After just 24 hours in prison, Brian Coburger has already started complaining and making demands.

Killer Coburger has no trouble admitting to violently killing four people with a knife in a sneak attack in the middle of the night. But after just one night in J Block at the Idaho maximum security prison, prison, he's begging to be transferred out. He submits a handwritten note telling the deputy warden, he is being subjected to minute by minute verbal threats and harassment and asked to be transferred out of Unit 2 on J Block because he says, quote, J Block is an environment I wish to transfer from. In his first note of complaint and begging, Coburger violates a cardinal rule of prison, never ratting out your fellow prisoners. Coatberger writes, he is, quote, not engaging in any of the recent flooding slash striking.

Now, flooding in prison jargon refers to inmates intentionally causing water, i.e. their toilets to overflow in their cells, creating a disruption on the block. And by saying he isn't taking part, he's pointing his bony finger of righteous indignation at others on J Block. After sending his first note of complaint, after his first night in prison, Koberger follows it up a few days later with another. note, this one given to a guard and claiming he is the victim of sexual harassment. In the note, Coburger claims one inmate is threatening to rape him, while another

inmate says the only blank we'll be eating is Coburgers. Coburger offers up the name of a guard, he says, heard the threats and harassment, so his claims can be verified. An incident notification report is filed by the guard who received the second. Koberger note, and the guard named by Koberger is then questioned about the claims made by the admitted quadruple murderer. In a report filed three days later, the guard says he recalls vulgar language being used and directed towards Koberger, but he doesn't know which inmates made the threats. In his note, Koberger tells Deputy Warden that he wants to be transferred

to B-block immediately. Immediately. Koberger also wants to speak to the deputy warden soon. In response, Koberger is told Jay Bach is generally a fairly calm and quieter tear and the flooding is a relatively rare occurrence. He isn't given his transfer and he is told to quote, just give it some time. More crime and justice news next. The man accused of killing four members of a family and then abandoning an infant in West Tennessee last month told a Nashville television station that he is innocent and had no reason to kill the victims. Austin Drummond is 28 years old. He told WTVFTV that he had been working as a confidential informant. He says he was told his cover was blown and when Adrianna Williams, James Matthew Wilson, Courtney Rose,

and Braden Williams were murdered, he ran. He allegedly admitted that was the wrong thing to do, but he told the station he was scared. Drummond was captured in Jackson, Tennessee, about 75 miles from where the murder actually took place after a week-long manhunt. Several people were arrested and charged with assisting the fugitive while he was on the run. The four family members, the Williams' children of Rose and Wilson, Adriana Williams' boyfriend were found dead in Lake County on July 29th, just hours after Adrianna Williams and Wilson's infant daughter was found abandoned in Dyer County in a car seat on a stretch of road at the end of a driveway. Authorities named Drummond, who had been dating Rose's sister as the

suspect in the murders. Drummond told WTVF that prosecutors approached him in prison to help them with a crackdown on drug smuggling into jails and to assist in arresting deal. killer's, crooked cops, and gang leadership. He said he had joined the vice lord's gang during a previous prison term, but they found out he was an informant, and he didn't know because he was afraid that bad things had happened, so he was afraid. And he says, because I was an informant, things would go wrong.

Things would happen to me. He told the TV station he considers all the victims of the murderers of family, and while insisting on his innocence, says he's somehow directly involved in the murders. But he said he wasn't ready to answer questions about that, who killed the victims or how the baby came to be abandoned in Dyer County. Lay County District Attorney Danny Goodman told the TV station he was aware of the phone conversation with the suspect since all jail phone calls are recorded, even not comment on Drummond's statements, but said he had no doubt that Drummond was the killer and that there was a clear motive. In other crime news, a Massachusetts man

has now been charged with murder for allegedly stabbing his pregnant girlfriend to death, then burying her body in his grandma's yard. An incredibly grisly killing that she predicted in a chilling text to her sister the day before. Gregory Groom is 22 years old. He was arraigned in Taunton District Court on Wednesday just a day after the body of 18-year-old Kylie Montero was found buried behind his shed on the property where he lives with his grandparents. Montero was 11 weeks pregnant when she was last heard from on August 7th. The day she sent her sister, a text message claiming Groom had attacked her.

In a direct quote from the text, quote, He threw me on the ground, pulled my hair, and strangled me. My phone's at 4%. If I die, it was Greg. The next day, Groom himself called police to report his girlfriend missing and said she'd been at his house looking to stay, then left following an argument. She had been staying at a homeless shelter for pregnant women.

But when he fell under suspicion and police told him they were planning to search his grandparents' property, that's when Groom allegedly folded and owned up to everything. Prosecutors alleged Groom confessed to stabbing Montero with a kitchen knife and then dragging her body to the woods and burying her about five feet underground. Her body was ultimately found about 20 yards from where the fight allegedly occurred. Despite his alleged confession, Groom pleaded not guilty to the murder. murder.
