4 University of Idaho students stabbed to death [November 16, 2022]

IMO …

Good bet you’ve nailed it. The first 2 were poster children perfect blond sorority popular chix. They were his target.

The other two had the bad luck to be collateral damage. If she’d gone for food 10 minutes later she’d be alive today.

Kohberger would still be screwed since he left the knife sheath in the first bedroom not the second.

Wtf, that’s the first I heard that some people thought Ethan’s siblings (he’s a triplet) were involved. Where is that even coming from? I do agree that the incel motive is possible. I also agree that either both Maddy and Kaylee were targeted or at least one of them.

Whenever humans do stupid things, it’s almost always a safe bet to assume that sex, or lack thereof, was the motive.

Sex, alcohol, or Florida.

Better yet all three!

The Holy Trinity

And this is why I don’t follow these things any more than I do.

I just don’t tolerate that kind of BS and getting into a discussion with idiots is meaningless.

More like “unholy trinity”, but I like your point to.

Or “the trifecta of illl-considered fun”?

Say rather “ill-considered folly”.

No statement from Kohberger. Someone said, “Surprise surprise,” and “Coward!” :roll_eyes:

Time to lock the thread and throw away the key perhaps?

j/k. :wink:

Certainly not: The Moscow, Idaho police department has released 314 documents which surely someone here will want to read completely:

But for those of you too lazy to do this (including myself) there have been summaries posted:

Now that we have Dracula locked up forever I feel like venting a minor quibble. I’ve lived here in Moscow for 20 years, about a mile from the murder scene, and find it irritating to keep read about our “traumatized” town having lived in a constant state of quaking fear until the arrest was announced.
Yes Moscow is a small city of about 25,000 people, but it isn’t Mayberry RFD. I’m sure some UI students were nervous but my experience of the overall mood
here was more along the lines of “Hope they catch the guy soon.” It wasn’t as if everybody was huddled around their fireplaces with boards nailed across their windows.

Thank you. I feel better now.

But that doesn’t provide the drama necessary for click-bait.

FOUR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS KILLED
‘Sure hope they catch the bastard,’ neighbors say

just won’t cut it.

The “One Night In Idaho” documentary really played it up too. It didn’t impress us much for other reasons as well, and made us uninterested in seeing the other one.

I haven’t followed this case, it’s just too awful.

If Maddy and/or Kaylee were the intended targets, how did he know they were on the 3rd floor? Is that known?

Just an inference here, but a CNN article I read indicates that “someone” (possibly him) may have been stalking them for weeks at least, possibly even hanging out behind their house watching them. Some real Red Dragon vibes, honestly.

It’s also not like it was a big secret whose room was whose. The residents of the house knew people, they threw parties sometimes, people at parties sometimes go into bedrooms for various reasons, etc. It wouldn’t take much asking around to find out. It might take some finesse to ask around without looking like a creep in the process, but it looks like “not looking like a creep” wasn’t high on Kohberger’s list of priorities.

Pretty darn easy to stake out the house on a night you know your target is out, then await their return, then see which bedroom light turns on. Doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to carry that deduction to a conclusion.

I’m pretty sure that’s not a question anyone would answer, though. Never mind looking like a creep.

More plausibly—and this is also something that is implied in the article I read—he entered the house while everyone was gone and just went and found the bedrooms, possibly using context clues (like family pictures or names on items) to figure out whose was who’s. It was noted that one door was a combination lock that lots of people knew the combination to (and at times did not properly lock regardless) and there was also a sliding glass door that they didn’t always lock.
