LOL, all that planning and the goober left the knife sheath behind on a bed and didn't bother to cover the top half of his head. The sheath is really what fucks him, all the stuff about the car and cell phones don't put him in that house, but he slapped his DNA right down on the thing that housed the murder weapon.

In my experience with true crime, the criminals who really take steps to cover for themselves and do so effectively are very rare. Everyone else is an idiot who either gets caught pretty quick or gets lucky by getting incompetent police investigating them.

He was cut and bled during the murders.

So what you are saying is that planning and executing multiple homicide is stupid?

I think the zeitgeist of serial murders has been moving to the mass murdering in recent year is because how cheap it is put a camera outside of your house 247.

This is especially the case in place like China where the detectives can freely use cellphone base station data to fine comb the movement of the individual cellphones during the time of murder, and also there is no anonymous prepaid sims. Also rise of DNA analysis can nail down individuals much more precise than blood types.

I guess what I'm saying is if you are considering a multiple homicide, you probably aren't as smart as you think you are.

I don't know if anyone is still following this but an article just came out saying the dude was "fired as a teaching assistant" because of a sexist attitude toward women and arguing with his professors. Apparently this went down in October and after "failing to meet expectations" he was "fired" at the end of the semester.

What this means is he hosed up so bad his first semester they were kicking him out of grad school. His career in criminology was done. From a grad student/academia perspective this is a completely catastrophic gently caress up. I gotta imagine this factored into what he did.

Remember that neuroscience phd student that shot up that theater in Colorado during The Dark Knight? Apparently he had recently failed his comprehensive exams

Not saying there is a connection between failing grad school and becoming a murderer, but...

I still think you don't randomly find a house and kill 3-4 people, you probably have done it before.

One thing I missed: apparently he had his cell phone on him so the investigators were able to track that he was in that area at that time. He is not a smooth criminal.

Why would you have your cell phone on you lol no wonder he was getting kicked out of grad school

Is "tracking cellphone tower history fingerprint" allowed in every state? I have heard about it being done in Chinese detective cases; I didn't know it's common in America.

He had it on airplane mode but turned it off when he was close to home. The theory is he had with him to take pictures

Pretty sure it is? It crops up a ton, but I can think of two cases of the top of my head where it led to charges in Missouri and South Carolina.

I liked this VF article. I think they hit the right balance between talking about the victims and the suspect.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
They should talk about the killer like "this guy was a big fat dumbass nerd who was clearly lashing out because of his tiny peen" to dissuade copycats

Sorry to bump this old rear end thread, but new developments in the case.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/25/us/idaho-student-killings-kohberger-alibi/index.html

quote:

Bryan Kohberger’s attorneys suggest they’ll present evidence that he was elsewhere during the killings of 4 Idaho students

The defense has officially put in an alibi defense claiming they can prove that he was somewhere else during the murders. In addition, they are now claiming that the knife sheath with DNA was planted by the PD. The claim is that there is no way to know whether the sheath was actually part of a knife used in the murder because the murder weapon has not been found, and that there was discrepancies in the forensics, which could indicate foul play.

I lived just a couple miles away when that happened, and my sister was on site, so that's a pretty weird fact.
