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.

 

[Guess Who]

He could have shown more sympathy to the family's. I doubt that would have satisfied SG.

He owes people that are physically threatening him and his family and staff no sympathy.

 

[Guess Who]

She said that BK had a 5th Amendment right to silence at the plea hearing so he didn't have to say anything. She didn't mention that he had the same rights if this went to trial.

She and others have been saying that we will not know "everything" because there will be no trial without explaining what we will never know about.

We were never going to find out "everything". They claim they wanted a trial to find out where he hid the knife, for one, but I bet that would not have come out because if they knew that, they would have it in their possession. Same with all of the other things they claim would come out at trial.

Nancy was really upset about not having a trial because we will never know some things. She never explained what those things are so I'm curious what they could be.

Most things that have been filed should be released after sentencing. However, there are probably things that have not been that would be entered at trial. However, I'm not sure they wouldn't accessible too.

In Daybell we saw tons of interviews in Daybell long before any trials.

Imo he basically ignored the families.

I'm just asking, that's all. I'm unsure of procedure here, but I thought this was a plea hearing. Isn't the sentencing more for the families? What do people think he should have done that he didn't?

Good point. The sentencing hearing is were the family's have the chance to speak with victim impact statements. Maybe the Judge is going to make a sympathetic statement to the family's then.

A defendant does have a right to say nothing and not even give evidence at trial but i didnt think that extended to a plea hearing. He must at least say he is pleading guilty to the offences or sign something to that effect right?

I think people are being unreasonable wanting all the gory details. They were stabbed to death so I don't know what more people would need to know.

And he did.

 

[Tresir]

And he did.

Yeah, i believe they reported he did. The rest will happen at sentencing presumably.

 

[Ranch]

Yeah, i believe they reported he did. The rest will happen at sentencing presumably.

In court he plead guilty to each individual count of murder and the burglary charge. The prosecutor presented some of the evidence that shows he was indeed guilty. The Judge accepted the guilty plea.

BK can speak at the sentencing hearing but who knows if he will or not. We don't even know if all of the family's will give a victim statement.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

I just watched Nancy Grace go on a rant on Fox News She said there are things we would have learned if this case went to trial and now we will never know those things.

What would we have learned at trial that is now gone forever?

Couldn't an FOIA request be filed?

 

[GrandmaBear]

I guess. It struck me as a bit more than that but maybe I am wrong. He certainly did not have to explain anything, but I think that's on the P to ask the judge to do that.

Family wants motive, etc.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Couldn't an FOIA request be filed?

I would think so after sentencing.

 

[Guess Who]

Family wants motive, etc.

Motive... Because he wanted to.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

Motive... Because he wanted to.

Jealousy.

 

[Guess Who]

The questions the family is insisting that they want answered as being why they are mad about it not going to Trish, would most likely never have been answered at trial. It would have just made them even more angry and I didn't see how SG could have not been thrown in jail himself if he had to maintain his composure throughout.

 

[Guess Who]

Jealousy.

Of what?

 

[Guess Who]

Jealousy.

I think he did it just because he thought he was smart enough to commit the "perfect" crime.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Motive... Because he wanted to.

I think he had it in for one of them or was jealous of the whole bunch. Hard to say though.

 

[RoundPeg]

I think he did it just because he thought he was smart enough to commit the "perfect" crime.

The longer this goes, the more I agree. The P said he practically dismantled the inside of his car to detail it. It's almost like he was defending his thesis.
