Today’s quadruple guilty pleas in a Boise courtroom by Bryan Kohberger have brought on so many questions in my mind. 
Yes, some of these questions have been with me for some two and a half years.
The tragic deaths of Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022 in a Moscow, Idaho rental home captured the attention of many people. That is both here at home and across the world.
That said, Kohberger will be sentenced on July 23 for the crimes he admitted to.
In the meantime, here are but a few of the questions I have:
- If Maddie was in fact the target, why did Steve Goncalves say way back in the case that he (BK) did not need to go up to the third floor? Was Xana or Ethan on second floor the target. And how would BK know or not know Ethan was spending the night?
- If Maddie was his goal, why not kidnap her at your time and choosing? Going into a home in the middle of the night and not knowing what is waiting for you is much more of a risk.
- Given police had an approximate timeline of 15 minutes or less for all four m*rders, how did BK do it without a gun? A knife takes much more effort, especially in darker conditions. There should have been blood spray all over BK. Did he clean up real fast? And if you think BK did all this with only a knife in such a short time, why do you think that? Please don’t say because Ted Bundy could kill multiple people in a short amount of time.
- If BK supposedly staked out the home, he would have known two more females lived there. Why take a chance on leaving any witnesses?
- Why drive across the border into a death penalty state when you have double the student population at Washington State University. You could also blend in easier on the Wazzu campus and neighborhoods. It never quite made sense to me other than a possible drug sale or buy to go to a home in Moscow in the middle of the night.
- Where is the knife? Where are the bloody clothes? While that part of the country is rather rural, you could still try and bury something or toss away and it ends up being discovered.
- Will we ever discover why Dylan and Bethany f*cked around for nearly 8 hours before calling for help? And why was there never a mention of blood in the call? Surely someone had to see it if the m*rders were as bad as we were told.
- Why the rush to tear down the home? Did one or more folks already know back in late 2023 there ultimately would not be a trial? If so, that is a problem
- Why not go to trial? At worst, a guilty conviction and possible death sentence. At least you have chance of a mistrial, conviction but no death sentence, endless appeals etc. I do not get taking a plea deal here and essentially being a caged animal for however many years you go on to live.
- Was Anne Taylor his best option? Obviously BK and his family did not have OJ type money to hire the best and the brightest. While I was impressed with Taylor early on, she did a disservice to her client at the end of the day while making lots of $$$.
While I have more questions, those are it for now.
What do you wonder about this tragic case?
