00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. In

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,280
this episode, we're going to get right back to the

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,400
declaration given by Brian Edelman in support of Brian Kohlberger.

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,400
A roommate detailed seeing an individual dressed in black the

5
00:00:14,519 --> 00:00:18,079
night for University of Idaho's students were killed. Peeking out

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,800
from her door. DM did not see anyone at the time.

7
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,320
She later heard crying coming from Xana's room, and DM

8
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:26,920
said that they heard a male voice saying it's okay,

9
00:00:27,239 --> 00:00:31,120
I'm going to help you. DM allegedly looked out their

10
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,880
door again, spotting an individual dressed in black. DM stated

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:39,079
that the individual walked towards them, passing to head towards

12
00:00:39,119 --> 00:00:41,479
the sliding glass door on the back of the residence.

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,640
The person was described as wearing a mask that hid

14
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:47,920
their mouth and nose but left their eyes visible. The

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,079
individual also had bushy eyebrows and appeared to be a

16
00:00:51,119 --> 00:00:54,560
man around the height of five feet eleven inches or taller.

17
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,359
The roommate stated that when she opened her door again,

18
00:00:57,439 --> 00:00:59,840
she heard crying and saw a figure clad in black

19
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:02,640
clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and

20
00:01:02,799 --> 00:01:06,159
nose walking towards her. She described him as at least

21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,000
five foot ten inches, not muscular but athletically built, and

22
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,799
with bushy eyebrows. The mail walked past her as she

23
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:15,840
stood in a frozen shock fase. The mail made his

24
00:01:15,879 --> 00:01:18,599
way toward the sliding glass door, and the roommate locked

25
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:22,439
herself in her room. She stated she did not recognize him.

26
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,840
The warrant details the seizure of nine separate items, which

27
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:30,760
included clothing belonging to Coburger, a flashlight, four medical style gloves,

28
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,280
and a cheek swab from Coburger himself. The list of

29
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,079
items sees during the search include one silver Defiant flashlight,

30
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,519
four medical style gloves, a T shirt, a Washington State

31
00:01:41,599 --> 00:01:46,439
University sweatshirt, a pair of size thirteen Nike shoes, socks, shorts,

32
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:50,000
and boxers. Police also took a DNA swab from his cheek.

33
00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:55,040
That evidence includes one nitril type black glove, multiple hair strands,

34
00:01:55,079 --> 00:01:58,719
including one possibly from an animal, receipts from Walmart and Marshalls,

35
00:01:58,879 --> 00:02:01,920
a dust container from a vacuum, a computer tower, a

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,239
dark red spot, two cuttings from an uncased pillow showing

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,039
a reddish brown stain, and two mattress covers with multiple stains.

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,159
Seized from Coburger's car were sixty three separate items. Notable

39
00:02:14,199 --> 00:02:17,599
items include a knife of unknown type, a pocket knife,

40
00:02:17,759 --> 00:02:21,159
a forty glock with three empty magazines, and several articles

41
00:02:21,199 --> 00:02:24,840
of black clothing, including a black mask. Among the items

42
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:28,400
recovered by police were three knives, including one described as

43
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,199
a smith and western pocket knife and another listed as

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,919
a tailor cutlery knife with a leather sheath. Knives and

45
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,479
a handgun, and multiple articles of black clothing, including a mask,

46
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:42,840
were seized from Brian Colberger's Pennsylvania home. Authorities collected a

47
00:02:42,879 --> 00:02:46,159
disposable black love hair strands and a pillow with a

48
00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:49,599
reddish brown stain, among other items, during a search of

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,439
a Washington State University apartment rented by a man accused

50
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:57,759
of killing four University of Idaho students. Initial analysis showed

51
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,800
blood on two items that police seized during their search

52
00:03:01,039 --> 00:03:05,800
of Moscow homicide suspect Brian Colberger's Washington State University housing

53
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:11,080
documents the university released Thursday revealed testing of fifty items

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,639
found in coburger a student's department in Pullman came back

55
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,439
with at least trace amounts of blood on brown or

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,240
reddish stained betting According to an inventory list obtained by

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,039
The Idaho Statesman through a public records request, a mattress

58
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,039
cover and on case pillows were each positive for blood.

59
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,960
The coverage also focused on Brian Colberger's alibi, which was

60
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,639
called into question in the coverage. On August fourth, twenty

61
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,039
twenty three, it was reported that Coburger claimed to be

62
00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:41,280
on a late drive around the time of the murders.

63
00:03:41,719 --> 00:03:44,120
According to the publicity, he had a habit of going

64
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:47,360
for drives alone, but had not yet developed any evidence

65
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,120
to support his alibi. The media often drew on comments

66
00:03:51,159 --> 00:03:54,840
in the prosecution's filings attacking the alibi, which was described

67
00:03:54,879 --> 00:03:58,960
as vague and lacking supporting evidence. The criticism was left

68
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:03,400
uncontested until April seventeenth, twenty twenty four. Examples of this

69
00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:07,520
type of reporting include Coburger has not yet provided an alibi.

70
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Brian Colberger's attorney claims the murder suspect was out driving

71
00:04:11,719 --> 00:04:15,159
the morning four University of Idaho students were murdered. As

72
00:04:15,199 --> 00:04:17,959
of now, Coberger's only alibi is that he was driving

73
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,399
alone in the evening hours of November twelfth and the

74
00:04:21,439 --> 00:04:25,519
early morning hours of November thirteenth. Colburger often took nighttime

75
00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:30,480
drives to hiking destinations around the Polouse. Taylor claims Coburger

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,199
was driving throughout the area south of Pullman and west

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,600
of Moscow. The man accused of killing four University of

78
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:40,000
Idaho students last fall said he was out driving alone

79
00:04:40,199 --> 00:04:43,160
the night of the attacks. Mister Colberger had a long

80
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,000
habit of going for drives alone, The objection reads, often

81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,399
he would go for drives at night. He did so

82
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,839
late on November twelfth and into November thirteenth, twenty twenty two.

83
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,360
Colberger is not claiming to be at any specific location

84
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,439
at an exact time. The defense wrote, there is not

85
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,399
a specific witness to say precisely where he was at

86
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:06,879
each moment that night. Brian Colberger admits he went on

87
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,279
a late night drive alone around the time of the

88
00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:13,519
November thirteenth quadruple murders in Moscow, but he anticipates witnesses

89
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,519
will corroborate he was not at the King Roade crime

90
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,720
scene that night. Taylor confirmed that Coburger was out driving

91
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,319
late November twelfth into November thirteenth. The four u OFI

92
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,439
students were murdered during the early hours of November thirteenth,

93
00:05:26,519 --> 00:05:30,480
in a home on King Road. Taylor wrote that Coburger

94
00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:32,920
has long had a habit of going for drives alone.

95
00:05:32,959 --> 00:05:35,360
Mister Coburger is not claiming to be at a specific

96
00:05:35,399 --> 00:05:38,120
location at a specific time. At this time, there is

97
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,360
not a specific witness to say precisely where mister Coburger

98
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,000
was at each moment of the hours between late night

99
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,399
November twelfth, twenty twenty two, and early morning November thirteenth,

100
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,839
twenty twenty two. The documents claim that Coburger was an

101
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:54,600
avid hiker and runner that would often go on drives

102
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,040
during the night time. Colberger's alibi is that he was

103
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,079
driving around the night of the murders, and Taylor said

104
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,839
she expects this will be supported by expert testimony. Taylor

105
00:06:04,879 --> 00:06:07,720
said that she's also waiting on cell phone tower information

106
00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:11,319
to support his alibi. Taylor claimed that cell phone data

107
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,160
showed Coburger was driving the mourning for University of Idaho

108
00:06:15,199 --> 00:06:18,600
students were murdered in November of twenty twenty two, but

109
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,319
he was not near the Moscow crime scene. The defense

110
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,439
plans to offer testimony from Siree, an expert who can

111
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,000
explain how Coberger's mobile device shows his vehicle did not

112
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,519
travel to Moscow on November thirteenth, twenty twenty two. Coberger's

113
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,839
defense intends to offer the testimony of Siree, an expert

114
00:06:36,959 --> 00:06:40,360
cell tower information to show that he was south of

115
00:06:40,399 --> 00:06:43,439
Pullman and west of Moscow, and that Coburger did not

116
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,639
travel east on the Moscow Pullman Highway in the early

117
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,839
morning hours of November thirteenth. Data from Coburger's phone includes

118
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:54,040
photographs taken of himself in the countryside late at night

119
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:58,120
and in the early morning on different occasions. Prosecutors in

120
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,040
the Brian Colberger case, the man accused of killing four

121
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,600
University of Idaho students in November of twenty twenty two,

122
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,680
said that his alibi of being around thirty miles from

123
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,360
the crime scene at the time of the murders is

124
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:14,639
too vague. According to court documents, the prosecutors stated that

125
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,959
Coberger's alibi lacks specificity in terms of describing a place

126
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,800
or places at which the defendant claimed to have been

127
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:25,120
at the time of the murders, and names and addresses

128
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,879
of witnesses upon whom he intends to rely his alibi on.

129
00:07:29,519 --> 00:07:32,360
The prosecution said that except for the reference to the

130
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,079
Wawei Park, the alibi does not add any new information

131
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,040
to the original alibi notice. The prosecution also reference the

132
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,439
use of Coburger's cell phone information does not rise to

133
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,240
the level of an alibi at the time of the

134
00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:49,000
homicides because Coburger's cell phone stop reporting to the cellular

135
00:07:49,079 --> 00:07:52,920
network before the homicides and continued to not report until

136
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,680
after the homicides. The prosecution is requesting the court to

137
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:00,519
deny all further opportunities to add any purported claim of

138
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,600
alibi and preclue testimony by anyone other than the defendant.

139
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,480
The prosecutor in the Brian Coburger case says the murder

140
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:10,519
suspects alibi is not specific enough to serve as a

141
00:08:10,519 --> 00:08:15,360
proper alibi defense. Leyta County Prosecutor Bill Thompson argued in

142
00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:18,800
a motion filed Friday that Idaho code requires an alibi

143
00:08:18,879 --> 00:08:22,920
defense to state a specific place or places at which

144
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,240
the defendant claims to have been during the murders. Thompson

145
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:28,800
said this new alibi defense adds little to what the

146
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:33,240
prosecution already knows from the investigation. The defendant is offering

147
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:35,879
nothing new to his initial alibi that he was simply

148
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,840
driving around during the morning hours Thompson also pointed out

149
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,480
that Coburger's cell phone stopped reporting to the cellular network

150
00:08:43,639 --> 00:08:47,039
before the homicides happened, and continued to not report until

151
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,480
after the homicides. The location of the defendant cell phone

152
00:08:50,519 --> 00:08:52,840
at times other than the time of the homicides is

153
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,440
not proof of or relevant to the defendant specific location

154
00:08:56,799 --> 00:09:00,000
at the time of the homicides. Thompson is asking Leaytaki

155
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,919
County District Judge John Judge to deny Coburger more opportunity

156
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,159
to add to his alibi. He also asked Judge to

157
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,080
prohibit anyone other than Coburger to testify about this alibi.

158
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,519
In Grid Beaty, the Idaho Deputy Attorney General who was

159
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,360
assisting the prosecution, said she's confused about how cell tower

160
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,200
data can support his alibi defense. The Leata County community

161
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,720
has come together in support of the victims and their families.

162
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,519
For example, there were several candlelight vigils and a memorial

163
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,480
created to remember the victims. The home where the murders

164
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,840
occurred was donated to the university and later demolished. Multiple

165
00:09:36,879 --> 00:09:40,200
groups were created on social media and thousands of posts

166
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,080
appeared with the hashtag vandal strong members of the victims'

167
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,679
families used the media as an outlet to remember their

168
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,639
lost loved ones and voice their frustrations as the case

169
00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:53,320
moved through the court system. Examples of this type of

170
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,159

00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,159
emotional healing. There will be a special monument to honor

213
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,559
