The Idaho Murders | The Case Against Bryan Kohberger

In a startling revelation, an explosive new book claims Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the brutal murders of four Idaho college students, had a single target on the night of the crime. According to investigative journalist Howard Blum's forthcoming book, *When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders*, Kohberger intended to kill Madison Mogen specifically, dispelling notions of a random killing spree. Blum's book, set to be released on June 25, unveils significant details about the tragic night in November 2022 when Mogen, along with Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, lost their lives. “Officials believe Kohberger was after Mogen because he passed the rooms of two surviving roommates before starting the killing spree,” Blum explained in an interview with ABC News. “If he was just on a killing spree, it would have been natural, instinctive, to go to one of those doors. Instead, he goes up this narrow staircase and he turns directly into Maddie's room, and I think Maddie was his target.” Further compounding the tragedy, Blum reveals that Kohberger's family had harbored suspicions about him even before his arrest. Kohberger’s father, Michael, reportedly felt uneasy when he picked up his son from school after the murders. “[Michael] has been reading the headlines - he knows that four students were killed 12 miles from his son’s house. He knows what a troubled son he has,” Blum noted. Despite these concerns, Michael did not confront his son about the possible connection. The book also details an instance where one of Kohberger’s sisters approached their father to voice her suspicions. However, Michael chose to dismiss her concerns. “He can’t confront it,” Blum said about Michael's reaction at the time. On the night of the murders, the two surviving roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, reportedly used their cellphones to communicate during and after the incident. Mortensen, 21, allegedly called out to her friends and roommates during the early morning hours of November 13 to quiet down. “Calm down, you’re being loud!” she reportedly yelled around 4 a.m., followed by, “I’m trying to sleep!” Mortensen later opened her door and saw Kohberger, whom she believed to be a partygoer, walking past her toward the back exit of the house. Law enforcement determined that the four students were killed between 4 and 4:25 a.m., but it took another eight hours before police were called to the off-campus residence. In December 2022, Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania at his parents' house and charged with the murders. Despite the mounting evidence, Kohberger has pled not guilty. His trial has yet to be scheduled, as prosecutors and defense attorneys continue to wrangle over the evidence and other data gathered throughout the investigation. A hearing on June 27 will discuss the schedule for the rest of the case, including dates for the trial and possible sentencing. In a significant development earlier this month, a judge allowed investigators working for Kohberger’s defense team to review sealed DNA records used to narrow the pool of potential suspects. The DNA was crucial in the investigative genetic genealogy process, which involves running material found at the crime scene through public genealogical databases to identify suspects or their relatives. Kohberger’s attorneys are also seeking a change of venue, a request that the judge has yet to rule on. The case continues to grip the nation, with the upcoming book by Blum expected to shed more light on the complexities and heartbreaking details of the murders. *When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders* promises to be a revealing account, offering new insights and provoking further questions about one of the most shocking crimes in recent memory.

In a recent episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," former felony prosecutor and attorney Eric Faddis discusses the ongoing pre-trial hearings for Bryan Kohberger. Defense attorney Ann Taylor has raised concerns about missing evidence, specifically location data crucial to the case. Faddis explains that disputes over evidence disclosure are common, with defense attorneys needing all available evidence to prepare their case effectively. The missing data, such as significant location information along the Moscow-Pullman Road and around the crime scene, could impact the prosecution's ability to place Kohberger at the crime scene. Taylor's concerns include missing video evidence from security cameras. Faddis notes that such oversight might stem from inexperience in handling high-profile cases in small communities. The conversation underscores the importance of a fair trial with both sides having access to all evidence, avoiding "trial by ambush." **Main Points:** - Bryan Kohberger's pre-trial hearings focus on evidence admissibility. - Defense attorney Ann Taylor highlights missing significant location data. - Missing data includes travel routes and areas around the crime scene. - Potential explanations for missing data include technical issues like dead zones. - Disputes over evidence disclosure are common and can impact trial fairness. - The defense could argue to exclude incomplete locational data, which would be detrimental to the prosecution. - Additional missing video evidence from security cameras has been requested. - Oversights in evidence disclosure might stem from lack of experience in high-profile cases. - Ensuring a fair trial requires transparent evidence sharing between prosecution and defense. #BryanKohberger #AnnTaylor #EricFaddis #PreTrialHearings #MissingEvidence #HiddenKillersPodcast #FairTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

A pretrial hearing in the case against Bryan Kohberger, the graduate student accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, has brought to light significant challenges related to cell phone data collection and recordkeeping. Cellphone analyst Sy Ray, expected to testify as an expert witness at trial, expressed concerns about the accuracy and organization of evidence provided by law enforcement. A pretrial hearing in the case against Bryan Kohberger, the graduate student accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students, revealed significant challenges related to cellphone data collection and recordkeeping. Cellphone analyst Sy Ray, who is expected to testify as an expert witness at trial, raised concerns about the accuracy and organization of the evidence provided by law enforcement. Ray, a former police detective from Arizona, typically serves as an expert witness for prosecutors in criminal cases. However, his testimony in this case has raised eyebrows due to its potential impact on the prosecution’s narrative. The key issues highlighted during the hearing include: Disorganized Data Collection: Law enforcement’s approach to data collection, particularly regarding cell phone records, has been disorganized. Not all of the data extracted from Kohberger’s phone around the time of the 2022 murders was accurately mapped. Crucial Evidence Under Scrutiny: Prosecutors are heavily relying on Kohberger’s cell phone use and cell tower records to link him to the location of the killings. Ray emphasized the critical need for accurate data to establish probable cause. Benefit to the Defense: Ray’s testimony revealed that missing or inaccurate data favors the defense. Every gap in the evidence potentially strengthens Kohberger’s case. Unclear Circumstances: Ray questioned whether the missing data resulted from human error, accidental oversight, or intentional actions. Ongoing Legal Battles and Trial Delays: The defense is pressing the judge to compel prosecutors to turn over specific evidence during the discovery phase. DNA experts are expected to testify in a later closed hearing. Trial delays have frustrated families of the victims, hindering their healing process. Latah County Trial Location: A hearing on whether to move the trial out of Latah County has been further delayed to Aug. 29. The families of the victims, including Kaylee Goncalves, have expressed their frustration with the slow pace of legal proceedings. They seek justice and closure, but the ongoing delays continue to impede their healing process. As the trial date approaches, the courtroom drama intensifies, leaving everyone anxiously awaiting the resolution of this high-profile case. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a recent episode of the podcast 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' former prosecutor Eric Faddis discussed the ongoing case against Bryan Kohberger, who has been accused of a serious crime but has presented a questionable alibi involving his fondness for nocturnal activities like hiking under the moon and stars. This alibi has been scrutinized due to the lack of corroborative evidence and because Kohberger's cell phone was reportedly off during the time of the alleged crimes. Faddis elaborates on the legal complexities of presenting an alibi defense, the standards required for its acceptance, and the implications of failing to establish a convincing alibi. He also touched on the potential change of trial venue due to community and defendant's rights to a fair trial, illustrating the strategic maneuvers in high-profile legal battles. Main Points: - Bryan Kohberger's defense has offered an alibi involving his interest in the moon and stars, which the prosecution has challenged due to the lack of supportive evidence. - The defense's claim is weakened by the absence of an active cell phone to track Kohberger's location during the time of the alleged crimes. - Legal requirements for an alibi include substantial evidence, typically from a witness, which Kohberger's defense does not have. - If the alibi is deemed insufficient, the defense may need to indirectly suggest Kohberger's absence from the crime scene during the trial. - The decision on the trial's venue is pending, balancing community interests against the necessity of a fair trial to avoid appellate issues. #BryanKohberger #TonyBrueski #EricFaddis #HiddenKillersPodcast #AlibiDefense #FairTrial #ChangeOfVenue Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In a tense courtroom session in Moscow, Idaho, Bryan Kohberger, the Ph.D. student facing charges for the murders of four University of Idaho students, contested a prosecution motion to close an upcoming hearing concerning key genetic evidence. Kohberger’s defense team levied serious accusations against the FBI, claiming that vital evidence had been altered before being handed over, including a surveillance video purportedly placing Kohberger’s vehicle at the crime scene. During Thursday's hearing, Anne Taylor, Kohberger’s lead defense attorney and the Kootenai County public defender, disclosed frustrations with the prosecution's handling of evidence. "The public needs to know that they've withheld the audio," Taylor revealed, suggesting that the full extent of the surveillance recordings had not been shared with the defense or the public. The courtroom battle is not just over the evidence, but also its visibility to the public. Taylor and her team are advocating for an open discovery hearing, opposing the prosecution's request for a closed session. Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ashley Jennings argued that the proceedings have been and should remain under seal to protect the integrity of the ongoing case. "This is entirely inconsistent," Jennings stated during the proceedings, emphasizing that the state would ensure transparency when appropriate, but maintained that "now is not the time for that." The defense's motion suggests a growing concern over public perception and the potential influence of pretrial publicity. Taylor accused the prosecutors of trying to keep the evidence "in a vacuum," thus controlling how the public perceives Kohberger's involvement in the crimes. "Bryan's the one with the right," she argued, referencing his Sixth Amendment rights to a public hearing. Judge John Judge, presiding over the hearing, expressed skepticism about the necessity of a fully public hearing at this stage. "I totally understand that Mr. Kohberger has a constitutional right to a public trial, but having a hearing is not a trial," he clarified. He hinted at the possibility of a closed-door hearing with subsequent information release, aiming to balance judicial transparency with the necessity of confidentiality during ongoing investigations. As the hearing progressed, tensions flared, prompting Judge to call for professionalism. "Tone it down," he urged the attorneys, indicating the intense emotions and stakes involved in the proceedings. The debate over the handling of the video evidence — specifically, the edited version allegedly connecting Kohberger to the crime scene — continues to stir controversy. David Gelman, a former prosecutor and defense attorney from New Jersey, sided with Taylor's perspective on the necessity of unedited evidence. "Prosecutors should not have handed over an edited video," Gelman commented, highlighting the critical role of complete and unaltered evidence in ensuring a fair trial. The strategic legal battles in Kohberger’s case may also influence the trial's location, with discussions about potentially moving it out of Latah County to ensure a less biased jury pool. This legal maneuvering underscores the complexities of a case that has captured national attention, setting the stage for further dramatic developments as both sides prepare for the upcoming trial phases.

In the episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," guest Robin Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent, discusses the controversial alibi defense presented by Bryan Kohberger, accused of multiple murders. Kohberger’s defense claims he was out for his routine late-night hike and stargazing when the murders occurred. His attorneys are bringing in an expert to corroborate this with cell phone tower data, despite his phone being off on the night of the murders. The podcast delves into the challenges of validating such an alibi against strong physical evidence like DNA found at the crime scene. It also explores the implications of using behavioral patterns and technological data in crafting a defense strategy, highlighting the skepticism surrounding the effectiveness of such an alibi in the face of damning evidence. **Main Points of the Conversation:** - Kohberger’s defense claims he was engaged in routine late-night activities away from the crime scene. - An expert will testify on the cell phone data to partially support Kohberger's alibi. - The cell phone was off on the night of the murders, creating a gap in the alibi. - DNA evidence found at the crime scene strongly contradicts the alibi defense. - Discussion on the limitations and challenges of using behavior patterns and technological data in legal defenses. - Doubts about the credibility of Kohberger's alibi given his personality traits and evidence pointing to his presence near the crime scene. #BryanKohberger #TonyBrueski #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillersPodcast #CellPhoneData #DNAEvidence #AlibiDefense #CriminalJustice #MurderTrial #BehavioralAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the podcast episode of 'Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski,' featuring guest Shavaun Scott, a psychotherapist and author, the discussion revolves around the ongoing legal defense of Bryan Kohberger. Kohberger's alibi that he likes to drive around at night to stargaze, which the court initially found inadequate, is critiqued. The updated alibi adds little, merely including details about cell phone locations when the phone was supposedly off. The conversation expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of this alibi and discusses the broader implications of using competing experts in digital forensics to create confusion and potentially instill reasonable doubt among jurors. The dialogue also touches on the lack of support from those who know Kohberger personally, highlighting that no positive character witnesses have emerged, contrasting with the online communities prematurely declaring his innocence. The episode delves into the complexities and potential desperation in the defense's strategy, including an exploration of how Kohberger's behavior could be perceived by a jury. **Main Points:** - Kohberger's alibi involves mundane activities like driving at night to look at stars, considered insufficient by the court. - Updated defense includes details about his phone being off during crucial times, aiming to prove his absence from the crime scene. - Discussion on the strategy of employing expert witnesses to counteract prosecution evidence and create jury confusion. - Reflection on the lack of personal support for Kohberger, with acquaintances only describing him as odd or disturbing. - Consideration of the defense's potential long-term strategy and the challenges it faces in proving Kohberger's innocence. #Hashtags: #HiddenKillersWithTonyBrueski #ShavaunScott #BryanKohberger #LegalDefense #Alibi #DigitalForensics #JuryStrategy Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," attorney Eric Faddis discusses the latest developments in the case against Bryan Kohberger, focusing on his newly claimed alibi. Kohberger claims he was out driving alone at night, observing the moon and stars, during the time of the alleged crimes. The defense plans to support this with testimony from a cell phone tower and radio frequency expert. Faddis critiques the alibi as traditional defenses usually require an alibi witness, which Kohberger lacks. The discussion also covers the strategic risks and potential impacts of introducing such an alibi, considering the existing evidence, including cell phone triangulation data that places Kohberger at the crime scene with his phone turned off during the critical times. Faddis and Brueski discuss the implications for Kohberger's defense, questioning the logic and effectiveness of presenting an alibi that might be perceived as hollow or easily contestable in court. Main Points of the Conversation - Discussion on Bryan Kohberger's alibi of being alone, driving and observing the night sky during the crime. - Critique of the alibi's strength due to lack of traditional alibi witnesses. - Explanation of legal requirements for an alibi defense, particularly the need for credible witness testimony. - Analysis of the potential role and effectiveness of a cell phone tower and radio frequency expert in corroborating Kohberger’s alibi. - The possible strategic missteps by the defense in choosing to present a weak alibi instead of focusing on creating reasonable doubt with available evidence. - Consideration of how Kohberger’s antisocial tendencies could be perceived by the jury and whether these characteristics might influence the defense strategy. - The challenges of presenting evidence when key data (like cell phone location tracking) is unavailable due to the phone being turned off. #BryanKohberger #EricFaddis #LegalAnalysis #AlibiDefense #CellPhoneData #HiddenKillersWithTonyBrueski #CriminalDefense Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In this episode of "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski," retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer provides an in-depth analysis of Bryan Kohberger's defense strategy concerning his alibi. Kohberger claims he was out stargazing alone at the time of the crime, an alibi supported by little evidence and a deactivated cellphone, making it hard to verify his whereabouts. Coffindaffer is skeptical about the effectiveness of the cell phone expert planned by the defense, considering the device was off. She discusses how such tactics might aim to confuse the jury rather than establish a credible alibi. The conversation also touches on comparisons to other high-profile cases, discussing the challenges and strategies in presenting digital evidence. Coffindaffer questions the decision to even present such a weak alibi, suggesting it may have been a desperate move by the defense attorney, Ann Taylor, who is described as a vigorous advocate for her client despite the uphill battle she faces. **Main Points:** - Bryan Kohberger’s alibi involves him being alone on a stargazing trip during the crime, with his phone turned off, complicating efforts to confirm his claims. - The defense plans to introduce a cell phone expert to substantiate Kohberger’s location, despite skepticism about the reliability of such testimony given the phone was off. - Jennifer Coffindaffer expresses doubt about the defense's strategy, suggesting it may be intended more to confuse the jury than to clear Kohberger. - Comparisons are drawn to other cases emphasizing the importance and intricacy of handling digital evidence in court. - Discussion on the role of defense attorney Ann Taylor, highlighting her aggressive defense tactics and the difficult position she is in. #HiddenKillersWithTonyBrueski #JenniferCoffindaffer #BryanKohberger #AnnTaylor #AlibiDefense #DigitalEvidence #CellphoneExpert Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In an intriguing podcast episode, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke unpack the bewildering move by Ann Taylor, defense attorney for Bryan Kohberger, in sending a detailed questionnaire to potential jurors that seemed more likely to incriminate her client than defend him. This unconventional strategy, filled with pointed questions that highlight the evidence against Kohberger, has left many scratching their heads about Taylor's true intentions. Is this an elaborate ploy to get the trial moved, a desperate attempt to sow seeds of doubt, or merely a misstep in a high-stakes game of legal chess? The conversation explores the possible repercussions of this approach, including the ethical implications and potential backlash from the judicial system. With the jury pool now possibly more tainted than ever, the duo speculates on Taylor's endgame and the potential for her actions to backfire spectacularly. Main Points: Discussion on Ann Taylor's unusual decision to send a potentially incriminating questionnaire to potential jurors in the Kohberger case. Speculation about Taylor's motives, including an attempt to move the trial or prepare for an appeal. Consideration of the psychological impact of the questionnaire, which could pique curiosity and further bias the jury pool. The ethical and professional ramifications of Taylor's actions, with potential consequences from the judiciary. Puzzlement over the defense's strategy, which seems to contradict the usual goal of sowing doubt in the prosecution's case. #BryanKohberger #AnnTaylor #JuryPool #LegalStrategy #EthicalDilemmas #TrueCrime #LegalTwists Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
