As we continue to learn more about Bryan Kohberger, a pattern of behavior has popped up time and time again. In this episode, we hear once again, how Bryan Kohberger was investigated as a youth, this time during his high school years. His behavior led to him being removed from the program he was attending for law enforcement, acting as a foreshadowing to what we watched unfold in Pullman.We also take another look at the proceedings from Friday and the reports that one of the members of the Goncalves family was rocking a shirt in support of death by firing squad.(commercial at 10:14)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger Investigated as a Teenager, School Administrator Reveals (newsweek.com)source:Relative of Idaho killings victim wears T-shirt with pro-firing squad message at suspect’s hearing | The IndependentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
According to classmates and colleagues, Bryan Kohberger had a noticable change in his behavior whenever the topic of the brutal slaying of four college students in Idaho was brought up and not offer any opinions, unlike when other topics were discussed on class. We also hear that Bryan Kohberger and the emails he sent to his colleagues and students have been purged from the system.

Jane Doe #2’s 2007 statement to Marie Villafaña and federal investigators described a pattern of recruitment, abuse, and normalization inside Jeffrey Epstein’s operation, beginning when she was a minor. She said she was introduced to Epstein under the guise of paid “massage” work and quickly realized the encounters involved sexual acts, including being directed to perform sexual contact on Epstein. According to her account, the environment was controlled and transactional, with Epstein dictating the terms and presenting the abuse as routine, while payments were made in cash after each encounter.Jane Doe #2 also told investigators that she was not isolated, explaining that other young girls were present or discussed openly, reinforcing the impression that this was an organized and recurring operation rather than a one-off incident. She described how Epstein’s behavior was methodical and rehearsed, suggesting long-standing patterns rather than impulsive misconduct.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:.gov.uscourts.flsd.317867.403.3.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Jeffrey Epstein’s relationship with Les Wexner was not just financial—it was the foundation of Epstein’s rise from a mysterious money manager to a figure embedded in the world of extreme wealth and power. Wexner, the billionaire founder of L Brands and longtime CEO of Victoria’s Secret, granted Epstein unprecedented access to his fortune, his homes, and his reputation. Epstein was given power of attorney over Wexner’s finances, a level of trust so unusual it raised questions about the true nature of their bond. This arrangement allowed Epstein to control massive sums of Wexner’s wealth, acquire luxury properties, and build the image of legitimacy he later used to lure victims and cultivate influence..Yet Wexner has long insisted that he, too, was deceived by Epstein, claiming that Epstein stole money and betrayed his trust. That narrative, however, collapses under scrutiny. Maria Farmer’s testimony places abuse at Wexner’s heavily guarded Ohio estate, and Epstein’s use of Wexner’s assets—such as the Manhattan townhouse he effectively gifted him—suggests far more than a duped investor. The fact that Wexner enabled Epstein’s ascent, while escaping the same level of media and legal accountability as other Epstein associates, underscores how wealth and influence insulated him. Their relationship was not incidental; it was the keystone that transformed Epstein from a grifter into a predator with access to the corridors of power.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Jane Doe 43 accuses Jeffrey Epstein and several of his closest associates—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Lesley Groff, and Natalya Malyshev—of participating in and facilitating Epstein’s long-running sex trafficking operation. The complaint, brought through her legal counsel, alleges that the defendants were not only aware of the abuse but were active participants in grooming, recruiting, and coercing underage girls to engage in sexual acts with Epstein and his powerful associates. Jane Doe 43 claims she was one of the many young victims ensnared in this network, suffering serious emotional and physical harm as a result.The lawsuit paints a picture of an organized, high-functioning operation where each defendant played a specific role in maintaining Epstein’s trafficking enterprise. Maxwell is described as the primary enabler who helped lure and manipulate girls, while Kellen, Groff, and Malyshev are portrayed as essential logistical coordinators who scheduled encounters, managed Epstein’s properties, and ensured a steady supply of victims. By demanding a jury trial, Jane Doe 43 is seeking accountability not only from Epstein’s estate but also from the living co-conspirators who, she alleges, helped facilitate the abuse and enabled his crimes to continue for years without interruption.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - RansomeComplaint - Final for FilingBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In the case Jane Doe v. Sean Combs, et al., Case No. 1:24-cv-08054, the plaintiff, proceeding under a pseudonym, filed a lawsuit against Sean Combs and associated entities, alleging sexual assault and related misconduct. The complaint details incidents from approximately twenty years ago, asserting that Combs engaged in non-consensual sexual acts and inflicted emotional distress upon the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks a jury trial to address these allegations and obtain appropriate legal remedies.Subsequently, the plaintiff requested permission to proceed under a pseudonym, citing concerns for personal safety and privacy. However, on October 30, 2024, the court denied this motion, emphasizing the importance of transparency in judicial proceedings and the defendants' right to a fair defense. The court ordered the plaintiff to refile the complaint under her legal name by November 13, 2024, to proceed with the case.In this episode, we get a look at the complaint and the name of the accuser.   (commercial at 7:23)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.630450.23.0.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Jean-Luc Brunel’s downfall was long, slow, and ultimately terminal, shaped by years of mounting allegations that finally caught up with him once Jeffrey Epstein’s empire collapsed into public view. As a French modeling agent with deep ties to Epstein, Brunel had been accused for decades by multiple women of sexual assault, rape, and trafficking under the guise of modeling opportunities, often involving minors. For years, those accusations lingered in the shadows—reported, dismissed, settled quietly, or stalled by jurisdictional inertia—while Brunel continued operating within elite fashion and social circles. That insulation cracked after Epstein’s 2019 arrest and death, which forced renewed scrutiny onto his inner circle and revived allegations that had never been fully resolved. French prosecutors reopened investigations, survivors came forward in greater numbers and with greater confidence, and Brunel’s role shifted from background enabler to central target.In 2020, Brunel was arrested in France and charged with multiple counts including rape of a minor and sexual assault, marking a definitive end to the protection his proximity to wealth and power had once afforded him. He was held in pretrial detention while investigators worked through a sprawling case built on survivor testimony spanning decades and continents, a stark reversal from the impunity he had previously enjoyed. In February 2022, before any trial could begin, Brunel was found dead in his prison cell in what authorities ruled a suicide, bringing legal proceedings to an abrupt halt but not erasing the weight of the allegations against him. His death closed the door on courtroom accountability but underscored a broader truth of the Epstein saga: that many of the men who operated inside that world relied on delay, denial, and institutional fatigue as shields—and that even when those shields finally failed, full justice remained elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

According to a source who is familiar with the investigation, Bryan Kohberger was stalking his victim(s) for weeks before the actual murders. He also was very, very careful about leaving traces of his DNA whenever he was out in public in Pennsylvania, even going so far as to wear gloves while going out to cover his tracks. The source also says that Kohberger is not stupid and has taken steps to cover his tracks.Let's check it out!(commercial at 6:38)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Idaho suspect stalked victims for WEEKS and wore GLOVES | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Clayton Howard’s declaration lays out a first-person account meant to establish a pattern of coercion, violence, and control surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs, while reinforcing the broader allegations raised in related civil litigation involving Cassie. Howard describes his proximity to Combs during key periods and frames himself as a direct witness to abusive behavior, not a distant observer relying on rumor. The declaration emphasizes power imbalance, alleging that Combs used wealth, influence, and intimidation to control environments and people around him. Howard asserts that the conduct he witnessed was not isolated or misunderstood, but repetitive and normalized within Combs’ inner circle. He details how fear and career consequences discouraged people from speaking out at the time. The document is written to counter any narrative that these allegations are exaggerated or opportunistic. Its core purpose is to show continuity, credibility, and corroboration. Howard positions his testimony as evidence that the alleged abuse was an open secret to those close enough to see it.In support of his lawsuit, Howard’s declaration also focuses on the emotional and psychological toll of witnessing and navigating that environment. He describes feeling trapped between personal safety, professional survival, and moral responsibility, underscoring why silence persisted for so long. The filing frames Cassie’s allegations not as an anomaly, but as consistent with behavior Howard claims to have observed firsthand. Howard asserts that retaliation, intimidation, and control were standard tools used to maintain silence. The declaration is structured to meet the evidentiary burden of civil litigation by grounding claims in specific interactions and timeframes rather than broad accusations. It aims to bolster credibility by acknowledging the risks and delays involved in coming forward. Ultimately, the declaration functions as both corroboration and escalation, signaling that Cassie’s lawsuit is not standing alone. It presents itself as another piece of a growing evidentiary record challenging Combs’ public persona.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.nysd.628425.552.1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Kenneth Starr’s email to Mark Filip wasn’t just a lawyer whining about aggressive prosecutors—it was a calculated appeal to the very power center that ultimately let Epstein walk. Starr complained bitterly that the Florida team was digging too hard and treating Epstein like an actual criminal instead of the elite figure his defense team believed he was. What Starr was really doing was pressuring Filip—one of the highest-ranking officials in the Department of Justice—to step in and shut down a legitimate investigation. And the troubling part is that the email landed exactly where Epstein’s legal machine wanted it: at the top of Main Justice, the same place that would go on to bless the non-prosecution agreement. The narrative that Alex Acosta “acted alone” collapses under the weight of communications like this. Starr wasn’t appealing to Acosta. He was appealing above him—because that’s where the real decision-making power sat.Filip’s role in all this is even more damning when you consider the final outcome. DOJ headquarters didn’t just look the other way—they authorized the sweetheart deal. They were the backstop that allowed Epstein’s legal team to bypass federal prosecutors who wanted to charge Epstein with crimes carrying real prison time. Filip didn’t just receive the email; Main Justice effectively delivered what Epstein’s lawyers asked for. The infamous non-prosecution agreement wasn’t Acosta freelancing—it was Washington signing off. The email illustrates how Epstein’s team successfully moved the fight out of Florida and into D.C., where connections, prestige, and pressure carried far more weight than the testimony of dozens of abused children. Filip and Main Justice weren’t bystanders—they were the reason the deal happened.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.317867.403.22_1.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
