FBI directed Indiana police to record images of Brian Kohberger’s hands MOSCOW, Idaho – A Federal Bureau of Investigation surveillance team tracked Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger and his father on a cross-country road trip from Washington State to Pennsylvania and asked Indiana police to pull him over, a law enforcement source told Fox News. The law enforcement source told Fox News that the FBI surveillance team was seeking video images of Kohberger as well as his hands. Bryan Kohberger and his father were pulled over twice in Indiana on Dec. 15 while making the cross-country trip. The law enforcement source said that investigators were still building their case on Dec. 15 to make an arrest, but added that genealogy played a major role
sheesh, that's going to give paranoid people a heart attack. a three letter government agency is tracking you for a crime and they have state police pull you over multiple times to better surveil you. I guess sometimes the dudes in the tin foil hats manage to make contact with the ball now and then.
I believe he was talking about the quadruple homicide he committed and pretending to be fuzzy on the details.
Yea, I was busy thinking this was way too much for small town Idaho cops to handle, thought they were in over their head and that's why we hadn't heard shit in so long. Seems like they had their prime suspect from the beginning. Crazy.
I wonder if they figured it was him very early on but waited until they had a tight enough case to charge a doctoral student of criminology studying under a serial killer expert. Perhaps even played dumb to keep him under easy surveillance. No doubt his background played a major role in how law enforcement proceeded.
Really want to know how they caught him. Confirms it'd be pretty much impossible to be a serial killer in present day.
Mass killing is the only option now for these people to get their rocks off. Hopefully the feds are able to get a tighter handle on those moving forward.
Pretty sure the FBI thinks there are dozens of active serial killers in the country at any given time. I think they mostly seem to kill random people on the outskirts of society though. People that are tougher to notice missing than four college students in the same house at the same time. A disproportionate amount of the serial killers are alleged to be truckers actually. Coincidentally, exactly what Montclaire de Haviland does for a living [probably].
MMIW has to be the largest factor in all of that Nobody gives a fuck about the indigenous, and there are all sorts of loopholes in the laws in general in that regard.
murders go unsolved all the time. his mistake was the multiple murders, that's when the locals call in the big guns and what might be missed by some schlub tech making $41,000 a year is going to be spotted by some FBI uber-tech. I've always been led to believe serial killers become essentially addicted to killing which is why they're (mostly) eventually caught but if you were to have the capability to commit a single murder and then shut that part of your brain down for years and go again and repeat, alternating where it happens, who is targeted, and how you commit the murder you'd probably stand your best chance of getting away with it. the issue is that requires a lot of willpower and planning and it seems too difficult for most. it's definitely happening right now in present day although one would imagine maybe per capita the number is lower than back before when if you weren't directly spotted by eye witnesses you could be a serial killer with relative ease decades back. I remember going down a bit of a rabbit hole after watching Wind River and yea, it's scary what happens to those people, the women in particular. nobody here or in Canada cares one iota, especially nobody in government.
Fuck. These figures are absurd “In the US, Native American women are more than twice as likely to experience violence than any other demographic. One in three Indigenous women is sexually assaulted during her life, and 67% of these assaults are perpetrated by non-Indigenous perpetrators.[21][22][23][24][25][a]”
Human trafficking/sexual assault of Native Alaskans is a big problem up here unfortunately. Natives from villages will come to the big “cities” for supplies/medical care/etc and predators will either encourage them or take advantage of them using/abusing alcohol/drugs. Sad stuff.
Yea assault/straight up murders of indigenous people is a huge problem. Listened to a podcast about how bad it is in Canada, similar to this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/02/canada-murders-indigenous-women Same concept as killing prostitutes, druggies, etc. -- enforcement doesn't view them as real people and just doesn't expend a lot of effort. Shit's fucked.
My company's newspaper won the Pulitzer in 2020 reporting on basically this up here. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/202...eries-wins-pulitzer-prize-for-public-service/
BTK stopped for years but went back to it- he was obsessed with attention though. The East Area Rapist genuinely appears to have stopped. He progressed from creeping and petty burglary to sexual assault to killing females to then killing males and female at home. It appears to have been when his kids were born though I suspect it was partly to do with him becoming older and the nature of his crimes restricting that. There were some rumours of prowling by him as he got older but don’t think it was ever substantiated. He was also rumoured to have followed his case online. The police never confirmed what they knew about what he got up to after his crimes. It could well be possible to shut that part of the brain off?!
Interestingly enough, Kohberger studied under a professor who was very close to BTK. She wrote his biography.
And the only reason BTK got caught was because he used a computer to print off the letter he sent so they were able to figure out what type he used and everything.
I still dont understand the mass shooting he's talking about in the police body cam video. He says it happened an hour and a half ago. His murders were wks before. Wtf was that? And who gets pulled over on a highway and when asked where they are headed says to get thai food? The dude had to think he was in trouble after being pulled over twice in a half hour. Surprised he didnt try to make a run into Canada or some shit.
He was technologically handicapped and gave them a floppy disk that a forensic tech was able to pull data off indicating the computer at his church that he used to edit the files with. All because he asked them to be honest about their abilIty to do that very thing and they said it wasn’t possible.
It’s actually way more hilarious than that. He sent the cops a floppy disk with a letter on it and the file’s metadata revealed his identity. This is after he asked the police if using a floppy disk was a secure was to communicate and they said, “yeah buddy. 100% secure.” https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/01/the-floppy-did-me-in/283132/
