Mega Edition: Bryan Kohberger And The Dive Into His Life Online (9/4/26)
About this episode
Beyond The Horizon is made possible by:
That digital investigation became an important companion to the physical and forensic case because it gave authorities another way to test motive, planning, familiarity and movement. Prosecutors later relied heavily on cellphone records and other electronic evidence to help place Kohberger’s phone outside the Moscow area during parts of the night while also emphasizing that it stopped reporting to the cellular network during the critical murder window. Investigators also searched for evidence of online contact with the victims, surveillance of their social-media activity, searches related to the King Road house or the murders, and any attempt to delete or conceal digital information afterward. Not every online lead produced something incriminating, but the scale of the search showed that investigators were trying to build a complete digital portrait of Kohberger rather than relying on DNA or vehicle evidence alone.

Whenever you have a case that draws as much interest as the murders in Moscow has drawn, you're going to get a bunch of people speculating on what happened. That's how this works. However, the speculation in this case has been in overdrive since day one. People getting all kinds of crazy, talking about people by their government name, accusing people of all kinds of heinous wild shit with literally nothing to back it up. You have people using spirit boxes and tarot cards. Never mind all of the psychics running around telling you that they know who killed these girls and then saying that it's somebody like a professor. So there certainly has been a bunch of yahu's
who have come out of the woodwork here. And anytime you have a big tent at the circus, that means there's going to be more clowns. And there is no doubt that the clown car has certainly shown up to this investigation. Today we have an article from the independent and the headline. Online sleuths hijacked the Idaho murder's case. Should we blame them? This article was authored by a Rachel Sharp. They were killed in a drug deal gone wrong. It was revenge for bullying another student found dead months earlier. A disgruntled student blamed them for him being kicked out of a fraternity. A gang of frat boys decided to carry on a fight that broke out at a party earlier that night. The list goes on and on. These make up only a handful of the countless rumors and conspiracy theories circulating online in the weeks after four University of Idaho students were found butchered in the small college town of Moscow. And the whole drug deal gone wrong stuff. I mean,
there were people out here talking about it was a cartel hit. It was this that the other thing. And it made my eyes roll back into my head. This is not how the cartel operates. The cartel isn't going into Moscow and they're not sending an assassin to Moscow with a knife to murder four college students. I found that theory to be straight bananas that anyone would even believe that for one second was just insane to me. A disgruntled student blamed them for him being kicked out of a fraternity. That didn't sound right either. In fact, I thought it would have to be somebody who was close to them, meaning an ex lover, something like that. But when all of that was proved to be not true, obviously it had to be somebody outside of their orbit. And unfortunately, that's what it turned out to be somebody who knew them, but it doesn't look like they knew him. But the emerging details appear even worse than the imaginations of online sleuths, a highly intelligent,
seemingly high functioning suspect with an interest in the criminal mind allegedly enter the home in the dead of night dressed in all black in a mask and stabbed the four victims multiple times each. The suspect Brian co burger had no known connections to Kayley Gonsavis, Madison Mogen, Zanakernodal, and Ethan Chapin prior to that fateful night. And no motive has been revealed. The victims might not have even known he existed. And that's where I'm at. That's what I believe. I don't think that any of these kids had any idea that creepy co burger even existed. This dude's out here watching them. And I can't kick the thought of Francis dollar hide watching the houses in the book, the red dragon. Dude was out there lurking, setting up a pattern of what the people were doing when they came when they left. And then at the perfect time, he'd go into the house and murder everybody. Now obviously little different here, but it's the same kind of scenario when you think about this dude sitting on the house,
casing it, watching it, and stalking these kids. And yet the affidavit suggests he stalked their home in the lead up to the attack after spending years studying criminal justice and how criminals feel while committing their crimes. Then that night he allegedly executed his own crime in a matter of minutes. Perhaps most chilling, one of two surviving roommates who were unharmed in the attack came face to face with the masked man thought to be the killer as he left the home. It's something straight out of a horror movie. 100%. Imagine being this poor kid, Dylan. And all the attacks and all the vitriol that's getting thrown her away. I mean, it's quite the leap for people out there to start saying, oh yeah, she was involved. She helped them out. I mean, that's just crazy. Don't you think the investigators would know that? Don't you think they would have built that into their case? So it's ridiculous to me to see people going after the victim here and
acting like she had something to do with this. You want to be mad at somebody, be mad at the suspect. Except this is no movie. It's real life for the families and friends of the murdered victims for the two roommates who had seemingly a close call with the violent killer and for the students and locals of Moscow now left to try and rebuild their lives. While America has long been fascinated with true crime, the shocking brutality and seeming randomness of the Moscow murders sent the internet sleuth community into overdrive conspiracy theories and rumors have dominated the investigation with thousands of people joining social media groups to discuss their take on what transpired and why. Now, you see, I don't really have an issue with that. People are going to talk about what they want to talk about in these forums. And if they want to discuss what their theories are, hey, that's great. But when you start talking about people by their government name and start saying
their murderers or they're involved in killings, that's where it becomes way, way too much. And that's where people should face penalties. If you're out here defaming somebody and you're calling them a murderer, you should probably face some penalties for that. No. One particular group on Reddit has now amassed 123,000 members, ranking it in the top 1% of all groups on the platform in terms of size. Meanwhile, a Facebook group with users raising theories about the case has top 220,000 members. But are the online sleuths a help or a hindrance? There's no doubt that the intentions are well meaning and that many of the individuals spending countless hours investigating the case from the comfort of their computers had a genuine desire to catch the killer. And I agree with that. I would say that the vast majority of people following this case, well, they just want some resolution and they want the person responsible to be held
responsible. Then there's some people out there that get way too caught up and stuff like this. It takes over their lives. It dominates their lives. And they start, you know, falling into that rabbit hole. And what the big danger is, at least in my opinion, with anything like this, is chasing your own confirmation bias. And when you start doing that, you're in real jeopardy of losing the plot. Many who took to Reddit or Facebook to share tips about the case, told how they had already called in the information to the dedicated police tip line. But there's also no doubt that throughout the seven week investigation before Mr. Coburgers arrest, Moscow police were forced to spend a considerable amount of time swatting away rumors. No, they weren't. They were not forced to do that. They did it on their own. They could have just said, this is an ongoing investigation. We have no comment. But when you start getting into the nitty gritty of it, you set yourself up for people to dissect every single word you say.
So that doesn't really help the investigation, right? And I think it was a good idea for them to move away from those press conferences and just start doing the press releases. There's a lot less room for misinterpretation when you have a press release that's, you know, on paper, rather than somebody up there giving a speech where reporters can trip them up or get them to say something that otherwise he might not have said. And the rumors weren't victim lists. Several innocent people, many of whom were grieving for their friends were attacked by baseless accusations that they were responsible for the brutal crimes. Who do you guy who was spotted with Gonsalvus and Mogen at a food truck hours before their deaths and Gonsalvus former boyfriend, both came in the firing line while some of the victim's families were targeted with death threats. The boyfriend of one of the surviving roommates responded to the social media critics had on slamming a sickening rumor that
the couple and even his own father were involved in the murders. I mean, can you imagine sitting around and coming up with this shit? If you want to come up with fan fiction, write a book. You don't need to inject yourself into a situation like this with real lives and real people suffering and try to make it about you and come up with all kinds of weird ass fan fiction. That is not even close to reality. Moscow police ended up compiling a list of individuals who had been shrouded in suspicion and who they had ruled out as potential suspects. A list that the department was forced to keep adding to day by day. And that's a good thing. Keep adding to it. No need to give the interviews. No need for the press conferences. Just keep releasing these press releases. And yet one person who was never on the radar of the army of internet detectives was Brian Coburger as well as impacting the police investigation. The online sleuths to some extent also
impacted the media coverage, which was undeniably shaped by some of the more plausible tips that arose first on the likes of Reddit. And that's pretty sad, honestly. All of the journalists out there who are covering stuff like this, you have to go and develop your own sources. Don't be lazy, don't go on forums, and don't spread rumors that are unverified. Every runner knows the feeling when you finally hit your stride. You stop thinking about every step and start focusing on the journey ahead. Running a small business should feel a little more like that. But when you're juggling payroll, benefits, hiring, and HR compliance, on top of everything else, it's hard to find your rhythm.

It's worth noting that there have been cases in the past where internet sleuths did get answers. When Gabby Petito's remains were found after she vanished on a cross-country trip, her mother praised the online community for their involvement. They are incredible. The sleuths,
the internet sleuths, they do a great job. They really do, she said. And I think that was a little bit different of a case. It's like impairing apples and oranges almost. Now of course, the interest that was on par with what's going on here almost, but all of the other things surrounding this case are a whole lot different. People pretty much knew right away that Bichaz, ball-headed, barefooted, melon munchen, Brian laundry was the one who hurt Gabby Petito. You don't have to be sure lock homes to put it together that if you go on a trip with your girlfriend and you come home alone, that yes, something probably went down and you're probably responsible. And the sleuths in that case, they help find or remains using footage right from the dash cam and different people who are at the park. So certainly there are points in time where internet sleuthing and people doing investigations on their own. Certainly I've been successful in helping bring
people to justice. Look at the golden state killer. At the very least, there's no doubt that internet sleuths can amplify a case reaching someone who may just hold that key piece of information investigators need. Mr. Colbergor is in custody having denied the allegations against him as he awaits trial. Meanwhile, the online rumor mill around the Idaho murders hasn't stopped. Since then, sleuths have honed in on an account that regularly posted in social media group discussions about the case before his arrest. With many believing Mr. Colbergor to be the person behind the account, others claimed to have spotted Mr. Colbergor in footage attending the victim's vigil. The man in the footage has since been revealed to be a different man. And despite police saying Mr. Colbergor acted alone, the surviving roommate who state she saw a man believed to be the killer, a 19 year old who has gone through a traumatic experience is now facing relentless
accusations of being involved. With interest in the case showing no signs of dying down, it's clear the online sleuths will continue to build their own investigations for better or for worse. Now, I don't even think you can call people who are going after the surviving roommate an online sleuth, right? How about an online bully? Here's an idea. Leave them alone. Pretty simple, right? If you want to have anger, you want to have rage, you want to have all kinds of vitriol, aim that at the suspect, aim that at the fact that this punk ass motherfucker crept into their house and killed them while they were sleeping. Don't blame the 19 year old girl who went through a traumatic experience and we don't even have the context of what went down. That is straight up ludicrous to me. But you're going to have people do what they're going to do and there's no stopping the internet. We all know that once the internet gets rolling, it's like an avalanche.
So my advice is ignore the nonsense, stick to the meat in the potatoes and you're going to be fine. You're going to be on the right path. No psychics, no tarot card readers, no spirit boxes. You can miss me with all of that weird ass snake oil salesman BS. All right, folks, that's going to do it for this one.

Recently we've talked about the different forums that have sprung up in different areas in support of Brian Coburger. And one of those groups was called Brian Nation over on Reddit.
Well, that subreddit has now been closed down by the moderators of Reddit. And while I understand why they'd want to shut a forum like that down, I can say that I agree with the decision. I've never been a fan of censorship and I'll tell you I'm not a fan of it here either. If people want to support Brian Coburger and they want to create a subreddit to support him, then they should be able to do that. As long as there is not any sort of violence or anything like that being talked about, I don't see the problem. Now, do I agree with sitting here and talking about Brian Coburger being a great guy or anything like that? Of course not. I think it's ridiculous. And as I've said many times, I believe that when all is said and done, Brian Coburger is going to be convicted for these brutal murders. But that doesn't mean that people shouldn't have a forum to talk about the dude if they think he's innocent. So I can't say that I'm a fan of Reddit getting rid of this subreddit or censorship in general. And even during that whole
entire COVID situation where people were getting censored and deplatformed, I came out pretty strongly talking about how I don't agree with that either. People should have a right to say what they want to say. As long as they're not, you know, inciting violence or anything like that, people should be able to dissent. People should be able to have an opinion that goes against the mainstream narrative without worry of being the platform. And the crazy part is all of the people that are standing up and cheering for censorship. There's never any kind of self reflection, right? When it comes out that the narrative that they've been fed has been garbage, they never sit back have self-reflection and say to themselves, holy shit, maybe I was gasoline here, maybe I was dog walked. Instead, they just double down on the nonsense and retreat back to the bunker. But when we're talking about censorship, I think it's a bad idea in just about every single case. And talking about Brian Coburger,
I think it's a bad idea here as well. So let's dive into this article from Newsweek and let's see what's going on with the pro Brian Coburger social media group headline pro Brian Coburger social media group banned over groupies. Now again, I can't say that I agree with it. Do I think it's a good idea to write Brian Coburger letters or profess your love for him on social media? No, I think it's pretty stupid and you make yourself look like a Nimrod, but that's your prerogative. If that's what you want to do and that's how you want to present yourself, don't let me stop you. The author of this article is Kalita Rockman. A reddit channel for supporters of Brian Coburger, the man charged in the murders of four University of Idaho students has been banned. Coburger 28 is accused of breaking into a rental home in Moscow in the early hours of November 13th and
fatally stabbing Kayleigh Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Zana Karnotal and Karnotal's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin. He is charged with four counts of first degree murder and one count of felony burglary. He is yet to enter a plea, but a lawyer who previously represented him in Pennsylvania, where he was arrested at his parents' home on December 30th said he was eager to be exonerated. And I love how they always say he expects to be exonerated. Well, what else is he going to say or expect? Nah, I think I'm going to get the death sentence. So let's just forego all this stuff and I'll just tell you that I'm guilty. Zero chance that's going to happen. So of course he's going to say I'm going to be exonerated or at least through his lawyers say I didn't do this. Since then, fans of Coburger, formerly a graduate student in criminology at Washington State University in Pullman, have come to his defense on various social media platforms. Well, at least one woman has been sending him love letters. And of course, every time there's somebody who is accused
of murder like this, there's always a fan club that sprouts up in the wake of it. We've seen it with some of the most notorious killers in history and I have no doubt we'll continue to see it in the future with other killers because is there any doubt that we live in a society filled with absolutely batshit insane people? Recently a subreddit called Brianation was banned for repeatedly violating Reddit's moderator code of conduct according to a message on the site. It gave no further details of how the code which says moderators must uphold Reddit's content policy and follow the rules was violated. Reddit has been contacted for comment which is crazy and look I don't want to sound like I'm you know defending Brian Coburger because that's certainly not the case. But if you're going to be Reddit and you're going to have something like Narco footage as a subreddit where they're showing videos of torture and all kinds of other shit, how is it that a fan site for all numb nuts over here is violating policy?
On Facebook several groups have popped up calling for justice for Coburger. Look I couldn't agree more. Let's have justice for Brian Coburger and that means in the form of of volcano and his ass being Spartan kicked right into it if he's found guilty. One such group called justice for Brian Coburger remains active and has more than 3500 members. It's about whether or not you can prove your innocence. If you can't prove your innocent then you're considered guilty. It's been flipped. Now it's guilty until proven innocent. The group's description reads quoting Ronald Jones, a man who has been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for the rape and murder of a woman. Imagine being Mr. Jones family and having these idiots use this quote in regard to Brian Coburger. Considering Mr. Jones was innocent and certainly doesn't look like Brian Coburger is going to be I'd be pretty steamed if I was Mr. Jones or his family. Every runner knows the feeling when you finally hit your stride. You stop thinking about every step and start focusing on the journey ahead.
Running a small business should feel a little more like that but when you're juggling payroll benefits hiring and HR compliance on top of everything else it's hard to find your rhythm. That's where just works comes in. Just works handles the back office admins small business owners can afford to get wrong.

Well they are spelled differently but no. While both are ways to access your home's equity they're very different. You see a HELOC comes with monthly payments. Boo! While a splitter O-A-G-I doesn't it's essentially a smarter way to access your home's value.
You get cash upfront and then you can repurchase your option when you cash settle, refinance or so. Hurray! Are you going to cheer through this whole explanation? Yes! Excellent. Okay. A HELOC has strict income and credit requirements. Boo! Hiss! While an HEI from splitter O is open to people with homes that are worth $200,000 and have a 500 minimum credit score. And there's no income requirement. Haza! Did you say Haza? I'm trying to bring it back. Well good luck to you. Visit splintiro.com today and access your home's equity.

Scott Bond, a criminologist and author of Why We Love serial killers told news nations Brian Enten that there is a spectrum when it comes to people fascinated by killers and the ledge killers. I just don't understand it honestly. I am absolutely disgusted every time we read one of these articles online or I hear a story about one of these sick bastards and what they were up to. I'm literally disgusted by it. How anyone could want to write people like this and profess their love and all the other jazz is just so foreign and beyond me that I can't even come to grips with it. On one hand there is healthy curiosity but then on the other hand it can also become an obsession bond said this is not a new phenomenon. In fact
there have been cases such as Richard Ramirez the night stalker back in the 1980s he actually married one of his groupies he said and of course Charles Manson and Ted Bundy and others had legions of groupies and what Richard Ramirez I'll never understand it. You ever take a look at that dude forget it. Dude is as ski vats as they come has a third world grill the whole thing how any woman could be writing to this dude and professing their love to him is just insane. Like really you can't find a guy at the local bar the local watering hole down at the grocery store hop on Tinder or bumble or whatever it is the kids are using these days you're gonna have to write a mass murder because that's gonna work out well for you and how come it always seems like these people who are sending these letters to these serial killers always have at least one or two cats there has to be some correlation there right the more cats you own the more likely you are to send a letter to
somebody like Richard Ramirez. Bond said he believes summer seeking their own 15 minutes of fame by injecting themselves into the investigation others are lacking something in self esteem or an emotional deficit where they feel that they can fill up this hole somehow inside of them by vicariously associating with these types of individuals and that really gets to the groupy phenomenon he added we should make a reality TV show called I love a killer or something like that where it follows these crazies who are writing people and getting in relationships with these serial killers it's like love after lock up but with an extra parental advisory something along the lines of not only might you get robbed but if you fall in love with this guy you might get killed as well I wouldn't necessarily say that these really extreme groupies are necessarily mentally ill but I would say that there's something missing there something that draws them to
a five day preliminary hearing and co-burgers case is scheduled to begin on June 26th it's absolutely fascinating to me that people out here are really in contact with people like Brian co-burger like I understand as I've said before you want to get on a forum or the internet and discuss why you think the dude's innocent that's fair game right we don't know yet nobody has any inside information about what's going to happen come the trial so if people want to argue that the guy is innocent I'm all ears maybe I miss something I want to you know I want to hear all sides of the argument all sides of the story always and I think that the more information we have the more context we have the better off we all are so if somebody has a compelling argument about Brian co-burger being innocent or whatever then I'd love to hear it because as of now I haven't seen anything that would lead me to believe that anybody was responsible for this but Brian co-burger the question is can the state prove that beyond a reasonable doubt
all right folks that's going to do it for this one all of the information that goes with this episode can be found in the description box at Nevada State what's up everyone and welcome back to the program there's been a lot of talk ever since Brian co-burger was arrested that he was following along with the investigation via social media chat rooms different groups on Facebook and Reddit and that he was an active participant in some of these conversations and there are some documented exchanges between who some people think might be Brian co-burger and other members of these groups now I don't know if I'm sold that these exact people these accounts that were about to talk about in this episode were Brian co-burger but I have no doubt that this dude was following along and actively keeping an eye on what was going on he just seems like that kind of
but as far as actually being one of the people that is talked about in this article I don't know one way or the other if it was co-burger but there are a few things that don't match up with the actual timeline that would lead me to believe that perhaps it is not co-burger and just some knuckle head out there who was shooting off some fan fiction but either way today's article is from news and the headline was Brian co-burger hiding in plain sight online sleuth theory goes viral this article was authored by James Bickerton speculation is mounting that Brian co-burger the man suspected of murdering four Idaho students in the early hours of November 13th may have been behind the pair of accounts that discuss the case in detail on Facebook and Reddit now again I have no doubt that this dude was following along and we know we had a Reddit account because he posted
that survey there and 28 years old chances are he was on all of the social media accounts we've already seen screenshots of him following um Kaley and Madison on Instagram as well so the dude certainly was active on social media so would it be that big of a leap for this dude to be following along and perhaps engaging in some of these conversations I don't think it would be and we're in a new age right whereas in the old days you'd have these killers clipping out newspaper clippings of articles and stuff like that to memorialize what they have done now they could just jump on the internet have a couple of pages uh you know saved on their favorites and go back and marvel at their work whenever they want and that's how these people think they don't think like normal folks like me or you they don't have any morality they don't have any empathy for what they have done co-burger 28 was arrested on December 30th at his parents house in all brightsville
of Pennsylvania following the deaths of Kaley gun solvus Madison Mogen Zanna Kernodal Ethan Chapin who were fatally stabbed in their beds in an off-campus residence in Moscow Idaho co-burger has been charged with four counts of first degree murder and one felony burglary charge Jason Lebar co-burgers Pennsylvania public defender said his client denies the allegations and is eager to be exonerated of these charges Lebar added that co-burgers family thinks the allegations are completely out of character and don't believe it to be Brian now if you're family thinks it's you then you got some problems remember with Quentin Simon the little baby whose mom just killed him recently everybody thought it was her right away even her own family members so if your own family members think you're guilty chances are you're cooked here however Brian co-burgers family has come out and said they're going to stand behind him and they think that
the police and the investigators have the wrong guy the case attracted considerable attention from amateur detectives online intensified by the gap between the killings and police making an arrest yes something like this is always going to grab the attention of everybody basically whenever you have a crime that is as heinous and as grizzly as this with no answers people are going to demand some action and demands some answers but it's not a movie it takes time and while the messaging was piss poor from the Moscow police department for a good portion of this the actual work that they did is fantastic so I'll take bad messaging as long as it ends up with the arrest of the person they say is responsible because for me the most important part is the justice let's not forget that we have four college kids who are murdered brutally in their in their sleep and somebody has to face justice for that
two of those who commented on the case a Facebook user going by the name Papa Rogers and Reddit poster inside looking appeared to have a detailed knowledge of the case and made claims that later turned out to be true this led to speculation that one or both accounts could have been operated by the suspected killer and if it turns out that it was operated by him the authorities are going to know that they've already got warrants with him in custody and having this probable cause affidavit already out the judge will easily sign off on these warrants if they're looking for more digital evidence forget it Papa Rogers was a member of the University of Idaho murders case discussion Facebook group until the account was removed after posting some really creepy stuff according to group administrator administrator Christine Cameron now imagine what kind of creeper you have to be to get thrown out of one of those weird ass Facebook groups every runner knows the feeling when you finally hit your stride you stop thinking about every step

deserves pleasure on November 30th pop a roger is posted of the evidence released the murder weapon has been consistent as a large fixed blade knife this leads me to believe they found the sheath this evidence was released prior to autopsies well okay i can see how people would think that him knowing about the sheath is a very important thing to know if you're the killer but weren't there rumors about this sheath previous to that now i don't really do the whole rumor thing here on the podcast but i do follow along with what's going on and i've i heard about that sheath a long time just like we had heard rumors that there was a masked man that one of the roommates had seen now those hadn't been corroborated at the time but that certainly was a rumor that was out there same with this sheath so did he come up with that or did he hear this somewhere and post it on Facebook while police did say they were searching for a bladed murder weapon it wasn't revealed that officers had found the knife's sheath at the murder scene until the probable cause affidavit
was released on thursday pop a roger's post attracted the suspicion of jenifer coffin effort a former FBI agent who on friday shared it on twitter she tweeted i have followed pop a roger's comments within tree g this comment was of particular interest after the release of the pca the comments just seemed to hit home and while i think jenifer coffin that for has done a really good job following this case and keeping people informed i don't agree with her here and you're going to see why later on in response to another twitter user who asked whether the killer would have left the digital trail that incriminating coffin daffer wrote he drove his own car carry it his own phone and didn't clip his sheath tight enough so i do believe he could leave a digital trail he was a hot mess intelligent with no common sense equals a criminal bound to be caught or a criminal who planned on being caught again i'm not saying i certainly ascribed to that by any means but when
you look at all of the mistakes this guy made either he is the worst criminal since stacks from good fellows forgot to get rid of the van or this dude didn't care about getting caught because if you leave a digital trail like this and you leave all of this evidence what are people supposed to think and jenifer coffin daffer might be right here about him being you know intelligent as far as book smart but with no common sense how many people do you know like that in your own life i know so many people like that that it's not even funny and most of them have no idea that they're actually pretty stupid when it comes to common sense so a profile like that for a dude like brine co burger certainly fits with what i would think it would be at one point pop a rogers gone to an argument about the murders with another facebook user who asked why do you communicate like a serial killer and while that sounds damning there's a lot of commentary like that on these
forums whether it be reddit or facebook you know people are commenting and somebody else will say oh what are you a serial killer you're commenting like you're the killer or they'll say something like oh brine co burger is that you so whenever you hear us people say stuff like oh why do you communicate like a serial killer i take that with a grain of salt turning the decision to later remove pop a rogers from the facebook page camera and said pop a rogers was never a mod or admin in this group he was on here and argued incestantly with people and said some really creepy stuff and posted similar questions to brine's prime questions she added we removed pop a rogers at 710 the evening before brine's arrest he created a group page and had six people in it no one has heard from pop a rogers since the arrest and this will be easy for the police to figure out one way or the other right they'll just have to track this down digitally and hit up these social media sites where these were posted pull a warrant and get the information brine's crime questions appear to be references to
questions posted on reddit several months ago by a user called brine co burger prior to the Moscow murders who asked criminals for details about what they felt while committing crimes the account has since been suspended and co burger who was arrested was a phd student studying criminal justice and criminology at washington state university though authorities haven't confirmed if he was behind the reddit post he obviously was come on what do you mean if he was behind them i don't need the authorities to confirm that we sought for ourselves well that's before it got scrubbed after the Moscow murders the case was discussed in depth by a user called inside looking who posted on the Moscow murders reddit group the user correctly identified the importance of a white honday a longtra seen near the crime scene and that shoe prints at the scene likely belong to the suspect before the information was confirmed by police well that's great and that's true but this information was floating out there in a rumor mill for a while so this person because
they comment on that all of a sudden this person is brine co burger posting on reddit in one post inside looking posted speculation killer park behind the house approach of the property through the tree line entered sliding door and left it open committed murders and exited sliding door one knife according to coroner statements and here's where the problem comes for me time of murder approximately 320 a.m. and 340 a.m. we know that that's not the case now we know that the door dash order didn't even get there to 4 a.m. so while he might be close with the statements how does this jive this is one of the most crucial parts of the whole thing right what time the murders occurred and old boys out here almost an hour off a white sedan was seen fleeing the scene on camera on highway eight approximately at 345 a.m. vehicle left skid marks upon exit while there's a little bit of truth in there there's a whole lot that isn't true
we know that the car wasn't speeding away at 345 a.m. and we know that the murders weren't even committed yet so like I said when you look at this in the totality of it seems to me like somebody out here playing some fan fiction and was pretty close on a couple of the rumors but if you don't have the key details down how can anyone out here try and pitch this as Brian co burger in response to one of inside lookings post another reddit user posted due to solving his own crime and this is again what i'm talking about you'll see a lot of comments like that wise cracks people being you know smart Alex and all the rest of that nonsense that you see in public message forums inside lookings reddit profile initially showed a masked man dressed in black holding a flashlight authorities have informally made any links between the pop a rogers and inside looking social media accounts to co burger newsweek is contacted Moscow police department for comment um they're under a gag
order so you're not going to get much comment from them meanwhile the parents of kelly gon solve this set on thursday that co burger should face the death penalty if he's convicted of the killings during a news nation interview when asked about capital punishment kelly's mother christie responded we're glad that we live in Idaho one of 27 states where the death penalty stands and i i talked about this yesterday a little bit and if he is convicted and they have the evidence and it's concrete then yep the death penalty is exactly the penalty that this dude should get anyone who walks into someone's home and murders them while they're in their bed of sleep that is somebody that has no business living amongst the rest of us and certainly doesn't need to be propped up and put on some death row for the thirty five years where the taxpayers of Idaho have to keep taking care of them so what do you folks think do you think that Brian co burger was following along on these Facebook threads or do you think that Brian co burger was following along but maybe
