    1. It’s a very disturbing case and you wonder what the mindset is of a person who would commit such a horrific act. I just want justice to be done.

  1. It says they only found one black glove in Bryan’s apartment where’s the other one.., could the glove they found outside at the crime scene belong to Bryan

    1. @Jennifer Bruce it’s just the way the world is everything is good is bad & everything is bad is good ..people are sick theses day ….just saying

    2. @Jennifer Bruce: We’re at least a year, maybe two, away from a trial. A lot could happen between now and then.

    3. @Samer Nabeelbecause a change of venue will be asked for by his defense and a place like Boise has a larger population to get a jury

    4. @Shea Reesemost likely his attorney is going to ask for a change of venue do to the case and there is no way he would ever get a fair trial ever in Moscow

  2. 🤦‍♀️That would be a “nitrile” glove, not nitrate. The reporter did it twice, not just once. Was there a typo in the text she read?

    1. @Endy Times that may make the jury’s job harder, but the found the knife sheath next to one of the dead victims and if the receipt that was found has some items on it that was used in the crime, like the black mask globes, & knife, etc….it’s ova!!

    2. @Endy Times You may have spoken some truths. The likelihood that they got to him through the car connection is laughable. Further, why would he take the sheath off of his belt and leave it? Their public story, chain of deductions, et cetera, does not add up.

      Somebody dimed him out or at least put his name into the hat. Who and why could unravel their whole case.

    3. @Endy Times How would buying drugs from them, explain his DNA being on a knife sheath found at the scene?

    4. @Josh McDermott it was touch DNA that could have gotten on the sheath quite a while ago. Someone else could have had it and it just brushed against his hand. Maybe someone he met at a party there. I don’t believe this was some random event, probably someone who knew at least one of the victims. If someone in the house was selling drugs it could be retribution for a drug deal turned bad. Mexican cartels are kind of known for brutal murders.

    5. @Josh McDermott the murder weapon hasn’t been found yet. That knife sheath doesn’t necessarily belong to Bryan. The State would have to prove it does. The DNA found on it is most probably trace DNA eg. skin cells, and that can transfer from Bryan to the victim through a hand shake and then to the sheath from her touching it. The trace DNA can remain on an object for an extended period of time and could have been there way before the murders. So far, the State’s evidence is mainly circumstantial evidence, which means there’s no direct evidence linking him to the crime. One of the things one learns in criminology, is the different types of DNA evidence and the handling of such evidence.

  3. They found out that he followed all 3 girls on IG and repeatedly messaged one of them prior to the murders, without getting a response. It all comes together…

    1. Definitely seemed the most likely story that he was rejected by one or all at some point. But it makes the crime even more disturbing. Misogyny is running rampant these days, and this is how far it can go. We can’t pretend we don’t have a societal issue. Sick.

    2. @A Florida Son ya but to a extent he had to followed one of the girls or was interested in one of the girls cause hell the man stalked the Home for 5 months

    3. It was reported that it was possibly his account that was allegedly following the girls on IG. Not definitively. Waiting on that being found to be accuraye and true. I read that this was not factual and that it was just someone editing or falsifying information. We’ll see.

    4. @Josh McDermott maybe. If these reports turn out to be true. This was just a report from an investigator, allegedly, that thinks it was POSSIBLY his account following the 3 women.. we’ll see if it turns out to be true.

  4. I don’t know how anyone can do something crazy to get them put in prison. I’ve been in a hospital room for 24 hours and I’m already trying to plan an escape.

    1. @scorpiooooh but with that said you’re still right because at the end of the day people know the difference between right and wrong despite their circumstances. The only crimes that’s are truly understandable are crimes committed with good intention. For example a father with no money stealing food from the grocery store to feed his children is something I would look past and understand why he risked his freedom but if it is something where the person is truly in pain mentally/emotionally and wants to take it out on the world then I feel they are a cowards.. If they hate their life so much then end it but don’t kill innocent people that love their life in attempt to make people feel the same pain you feel on a daily basis.

    2. true, and thanks for the laugh. it is insane, how he thought he would have gotten away with it. Good luck with whatever you are in the hospital for.

    3. Their mind and spirit don’t work like most of us. I don’t get it either. He did something so so awful that there is no coming back for him or the victims. This is the worst of the worst.
      He s mentally ill and he is also very damaged in his personality disorders. And he cultivated that evil.

  5. I watched an interview with a DNA specialist- a root on a piece of hair is no longer required. The DNA testing has progressed within the last few years

  6. Hard to believe that he was sloppy and didn’t wash his linens. I think the search for his apartment was done over a month after the killings. Can you imagine sleeping on unwashed bed sheets for a month? Eww. Those must be washed at least once a week.

    1. He was talking about being tormented by “visual snow” in his diary/online posts lol the guys not right in the head😲

  7. Dk why everyone believes the death penalty is the harshest punishment to get handed down but being locked up in solitary confinement for 23 hours every day for rest of his pathetic life is in imo the best punishment for a crime of this magnitude!

    1. @Linette Bourgeois But you’re willing to pay for his execution and become complicit in yet another murder…OK.

    2. @Linette Bourgeois Oh shutup! If you care about tax payer money being spent on prisoners. Stop putting people in jail for smoking weed.

      Do you know how many Americans were put to death in 2022? 18. Do you really think having those 18 people put in jail for life instead of killed, would really make a single bit of difference to your tax bill?

      Are you really willing to risk innocent people being killed just because you don’t want to pay 1 cent a decade extra in taxes?

    3. If it were me I rather get the death penalty than spend the rest of my life in prison which is like slow torture

  8. They also found a black glove outside the murder house back when this all happened. Maybe the black glove they found at his apartment is a match to that one.

  9. The reason for waiting also says that the Defense wanted to go through the evidence themselves that had been initially collected and also to have time for a proper jury to be selected or have the venue moved.

  10. BUT WE already know he didn’t go straight home after the murders … he took an hour long drive along the countryside when in fact, it takes merely 15MIN between his apartament & victims’ house! He must’ve thrown away clothes, knife, gloves along his scenic route before heading home & arriving around 5h30.

  11. 28 years old and you’re never gonna be free another day in the rest of your life. If he lives to 100 years old he’ll do 72 of those years in prison.

    1. If you read some of his writing from the past, it’s obvious he was a very disconnected and tortured individual. Seems to me this normally unfathomable violence was his attempt to feel something. I wonder if in some ways he wanted to be caught and to go through something like this.

  12. Unfortunate for the families who lost their children, young in years, on earth. The hope, they are happy in Heaven. May GOD’s love strengthen the community, anyone impacted by the crime, unjustly, unfairly.

  13. If they indeed found a glove at the crime scene and at his Apartment, please don’t ask him to try them on at trial to not have an OJ moment of them not fitting.

  14. Idaho court room and Judge has no respect for the Victims or their families how they just let him walk into court room with out handcuffs .
    May the victims RestInPeace 🙏🏽 PrayersLiftedUp to their Families.
