Did you learn anything new from the recent 48 Hours episode?

If you got chance to catch this past Saturday night’s 48 Hours episode on CBS, would you say you learned anything new by it?

As one who has been wrapped up in this case, I would say I did not learn much.

My observations of the recent episode would be:

• Steve Goncalves (father of victim Kaylee Goncalves) seems open to the idea the killer or killers could be those other than currently held Bryan Kohberger. Meantime, Kristi Goncalves (mother of Kaylee) seems quite certain that Kohberger is responsible for her daughter’s death and the deaths of Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
• It was nice to see and hear from the father and sister of Kernodle. The Goncalves Family has mostly been in the forefront of this case, notably doing interviews. It is important to hear from the other three families should they choose to speak. We did hear early on in the case from the Chapin Family but not so much lately. Mogen’s parents have been rather silent to date on the case. Of the four victims, Mogen was the only one without siblings. I respect each family in deciding how they best want to handle media requests and so on.
• Dismissing drugs as a motive for the tragedy I feel is premature. Just because officials said early on there was no drug connection does not make it true. I think it is important to keep all possibilities on the table until the trial ends. I still would like to know what it meant when Maddie told Kaylee that night while walking in downtown Moscow hours before their deaths that she had told Adam everything. What was it that Maddie supposedly told Adam? I seriously doubt it had to do with boyfriends etc.
• Howard Blum (one of those interviewed for 48 Hours and writing a book on the case) was spot on when noting this was far from a slam dunk case. If the best the prosecution has is some touch DNA on a knife sheath, I’d say there is a good chance at least one juror could send this case to a not guilty verdict. The cell phone evidence and the defendant’s vehicle reportedly being spotted (though never positively identified) in the neighborhood can be explained away by a good defense attorney such as Anne Taylor.
• One thing I did not hear in this recent episode and would love to know is have any of the families (notably the Goncalves Family) talked with survivors Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke? I still think this case could be swung one way or the other on their testimony at trial. I’d be shocked if the defense does not call both to testify. Given Mortensen’s story is shaky at best, it will be interesting if we find out if the four families have had any conversations with DM before the gag order went into effect.

If you watched 48 Hours from this past Saturday evening, any new takeaways for you?
