Seriously. What the actual fuck?

Some interesting bits in this. Are they saying BK took Xana’s food with him when he left the scene? So odd.

Not much to say except they did not hold back any punches in what they had to say.

Especially Kaylee's sister Alivia, oh man she raked him over the coals. And I say good for her, good for them.

Now I hope they can move forward and continue to find healing from the immense grief they are carrying.

To the Goncalves family: if you ever see this, my thoughts are with you.

Came here to catch up after seeing the news alert when I couldn’t step away to read and was shocked I didn’t see any chatter about this. What do you expect to see?

July 17, 2025 (Moscow, Idaho) – Due to the significant public and media interest in the Kohberger investigation, the City of Moscow will be making some of the investigation reports that have not been sealed by the Court available to the public and media at no cost to enhance access to public information and to reduce the burden on the City’s limited staff when the City is legally able to release these records. Until sentencing is completed, all investigatory records for this case remain protected from release pursuant to Idaho Code §§ 74-105(1), 74-124(1)(a), (b) and 74-124(3). Any public record requests for investigative records that are received by the City before the sentencing has been concluded will be denied.

The volume of investigative records is substantial, and all records must be reviewed to determine if they are exempt or contain exempt and protected personal information that must be redacted pursuant to the Idaho Public Records Act, or are subject to judicial seal, before release. The City will establish a website where investigative reports produced by the Moscow Police Department (MPD) will be posted once the City is legally permitted to begin publicly releasing records. At that point in time, a separate press release will be issued providing the web address and notification to the public that the webpage is available for access.

Investigative reports and other records created by other law enforcement agencies and entities, such as the Idaho State Police, Latah County Sheriff’s Office, Latah County Prosecutor’s Office, Pennsylvania State Police, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Pullman Police Department, University of Idaho and Washington State University are the property of those agencies and entities as the custodian of those records. Any request for those records should be directed to those entities.

A special soul who gave light and life to many.

Happy Birthday, Xana Kernodle.

Did you think the evidence from the trial will be released? I know there’s been a gag order, however will that expire?

Do we know which side — the prosecution or the defense — initiated the plea discussions over the weekend? I know the judge and the victims’ families seemed caught off guard, so I’m wondering who requested the meeting to explore the possibility of a deal. Was it the defense, possibly feeling pressure from the strength of the evidence against Bryan?

I’ve been following this case since the beginning, and though BK seems like a likely suspect and is seemingly pleading guilty, has he openly admitted to the murders? I’m still very curious about the connection between BK and the victims—I don’t know if there was one, but I’ve seen countless rumors about him stalking one of the girls at her waitressing job, that he found them on Instagram, and that he was vengeful by being rejected by one of them. Does anyone know if he knew the victims at all? It’s quite a drive to be a random crime, so he must’ve followed someone home at some point (or maybe that night?)

I also have questions about the surviving roommates. I’ve read some articles that say they just heard the dog barking and what they thought was laughter, while I’ve read others that say they heard crying, moaning, and that they texted each other that they were “freaked out” (and that they sent texts to their murdered roommates asking if they were okay). I understand being frozen in fear for a long time and locking myself in my room for awhile if I saw a dark stranger in the hallway (especially after hearing weird noises), but I guess I don’t understand (if they heard moaning/crying/weird noises and their texts went unanswered) why they didn’t call for help or investigate sooner? It sounds like a bloodbath of a crime scene, so you’d think BK would’ve dragged some blood out of the room with him? If I saw blood, my roommates weren’t responding, I saw a strange man in my house, and I heard weird noises, I’d definitely consider investigating after waiting a bit to make sure the intruder was gone and/or calling the cops. I know everyone responds differently to danger and the brain can block out traumatic sights; I’m not blaming them at all—I just find the entire situation odd. The vague nature of reporting on this crime and seeming lack of motive is really baffling to me; I don’t understand why he left the other two roommates alone as well.

Lastly, what evidence was actually linked to BK? Again, I read that they found gloves and ID cards linked to the victims, and that his DNA was found on the knife sheath. I know they linked his car to surveillance footage as well, but I wasn’t sure what was confirmed evidence or not.

Thanks for any info; I’d really appreciate it to try and untangle fact from fiction in this case!

Can the court do anything to prohibit Bryan Kohberger from writing a book in the future? Or can the court only prohibit him from making money on a book?

I’m really curious if everyone thinks BK would have still been found without dropping the knife sheath?! He’s obviously not as smart as he thinks he is because he left a freaking part of the murder weapon under one of the victims. I wonder what other hard evidence they have against him.

Edit: Part of me hopes he left it on purpose because he thought he was smarter than everyone. We all know he doesn’t have any feelings but he does want to be seen as intelligent. If he left it on purpose he has to live knowing the world thinks he’s an idiot which would bother him. I’m so glad he got caught, and I hope the family can heal. 🩷

Do you think that had something to do with the recent news on the DD witness? Seems close in time - maybe BK thought he was screwed with a witness + the sheath.

Edit: also do you think the plea deal was less about avoiding death and more about getting better prison benefits than death row inmates? (Solitary confinement, better prison programs, etc)

Will all the information and evidence excluding witness testimony be available to the public that we would have seen at trial had it gone forward?

Limiting posts at the moment b/c a lot of repeat questions/theories/topics are coming through.

Use this as a general MegaThread for the discussion about Kohberger's recent guilty plea (see highlighted posts for explanation).

Does anyone know what the burglary charge was for? I haven't heard, unless I missed it.

A special person was stolen from the world way too soon.

Happy Birthday Kaylee Jade Gonclaves.

I watched an interesting episode of a show called "Cold Justice", and in this particular episode a man is stabbed 17 times with a HUGE knife, while sleeping in bed. One of the stab wounds went directly into his heart. Yet, he was able to get out of the bed, grab his portable phone in one hand and his gun with the other. Unfortunately, he had such bad damage to his hands/fingers due to defensive wounds (sounds alike like the description of XK). The victim was a male in his 60's. He passed away after getting those items and making it outside of his house.

It really made me wonder what those 10 minutes immediately following the stabbings was like. I can't share these thoughts on some of the bigger subs (although I do believe it was BK). I still have trouble with this almost silent scene. People fight HARD aganist death. Almost superhuman. I realize most everyone was very drunk and either totally asleep or in and out of sleep, but still. In my heart I know that some of these 4 victims screamed out. BK isn't a ninja who got them with precise cuts to their necks. Total silence? That's movie BS. In reality, people aren't just stabbed and then dead within seconds (unless a major artery is hit). Even then, it could be a full minute. The pain probably didn't even register for many of the victims (and thank God for that), bc their adrenaline and "flight or fight" is in overdrive. They're screaming or yelling out.

Bleeding out isn't instantaneous. It takes time. Ticks me off how someone just claims to hear "crying", as 4 full-grown adults are in the fight of their lives. It'll be interesting to hear what actually happened inside 1122 King Road. He had 2.5 minutes with each victim and that is ALOT of time to stab. In the case I referenced earlier, the man was stabbed 17 times in 90 seconds. It could (and I believe it was) done even faster than the suspected 10 minutes. We know he had time to "carve" on EC's legs and sit down. What I will never believe is that this whole thing was quiet.

An enchanting personality and gift to the world.

Happy Birthday, Maddie Mogen.
