Murder In Moscow: Bryan Kohberger And The BTK Killer

0:00What's up everyone and welcome back to the program. It should come as no surprise to anybody out there paying attention that this sick degenerate BTK would share sympathy for Brian Coburger and the situation that Coburger finds himself in. What do they say birds of a feather and all? Fellow travelers? BTK obviously sees a little bit of himself and Brian Coburger, so he has reached out and shared his sympathies about the situation that Coburger finds himself in. And today we have an article from the Independent Discussing This, so let's just dive right in and let's see what Andrea Blanco and Bevin Hurley have come up with. BTK Killer Dennis Raider shares sympathy for Idaho murder suspect Brian Coburger. What's next, the nod of support from Gary Ridgeway? Also Killer Dennis Raider has expressed sympathy for Brian Coburger as he awaits his trial

1:00in the Idaho murders. Raider, who gave himself the title of the BTK Killer because he bound and tortured his victims before killing them, is serving ten consecutive life sentences and a maximum security prison in Kansas after he confessed in 2005 to killing ten people over a span of three decades. The first murders that he committed, known murders anyway, was the Otero family. And there certainly were some similarities between Brian Coburger allegedly killing the four college students in their home and Dennis Raider's first trip around the sun killing the Otero family for people home at the time, a male home at the time, a dog there. So there were a lot of similarities. Now do I think that they're related in any way? I do not. Like I don't think that Coburger was ever in contact with BTK. I don't think he was talking to him before the murders. I don't think he was talking to him after the murders, but I do know that he is keenly

2:02aware of who BTK is and what BTK was up to. Not only was Brian Coburger studying to get his criminology degree, the guy was an avid fan of true crime. And you can't be an avid fan of true crime and this sort of true crime anyway without knowing who the BTK is. So he certainly knew who BTK was and then you add to all of that the fact he studied under Catherine Ramzland, the same lady that wrote a book with BTK. So there's no doubt in my mind that Coburger had a very good grasp on all of BTK's murders and the way he went about it. In an interview with Fox News digital on Wednesday, Raider said he understands how Mr. Coburger must feel while on solitary confinement at Leita County jail ahead of his preliminary hearing on June 26th. Since I spent from February 2005 to April 2005 in a cell by myself, I know how he feels

3:03very lonely. Raider told the outlet adding that his situation improved when he was allowed to receive mail. Well if you're lonely, maybe we could put one of the family members of the people you killed in that cell with you for a good 25 or 30 minutes and see how lonely you are then. I got your lonely right here. You stew nod. And soon let her started to come in. I read a lot of Bible and wrote poetry. You know, all these guys the same thing. Oh, I found God. Oh, I found God. Oh, well, I repented and I found God. That's all great. But that's not going to bring back the people that you violently murdered. That's not going to give their families any comfort or any closure. So the whole I found God thing always makes me laugh. Raider's name was first linked to the Idaho case last month after it emerged that Mr. Coburger had been a student in a criminology class taught by Dr. Catherine Ramzland, the leading academic authority on the BTK killings.

4:03And she wrote that book with BTK. We did that whole article on BTK and his work with Dr. Catherine Ramzland. And it's quite the coincidence. No, that she is such a authority on BTK. And then she has a student like Brian Coburger. Quite the coincidence. Mr. Coburger had just finished his first semester as a criminology PhD student at Washington State University when he was charged with the stabbing of Kayley Gonsaubis, Madison Mogan, Zanakar Noodle and Ethan Chapin on November 13th. Last month Raider's daughter, Carrie Rossin, told the independent that she had sensed her father in the Idaho murders. Look, there is no doubt about that. When you look at what happened, it had all the hallmarks of a BTK kind of murder, maybe not the bind torture and kill part, but the fact that it was so brazen for people being murdered like this with a knife.

5:03Do you see that as the MO for somebody? And obviously as we've learned more, it certainly seems like all four weren't the target. Seems like Kayley and Madison or one or the other were the target. And then he stumbled upon Zana who just unfortunately happened to be awake at the time. If she wasn't awake and he didn't stumble into her, my guess is he would have just kept going. Meaning he would have killed Kayley and Madison and then got out of Dodge. Now obviously that's just my opinion and the way I'm breaking it all down from the facts that we have available to us. But the more I look at it and the more information we get, the more it seems like Ethan and Zana were both collateral damage. She later learned that Mr. Coburger had gained a master's degree in criminology in 2022 from Pennsylvania's Dessalus University, where he was taught by Dr. Ramzland. Dr. Ramzland, a world renowned expert on serial and mass killers, wrote the 2016 book Confession

6:06of the Serial Killer, the untold story of Dennis Raider, the BTK killer in 2016, drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews and phone conversations with the serial killer to delve deep into his psyche. Miss Rossin said she refused to participate in the book, which documented in explicit detail, Raider's 10 murders in Wichita and Park City, Kansas between 1974 and 1991 through crime scene reports, jailhouse visits, telephone calls and written correspondence. I don't know how you could sit in a room with this guy, just looking at Dennis Raider and his dumb ass face and knowing what he did to all of those people. I don't know if I'd be able to control myself from engaging in the power slap competition. Because if anyone's ever needed their face slapped, it's BTK. I ended up actually back in trauma therapy while reading that book. I was still mad at my father. I threw the thing across the room, Miss Rossin, who hasn't even, who wasn't even alive when

7:09her father committed his first seven murders between 1974 and 1977, told the independent in January. Imagine if your father was a serial killer. You have this image of your dad being, you know, your dad, a hero, an untoppable hero. Then Raider had been a respected president of his local church and a Cub Scout leader who secretly carried out a series of sadistic murders while bragging about his crimes to the media. He came up with a bind torture kill moniker in letters to Kansas media. You can't name yourself, bro, there's rules against that. Just like wearing the band T-shirt of the band you're going to see to the show. There are certain rules that have to be followed. You can't make up your own nickname. Miss Rossin's setter father earned a degree in criminal justice at the same time he was committing murders in the 1970s. According to the Wichita Eagle, he has also a peace and compliance supervisor in Park

8:11City. So BTK was hiding in plain sight. He was your average neighbor guy working for the Cub Scouts working for his criminology degree, you know, the kind of guy you wake up, see him out in the front yard, you waive to him on your way to work. Meanwhile, this dude's dressing up in women's clothing, making pretend he's the victims that he's already killed, putting out their IDs and having a whole recreation of his murder. And this is the guy that you're living next door to. Mr. Colberger did not have a trial, instead confessing to his crimes after his arrest. Mr. Colberger, on the other hand, has said through his former public defendant that he is eager to be exonerated. The affidavit for his arrest gave new details about what led investigators to the suspect, but still offered no connection between the victims and Mr. Colberger. Well we know that those connections are being made as we speak. And all of the digital connections that they had in this day and age, those are connections.

9:14When you're looking at somebody's social media, the way that you can monitor somebody these days, you might as well be looking in the window of their bedroom. The documents did reveal that investigators believe that Mr. Colberger may have stalked the student home and the run up to the mass murder, which cell phone data placing him around the property 12 times before the 13th of November. He said that his DNA was found on a knife sheath left behind at the scene by the killer and his white Hyundai Alantra was caught on surveillance footage at the crime scene at the time of the murders. The affidavit reveals. Police in Washington also unsealed search warrants for Mr. Colberger's apartment in Pullman and his office at Washington State University. The searches were carried out on the same day that he was taken into police custody in Pennsylvania. The unsealed documents reveal that investigators seized the string of items from his home, including possible human and animal strands, a disposable glove, items with red and brown

10:16stains, and a computer. No items were seized from his office, which he shared with other PhD students. He faces life in prison or the death penalty for the murders that have rocked the small college town of Moscow and hit headlines around the globe. Alright folks, that's going to do it for this one.
