00:02:07.400 --> 00:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna come from law enforcement. There's a lot of other

38
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:14.000
<v Speaker 1>people that are working on these cases. You have specialists,

39
00:02:14.280 --> 00:02:18.639
<v Speaker 1>you have contractors. So inevitably people are gonna talk, and

40
00:02:18.719 --> 00:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>never mind employees or ex employees or friends, and especially

41
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.759
<v Speaker 1>if there's some money offered up for their time. Right,

42
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>you think some of these outlets are above paying sources.

43
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>They are not. And look, we can talk about the

44
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:36.719
<v Speaker 1>ethics when it comes to doing something like that as

45
00:02:36.759 --> 00:02:39.879
<v Speaker 1>far as paying people for stories, but that's how a

46
00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:42.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of that stuff gets out there. It's not always

47
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>coming from the police or from the prosecution or from

48
00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.599
<v Speaker 1>the defense. It's coming from other sources that might have

49
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>access to case files or evidence or whatever.

50
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:57.879
<v Speaker 2>So we have to keep that in mind.

51
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>Just because there's a gag order doesn't mean there aren't

52
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>ways to a get around it if the prosecution or

53
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>defense feels that they want to do that or b

54
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:10.080
<v Speaker 1>that there's going to be people out there who are

55
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>working on the case in whatever capacity that aren't working

56
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:19.599
<v Speaker 1>for the police department or the FBI, and those people

57
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.759
<v Speaker 1>inevitably are going to leak a little bit of information

58
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:26.879
<v Speaker 1>from time to time. And these journalists at these bigger

59
00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:31.159
<v Speaker 1>outlets like People here and some of the other outlets

60
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Fox and CNN, they're not paying for their stories, well

61
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>at least they say they're not, so they have to

62
00:03:38.080 --> 00:03:40.919
<v Speaker 1>develop sources. And a lot of times people will just

63
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:45.319
<v Speaker 1>talk to newspaper outlets or journalists because they want their

64
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>story told. So we'll see a lot of that leading

65
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:51.719
<v Speaker 1>up to this trial, and we've talked about that previously.

66
00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>So it's no shock to me that people has a

67
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 1>source that they've cultivated that's giving them what seems to

68
00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>be quality information. Now, of course, we always have to

69
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>keep in mind that it might be BS. It might

70
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>all end up being BS when the chips are down

71
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>and there's a trial going on, it might end up

72
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>being that this source was wrong, or this source was

73
00:04:13.919 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>taking them for a walk. But I don't think that's

74
00:04:17.040 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>the case here because it all adds up right. It's

75
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>not some far fetched, nonsensical BS. You got a guy

76
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.720
<v Speaker 1>who's a vegan. He lives I don't know, eight miles

77
00:04:27.800 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 1>or so roughly from the mad Greek who has a

78
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:35.160
<v Speaker 1>pretty good vegan menu, So chances are old boys probably

79
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna pop in there at some point. You don't have

80
00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:42.000
<v Speaker 1>to be some kind of great investigator to put that together.

81
00:04:42.399 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 1>And once you figure that out, well the rest of

82
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 1>it's easy. Where else is he gonna run into these girls?

83
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:50.319
<v Speaker 1>I guess that'll bar or whatever. But is it as

84
00:04:50.439 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 1>easy to start stalking somebody from a drunken encounter in

85
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>a bar or you know where they work? Now you

86
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>can sit on the place, you can case it, you

87
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>can figure out their travel patterns, and before you know it,

88
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 1>you know everything about them, basically from following them around

89
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.879
<v Speaker 1>from Afar And let's rewind back to the whole Kaylee

90
00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:14.759
<v Speaker 1>had a stalker thing. All of it makes sense, right,

91
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 1>and the pieces all start to add up. Now it

92
00:05:18.199 --> 00:05:22.439
<v Speaker 1>is circumstantial, and none of this is locked in and

93
00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:25.720
<v Speaker 1>guaranteed to be the truth, but it's certainly starting to

94
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>smell like something's cooking here. So with all of that said,

95
00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>let's get into this article from People magazine and let's

96
00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>see what they came up with. Headline, Idaho suspect Brian

97
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.879
<v Speaker 1>Cohberger visited restaurant where two victims worked at least twice

98
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:45.720
<v Speaker 1>before killings. According to a former employee at the Mad

99
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.959
<v Speaker 1>Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho, Brian Cohberger came in at

100
00:05:50.079 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>least twice to grab vegan pizza. This article was authored

101
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>by Steve Helling. And I know there's some of you

102
00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:58.199
<v Speaker 1>out there that are going to say, look, the Mad

103
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Greek already came out and said that he was never here. Well,

104
00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 1>did the Mad Greeks say that or did their lawyers

105
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.920
<v Speaker 1>tell them to say that. Remember, they're not obligated to

106
00:06:07.959 --> 00:06:10.519
<v Speaker 1>tell us anything. They don't have to tell us the truth.

107
00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.360
<v Speaker 1>They can come out there and tell us that there's

108
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>fairies dancing around in Tutwo's in the waiting room, and

109
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that's why they can't give us information.

110
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.680
<v Speaker 2>Whatever they want to say.

111
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 1>It's not like they're legally bound to tell anybody anything.

112
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 2>Besides the police.

113
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>So they could come out and say, we have no

114
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.920
<v Speaker 1>idea who Brian Coburger is. He is not familiar to us,

115
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>but at the same time know that there's something else

116
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 1>going on, as far as surveillance videos and as far

117
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:40.920
<v Speaker 1>as employees recognizing the fact that they might have served

118
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:45.480
<v Speaker 1>this dude. In the weeks before the slayings of four

119
00:06:45.639 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>University of Idaho students last November, the man now accused

120
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.399
<v Speaker 1>of killing them allegedly ate at the restaurant where two

121
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>of the victims worked. According to a former employee at

122
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.279
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow, Idaho, Brian Coberger came

123
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 1>in at least twice to grab a vegan pizza. Two

124
00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>of the victims, Madison Mogen and Xana Kernodle, were servers

125
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>at the restaurant. It's unclear if either woman ever waited

126
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:16.199
<v Speaker 1>on Coburger or if they even interacted, but People confirms

127
00:07:16.439 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>that a now deleted account that appeared to belong to

128
00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:24.519
<v Speaker 1>Coburger once followed both Mogen and Kernodle on Instagram, along

129
00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:28.439
<v Speaker 1>with the third female murder victim, Kaylee Gonsalves, And we're

130
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>going to do an article on that as well coming up.

131
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:35.639
<v Speaker 1>But that was exactly what the suspicion I had was

132
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.519
<v Speaker 1>as well, that Coburger was following them on social media,

133
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>because the account that I was looking at previously before

134
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>it was scrubbed by Instagram certainly looked like the legitimate

135
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.639
<v Speaker 1>account of Brian Coberger. And then you go back and

136
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.199
<v Speaker 1>you do all of the digital forensics and tie it together,

137
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.279
<v Speaker 1>stuff that I'm not smart enough to do, to be

138
00:07:56.319 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>honest with you, But when you look at what they

139
00:07:58.839 --> 00:08:02.879
<v Speaker 1>found forensically linking it to an email address, and it

140
00:08:02.959 --> 00:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>certainly seems like that Instagram account, at least that one

141
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 1>was actually Brian Kohberger's Instagram account. So when you add

142
00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>all of that up and you start putting that together,

143
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.120
<v Speaker 1>you have a little bit more than even foundational building blocks.

144
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:23.399
<v Speaker 1>At this point. You have a whole ass frame. People

145
00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:27.639
<v Speaker 1>has also confirmed via an investigator familiar with the case,

146
00:08:27.920 --> 00:08:31.319
<v Speaker 1>that law enforcement is aware of the restaurant visits and

147
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:36.159
<v Speaker 1>that investigators have interviewed employees and owners of the Mad Greek.

148
00:08:36.440 --> 00:08:40.240
<v Speaker 1>They have also collected surveillance video from the restaurant and

149
00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>surrounding businesses.

150
00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:44.159
<v Speaker 2>So they definitely are our hip to.

151
00:08:44.159 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>What went on here, Meaning the investigators, there's no doubt

152
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.919
<v Speaker 1>that they've done their due diligence. Once again, if myself

153
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:54.159
<v Speaker 1>and other people were putting those pieces together, do you

154
00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:59.240
<v Speaker 1>really think these FBI investigators and detectives weren't making you know.

155
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Two plus two years of course they were.

156
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It was now just about confirming that for them, making

157
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:09.039
<v Speaker 1>sure that their suspicions could be confirmed with evidence, and

158
00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>it certainly looks like there's going to be that evidence

159
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>of him being at the Mad Greek. The former employee

160
00:09:17.159 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 1>tells People that there was nothing suspicious about Coburger's visits

161
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.399
<v Speaker 1>to the Mad Greek, and that he only stood out

162
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>because he had a particular order. A strict vegan, Coburger

163
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>would check to make sure that his food had not

164
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:34.600
<v Speaker 1>come into contact with animal products, and that certainly tracks

165
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.960
<v Speaker 1>with what we heard previously about you know, relatives having

166
00:09:37.960 --> 00:09:41.159
<v Speaker 1>to get new pots and pans before Brian Coberger came

167
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:45.240
<v Speaker 1>over for holiday meals and shit. So it certainly tracks,

168
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.039
<v Speaker 1>it weaves together, it ties together, and it seems as

169
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:55.799
<v Speaker 1>if this person, this source is telling the truth. Mogan, Kernodle, Gonsalves,

170
00:09:55.879 --> 00:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death in an off

171
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.759
<v Speaker 1>camp as rental home in Moscow, Idah, on November thirteenth.

172
00:10:02.039 --> 00:10:04.960
<v Speaker 1>A massed intruder entered the home and killed the four

173
00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.279
<v Speaker 1>students with a fixed blade knife. More than a month later,

174
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 1>authorities arrested Coburger, a twenty eight year old graduate student

175
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>and teaching assistant at Washington State University. He was charged

176
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>with four counts of murder and one count of felony burglary.

177
00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Coburger was arrested at his parents Pennsylvania home on December thirtieth.

178
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 1>He waived his extradition to Idaho, meaning he voluntarily agreed

179
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.120
<v Speaker 1>to return to the state to face the charges against him.

180
00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:38.399
<v Speaker 1>He was transported back to Idaho on January fourth. According

181
00:10:38.399 --> 00:10:41.759
<v Speaker 1>to the probable cause affid David obtained by People, one

182
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:44.840
<v Speaker 1>of the victims surviving roommates said she saw the killer.

183
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:48.159
<v Speaker 1>The roommate described the figure clad in black clothing and

184
00:10:48.200 --> 00:10:51.399
<v Speaker 1>a mask who walked past her as the person left

185
00:10:51.399 --> 00:10:54.919
<v Speaker 1>the crime scene. And it's going to be interesting just

186
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to talk about that for a minute, to see how

187
00:10:57.240 --> 00:11:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the prosecution goes about getting her store to the jury.

188
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Are they going to have her testify? Are they going

189
00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>to use a grand jury? So there's you know, several

190
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:10.559
<v Speaker 1>different things they can do, but it's going to be

191
00:11:10.600 --> 00:11:13.759
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see which pathway they choose to go down.

192
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:19.679
<v Speaker 1>The affid David also alleged that Coburger was linked to

193
00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:23.879
<v Speaker 1>the crime scene from DNA and cell phone pings. Authorities

194
00:11:24.080 --> 00:11:27.639
<v Speaker 1>have not publicly disclosed the suspected motive in the killings.

195
00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.399
<v Speaker 1>Coburger has not yet entered a plea, His next hearing

196
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>isn't until June twenty sixth, and his attorneys have not

197
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:39.039
<v Speaker 1>returned people's messages for comment, and they're not going to.

198
00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Don't expect Dan Taylor or anyone working on the case

199
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>directly to speak to the media. That is not going

200
00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to happen. The only information, like I've said before, is

201
00:11:49.840 --> 00:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be the court filings and whatever people can

202
00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:57.200
<v Speaker 1>get from leaks and sources that they develop all right, folks,

203
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.039
<v Speaker 1>So that's going to do it for this one. And

211
00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>welcome back to the program.

212
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:32.759
<v Speaker 1>Yesterday we were talking about the report that Brian Kolberger

213
00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>ate at the Mad Greek at least two times. Well,

214
00:12:36.279 --> 00:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>now the owner of the Mad Greek is coming out

215
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and refuting that report.

216
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:44.200
<v Speaker 2>However, I don't know if I buy what she's selling.

217
00:12:45.240 --> 00:12:47.559
<v Speaker 1>It would make sense that the owner of this store

218
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't want this store to be in the headlines with

219
00:12:50.360 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>all the wild ass, wacky people out there who think

220
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>they're part of the story, who are probably calling there

221
00:12:56.039 --> 00:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>breaking their chops. But for me, I happen to belie

222
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:03.600
<v Speaker 1>leave the source that people has cultivated, and I believe

223
00:13:03.679 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that he was in fact at the Mad Greek, and

224
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.159
<v Speaker 1>later on down the road we'll find that out one.

225
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.879
<v Speaker 2>Way or the other. Either he was or he wasn't right.

226
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:14.799
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna find that out at the trial or maybe

227
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>during the discovery, but either way, as of right now,

228
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>all we have to go on are what the owner

229
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 1>of the Mad Greek has to say and what the

230
00:13:23.840 --> 00:13:27.279
<v Speaker 1>source from people is telling us. And remember it's not

231
00:13:27.480 --> 00:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>just the one source from people, it's the ex employee

232
00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:34.480
<v Speaker 1>and a law enforcement official that's close to the investigation.

233
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.039
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna have to decide for yourself what you believe,

234
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and to do that you have to have all the

235
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>context that's possible.

236
00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:44.879
<v Speaker 2>So we're definitely gonna add all sides of the.

237
00:13:44.840 --> 00:13:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Story here on the podcast, because, as you know, I'm

238
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:50.679
<v Speaker 1>not trying to have confirmation bias here and I'm not

239
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:54.759
<v Speaker 1>trying to chase down any kind of pigeonholed speculation. So

240
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:58.679
<v Speaker 1>if they weren't at this restaurant, that's fine, but I'm

241
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.039
<v Speaker 1>gonna need more of a source than the owner of

242
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.399
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant coming out and saying this. Considering imagine, if

243
00:14:04.440 --> 00:14:06.519
<v Speaker 1>you own this restaurant, do you really want to talk

244
00:14:06.559 --> 00:14:09.639
<v Speaker 1>about two of your employees who were murdered by somebody

245
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>who was patronizing the restaurant? Probably not great for business, right,

246
00:14:14.240 --> 00:14:17.720
<v Speaker 1>never mind the investigation. Let's talk about the bottom line here,

247
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:21.679
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of that is what plays into this.

248
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Right.

249
00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.600
<v Speaker 1>This owner doesn't want people calling there, going there, and

250
00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:29.559
<v Speaker 1>you have to understand that that's very, very understandable. This

251
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.159
<v Speaker 1>lady has a business to run. And let's not forget

252
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:35.399
<v Speaker 1>that these were her employees. These aren't just names in

253
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a story. These are people that she knew, people that

254
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.639
<v Speaker 1>were at the job every single day, that you know,

255
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>she built a relationship with. So we have to keep

256
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:47.600
<v Speaker 1>that in mind as well. But the overall story, the

257
00:14:47.679 --> 00:14:51.960
<v Speaker 1>overall connection of him running into them at the Mad Greek,

258
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.679
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's something that fits well in this

259
00:14:54.840 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 1>story and it would make a lot of things make sense. However,

260
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:02.159
<v Speaker 1>I am certainly open into wherever the evidence leads us.

261
00:15:02.559 --> 00:15:05.360
<v Speaker 1>So with that said, let's see what the owner of

262
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:11.440
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Greek has to say. Headline Idaho murders restaurant

263
00:15:11.440 --> 00:15:14.279
<v Speaker 1>where two victims work disputes report.

264
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>That Brian Coberger ate there.

265
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.080
<v Speaker 1>This article was published by Fox News and the author

266
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of this article is Adam Sabs. The owner of a Moscow,

267
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Idaho restaurant where two slain students worked is speaking out

268
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:33.320
<v Speaker 1>after one report claimed that quadruple murder suspect Brian Coberger

269
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>visited the business twice, saying that is inaccurate. So she's saying,

270
00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the owner that Brian Coberger has never ever been at

271
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Greek. That's what she's telling us. That's what

272
00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:46.240
<v Speaker 1>she wants you to believe. Now, the question is, do

273
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:49.759
<v Speaker 1>you believe that he lived within eight miles of this restaurant?

274
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It has quite the vegan selection. So is it really

275
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>that far of a stretch to think that this dude

276
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>visited this restaurant for lunch one day, or maybe you

277
00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.440
<v Speaker 1>went in there at night or something like that while

278
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:07.240
<v Speaker 1>they were working, who knows. According to the owner, it

279
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:12.240
<v Speaker 1>never happened. A People article published on Thursday claims that

280
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Coburger visited the Mad Greek where Madison Mogan and Xana

281
00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:20.879
<v Speaker 1>Kernodle worked, and ordered vegan pizza, citing a former employee.

282
00:16:20.919 --> 00:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>The owner of the Mad Greek, Jackie Fisher, says in

283
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:27.840
<v Speaker 1>a Facebook post that the report is based on completely

284
00:16:27.879 --> 00:16:33.399
<v Speaker 1>fabricated information. So why would somebody fabricate that information? Why

285
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.879
<v Speaker 1>would somebody just come up with that and say that

286
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.399
<v Speaker 1>he has been there if he hasn't. And then not

287
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:41.360
<v Speaker 1>only that but reported to the authorities. That would be

288
00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.679
<v Speaker 1>a bit foolish, right, Send the authorities on a wild

289
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:47.840
<v Speaker 1>goose chase. There would be some penalties for that, you

290
00:16:47.879 --> 00:16:51.639
<v Speaker 1>would think wasting police resources in a case like this.

291
00:16:52.279 --> 00:16:53.519
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it's a good idea.

292
00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:57.799
<v Speaker 1>The news media should really do their due diligence before

293
00:16:57.919 --> 00:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>running a story with completely fabric information. This will be

294
00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>my only response to this story from people it is

295
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 1>not true. Fisher wrote, Well, that's really not going to

296
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 1>cut it.

297
00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:08.519
<v Speaker 2>Honestly.

298
00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 1>Just saying it's not true is all fine and well,

299
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:16.480
<v Speaker 1>but it really doesn't do anything to dispute this report. Again,

300
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:19.519
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot that goes into it from an owner's perspective, right,

301
00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>and we have to keep that all in mind. The

302
00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:25.079
<v Speaker 1>last thing you want is your restaurant to be associated

303
00:17:25.240 --> 00:17:28.240
<v Speaker 1>with these murders. So of course they're going to be

304
00:17:28.319 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>cautious about what they say, what they have their employees say.

305
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>And if you don't think that they have a lawyer involved,

306
00:17:33.799 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>you are crazy. They most certainly do. And here's where

307
00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:40.920
<v Speaker 1>it gets a little interesting. I also have not forbidden

308
00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.880
<v Speaker 1>employees from speaking to reporters. We all decided collectively to

309
00:17:44.920 --> 00:17:48.839
<v Speaker 1>support the families and not share anything that could potentially

310
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:53.200
<v Speaker 1>harm the investigation or cause the families more stress. She added,

311
00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:55.599
<v Speaker 1>So if there was nothing to share, then what's the

312
00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.200
<v Speaker 1>big deal. You shouldn't have to get together with all

313
00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:01.759
<v Speaker 1>of your employees and talk about collectively not sharing anything

314
00:18:01.960 --> 00:18:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that might be harmful if there was nothing to share. Right,

315
00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>So her whole statement to me really doesn't make all

316
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.839
<v Speaker 1>that much sense. But if she says he wasn't there, okay,

317
00:18:12.119 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>we'll have to roll with that. The People report also

318
00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:20.160
<v Speaker 1>stated that an investigator familiar with the case said that

319
00:18:20.240 --> 00:18:24.240
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement is aware of Coburger's visit to the restaurant.

320
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>And notice she doesn't refute that report right, that there's

321
00:18:28.480 --> 00:18:32.680
<v Speaker 1>an investigator, or that the investigators are aware that Coburger

322
00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:36.279
<v Speaker 1>allegedly was at this restaurant two different times. You notice

323
00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:39.519
<v Speaker 1>she only brings up her employees, right, doesn't say anything else.

324
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Ethan Chapin, Zanti Kernodle, Madison Mogan, and Kaylee Gonsalvez were

325
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.359
<v Speaker 1>allegedly stabbed to death by twenty eight year old suspect

326
00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:52.559
<v Speaker 1>Brian Cohberger during the early morning hours of November thirteenth

327
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:57.880
<v Speaker 1>in Moscow, Idaho. Coburger, a Washington State University teaching assistant

328
00:18:58.200 --> 00:19:01.599
<v Speaker 1>and PhD student in the depart of Criminal Justice was

329
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:06.759
<v Speaker 1>arrested on December thirtieth in all Brightsville, Pennsylvania. He is

330
00:19:06.799 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 1>facing four counts of first degree murder and one count

331
00:19:09.759 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>of burglary with the intent to commit murder. If he's

332
00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.960
<v Speaker 1>convicted of the first degree murder, Coburger faces life in

333
00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:17.799
<v Speaker 1>prison or the death penalty.

334
00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:18.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

335
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm thinking it's going to be the death penalty. Remember

336
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:23.799
<v Speaker 1>we're in Idaho. You know, those yokels are going to

337
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.359
<v Speaker 1>show up in their overalls and their farmers hats and

338
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 1>be ready to rock. Pennsylvania State Police Major Christopher of

339
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:35.599
<v Speaker 1>Paris said during a press conference on January third that

340
00:19:35.759 --> 00:19:38.759
<v Speaker 1>force was used to gain entrance to the Coburger home

341
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:43.839
<v Speaker 1>during the early morning hours of December thirtieth in all Brightsville, Pennsylvania.

342
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:47.440
<v Speaker 1>There were multiple windows that were broken, I believe to

343
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.160
<v Speaker 1>gain access, as well as multiple doors, Paris said during

344
00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:54.920
<v Speaker 1>the press adding that Brian Coberger's parents were home at

345
00:19:54.920 --> 00:19:57.319
<v Speaker 1>the time, and you know, I feel bad for Brian

346
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Colberger's parents. Honestly, have you seen his mom and dad?

347
00:20:02.240 --> 00:20:06.079
<v Speaker 1>It's just the collateral damage that's caused by something like

348
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:11.319
<v Speaker 1>this is just unspeakable because even the people that are murderers,

349
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:14.799
<v Speaker 1>like they allege Brian Kolberger to be, he has family

350
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:18.000
<v Speaker 1>who loves him, right, his mom is dad, his sister,

351
00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:21.160
<v Speaker 1>and all of that collateral damage added on to the

352
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.119
<v Speaker 1>rest of the misery.

353
00:20:22.599 --> 00:20:23.640
<v Speaker 2>It's just all bad.

354
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.200
<v Speaker 1>But as far as the mad Greek goes, I mean, look,

355
00:20:28.640 --> 00:20:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to believe whatever it is that you

356
00:20:31.279 --> 00:20:34.839
<v Speaker 1>wanna believe, whatever you think is the truth. But my

357
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.640
<v Speaker 1>personal opinion is he was at this restaurant. Now, I

358
00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:42.039
<v Speaker 1>certainly can't prove that, and the owner, well they would

359
00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:44.480
<v Speaker 1>know better than me, right, But at the same time,

360
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>we have to understand that the owner is motivated by

361
00:20:47.599 --> 00:20:51.200
<v Speaker 1>other things as far as business, as far as, like

362
00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:54.079
<v Speaker 1>she said, not wanting to be involved in the investigation

363
00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:55.960
<v Speaker 1>or make it harder on the police.

364
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I can understand that completely.

365
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:00.559
<v Speaker 1>And if you got together with your employees and you

366
00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.480
<v Speaker 1>all came to some kind of agreement to not say

367
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 1>anything to try and make things go more smoothly during

368
00:21:06.359 --> 00:21:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the investigation, I could see how one employee, you know,

369
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:14.119
<v Speaker 1>deviating from that course could be annoying, could be frustrating,

370
00:21:14.759 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and if it was just that one employee that was

371
00:21:17.359 --> 00:21:19.960
<v Speaker 1>the source, then I'd be more inclined to believe the

372
00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:23.160
<v Speaker 1>owner here. But we know that the investigators are involved

373
00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.559
<v Speaker 1>as well, and we know that they scoured all of

374
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:29.960
<v Speaker 1>these stores previously for video and surveillance and all of

375
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the rest of it. So if Coburger was in that store,

376
00:21:34.240 --> 00:21:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Greek, then they're gonna know that, and eventually

377
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.119
<v Speaker 1>when this trial comes, we're gonna know it too. But

378
00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:44.319
<v Speaker 1>I could totally see what the owner's doing here trying

379
00:21:44.359 --> 00:21:47.799
<v Speaker 1>to put out this fire. I can't imagine how many

380
00:21:47.799 --> 00:21:51.000
<v Speaker 1>people are contacting them, calling them, trying to get interviews.

381
00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:53.799
<v Speaker 1>And when you have a business to run and you're

382
00:21:53.839 --> 00:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>dealing with the tragedy of losing some employees, can't be

383
00:21:57.000 --> 00:21:59.519
<v Speaker 1>an easy road to navigate. So I do have a

384
00:21:59.559 --> 00:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of compassion for them, no doubt about it. And

385
00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:05.799
<v Speaker 1>with her coming out making this statement that she's not

386
00:22:05.839 --> 00:22:08.160
<v Speaker 1>going to make any other statements, then I think that

387
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.680
<v Speaker 1>the media, the legacy media, should respect that and leave

388
00:22:11.720 --> 00:22:14.319
<v Speaker 1>them alone over there. If any of the other employees

389
00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:16.880
<v Speaker 1>want to come forward and speak, then that's one thing,

390
00:22:17.240 --> 00:22:20.960
<v Speaker 1>but nobody should harass them or the Corner Club or

391
00:22:21.039 --> 00:22:24.039
<v Speaker 1>any of these other places that were affected by this tragedy.

392
00:22:24.440 --> 00:22:26.680
<v Speaker 1>If people want to talk, they'll talk. You know, one

393
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.920
<v Speaker 1>phone calls fine, But the harassment that you see from

394
00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 1>the legacy media sometimes is a bit much. There is

395
00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:35.880
<v Speaker 1>no doubt, and you have to think with a story

396
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.680
<v Speaker 1>like this, any little piece of information coming out is

397
00:22:39.759 --> 00:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>going to cause a maelstrom of activity. So you own

398
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:48.039
<v Speaker 1>a business in this small town, especially a business that's

399
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:50.839
<v Speaker 1>thrust into the middle of all of this, it can't

400
00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:54.279
<v Speaker 1>be an enjoyable time. So we have to recognize that

401
00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:58.160
<v Speaker 1>and understand that these are real people that we're talking about.

402
00:22:58.559 --> 00:22:59.960
<v Speaker 2>So there you have it, folks.

403
00:23:00.279 --> 00:23:04.640
<v Speaker 1>We have a source allegedly who was an employee at

404
00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 1>the Mad Greek who tells us that Brian Coberger was

405
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 1>there at least twice. We have official sources or at

406
00:23:11.799 --> 00:23:15.039
<v Speaker 1>least anonymous sources that claim to be working on the

407
00:23:15.079 --> 00:23:19.359
<v Speaker 1>investigation or close to the investigation, who also say it's true.

408
00:23:19.880 --> 00:23:22.559
<v Speaker 1>But we'll have to see when all of the evidence

409
00:23:22.839 --> 00:23:25.759
<v Speaker 1>is finally presented. So what do you think. Do you

410
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.240
<v Speaker 1>think Brian Coberger was at the Mad Greek or do

411
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:33.680
<v Speaker 1>you think it's just another rumor. If you'd like to

417
00:23:56.920 --> 00:24:01.119
<v Speaker 1>and welcome back to the program. For the past few days,

418
00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:04.880
<v Speaker 1>there's been a lot of talk about the alleged sighting

419
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:08.279
<v Speaker 1>of Brian Koberger at the Mad Greek and the Mad

420
00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Greek's response to that People Magazine information that was released

421
00:24:13.680 --> 00:24:18.039
<v Speaker 1>to the public. Well, now People Magazine is coming out

422
00:24:18.400 --> 00:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>and they're standing behind their story, they're standing behind their source,

423
00:24:22.480 --> 00:24:26.279
<v Speaker 1>and they say that the information that they released was accurate,

424
00:24:26.759 --> 00:24:29.599
<v Speaker 1>and I tend to believe them. I'm not usually someone

425
00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 1>who believes the legacy media for the most part, but

426
00:24:33.640 --> 00:24:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it just seems that all of this lines up perfectly.

427
00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:39.480
<v Speaker 1>And when you look at what's going on here, you

428
00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.519
<v Speaker 1>have the gag order and all the rest of it

429
00:24:41.599 --> 00:24:46.240
<v Speaker 1>all happening right after this information becomes public. That leads

430
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.960
<v Speaker 1>me to believe that it has some legs. You know,

431
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.319
<v Speaker 1>the saying, right where there's some smoke, there's some fire. Well,

432
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:56.240
<v Speaker 1>here in this instance, I happen to believe that that

433
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.480
<v Speaker 1>certainly is the case. So today we're going to start

434
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 1>our episode by reading the response of the Mad Greek's

435
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 1>owner and then jumping into a BuzzFeed article where we'll

436
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:12.640
<v Speaker 1>hear from People magazine defending the information that they have cultivated.

437
00:25:12.960 --> 00:25:15.519
<v Speaker 1>So first let's go to the statement from the owner

438
00:25:15.640 --> 00:25:19.319
<v Speaker 1>of the Mad Greek. The news media should really do

439
00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:24.000
<v Speaker 1>their due diligence before running a story with completely fabricated information.

440
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what is completely fabricated here, but I

441
00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.680
<v Speaker 1>guess she's saying that the information that the ex employee

442
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:35.680
<v Speaker 1>and legal source is giving people is a bunch of

443
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>buck GISTs. This will be my only response to this

444
00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>story from People. It is not true. This person who

445
00:25:42.799 --> 00:25:45.559
<v Speaker 1>wants their five minutes of fame has now caused a

446
00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.880
<v Speaker 1>whole bunch of extra work for myself and the investigators.

447
00:25:49.359 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>And I get that.

448
00:25:50.440 --> 00:25:53.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that an extra amount of work has been

449
00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 1>heaped in their lap because there's a bunch of knuckleheads

450
00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.400
<v Speaker 1>who think they're gonna go and break the case by

451
00:25:58.440 --> 00:26:01.079
<v Speaker 1>going to talk to people at mad Greek. But if

452
00:26:01.079 --> 00:26:03.359
<v Speaker 1>the person was looking for their five minutes of fame,

453
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.359
<v Speaker 1>why would they come out and make this statement anonymously.

454
00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:11.359
<v Speaker 1>I also have not forbidden employees from speaking to reporters.

455
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:13.319
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how you would do that anyway, What

456
00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:15.720
<v Speaker 1>could what would you say, I'm gonna fire you from

457
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.400
<v Speaker 1>your mad Greek job if you talk to reporters. I mean,

458
00:26:19.680 --> 00:26:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I get it, nobody wants to lose their job, but

459
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.039
<v Speaker 1>it's not like you're getting fired. As the CEO of

460
00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Disney over here, we all decided collectively to support the

461
00:26:30.039 --> 00:26:33.319
<v Speaker 1>families and not share anything that could potentially harm the

462
00:26:33.400 --> 00:26:37.960
<v Speaker 1>investigation or cause the families more stress. So I don't

463
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:40.599
<v Speaker 1>know what information you would have that could cause the

464
00:26:40.680 --> 00:26:43.839
<v Speaker 1>families more heartache. I mean, if the dude was there,

465
00:26:43.960 --> 00:26:48.680
<v Speaker 1>you was there. It's all gonna come out eventually to

466
00:26:48.799 --> 00:26:52.599
<v Speaker 1>all media reporters, internet sleuths, et cetera. Please allow us

467
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:54.960
<v Speaker 1>to grieve the loss of our friends and co workers.

468
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:57.960
<v Speaker 1>I agree with that statement. Nobody should be bothering them.

469
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Nobody should be showing up there chasing people down trying

470
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.519
<v Speaker 1>to talk to employees. If they want to talk to you,

471
00:27:05.240 --> 00:27:07.599
<v Speaker 1>then they'll talk to you. But besides that, I don't

472
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.920
<v Speaker 1>see the point in making people's lives miserable like they

473
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.599
<v Speaker 1>had anything to do with what went down here. But

474
00:27:13.720 --> 00:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>with that said, once again, I don't believe the statement.

475
00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.119
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe that Brian Koberger was never here. Why

476
00:27:20.160 --> 00:27:22.960
<v Speaker 1>would People magazine make that up? It just doesn't make

477
00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.680
<v Speaker 1>sense to me. But I'm certainly willing to follow the

478
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:29.240
<v Speaker 1>evidence wherever it goes. As of now, there has been

479
00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:33.920
<v Speaker 1>no evidence provided that would refute this People Magazine story

480
00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:37.160
<v Speaker 1>besides what the owner of this restaurant has to say,

481
00:27:37.880 --> 00:27:40.440
<v Speaker 1>So it really comes down to who do you believe.

482
00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:44.799
<v Speaker 1>This has been incredibly hard on us, with our phones

483
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:48.079
<v Speaker 1>ringing off the hook, reporters banging on my door at

484
00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.960
<v Speaker 1>my private residence, and hunting down employees, as well as

485
00:27:51.960 --> 00:27:54.799
<v Speaker 1>showing up constantly at the restaurant. We have not been

486
00:27:54.839 --> 00:27:58.559
<v Speaker 1>afforded the time to grieve. Please stop calling, messaging, knocking,

487
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:02.240
<v Speaker 1>and showing up personally. Will not be doing any interviews

488
00:28:02.640 --> 00:28:05.799
<v Speaker 1>or entertaining wild accusations at this time.

489
00:28:06.079 --> 00:28:06.920
<v Speaker 2>What is so again?

490
00:28:06.960 --> 00:28:10.559
<v Speaker 1>What is so wild about saying that Brian Coberger was

491
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:13.640
<v Speaker 1>eating at this restaurant? Now, if somebody came out and

492
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:17.680
<v Speaker 1>said Brian Coberger chloroformed somebody at this restaurant and dragged

493
00:28:17.720 --> 00:28:19.599
<v Speaker 1>them out the door, well, yeah, that would be a

494
00:28:19.640 --> 00:28:23.640
<v Speaker 1>wild accusation, right, But I don't think that saying he

495
00:28:23.720 --> 00:28:26.440
<v Speaker 1>was eating at this restaurant is some kind of crazy

496
00:28:26.480 --> 00:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>conspiracy theory. I mean, they had a vegan menu, he

497
00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:33.680
<v Speaker 1>worked and lived about eight miles away. There's places here

498
00:28:33.720 --> 00:28:36.440
<v Speaker 1>in Las Vegas that are about eight, ten, twelve miles

499
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.559
<v Speaker 1>away from me that I go eat at. So what's

500
00:28:38.599 --> 00:28:41.279
<v Speaker 1>so crazy to think that the dude was there and

501
00:28:41.480 --> 00:28:45.559
<v Speaker 1>ate some food at some point. My employees also feel

502
00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.599
<v Speaker 1>the same to all others. Please don't believe everything you

503
00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>read if it's not coming from the courts or the police,

504
00:28:51.920 --> 00:28:55.680
<v Speaker 1>wait until it does or doesn't before judging. And again,

505
00:28:55.720 --> 00:28:57.960
<v Speaker 1>like I said yesterday, this same can be said for

506
00:28:58.000 --> 00:29:00.599
<v Speaker 1>her statement. It really comes down to who you believe.

507
00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:03.720
<v Speaker 1>And for me, the owner of the Mad Greek obviously

508
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.839
<v Speaker 1>has skin in the game. They don't want a bunch

509
00:29:05.880 --> 00:29:09.079
<v Speaker 1>of lunatics at their restaurant asking questions and I completely

510
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:12.079
<v Speaker 1>get that. But what would people have to gain from

511
00:29:12.119 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 1>making that up? Maybe some clicks, I guess, but really,

512
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:18.200
<v Speaker 1>in the long run, is that going to serve them well?

513
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Making this kind of story up knowing that they're going

514
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:24.400
<v Speaker 1>to be covering it for the duration, it would seem

515
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:27.400
<v Speaker 1>like a terrible strategy to try and get some extra

516
00:29:27.519 --> 00:29:31.039
<v Speaker 1>clicks right here by promoting BS. I just don't see

517
00:29:31.039 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 1>them doing that, although I will say this, it is

518
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the legacy media we're dealing with, so you never know.

519
00:29:36.839 --> 00:29:39.319
<v Speaker 1>I just happen to believe what they're selling here in

520
00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:44.039
<v Speaker 1>this instant. To everyone who has supported myself, my family,

521
00:29:44.200 --> 00:29:47.319
<v Speaker 1>and my employees, thank you your kind words and support

522
00:29:47.599 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>help us get through each day while we navigate these

523
00:29:50.319 --> 00:29:55.720
<v Speaker 1>unknown times. Respectfully, Jackie Fisher of the Mad Greek. So

524
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>that was the response to the People magazine article and

525
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:04.160
<v Speaker 1>information that they released that Brian Kohberger ate at this

526
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Mad Greek at least two times. Well, now People has

527
00:30:07.759 --> 00:30:11.440
<v Speaker 1>responded to this response, So let's dive into this article

528
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.599
<v Speaker 1>from BuzzFeed and let's see what People has to say

529
00:30:14.920 --> 00:30:18.519
<v Speaker 1>about their source and about this information that they brought

530
00:30:18.519 --> 00:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>to the public.

531
00:30:20.240 --> 00:30:23.519
<v Speaker 2>Headline. People said it stands by its reporting that the

532
00:30:23.519 --> 00:30:27.359
<v Speaker 2>Idaho's stabbing suspect ordered pizza from the restaurant where two

533
00:30:27.440 --> 00:30:30.599
<v Speaker 2>of the victims were even though the owner denied it.

534
00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:37.119
<v Speaker 2>This article was authored by Drusilla Morehouse News about the

535
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.079
<v Speaker 2>stabbings of University of Idaho students Kelly Gonsalvez, Matti Mogan,

536
00:30:41.319 --> 00:30:44.839
<v Speaker 2>Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin had slowed to a trickle

537
00:30:45.039 --> 00:30:48.279
<v Speaker 2>after a judge and posed a gag order on January third,

538
00:30:48.759 --> 00:30:53.839
<v Speaker 2>barring investigators, prose prosecutors, and defense attorneys from commenting on

539
00:30:53.920 --> 00:30:58.759
<v Speaker 2>the case. But last week People, which regularly covers true crime,

540
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:02.359
<v Speaker 2>in addition to celebrit He's in entertainment, broke two explosive

541
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:05.839
<v Speaker 2>stories about the man charged with the student's murder. And

542
00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker 2>for those of you who might not know, People is

543
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:12.359
<v Speaker 2>always covering true crime. There's always one or two articles

544
00:31:12.640 --> 00:31:16.240
<v Speaker 2>in each magazine about this or that true crime case,

545
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.119
<v Speaker 2>and they have done a great job throughout the year

546
00:31:19.200 --> 00:31:22.119
<v Speaker 2>is covering it. That's why I'm inclined to believe their sources.

547
00:31:22.799 --> 00:31:25.279
<v Speaker 2>If they were talking about something else, well we'd have

548
00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:29.279
<v Speaker 2>to revisit that, because I'm not really somebody who believes

549
00:31:29.319 --> 00:31:32.920
<v Speaker 2>the legacy media in general when it comes to their nonsense.

550
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.799
<v Speaker 2>But when you're talking about true crime like this, certain

551
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.440
<v Speaker 2>outlets do have better coverage than others, There's no doubt

552
00:31:40.440 --> 00:31:43.359
<v Speaker 2>about it. And People has done a very good job

553
00:31:43.480 --> 00:31:48.400
<v Speaker 2>covering true crime for a long time. The first story,

554
00:31:48.480 --> 00:31:52.799
<v Speaker 2>published on January seventeenth, said that Brian Kohberger had repeatedly

555
00:31:52.920 --> 00:31:56.839
<v Speaker 2>messaged one of the women on Instagram, citing an unnamed

556
00:31:56.880 --> 00:32:00.480
<v Speaker 2>investigative source. The messages were sent from. So what people

557
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 2>said was Coburger's Instagram account, which the outlet said had

558
00:32:04.960 --> 00:32:08.480
<v Speaker 2>viewed before it was removed, and that he had been

559
00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:13.519
<v Speaker 2>following the accounts of Gonsalves, Mogen and ker Noodle. Now

560
00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:16.720
<v Speaker 2>that's something we have talked about here previously, and for me,

561
00:32:16.839 --> 00:32:20.519
<v Speaker 2>it's always been the most likeliest strand that ties these

562
00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:24.039
<v Speaker 2>folks together. Social media, how big it is, how many

563
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:27.279
<v Speaker 2>people are on it, you know how it goes, and

564
00:32:27.359 --> 00:32:29.839
<v Speaker 2>then you add the restaurant to it, and yeah, it

565
00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:32.440
<v Speaker 2>all seems to be fallen into place, at least from

566
00:32:32.480 --> 00:32:38.000
<v Speaker 2>my perspective. The vaguely identified investigative source, a law enforcement

567
00:32:38.079 --> 00:32:41.519
<v Speaker 2>official risking their career by violating the gag order, a

568
00:32:41.640 --> 00:32:45.640
<v Speaker 2>private detective, a family lawyer digging into the case, told

569
00:32:45.720 --> 00:32:49.440
<v Speaker 2>people that the victim never replied to Coburger and may

570
00:32:49.559 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 2>not have seen his messages, but the story spread like wildfire.

571
00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:57.400
<v Speaker 2>It seemed to be the first time a connection had

572
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:01.359
<v Speaker 2>been established between Coburger and the victims and could suggest

573
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:05.039
<v Speaker 2>a motive for the seemingly inexplicable crimes. And now you

574
00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:10.200
<v Speaker 2>see why they're so worried about protecting this information. If

575
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:13.079
<v Speaker 2>this is the motive, if this is what ties it

576
00:33:13.160 --> 00:33:17.319
<v Speaker 2>all together, well it's a big deal. The next day,

577
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:21.279
<v Speaker 2>the judge amended the gag order, instituting sweeping restrictions to

578
00:33:21.400 --> 00:33:26.480
<v Speaker 2>include attorneys representing victims, victims, families, and witnesses. Since then,

579
00:33:26.799 --> 00:33:30.640
<v Speaker 2>twenty two news organizations have formed a coalition to protest

580
00:33:30.680 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 2>the order and ask that it be narrowed. And we

581
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:36.160
<v Speaker 2>talked a little bit about this as well, about how

582
00:33:36.279 --> 00:33:39.519
<v Speaker 2>broad the order is and how it could be challenged,

583
00:33:39.799 --> 00:33:42.519
<v Speaker 2>and we're seeing some of that now already with these

584
00:33:42.599 --> 00:33:48.000
<v Speaker 2>news organizations who have banded together. On January nineteenth, People

585
00:33:48.079 --> 00:33:51.640
<v Speaker 2>published another story drawing a link between the suspected killer

586
00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:55.440
<v Speaker 2>and the victims. Coberger came into the Mad Greek restaurant

587
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.920
<v Speaker 2>where Mogan and Kernodle worked at least twice to order

588
00:33:59.039 --> 00:34:03.079
<v Speaker 2>vegan pizza, reported The source the article said was an

589
00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:07.240
<v Speaker 2>unnamed former employee at the restaurant who remembered Coburger because

590
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:10.000
<v Speaker 2>of his concern over whether his food had come into

591
00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:14.960
<v Speaker 2>contact with animal products. People reported that an unnamed investigator

592
00:34:15.199 --> 00:34:18.199
<v Speaker 2>familiar with the case had said that police were aware

593
00:34:18.559 --> 00:34:21.360
<v Speaker 2>of the restaurant visits. Well, if you look at everything

594
00:34:21.400 --> 00:34:25.360
<v Speaker 2>that we know, or with everything that the police allege

595
00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:27.599
<v Speaker 2>have happened, I guess is the better way to say it,

596
00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:31.440
<v Speaker 2>then he was obviously stalking them. So if he was

597
00:34:31.480 --> 00:34:34.679
<v Speaker 2>stalking them or stalking the house, why would anyone think

598
00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.440
<v Speaker 2>he wouldn't know where they work or pop in to

599
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:41.679
<v Speaker 2>get himself a nice vegan pizza. But Jackie Fisher, the

600
00:34:41.760 --> 00:34:44.559
<v Speaker 2>owner of the Mad Greek lamb, basted people for not

601
00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:48.159
<v Speaker 2>doing its due diligence and running a story with completely

602
00:34:48.280 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 2>fabricated information. It is not true, she said in a

603
00:34:52.119 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 2>January twentieth Facebook post. This person who wants their five

604
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:58.280
<v Speaker 2>minutes of fame has now caused a whole bunch of

605
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:02.639
<v Speaker 2>extra work for myself and the investigators, Fisher said, exhorting

606
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:06.360
<v Speaker 2>people to please don't believe everything you read. She said

607
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 2>she and her staff have been repeatedly harassed by.

608
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Reporters and internet slews, constantly calling and appearing at the restaurant.

609
00:35:13.960 --> 00:35:16.639
<v Speaker 1>We have not been afforded the time to grieve, she said.

610
00:35:16.920 --> 00:35:20.519
<v Speaker 1>Please stop calling messaging, knocking, and showing up. I personally

611
00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:24.199
<v Speaker 1>will not be doing any interviews or entertaining wild accusations

612
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>at this time. My employees also feel the same. So

613
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:29.559
<v Speaker 1>that was the statement we read in the beginning as well,

614
00:35:30.039 --> 00:35:34.639
<v Speaker 1>and once again that's her refuting this story by People magazine.

615
00:35:35.760 --> 00:35:37.880
<v Speaker 2>BuzzFeed News asked People about.

616
00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Fisher disputing reporting in the Mad Greek story and whether

617
00:35:41.400 --> 00:35:45.719
<v Speaker 1>the outlet was sure its unnamed source was reliable. In response,

618
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a People spokesperson said, People stands by its reporting, So

619
00:35:50.280 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>there you go. People says that they're standing by their

620
00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:57.559
<v Speaker 1>reporting and what they say and what they reported was accurate.

621
00:35:58.320 --> 00:36:03.039
<v Speaker 1>The question is what do you believe? All right, folks,

622
00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:05.119
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for this one. All of the

623
