Insanity shouldn't be a defense. Insane murders should be removed from society the same as sane murderers.

I think it depends on what you mean.

If you're talking about someone like Dennis Rader, who is only "insane" in the sense that he enjoys killing women for no reason, yes, lock him up and throw away the key.

OTOH, someone like Andrea Yates who while in the grip of religious mania/psychosis genuinely thought she was doing her kids a favor by drowning them, throwing her in jail with a bunch of people who committed murder for money or drugs, or giving her the death penalty, would not have been justice, imo.

The concept I would favor is guilty BUT insane, and keeping people somewhere that keeps the rest of us safe from them. Enacting vengeance via incarceration for the genuinely psychotic does not seem appropriate.

Just go on Twitter and search "idaho 4chan" WARNING: it's ****ed up

****ed up indeed. I'm going with the 48 hour rule on this *****

If true, this will be the most streamed true crime documentary in history.

They seemed to know what type of knife was used and chance of self injury was high due to dulling blade. Maybe they found some blood of his on site as well.

Now he reportedly asked cops when arrested "did they arrest anybody else" trying to sow seeds of doubt for defense eh?

Somebody (most likely family) may have been helping him lay low.

He graduated from DeSales University in Pennsylvania in May 2022 with a master of arts in criminal justice.

As part of his research Kohberger posted an appeal for help on social media with his research which was looking at how 'emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime.'

It's damn near impossible to stab someone who is resisting without cutting your hands.

fresh blood is like lubricant, hard to hold on to the knife all bloody.

Driving your own car and killing them in a manner that will surely leave DNA is definitely not criminal mastermind material. Definitely just first semester material vs actually earning that phd

---

only a PHD candidate could be stupid enough to not realize how to get rid of incriminating evidence.

"hey, I will keep my blood drenched vehicle that has been on the news for a month and go on public REDDITS asking how murderers feel after committing murder!"

and it says they were able to track down the owner of the car seen near the crime scene

sounds like the PD did an absolutely amazing job with this case, and as others have said likely played extremely coy and unassuming with the information they had in order to give a false sense of security against this guy.

they will be talking about this case and the PD's response for years to come.

Having a criminology-focused undergrad degree (one of them, at least), I'll be very interested to research and read the details of the processes used to locate and capture the suspect. I interned with the US Marshal Service program while in Austin, and the level of skill they and other agencies deploy makes TV shows look silly in comparison.

Everyone is going to be curious what if any connection there is to him and the victims.

Are they still having a press conference at 3:00 central?

Rumors on Twitter that his sister lived next door

Can someone share the 4chan link? I can't find it.

August 2022 body cam for noise complaints at the ex-bf house and 1122 king rd. Kaylee talks to cops. They walk to 1122 at 2:14 in video (and 11:44). Dude from Sept 1st noise compliant video also in this video



1000 watt JBL party box next to sliding door definitely would provide the decibels for a noise complaint

so is the theory now going to be hot coed had a insane stalker who went gunning for her and had to take out the roommates who got in the way?

It going to share that on here. Go see my above post with a WARNING if you really want to find it

Then the rumor I mentioned from Twitter is probably wrong

.

Yes.

anyone see this special on A&E TV "First 48 Hours Atlanta"

it's horrifying- a murder of a young hottie in Atlanta dumped in a park naked.

case went cold for 18 months

before they found the killer based on DNA match of an arrested felon who was in prison on a different case. that guy likely murdered 5 others over the years as well. stalked young women and abducted them.

about a 5 hour series - amazing!

I'm going to murder a few people- but first just so it makes the job of the police much easier I am going to post in a popular internet forum on murdering people so they can find me quickly:

"Hello,

My name is Bryan, and I am inviting you to participate in a research project that seeks to understand how emotions and psychological traits influence decision-making when committing a crime. In particular, this study seeks to understand the story behind your most recent criminal offense, with an emphasis on your thoughts and feelings throughout your experience. In the event that your most recent offense was not one that led to a conviction, you may still participate. Additional surveys are included after the open-ended section as to best understand your unique traits. The study should take about 15-20 minutes to fully complete.

Your identity and all answers provided are completely confidential, and the link to the survey is also an anonymous link. This research has been approved by the DeSales University IRB.
Participants must be 18 years of age and older.
If you opt to participate, you may terminate participation at any time and for any reason.

to be fair his post was posted months before this crime (it's not as if he did it after committing these heinous acts).

It seems like the gas station employee who found the footage of the white Elantra really helped crack this case.

I haven't been following all these threads- can someone post more about this and the video?

Lol "to be fair" to a likely quadruple homicide murderer.

here's a hint they teach you in law school-

don't go onto the internet and post "how did you stalk your first victim and plan on getting away with the murder"

But not getting rid of that car (if it was his) when everyone in the country knew that was what the police were looking for obviously is pretty stupid.

Yeah, but I can see someone thinking he's in the clear because he's a couple thousand miles away. People like this guy always think they're smarter than everyone else (and I am sure he is pretty high IQ).

---

you think he has a pretty high IQ based on what?!

going to Washington State is not exactly Yale or MIT.

being in a criminal justice program (basically 90% of football players study this in undergrad)

is not exactly quantum physics.

not dumping the car, posting to the internet- these are all hardly "high IQ" practices.
