Newly released court documents reveal that surveillance cameras played a crucial role in tracking Bryan Kohberger’s movements — as well as those of the victims — in the hours leading up to the University of Idaho murders. Investigators pieced together video footage from a network of cameras across Moscow, Idaho, to map out the victims’ final evening and Kohberger’s alleged path both before and after the killings. This surveillance helped authorities narrow the timeframe of the crime and identify Kohberger’s white Hyundai Elantra, which was seen repeatedly driving near the crime scene around the time of the murders.

According to the documents, camera footage showed Kohberger’s vehicle leaving his Pullman apartment late at night, circling the victims' neighborhood multiple times, and then quickly departing the area after the estimated time of the murders. Additional video captured the victims at various locations on the night of November 12 into the early hours of November 13, including stops at a bar and a food truck. This comprehensive surveillance trail was key evidence that eventually led authorities to focus on Kohberger as a suspect.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
What's up everyone, and welcome back to the program. As
the days tick by and we get closer to the
Brian Colberger trial kicking off, we're learning a lot more
from the prosecutors and the defense in the new filings
that continue to hit the docket pretty much on a
daily basis. And we're learning now that cameras trace Brian
Colberger and the victims alleged routes before the Idaho homicides.

(00:25):
So today we have an article from the Idaho Statesman
and the headline cameras trace Brian Colberger victims alleged route
before Idaho homicides. This article was authored by Kevin Fixler.
Surveillance camera video that investigators use to build their case
in the University of Idaho student homicide is expected to
be played at defendant Brian Colberger's upcoming murder trial, with

(00:49):
prosecutors planning to show jurors how footage and the resulting
timeline point to him as a loan suspect. Please canvas
the Moscow neighborhood near the off campus house on King
Road where the four U of I undergraduates were found
dead in November of twenty twenty two, and obtained recorded
video from homes and area businesses to help narrow the

(01:10):
possible time of the crime. The victims were seniors Kelly
Gonsalves and Madison Mogan, both twenty one, junior Xana Kernodle,
and freshman Ethan Chapin, both twenty Coberger thirty, is charged
with four counts of first degree murder and prosecutors intend
to seek the death penalty if a jury finds him
guilty at his capital murder trial this summer in Boise.

(01:33):
At the time, he was a graduate student at Washington
State University on the other side of the Idaho state
line in Pullman, Washington. The four students stabbing deaths were
initially thought to have happened in a twenty five minute
window between four and four to twenty five am. The
probab will cause afy David read but after further law
enforcement review of surveillance cameras from more than twenty locations,

(01:57):
prosecutors alleged the four victims were killed in a thin
thirteen minutes spend between four oh seven and four twenty am,
according to recent court filings, and that of course, has
brought out all the weirdos. Oh, there's no way somebody
can kill four people in thirteen minutes. Meanwhile, the four
people are drunk and sleeping, not exactly what i'd call
ready for a fight. And I think that with the

(02:19):
element of surprise, there's no doubt that somebody could do
what happened here and could do it on their own.
So I think the whole entire scenario, or the theory
that people are pitching that there was more than one
murderer is ridiculous. There is zero evidence pointing to that. Now, look,
I'm not saying that I wouldn't look at the evidence.
I most certainly would, just like in everything else we cover,

(02:42):
I don't have an ax to grind with Brian Colberger.
I don't know the dude, but the facts are what
they are, and the evidence that's been compiled against Brian
Colberger is very very strong when you braid it all together.
Led by Attorney Ann Taylor, Coberger's public defense team has
maintained his innocence throughout corporate seatings since his arrest in
late December of twenty twenty two. That police canvas for

(03:05):
a video footage to help the investigation included local businesses
in downtown Moscow where Agon saw this in Mogan College
roommates and best friends since childhood, were out together late
on November twelfth into early November thirteenth. Surveillance video from
fourteen cameras at a local bar showed that they left
at about one thirty seven am and arrived at one

(03:26):
forty three am to a food truck park near Friendship
Square Footage showed the two women spent about ten minutes
there before they headed home to eleven twenty two King Road.
The court filings read, and when this was all first breaking,
there was a lot of talk about that food truck
and what was going on with the people around it
who were interacting with Kaylee and Madison. Now, obviously that

(03:50):
all turned out to be a bunch of nothing, but
the way people were speculating and the things people were
saying were just crazy. People were sure that so and
so was respond constable because of his body language, or
because he was looking sideways at Kaylee during the interactions
at the food truck. All kinds of crazy shit. But
whenever there's a tragedy such as this and there's no answers,

(04:13):
there's going to be people who fill the void and
come up with their own speculation and their own theories, right,
And I certainly have no problem with that. People are
going to speculate, people are going to theorize. It's when
people act like they have the absolute information when that
information isn't available, that's a problem. Oh, I know, so
and so, No you don't. How do you know that?
What you mean is I think because with the nature

(04:36):
of this case and the gag order and the lack
of official information, we're all at the mercy of what's
in those court documents. So as far as information goes,
it's an even playing field. Basically, video retrieved from nearby
main street businesses Cafe Artista and Moscow Bagel and Delhi
helped fill the gap, prosecutors said. Other security camera footage

(04:57):
that leaked in December of twenty twenty two, about two
weeks before Coburger's arrest, appeared to show Gon, Solve and
Mogen walking with the male companion from the local bar
corner club to the Grub Truck food truck. And when
all of this was first breaking, I thought that the
person who ended up being Jack that they called a
bunch of times, was responsible for what happened, But as

(05:18):
the evidence rolled in, it was apparent that that wasn't
the case, because it was just straight up chaos in
the early hours of this investigation. Nobody knew shit. Sure
everybody had a theory, everybody had some speculation, but nobody
really knew what was what. So at that point, pretty
much everybody was a suspect. Still more, surveillance video from
a farmer's insurance branch assisted police in understanding on solvice

(05:41):
in Mogan's movements before they received a ride home from
a private party at about one point fifty six am.
Police said, and all of this is going to be
crucial for the prosecution when they're building that timeline in
the courtroom, and when you add that up with all
the other work product that they're working on, all the
other exhibits, all the other evidence, it's going to lead
to a timeline that is not only on paper, but

(06:03):
they're going to have a video that recreates the timeline,
recreates the pathway that the alleged killer took. And that's
really strong evidence. You get that kind of evidence in
front of you as a jur and you're saying to yourself, man,
there is a lot here, There is a lot to
go on. We have all this circumstantial video. We have

(06:23):
all of these pings, we have the purchase history of
the knife, and then you add it all up and
you glue it together with the DNA on the sheath
of the knife that Brian Colberger allegedly purchased. That, my friends,
is pretty strong evidence. And when you start talking about
the DNA portion of it, forget it. Once you have
DNA like the DNA we see here. Unless his team

(06:46):
can find a way to get it tossed, that's gonna
spell doom for Brian Colberger, just like I told you
that the Cassie video is gonna spell doom for Diddy.
Same shit here. And if you remember back to the
Alec Murdau trial, it was the digital evidence sunk him too.
And when all this said and done here up in Moscow,
I think that this digital evidence is going to end
up writing the tale. It's going to tell the story.

(07:08):
The question is is that story going to match up
with what the government's telling us and lead us to
Brian Coberger. Matt Manderville, who operates one of the two
farmers insurance offices in Moscow, told the Idaho Statesmen police
called them in the weeks after the student homicides to
ask whether he had any security footage from his building,

(07:29):
which sits just off the main road connecting Moscow and Pullman,
but he did not. Kelly Kimberling Gilder, the city's other
farmer's agent, whose office is on Main Street where gonsol
This and Mogan were walking early on November thirteenth, declined
to answer the question and directed the Statesman the Moscow
police for anything further. So that means that their footage

(07:51):
was used. But the gag order means they can't say
shit about it, so they have to refer people to
the police or the prosecutor or the court. But it's
certainly a tell that they didn't say anything, and the
other person, mister Mandraville did. Prosecutors say they no longer
plan to rely on the farmer's insurance surveillance video during trial. Meanwhile,

(08:11):
Kernodle and Chapin, who were dating, were at his fraternity
Sigma Kai, from about nine pm on November twelfth to
about one forty five am on November thirteenth. The affidavit
said they arrived back about the time to the King
Road property, located about four hundred feet away from the
fraternity house as the Crow Flies, where Kernodle lived with Gonsalves,

(08:32):
Mogan and two other female roommates who went unharmed in
the early morning attack. Kernodle and Chapin actually returned to
the King Road house after two am, according to recent
court filings. And still to this day, there's stunods out
there that say that the fraternity had something to do
with these murders. I'm convinced that people just say shit
to say it. Now. Look, I understand talking about that

(08:53):
in the very beginning when we didn't know anything, but
to continue on with your bullshit when there's evidence that
points clearly to somebody else is just crazy, in my opinion.
Suspect vehicle number one circle King Road area at least
five times. Investigators obtained hours of footage from at least
five cameras around Pullman, including the WSU campus, to track

(09:14):
a white Sedan believed to be the same vehicle recorded
near the King Road house the morning of the homicides.
The Abid David said an FBI vehicle identification expert determined
the car to be a white Hondai a Lantra. From
twenty eleven to twenty sixteen, police said and labeled it
suspect vehicle number one. Coburger owned a twenty fifteen white

(09:36):
Hondai a Lantra, and the FBI expert initially believed the
vehicle to be a twenty eleven through a twenty thirteen model,
but later advised it to extend to twenty sixteen. Police said,
and the Weirdo Coburger fans, they'll latch onto that and say, look,
it's not the right vehicle. You got the wrong guy,
You got the wrong bushy eyebrows. Unfortunately for them, the

(09:57):
evidence points directly to their guy. The only question is
will the prosecution be able to make that evidence stick.
Coburger's defense pushed to bar the FBI expert from using
the phrase suspect vehicle one about the car scene in
different surveillance videos while testifying at trial. His attorneys argued
that doing so was unfairly prejudicial to their client because

(10:18):
labeling the cars from various bits of footage as the
same vehicle is speculative. But Judge Stephen Hiler denied the request,
ruling that there was no legal basis for its exclusion,
and he's not wrong. That's what it is. Suspect vehicle
number one. Nobody's saying that it's Brian Colberger's vehicle, yet
simply suspect vehicle number one. The white sedan was first

(10:38):
recorded in Pullman at two forty four am on November thirteenth,
as it headed east on State Route two seventy in
the direction of Moscow. Police said it was recorded again
at three h two am by a surveillance camera at
Floyd's Cannabis Company, located just off Route two seventy. Prosecutors said,
maybe whoever was driving that vehicle should have stopped over

(10:59):
at Floyd's, got themselves a blunt and calmed the fuck down.
At three twenty six am, cameras at three residences in
the seven hundred block of Indian Hills Drive in Moscow
picked up the same vehicle, prosecutors alleged. Two minutes later,
at three twenty eight am, surveillance footage at Sunset Mark
gas station in Moscow recorded the car turned west about

(11:20):
a half mile away and headed in the direction of
the King Road House. Footage from a security camera on
the neighboring house at eleven twelve King Road first recorded
the vehicle in the area at three thirty am. Prosecutors
said in court filings. Over the next thirty four minutes,
it circled the neighborhood at least five times before it
appeared to the park at four oh seven am. They said, so, yeah,

(11:43):
not looking good for Brian Coberger. Right now people are
going to say, well, we don't know what's his car.
How can you prove it? Trust me, the FBI is
going to prove it. The vehicle, matching the description of
vehicle one, exits the frame, traveling west in the direction
of the victim's residence. Prosecutors wrote. There is no subsequent
vehicle activity captured for approximately thirteen minutes after the headlights

(12:05):
are seen. At four twenty am, the white sedan leaves
the King Road area at a high rate of speed
and appeared to turn west onto Taylor Avenue to exit
the area on the road behind the neighborhood. Prosecutors set
in court filings, so what was this car doing speeding
away from the scene of the crime. And when you
add that all together with everything else, we know all

(12:26):
this other video, At least in my opinion, it paints
a damning picture of Brian Kohberger and his activities. At
five twenty six am, a vehicle matching The same description
is next recorded on surveillance footage at E and S
Services at thirteen hundred Johnson Road and Pullman. Prosecutors said

(12:47):
footage from security cameras at Sunset mar gas station and
Pullman showed the car headed north on State Route two. Seventy.
Cameras on the WSU campus recorded the vehicle making its
way north near Beasley Coliseea, which was about a mile
from Coburger's student apartment. Colberger's closely watched case is scheduled
for trial to begin with jury selection in late July.

(13:10):
It's expected to extend into November. So, look, the evidence
continues to roll in, and I think that as we
get closer to trial, obviously we're going to get a
better idea of what the prosecution is doing. And I
think that's starting to formulate right now, and we're starting
to get a much better idea from these court filings
that have recently hit the docket. And then you add

(13:32):
to that the orders that we've seen from Judge Hipler
in regards to these motions, and I don't think it's
looking good for Brian Colberger. And I think that unless
something drastic happens before the trial. I think that Brian
Colberger is in for a very rough ride in the
weeks and months ahead, and like usual, we'll be here
the whole entire time, following along with all the twists
and turns as the State of Idaho continues to make

(13:55):
its case against Brian Colberger. All of the information that
goes with this can be found in the description box.
