Killer who stabbed 4 Idaho students to death still at large​

The killer — or killers — who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death remained at large Tuesday, prompting many students to leave the campus in the idyllic small town despite police assurances that there was no imminent risk to the community.

So many students had left the scenic tree-lined campus in Moscow, Idaho, by Tuesday that university officials said a candlelight vigil scheduled for the next day would instead be held after the Thanksgiving break.

The students, all close friends, were found dead in an off-campus rental home around noon on Sunday, and officials said they likely were killed several hours earlier. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt told the Spokane, Washington-based television station KXLY that her preliminary investigation showed the students were stabbed to death. There is no indication that substance use was involved in the deaths, Mabbutt said.

Well, I believe in the public having every chance to tor get a seat. Of course vic family seats should be reserved.

His best course would to be ensure this is televised. When all it was was many reporters in Delphi taking notes, most of the news reporters were not coveringly nearly what YTers were like Tom and I think HTC was there, a couple.

they had to wait in line for seats, at least then they can get their early and get one if motivated enough generally. It wasn't very nice but that's how it worked.

an online system who knows.

I'll only say one reporter imo isn't going to give us great or full coverage. Nate plans on covering it, now we have to hope he gets a seat and that they can at least tweet.

It doesn't say they are excluded it sounds like, just not guaranteed seats.

If it's important that the county residents of where it happened get to watch and it's now hundreds of miles away, hopefully it will be live streamed so they CAN see it.

TBH the county where it happened is possibly not necessarily the home counties of the victims of which there will be four families to seat as well as the defendant's family. The reporters, like Nate, are sure willing to queue early to get a seat but the court should reserve more than one seat for media, that's ridiculous otherwise IMO. And yes, live streaming will help greatly, as it has in the Daybell trial, which is being held in a tiny courtroom. It's smaller than my local magistrates courtroom.

It's quite a ways for a couple of the families pretty sure. I know a couple are fundraising, it's going to be a long trial, they need hotel rooms or an AIR BNB or something, travel, food. Scott said the count should be covering that for the victim families (lodging anyhow), he wasn't sure what the deal was. Oh and for missed time from work. Various things.

I wish he'd make a decision on streaming. I dont think he has, has he? If he thinks the public has such an interest and a right then he should go for it.

Yeah media at least should be able to get in like anyone by beingi first in line but it sounds like it's done here like some online lottery so unsure what the process will be. Also, he is allowing for one LOCAL reporter. I sure hope whoever it is knows how to get it out to everyone and does so.

There's not going to be a line. It's an online ticketing system.

From my post above

"He wrote that "one pooled seat for a member of Latah County local media of wide circulation will be reserved."

The person using that seat "must agree to act as a pooled journalist" and share coverage with all media outlets, Hippler added.
Other reporters and members of the public will need to use the court's online ticketing system for a chance to attend the trial."

‘It is time’: Prosecutors rebuff Bryan Kohberger’s request to delay Idaho murder trial​

Prosecutors in the University of Idaho student homicides objected to delaying the summer murder trial for defendant Bryan Kohberger, arguing evidence leaks that likely violated the case’s gag order are negligible.

“It is time to try this case. (The) defendant was arrested in late December of 2022 and was indicted in May of 2023,” lead prosecutor Bill Thompson wrote in a legal brief posted Tuesday. “While the publicity surrounding this trial is a challenge, defendant has not shown — and cannot show — that continuing this trial will make things any easier. It is just as likely that delay will make it harder to seat a jury.”

Kohberger’s defense attorneys asked last month to postpone the trial in Boise, citing a recent episode of NBC’s “Dateline” that aired in May and revealed previously unreleased details about the defendant and the investigation. They also wrote that they had insufficient time to review all outstanding investigation materials — an argument Ada County Judge Steven Hippler dismissed at a prior hearing.

Thompson, who heads up the Latah County Prosecutor’s Office, acknowledged in the 22-page objection that the two-hour “Dateline” episode posed difficulties for both sides. But the defense team’s reliance on the leaked evidence to push back the trial was “misplaced,” he wrote.

The Idaho Supreme Court has long recognized that an impartial jury can be selected despite widespread publicity, Thompson argued. The looming trial isn’t the Ada County Courthouse’s first experience with a “highly publicized trial,” he said, pointing to the criminal case of Lori Vallow Daybell.

“The court’s carefully crafted jury selection process has every chance to produce an impartial jury,” Thompson wrote. “If an individual has been so impacted by the Dateline episode (or any other publicity) that they cannot be impartial, they will not be seated as a juror.

“Indeed, this case is not the Ada County judiciary’s first experience with a highly publicized trial in recent years. Like the court in the Vallow Daybell trial, this court is well-equipped to select a jury, to handle ongoing media coverage, and to conduct a fair trial in the Ada County Courthouse.”

Prosecutors are committed to complying with the gag order, Thompson added, and will do everything in their power to “prevent leaks” and assist in determining who provided the details to ”Dateline.” Hippler previously invited the defense to file for him to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the source of the leaks, but so far no such request appears to have been made.


A hearing is scheduled for June 18 for oral arguments on a possible delay of the trial. A closed-door portion will follow for arguments over whether Kohberger’s attorneys can present to the jury a legal defense of an alternative perpetrator. In another filing published Tuesday, the prosecution objected to the defense’s argument to introduce evidence of another suspect.
 
I like the P's response here. All great points imo.

So D can file for a special prosecutor to investigate the leak but haven't bothered yet try to use it and complain about it. Yah, that makes a lot of sense if such a big deal to them. Not.
 
Oh good. Another pre-trial documentary.

Key witness in Idaho college murders case breaks silence in new docuseries

An exclusive first look at a new docuseries, revealing what happened the morning after four University of Idaho students were murdered

Key witness in Idaho college murders case breaks silence in new docuseries​

The friends who were first on the scene are now telling their story in Prime Video's "One Night In Idaho: The College Murders."

Emily Alandt, her boyfriend Hunter Johnson and roommate Joise Lauteren lived just down the street from the King Road house, and on that November morning, they say one of the surviving roommates called, saying she was scared and asking them to come over.

"When Dylan had called, I didn't think it was urgent, so I start walking to Xana's house, and when we got there, Dylan and Bethany had exited the house," Alandt said

Seeing her friends sitting in the driveway, Alandt knew right away something was wrong.

"They looked frightened. Just hands on the mouth like, 'I don't know what's going on' type of thing," Alandt recalled.

Johnson immediately went to investigate.

"When I was going up the stairs, Hunter Johnson was already in the house. We were just a bit behind," Alandt said.

"As soon as I stepped in the house, I was just like, 'Oh, something is so not right,' like you could almost feel it," Lauteren recalled.

They didn't know it yet, but their very best friends Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen had all been murdered.

Johnson was the first to realize the tragedy. He is heard on the 911 call rushing everyone outside.

"Get out, get out, get out!" he said while on the phone with dispatchers.

Ethan was the eldest of triplets. His siblings, Hunter and Mazie, who were also attending the University of Idaho, were called to the home amid the horror.

But it would be hours before they would all learn their loved ones had been murdered.

Now, they are trying to understand the worst homicide the small town of Moscow, Idaho, had ever seen.

"There's this person out there who had just murdered our brother and he's still out there somewhere," Hunter Chapin said.

Ethan's parents and siblings are featured in the series. Maddie's parents were interviewed as well.

The docuseries premieres July 11 on Prime Video, which is exactly one month before the trial is expected to start.

Maybe you and I agree on this if I read your comment right. I am NOT a fan of these things. I do NOT agree with them. I've NEVER heard of these two before. Then two families involved as well. Justice FIRST.

This case has been as protected as can be while not entirely sealed and they don't need to be doing this just before trial!! Won't necessarily work for them, who knows, but the D is trying to use anything they can get their hands on! Really stupid of anyone who participated imo.

This is happening it seems in all lately. The high profile ones for sure. It's bad enough if whatever production company can't get anyone and they just make their own.

Venting a bit I guess. I'm all for a GOOD documentary even but at the right time. Imo justice always needs to be the top motivation and come first. What do these "friends" and a couple of the families thinks this helps with??? Towards the justice end of things??

I know darned well from our experience they have likely been advised it best to see justice to stay silent. No one is forced to but it is advised strongly.

I like to know as much info I can and have wondered a lot about what the roommates did all those hours and who came over, etc. Not like I wouldn't like to know but not if it can affect things or not that badly to blast something nationwide just before trial after all this time.

I don't agree with it, likely never will. Now if these girls testify they can be asked by the D if they contributed to this show, etc. and so on. The families too that contributed. The simple question WHY just before trial even would be a good one.

It's hard on families not to have an outlet but a show or national one? No. Not before trial.

Jmo but it's a strong one. I don't care if I get some of these things and if I do, I won't watch or support. If this is Amazon Prime I believe I can see it but have no intent of doing so.

Man I hope this trial goes off on time. This judge has been pretty solid against D attempts to delay it. He has flat out told Taylor that she shouldn't have taken on another capital murder case if she didn't have time to go through discovery, that she should have hired discovery help or asked for it and many other things. I LIKE that. It is RARE imo. I have stayed abreast of this case and others although lately other cases and things have taken front seat.

Anyhow, just my opinion. I get the reason production companies do this and a lot right before trial too. I don't agree with it. Family and friends are FAR harder to understand, most would not want anything to affect justice for the victims.

Community searching for knife in University of Idaho student murders

While attorneys on both sides are finalizing their lists of witnesses in the University of Idaho murders case, one key piece of evidence is still missing — the actual murder weapon.

Community searching for knife in University of Idaho student murders​

"I’m not used to having over a million views for any particular post on places like Facebook," said Jason Jensen, a licensed private investigator with 30 years of experience.

"The thing that I find most intriguing about it is the fact that the murder weapon is missing," Jensen said.

Which is why on June 21 and 22, he’s scheduled a search to find the knife used in the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle, and he’s looking for volunteers. The plan is to search for a 35-mile area.

"I think there's a good probability that the knife would be found on the route between Moscow, Idaho and Pullman, Washington, along the routes of highway 95 and then north up highway 195," Jensen said.

He adds, given Kohberger’s reported fascination with serial killer Ted Bundy, Jensen believes if Kohberger is behind these crimes, he could have thrown the knife out of his car. "One of the things that Ted Bundy was notorious about other than the crimes themselves, but he would panic, and as he was leaving the scene of where he left bodies behind, he would throw things out of the car on the way from where the bodies were at," Jensen said.

Court documents from March of this year revealed Kohberger’s Amazon history showed he purchased a Ka-bar knife eight months prior to the Idaho student murders.

"If we find it, the thing to do is freeze what we're doing, back out of the scene, call the police, have them come down and process it as a follow-up crime scene, because there may be other evidence present, not just the knife," Jensen said.

He told FOX 13 Seattle he has done a lot of weapon searches, but this will be his first time searching for a knife. He also added that, 90% of the time, items like this are often found by accident.
 
DoorDash driver in Kohberger case expects to testify at trial she ‘saw Bryan’
A Moscow woman who said she worked for the DoorDash food delivery service expects to testify at Bryan Kohberger’s upcoming murder trial that she brought an order to one of the victims in the University of Idaho student homicides and saw the suspect.

The 44-year-old woman told police following a traffic stop last year in Pullman, Washington, that she delivered food to the home at 1122 King Road in Moscow moments before the four undergraduates were stabbed to death early in the morning on Nov. 13, 2022. She also told an officer with the Pullman Police Department that she may be called to the stand in the high-profile trial, according to video of the conversation in body-camera footage posted to YouTube.

“Now I have to testify in the big murder case, too,” the woman said, and clarified it was the incident involving the young college women in Moscow. “I’m the DoorDash driver. I saw Bryan …”

“I parked right next to him,” she added.

The Idaho Statesman is not naming the woman, who hasn’t widely identified herself as the driver.

Kohberger, 30, is charged with killing the four U of I students at the off-campus home. The victims were seniors Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, both 21; junior Xana Kernodle, 20, and freshman Ethan Chapin, 20.


Kernodle received a DoorDash order at approximately 4 a.m. Nov. 13, police said in the probable cause affidavit. More recently, prosecutors said the four homicides happened within a 13-minute window, between 4:07 and 4:20 a.m., according to case filings. That’s when surveillance cameras recorded what police allege was a white Hyundai Elantra in the neighborhood of the home. Kohberger owned a 2015 white Hyundai Elantra.

Kernodle’s DoorDash order from Jack in the Box in Pullman, across the Idaho state line from Moscow, arrived at 3:59 a.m., prosecutors said in March.

“This particular evidence provides a timeline of events (for XK) before the homicides and corroborates state’s witnesses’ testimony,” they wrote, referencing Kernodle.

The Moscow woman’s account of delivering food for DoorDash matches that of recent court filings in the closely watched case that stated the driver’s initials are “MM.” In addition, a private investigator who worked on behalf of Goncalves’ parents told them that the DoorDash driver was female, Steve Goncalves, the victim’s father, told the Statesman in a text message Monday.

I've always wondered how the DoorDash person didn't see him! WOW.
