1122 King Road to remain standing for now

There is not a lot of good news that will come from a quadruple murder when you stop and think about it.

On Wednesday, those of us following the case of the Idaho 4 did get some good news. That is the house at 1122 King Road will remain standing at least for now.

If you’ve followed the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, you know that the home they were killed in has been in the limelight for many months now.

Once the home was given by the owner to the University of Idaho months ago, the latter indicated it would demolish the residence sooner than later. In fact, recent talk had been the home would come down prior to students heading back to the Moscow campus on Aug. 21 for the start of fall classes.

To many of us following the case, the home is the prime piece of evidence that officials have. At least the evidence we know to come out up to now through the gag order in place.

So, why would either the prosecution or the defense want the home torn down before a trial has finished up? It would seem beneficial to one or both to leave the home standing until the trial is over and we have a guilty or not guilty verdict.

I get the pain the home causes many in the community, especially the students living within eyesight of the six-bedroom residence.

Despite such emotional pain, I’ve always said leaving the home up until this tragedy is over with a court verdict was critical. Once the home is gone, it is gone forever. In my mind, you can have all the photos, state-of-the-art videos and so on of the inside and it will not replace actually being there.

Now, the question of actually being there in person should a jury make such a request is up in the air. The judge in this case would have to sign off on such a thing. Right now, there is no indication such an approval would be given. Of course we do not have a jury in place yet for a scheduled Oct. 2 trial of the defendant Bryan Kohberger.

It has been reported the inside of the residence is a bio-hazard among other things. It was also reported some of the floorboards and other key pieces of the home have been removed.

So, even if a jury was granted permission to tour it, the home would not be in the same shape it was on the morning of Nov. 13, 2022 when the murders took place.

I would still argue that should a jury be given the okay to tour the place that it would be worthwhile to them. Even if it is not the same conditions that were present the day four young adults lost their lives, just being there could sway one or more jury members in that they can better grasp what the defendant is accused of.

I visited the home (outside only) during my visit to Moscow back in late May. I can honestly say being there gave me an entirely different perspective of this case than what I had viewed on television or the Internet.

Short of any surprises in the coming weeks and months, 1122 King Road will remain for now.

Are you a conspiracy theorist if you have questions about MPD narrative?

I was raised to respect the police and do in large part to this day.

I’ve always admired and been thankful of anyone willing to put their life on the line for others.

With that as the backdrop, I also believe that some police get things wrong at times. There are also going to be the occasional few bad apples in an otherwise overall good group of hard working men and women.

So, is it okay to question the narrative that was put forth by the Moscow Police Department into the Idaho 4 killings?

What seemed like a relatively straightforward case early on remains that to a fair amount of people out there.

In their minds, accused killer Bryan Kohberger was stalking one or more of the women living at 1122 King Road. He allegedly entered the home in the overnight hours and killed Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin. So, to a sizable portion of those following this case, it is an open and shut matter.

On the flip side of the coin, you’ve got others who say not so fast.

I was in the former camp for several months after this case broke. Now, I’ve got a lot more questions than answers.

Among the prosecution issues that persist in my mind:

  • Why would Kohberger risk breaking into a home in the middle of the night when he supposedly had no idea how many people were there? – This includes the fact several guys could have been there besides Chapin. Would you enter a home in the middle of the night with multiple vehicles parked out front and armed only with a knife? The risk seems a lot greater than the reward. If you had a thing for one of the women in the home, why not take time to follow her routine and then kidnap her? Seems a much less riskier proposition than barging into a strange home and potentially taking on multiple guys not to mention five women.
  • Was it Kohberger at the wheel of the Elantra? – To date, your vehicle has not been positively identified as the car at the scene of the crime, arriving beforehand, and departing afterwards. Unless MPD is withholding it, I’ve not seen any footage that clearly shows a Pennsylvania or Washington license plate on the reported white Elantra (Kohberger lived in Pullman at the time of the killings and reportedly got plates for his new state residence at some point in November) nor a clear security camera image of BK at the wheel. While police say they have evidence of his vehicle and phone being in the area, those things could be explained away by a good defense attorney.
  • How could no one hear or see anything? – I’ve seen so much contradiction in one of the Facebook chat groups I’m in related to the case that my head spins at times. On one hand, the BK is guilty mob says the majority of neighbors (college kids) would be asleep if not passed out from being drunk at 4 a.m. ish when the terror reportedly began. As such, no witnesses to report anything other than what one of the surviving roommates (Dylan Mortensen) told cops. Keep in mind her info in the PCA does NOT clearly identify a specific individual. On the flip side of the coin, many in the BK is guilty mob also say it is quite common for college kids to be up at 4 a.m. and coming and going. Yes, I agree with that assessment. As such, wouldn’t one or more of these college kids coming and going in the neighborhood of King Road have seen or heard something?
  • Is it possible there is a cover up going on? – Let’s be quite honest, we don’t always get the truth from those in a position of power. While I want to believe the narrative we’ve been given, there is nothing wrong with questioning it. The City of Moscow, the University of Idaho, and the Moscow Police Department know rumors of a serial killer on the loose is bad for business. As such, getting the killer or killers off the streets as soon as possible is priority number one. I think that is something we can all agree on. In getting BK off the streets, did we get the right guy? He may well be guilty. If he is, I hope he gets the harshest sentence out there. On the other side of the coin, I also leave open the possibility others were allegedly involved. I’m also open to the fact BK is not the guy and in fact was possibly in the wrong place at the wrong time when things got out of control inside that home.

At the end of the day, we all want justice for the families involved. No parent should ever have to bury their child or look at their remains in an urn.

Hopefully at some point we get definitive answers and the person or persons responsible for this tragedy are held fully accountable.

What is actual evidence and what is gossip?

For anyone following the tragic deaths of the Idaho 4, sifting through actual evidence and the rumor mill has been a full-time job and then some.

While those of us watching the case closely only have a fraction of the information the police and prosecution have put out there, there’s so much more floating around the Internet.

From allegations that one of the victims was pregnant to a drug cartel hit to the suspect in custody was spotted on camera fleeing the scene and more, there is much to digest.

In trying to separate fact from fiction, here are some of the most talked about topics online of late:

  • Was one of the women pregnant and in fact there were 5 killed? – There is absolutely no credible evidence to suggest one of the three women was carrying a child at the time of this tragedy. Yet, this rumor has popped up online at times in chat rooms and on videos. While anything is possible. I’d be shocked if such a rumor ends up being true at the end of the day.
  • Was this a drug hit? – I am much more inclined to rule in the possibility of drugs being involved in this tragedy. Let’s not make any mistake here, Idaho like many other states has its share of drug issues. With that in mind, one would be naive to totally rule out the possibility drugs had a role in these attacks. That by no means implies 1122 King Road was a big drug distribution center or even one at all. It simply says do not rule out drugs having some role in this. The suspect in custody has a reported drug past. Some college kids dabble in drugs to one extent or another. There is some drug use among authorities such as those running colleges and universities and those sworn to protect us. While I bought into the stalker theory early on in the case, I’ve moved further away from it in recent months. The person under arrest does not strike me as a moron. As such, why would you take the risk of entering a strange home around 4 a.m. only armed with a knife and not knowing who all was in there if you were fixated on one or more of the females under the roof? Would have been much easier to opt for kidnapping and getting your target when they are most vulnerable. We have seen countless cases over the years where unfortunately women are taken or even killed while out for a jog, walk, going to and from their vehicle and so on. I just can’t wrap my head around this individual being so brazen to strut into a home in the middle of the night not knowing who and what is on the other side of the door because he was fixated on one or more of the tenants.
  • Suspect was definitely seen fleeing the scene – One of the ongoing discussions is that the person in custody was definitely seen leaving 1122 King Road. Let me state that police and the prosecution have NEVER released footage of a white Elantra fleeing the area that shows Bryan Kohberger at the wheel nor his license plate clear for all to see. Many assume it was him because the vehicle in question is similar to some degree to what he owned at the time. It is NOT a fact his face was spotted at the controls nor his license plate was seen. We may find out otherwise at trial once more information is allowed to freely flow. Until then, this like much of the case is speculation it was him. Given everyone is always presumed innocent until proven guilty, we can’t say with 100 percent certainty that he was driving a white Elantra leaving the scene of a quadruple murder. Same goes for the exiting back to Pullman where had an off-campus apartment. To date, no security camera footage along the 10 or so miles drive has been released that with 100 percent certainty shows him at the wheel nor his license plate in clear view.

There will no doubt be some twists and turns that come with this case once we get to the trial phase.

In the meantime, take all the information you see and hear with a grain of salt.

Only the killer/s and perhaps a small group of other people know what in fact went down at 1122 King Road in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022.

Take a deep breath social media world

Following the Idaho 4 case has been interesting to say the least.

From trying to determine what happened on that fateful morning at 1122 King Road to knowing multiple families will never be the same again and more, the case of the University of Idaho murders has captured the attention of many people. That is both in this country and outside the U.S.

With that in mind, it has been downright fascinating to see how the world of social media has reacted to this case.

As someone who uses social media for both work and personal pursuits, I’ve been nothing short of amazed of the reaction on social networking to this case.

First and foremost, I think we all feel a tremendous amount of sympathy for the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. No parent or other family member should have to go through what these four families have been put through. I make it a point to mention the names of the victims often in my posts so that in fact they are never forgotten.

Yes, I have no doubt many of these family members and even friends of the deceased go on social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube and so on. Some likely more frequently than others. What they can be subjected to in chat groups dedicated to the case can be downright awful at times. We all want answers and most notably the families want and deserve answers.

In being in several Facebook chat groups and seeing some of the other chatter online about this case, I’m both inspired and appalled at times.

I’m inspired that so many people have taken interest in the case and more importantly showed such tremendous love overall towards the families.

On the flip side of the coin, I’m appalled at times by how some people are treated on social media. Specifically, those that even dare suggest something other than the police narrative of the individual in custody stalked one or more of the women in the home and acted out because he could not have them.

If we are being honest and even applying some commonsense, only a few people know what exactly happened at 1122 King Road on Nov. 13 of last year somewhere in the time frame of 4-4:25 a.m.

To say these tragic murders may be due to something other than the police narrative is acceptable and even normal, especially when information being released to the public has been so limited. That does not mean that anyone in that home alive or deceased is/were terrible people. And certainly none of the four victims by any means deserved what happened to them.

Social media and this case in particular at times brings out the worst in people.

Sadly, I feel at times like I’ve been transported back to junior high school and the cliques are running the show in the world of social media. Either tow the company line and think like everyone else or be ostracized.

News flash, you have every right to voice your opinion and beliefs, share theories that the main group of people think are outlandish, and not be ashamed of those thoughts. Doesn’t mean you are right, but you can and should be heard. People looking down on you because you may not share the same thoughts as others are the ones with the problem and not you.

So, should you already be on social media talking about this case or look to do so for the first time, stand your ground.

If someone says you’re nuts for thinking a certain way, just smile, don’t give them the time of day, move along.

Sometimes ignoring such people is more upsetting to their childish egos than if you confront them head on.

Idaho to seek death penalty against Kohberger

News came out Monday that Idaho was moving forward in seeking the death penalty against alleged killer Bryan Kohberger.

The Pennsylvania native is charged with four counts of felony murder and one count of burglary. This of course stems from the Nov. 13, 2022 deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. If convicted, Kohberger could be sentenced to lethal injection or another form of death in Idaho.

While we all want justice for the four victims and their families, I must admit I was a little stunned with much of the social media reaction to Monday’s news.

If you looked at Facebook in particular, you would have seen sharks in the water circling an injured seal pup or other form of marine life. To say Monday afternoon and evening was a feeding frenzy in some of the Facebook chat groups dedicated to the Idaho 4 case would be a clear understatement.

I get the emotion that stems from this case, particularly given the brutality with which the four victims met their demise. Anyone with a heart would want the killer/s to pay the ultimate price for what they did.

It is important to remember that Kohberger is innocent until proven guilty, though you may not know that from some of the reactions to this case on social media. For some, Kohberger is guilty until proven innocent. News flash!! That is NOT how our system works and we should all be thankful for that. This is not the days of the Old West and the posse strings someone up in some town be they guilty or perceived guilty.

If the person in custody now did these crimes, by all means they should pay with their life. In the event they had help, we need to double down and focus on finding who else was involved.

I’ve argued from day one that one person doing this horrific act was possible…. but more unlikely. I still stand by the notion that there was more than one individual involved. Perhaps strangers to the four victims, perhaps fellow students.

At the end of the day, justice will come to the Idaho 4 and their loved ones.

In the meantime, let us remember that everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty by a jury of their peers.

Until then, let us tone down the lynch mob mentality.

Moving away from the stalking premise

For much of these last eight months, the narrative behind the tragic murders of four University of Idaho students on Nov. 13, 2022 has been one or more of the women killed were targeted. The specific premise was that stalking was in play, notably with victim Kaylee Goncalves.

Move ahead to late June, much of the narrative from the police, prosecution, mainstream media and even many of the social media sleuths is that suspect Bryan Kohberger targeted one or more of the women in the home at 1122 King Road.

Along with the idea that Goncalves was being stalked, there have been suggestions that both Maddie Mogen and Xana Kernodle could have been the targets from their days working as servers at the Mad Greek restaurant in Moscow.

While it is certainly plausible that the end game when a trial finishes is we learn in fact Kohberger stalked one or more of these college students, I’ve moved away from that.

If you stop and think about things for a minute, why on Earth would someone take all the risk involved of entering a strange home in the middle of the night (technically early morning hours)? To satisfy some kind of sexual desire with a woman or women he could never date?

Emotions aside, think about the amount of risk involved, not knowing what is waiting for you on the other side of the door and armed with only a knife.

We know one of the victims, Ethan Chapin, was spending the night with his girlfriend (Kernodle) at the residence. Mogen also had a boyfriend who was not visiting this particular evening. What if he would have in fact been there? Goncalves could have had her on again/off again boyfriend there that night also. The two surviving roommates (Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke) might have had male guests there too. That is potentially a lot of males to go through for a single killer.

With that in mind, why not kidnap your object of desire when she is most vulnerable and not in a home full of others? That seems a much more plausible idea than going into a home with four vehicles out front and God knows how many people inside.

One of the other theories out there that I’ve swung more to in recent months is these killings involved drugs.

It makes more sense to think this could have been a drug hit, a drug sale gone bad etc. What may have been the idea of a single kill or sending a message got out of hand and before you know it you’ve got four dead bodies.

If you visit any number of the chat pages online devoted to the Idaho 4 murders, even remotely suggesting drugs were in play will draw the anger of many. In the eyes of many, college kids may drink a little here and there and get rowdy at times, but they NEVER do drugs. I’ve got news for you, drug use on college campuses and off-campus homes and apartments is a hell of a lot more prevalent than you may think. If you think it is not, you are naive.

No, I’m not saying all the residents in that home at 1122 King Road were heavy into drugs. For all we know, none of them may have done drugs at all. Then again, let’s not rule such a thing out because it is a dirty topic to talk about.

As we move closer to a trial, we will undoubtedly hear many continuing the theme that the suspect was a stalker and this was all about killing one or more people he could not have.

While that may ring true at the end of the day, at least keep an open mind to the possibility that this tragedy involved a lot more than that.

Where are the toxicology reports on the Idaho 4?

When four University of Idaho students were murdered last Nov. 13 in an off-campus home in Moscow, the town was beyond shocked.

Such tragedies do not happen in places such as Moscow more times than not. Perhaps the occasional traffic fatality, drug overdose etc. would befall a town that is about 25,000 in population. But a quadruple murder? No, such things are not typical of a place like this town in Northwest Idaho.

Flash-forward a little more than seven months later and there seem to be more questions than answers.

While 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger remains in a Moscow jail, charged with four felony counts of murder a single count of burglary, this is far from a slam dunk case.

Yes, I bought into the police and media narrative early on that this was a case of a stalker seeking his prey in the form of one or more young college women. While that still may end up being what pans out, I turned more towards something along the lines of a targeted hit on one or more of the individuals killed that early November morning.

While I still have plenty of questions related to this case, one that continues to stand out to me is why have there been no toxicology reports released on the four victims?

Yes, such reports tend to be more commonplace when death is due to a vehicle accident or something similar.

Why would the state want toxicology reports on four young adults who were stabbed to death?

Stop for a minute and think about the possibility one or more of the victims may have been drugged prior to being killed. Does it sound far-fetched? Yes, to some it may. To others, however, the thought that one or more of the victims could be an easier target and not as able to defend themselves if drugged is a possibility.

It is not uncommon for toxicology reports to be released anywhere from four to six months following a death.

Now, you may argue that this case involving four deaths would take longer to divulge such reports. Flip to the other side of the coin and you’d think if anything there would be more effort and speed to get such news out there to the public. Among the reasons to do this would be to quell any wild rumors etc.

While understand the need to have a gag order in place for such a high-profile case, the gag order in the Idaho 4 deaths seems to go beyond the norm.

From not releasing the toxicology reports to not making public the 911 call at 11:58 a.m. on Nov. 13 and more, there are many questions to still be answered.

If we discover no toxicology tests were done on Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, should that be a concern? It would seem any medical examiner looking to get all the facts possible would order toxicology reports for murder victims. Finding out if there were in fact drugs of any kind in their systems could prove relevant to the case.

With no toxicology reports in the Idaho 4 case made public, we’re left to wonder if in fact they were done at all.

In the event they were not done, it would be yet one more chapter in a case that continues to have more questions than answers seven months out.

Today is day to honor five special dads

As we mark Father’s Day here nationwide, it is important to say thank you to all the dads having made a difference.

While I never had children, I can only imagine the sacrifices that both men and women put into raising one child or multiples ones.

The deaths last fall of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin not only rocked Moscow, Idaho, but countless other towns and cities across the country. The four were brutally murdered in the off campus home that Goncalves, Mogen and Kernodle lived in. Chapin, boyfriend of Kernodle, was spending the night there.

Steve Goncalves, Ben Mogen, Steve Laramie (stepfather of Madison Mogen), Jeff Kernodle and Jim Chapin face their first Father’s Day without their beloved children killed in the early morning hours of Nov. 13.

While there will be plenty of time to talk more about the case moving forward, today is a day to send love to Steve G., Ben, Steve, Jeff and Jim.

I think it is safe to say after this tragic event that Kaylee, Madison, Xana and Ethan have millions of adopted parents nationwide now wanting justice for them and their families.

Trust me when I say that many will make sure the four are not forgotten.

For those five fathers having their first Father’s Day without their University of Idaho kids today, you are not forgotten either.

Has social media world already convicted Kohberger?

If you spend a ton of time on social media as I do for both work and personal interests, you may well have seen the hashtag #BryanKohberger. Another popular one is #Idaho4.

Sadly, both hashtags and others like them refer to the Nov. 13, 2022 killings of four young adults in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.

Sometime in the 3 a.m. – 4:30 a.m. time frame that Sunday, four lives were ended in a matter of minutes. Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin would not live to see the sun come up. For the four families of these University of Idaho students, their lives were taken that day in a manner too.

As we are now some seven months past the tragedy, those following the case continue to have opinions. Those opinions are often found on various social media platforms on a daily basis. Among the most popular for such opinions are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, You Tube and more.

While social media can be great for sharing information, learning about topics, and even helping in time of crimes such as kids gone missing, the social networking world has its dark side too.

If you go into various chat groups regarding the Idaho 4 case, you will discover that Kohberger has already been convicted in the court of social media. No trial, no presumed innocent until proven guilty etc. To many people partaking in these social media chats, the Pennsylvania native should get what may be coming to him. If this was the Old West, I think we would already have had a hanging if up to many of these folks.

I honestly do not know like the majority of others out there if Kohberger in fact did kill these four students. He may well have. If so, I hope he gets the maximum sentence and I would not bat an eye if that meant the death penalty.

On the flip side of the coin, I’m not ready to convict him or anyone else for that matter until I have heard and seen all the evidence from both the prosecution and defense.

What seemed to many (including myself early on) like an open and shut case has opened some eyes of late.

Like many individuals, I’m guilty of repeating myself at times. As such, cut me a little slack if you have read or heard the following from me before:

  • How does one individual go into a home in presumably dark conditions or limited lighting at best and wipe out four healthy young adults with only a knife in 13 minutes or so and on two different floors? Is it possible? By all means it is possible. Is it a slam dunk case for the prosecution? Hell no. Even if you assume all four students were drunk or even had drugs in their systems, you would have to catch them at just the right time, take out a key artery in a matter of seconds, not having to worry about any of them putting up a defense. Mind you this is all the while as you don’t know how many others are in the home and may be alerted to what one would think would be some screaming and other such commotion.
  • How does a person then after committing such a heinous crime leave the home with no trail of blood? If these murders were as ugly as we were led to believe from initial police reports, the killer should have blood all over them. Did they take a change of clothes with them and disrobe after killing the four? Seems like the last thing you would want to do would be take time to change clothes, especially when you could have others still alive in the home and a dog also.
  • Speaking of others in the home alive, why no attack on the two surviving roommates we’ve come to know as Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke? Hey, I am certainly happy both survived this early morning terror. But why did they live and the other four die? This is where my mind begins to drift to the possibility of this being some sort of drug hit and certain lives were left unharmed for a reason.
  • Why have toxicology results on the four victims and the infamous 911 call some 7-8 hours after the attacks not been released? How could one or both compromise the case and BK’s right to a fair trial? I am especially interested in the toxicology reports on the four. If one, several or all of them had drugs in their systems, this would lend more credibility to this being a drug hit.
  • When it comes to the infamous video most of us have seen now, what exactly did Mogen tell Adam (the bartender at a local club)? Goncalves is seen with Mogen and a male downtown hours before the two women are killed. In that video (https://tinyurl.com/3hu8pdu5), Mogen tells Goncalves she told Adam everything. Was it just talk about a guy or something involving drugs?
  • Did the University of Idaho and City of Moscow officials want a quick arrest following the Nov. 13 murders? While BK wasn’t arrested for nearly six weeks after the crimes, you can bet U of I and Moscow businesses were happy. Having an alleged serial killer roaming Moscow is not good for business on many fronts. With that in mind, did they get the right guy? Better yet, if BK in fact is the guy, did he have help? If yes, then we still have one or more criminals walking the streets of Moscow or are long gone by now.

While I participate in different social media chats regarding the case, I always go into them with an open mind. You are always going to have some people who want a conviction based more on emotion than the facts.

Time will tell if authorities got the right guy.

Meantime, some on social media are hoping BK and the death penalty go hand in hand.

So, with the evidence we have today (no doubt the police have more), would you easily convict BK in the murders of the Idaho 4?

Could a cover up be taking place in Moscow?

What happened in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho was tragic to say the least.

Four young lives with so much future ahead of them snuffed out in a matter of minutes.

When news broke of the Idaho 4 murders, many people were naturally stunned, appalled, upset and more. Imagine for a moment what the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Maddie Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were going through. Now some seven months later, the families are still torn by what many are thinking was not imaginable.

How could four young college students be dealt such a brutal ending to lives they barely had time to enjoy?

Some six weeks or so after the unimaginable happened at 1122 King Road, an individual was arrested on the other side of the country. As we work our way through the middle of June, Bryan Kohberger, 28, remains in a Moscow jail, charged with four counts of felony murder and one count of felony burglary.

So, is it likely that the police narrative that Kohberger broke into the home and killed the four students is in fact the truth?

There are Facebook groups dedicated to talking about the infamous case, what likely went down, what the future may hold as far as justice and so on. To many people in one group on FB (University of Idaho Murders – Case Discussion), Kohberger, who is presumed innocent until proven guilty, has already been convicted in the court of social media. If you mention the possibility of other alternatives, possible drug sales playing a role in the killings etc. you may well be labeled a conspiracy person.

I must admit that early on in the case and for a few months after, I took the bait. That was this was a stalking case of one or two of the women in the home and the suspect murdered those he could not have. Sadly, one or more of the victims may have been collateral damage on the morning of Nov. 13.

As time has passed, however, I am more inclined to think something more nefarious may be going on. Yes, I am beginning to think there may be a cover up to some degree or another happening.

Whenever a case of this magnitude finds its way into the world of social media, there will inevitably be many rumors, thoughts and the like as to what may have gone down. The Idaho 4 case is by no means any different.

While I have not a shred of evidence at the moment to back this up, my suspicion radar has been turning upwards in recent weeks. With that in mind, here is one possible scenario I see having taken place.

Sadly, drugs may well have played a role in the tragedy that unfolded that November morning at 1122 King Road. One or more people wanted one or more individuals in that home silenced over a possible drug sale gone bad, someone possibly going to authorities to rat one or more folks out, and even the possibility that higher ups in either the Moscow Police Department and/or the University of Idaho were afraid the public would learn some not so flattering news.

If you put your commonsense hat on for a moment, think about the following:

  • Most killers do not go into a strange home with multiple vehicles parked out front armed only with a knife. The risk of failure, being caught or even worse is relatively high. If you buy into the theory that Kohberger was stalking one or more of the females in the home, why not just follow and kidnap her at some point? Much less dangerous than going into a home where multiple boyfriends and/or guy buddies could be crashing for the night.
  • Why no blood trail (at least that we know of) leading from the home to a getaway car? There is all but no way all the reported blood from four victims cut open with a knife would not be carried outside to some degree. That is unless the suspect had help on the inside to get cleaned up and have what one would assume would be bloody clothing destroyed.
  • Why have the police not released toxicology reports on the four victims? I have heard multiple times how most if not all the victims were drunk to some degree when attacked. As such, they were not in a good position to know what was happening and/or fight back. Release the info along with the 911 call. Neither will taint a planned October trial. Is someone trying to hide something?
  • Was Kohberger arrested because he in fact is the lone killer? Or, was this an arrest requested by higher ups at MPD and U of I to quell fear in the community, keep a lid on potentially losing many students for the second semester? The potential for many students deciding not to come back after holiday break was there. Face it; Moscow in large part depends on the University of Idaho to keep going. Lose a big chunk of that revenue and suddenly businesses may be forced to close.

Like the majority of people, I was not in the home those early morning hours when all of this went down. As such, I do not know what truly transpired.

What I do know is that most alleged killers are not brazen enough to waltz into a strange home at 4 or so in the morning minus a gun and not knowing what may be on the other side of the door.

So, do you think Bryan Kohberger simply had a thing for one or more of the women living there and was determined to carry out what may have been some kind of sick fantasy?

Or, do you think that BK is being framed by some in power who don’t want one or more dirty secrets about Moscow getting out to the public?

Thank you very much for reading and please share your thoughts.
