    1. Yeah the parents came out after about 4 weeks saying cops had dropped the ball and that it should have already been solved. It was honestly pissing me off. I worked in the criminal justice system for 20 years and the worst thing has been tv shows. People think crimes are solved quickly and then trials start quickly. If it’s solved within a year that’s usually lightning speed.

    2. @KCs Funhouse I don’t think anyone should judge the parents. They get a pass. Who knows what that feels like, but the media and public having such unreasonable expectations is ridiculous.

    1. @Referensi PI It’s stongly believed today that the Zodiac killer was actually Joseph James DeAngelo, also known as the Golden State killer. He was active in the same area, during the same time and had the same M.O as the Zodiac killer. He was arrested back in 2018 and is serving a life sentence for multiple murders and rapes. I believe this is also mentioned in the 2007 Zodiac film with Jake Gyllenhaal and Mark Ruffalo, though at the time of the film DeAngelo had not been arrested yet. DeAngelo confessed to his daughter about being the Zodiac and his handwritting perfectly matched that of the letters sent by the Zodiac to the newspapers.

    2. @Tragicnutsack I wasn’t going to continue this, I never inferred that it was. You got the wrong person. You are a troll, nevertheless. That’s a fact.

  1. Imagine, being highly educated in criminology, and thinking you pulled off the perfect murder, but leaving behind the knife sheath with your DNA on it.

    1. @Running Production even the cops don’t know to keep there mouths shut in murder1 charge. One thing they do know is that 93% if the time the investigators knows there stuff. That’s why most cops biggest fear is being prosecuted and sent to prison. That fear alone makes most dirty cops snitch or incriminate themselves in the interrogation room. They feel as if they can out smart the system wave their right to remain silent which is very crucialfor beating a m1. Most cops don’t even know the law they’re enforcing.
      The only place you can learn how to get away with murder is the place where real murderers who beat bodys are. This guy made a few crucial mistakes here along with DNA the cellphones the eye witness. Also returning to the crime scene more that once. He probably knew how to getaway with it but really wanted to caught. What do you think about that.

    2. @Dark Elf Drizzt Don’t know what you think about cops, cops don’t really train with law, and in most of the time, they simply just arrest people and wait for the DA to file charge.

      Cops do study rules and regulation but again, same as criminology, you study it in theory, does not mean you know how to do it in reality. On the other hand, anyone who watches Law and Order knows if you ask for a lawyer the cop have to stop, people tend to talk if they think they can beat you, whether or not that person is a cop, they know full well you will need to stop if they use the L word, but they will keep talking because it’s in the mechanism of lying, when you lie, you try to convince people you are telling the truth, which mean you talk too much, you talk about stuff that you were ask and try to sell the story. If you are telling the truth, the response is simple, straight and precise, because you know in deep conscious that you are telling the truth, you don’t need to convince people you are.

    3. @m you’re definitely wrong about that they being very transparent about a very high profile case. the dna they found is exactly where they said was. Why would the investigators lie about anything?

    1. @Mawmaw D was there even a possibility that if the roommate had called 911 immediately, that even 1 of the 4 may have lived? I still di not understand why she waited 8 hrs. Close, lock the door. Put chair or furniture in front of the door. Call 911. Then collapse

    2. @Elmosweed She saw a masked stranger in the house yet didn’t check on the well being of her housemates, nor did she call 911 (until someone did HOURS later).
      Maybe some victims could’ve been helped had she done something. Who knows.
      She has a LOT to answer for, and I don’t see what being a so-called “young lady” has to do with it.

    3. @Beaudile Every person on this planet handles situations differently.
      Every person on this planet handles terrifying situations differently.
      Unless anyone can prove this young lady was part of the killing, any suggestion is spreading accusations only.
      We have not heard all the evidence yet and any speculations are just that- speculations.
      Even if you personally have been in a situation when you thought someone would take your life.
      You would handle the situation differently than her, you or even myself.
      Her reaction was perfectly normal.
      Not helpful in this situation but normal.
      If you have to say ” maybe” or ” perhaps” you are spreading accusations about this young lady.

  2. I’ve never seen an affidavit as strong as the one Idaho Police put out. They have this guy on car, phone, DNA etc. Anybody that reads the full 19 pages is left with zero questions as to Kohburger being guilty as hell.

    1. @Felsenkeks uh… I would politely disagree with you.

      Without the murder weapon, the ME can only say for certain what kind of knife with what kind of length and feature can produce this kind of wound, which mean K-Bar and knife that similar to K-Bar would be in this category, without the actual murder weapon, one can argue reasonably you can’t be sure that come from a K-Bar, because it could be, but so did 9 different knife, including the M9 and M7 bayonet which have similar length and feature.

      If you cannot pinpoint the murder weapon to Ka-Bar, then that sheath would significantly lose its value as evidence. Because you are suggesting that connection between BK and that KaBar is actively used in crime scene, hence putting BK in the crime scene, with that connection gone, so the connection of BK to Crime Scene. Let alone the button of the sheath in itself is actually very insignificant. I mean you can reasonably touch the sheath but not the knife.

      They need to find that Ka-Bar, or one of the major pieces of evidence would lose a lot of value.

    2. @Running Production I disagree completely. You don’t need the murder weapon. There’s no connection gone to him and the crime scene. Plus they’re going to find something in his car. I almost gaurentee it. This is just an affidavit.

    3. @EL34Glo First of all, I think Bryan Did it, but commenting as a former Police Detective and just having a serious talk with my wife who is a trial attorney. I am just saying what objective for the case.

      You don’t need the murder weapon if you can put him in the crime scene or have direct contact with the victim at the last moment, so yes, IF (notice the capitalisation), if they found blood belong to the 4 in his car, you won’t need the murder weapon

      However, I don’t know, that is in the future and commenting now, the ONLY piece of evidence that put BK at the scene is that knife sheath, and that knife sheath is a transfer, which mean you need to find the knife and make the case, otherwise you can’t put him at the scene, which mean all those car sighting and mobile phone history would be pointless.

    4. @matt ayele you dont seem to have a strong grasp of the US legal system. they dont need a murder weapon.

  3. This guy thought he was smarter than the police. He was wrong. I feel so sad for the survivors and the families and friends of the victims of this psychopath.

    1. well he made a catastrophic mistake leaving the knife sheath. Im no expert but that seems like a noob move for a killer.

    2. @ryan mclean There were two female survivors. 6 people lived in the house, only 4 of them were killed.

    1. @jeff lebowski Why do we need to “respect” her belief when the heinous and murderous history of her “belief” is well documented and known? Where do YOU get this idea that religion is benign and needs to be respected by rational people not part of that particular cult? If you’re so ignorant of how christianity was spread (by the sword) and the tens of millions murdered to that end, then go read a book and stop pretending that religion is somehow off-limits. It’s not… and the laws that used to make is so are long dead in this country. Grow up.

    2. The killer was stalking a party house, where it was almost certain that the entire household would be passed out under the influence of one substance or another by 4 am.

    3. Thats not conclusive yet! A cell tower can get pings from a phone from quite a distance. He lived 8 miles away which could be very close to the actual ping!

  4. Thankfully, the days of long running serial killers is over. A stranger on stranger murder is the most difficult to solve, and catching him in 7 weeks is an epic achievement. Well done LE!

    1. And if you think I’m joking there’s a person named the beast the highest killing of children he went through 3 different countries and killed nearly 200 homeless kids and guess what they let him out and he’s never been pinpointed again in south America

    2. LOOOOOL!
      50 pct of murders still go unsolved.
      If this murderer is clueless doesn’t mean all are.
      Get educated about true crime and give me a break.

  5. 8:20. There is no evidence that he was trying to commit the ‘perfect crime’. It seems more driven by emotion/anger/revenge.

  6. He went back after remembering the knife sheath is missing. Went there in hope of trying to take care of it and other kinds of evidence that might tie him to the murder.

  7. This is beautiful interview. Very professional, full of information and not sort of fishing information unprofessionally like what Ashley Banfield always do. Kodus CNN and AC.

  8. The fact that he put his trash in the neighbors trash bin, is crazy! It’s not surprising to me that he returned a few hours later to the scene, most killers do that, if you watch any crime shows, seems like a rush of reliving what had just occurred hours before. This is all so sad to hear, poor kids 🤍

    1. @Fatima If you see a stranger inside your house and hears your roommate crying calling for help wouldn’t you investigate and get help ASAP? This is purely ignorant inappropriate behaviour. From the discription that the eyewitness roommate gave police clearly states that the witness is conscious. These two roommates should also be investigated.

    2. @Retired Engineer New details are emerging in a murder case of the so called “Retired Engineer” whose body parts were found today scattered in three state area. The victim was a registered sex offender and known transvestite 🧐

    3. I put an old bag of big black dildos into my neighbors rubbish bin and then pointed it out to all the neighbors when they weren’t looking. I get him.

    4. @Molecular Come on. Don’t judge people who are in a murderous situation trying to survive. You don’t know the situation and there are many reactions people have, beyond just fight or flight. Judging people in such an extreme situation is unreasonable and shows a lack of self-awareness and a bit of arrogance.

  9. The initial connection to the victims is something I think everyone is interested in knowing about. What led him to these particular people?

  10. I read the entire affidavit. It’s almost like Kohberger wanted to get caught. He should have just worn a tee shirt that said, “I did it. Ask me how.” on the front and saved everyone a lot of trouble.

    1. Exactly! He plotted this all like a game with a map for others to play after he was done. He is now going to put every single person, and courtroom involved to the test because that’s what he wants. Strange people!!

  11. The 911 call was made by someone who found both of the surviving roommates outside. One was passed out and the other was incoherent and hysterical. That is why the call came in for an unconscious person. When the paramedics got there and found the victims in the house that’s when the police were called. We will have to wait to find out why Dylan didn’t call the police right away. She said she heard crying, not screaming and people were often in and out all the time. So even if she was shocked by this person she didn’t know, maybe she didn’t automatically think 4 murders had happened.

    1. Bs have you ever fell asleep with 4 dead bodies in your house? No way have you even smelt a dead body? It stinks straight away after 8 hours you wouldnt be able to handle it and you would call police and say there might be survivors hurry up and get here now

    2. Idk even if her mind doesn’t go to murder, you heard crying and see a masked man in the house and didn’t call 911? Especially knowing other people are living there with you. I get the shock and no one can say what they would do in her shoes and I certainly have never been in this frightening of a situation. I guess I feel like if I’m afraid, I would want help instead of just locking myself in all night. I would at least text my roommates and be like did you hear/see something, I think someone weird was in the house.

    3. A normal person would have checked upstairs or called 911. However, we are talking about Gen Z. Nothing is normal anymore.

    4. @E idk when I was in college we all lived in a house like that and not everyone was close or friends like that we had one roommate like we would just say hi in passing for 6 years never went in they room to go talk etc I’m assuming they weren’t close and the rooms upstairs was all the close friends

    5. @lisa vanderpump I get not being close to your roommates and even going days without seeing them so I can understand her not seeing if they were okay I guess. However, it was stated that she was so frightened, she was “frozen in shock” and then locked the door. And then she …went to bed? If I saw a masked person in the place I’m living in the middle of the night, I’m calling police lol

  12. and people have to understand, the police cant come out and say “yeah we found this and that at the crime scene.” its evidence only the killer would know about, so they cant just tell everyone!!

  13. I think this investigation just shows how impatient and judgmental society is. People out there were expecting LE to find the bodies and say “Oh, IT WAS THIS GUY!!!” 7 weeks from the murders to an arrest based on DNA evidence, amazing work!

  14. Mary Ellen O’Toole is indeed legendary. Throughout this process she has had the deepest and clearest insights into these tragic events. Kudos to Anderson for describing her as “legendary”.

  15. Something puzzles me. A resident in the house, “D.M.”, saw a partially masked man she didn’t recognize and froze in fear. Then locks herself in her room — but doesn’t immediately call 911? What’s with that?
