Hey, true crime besties.
Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialistly with me, your host
Annie Elise.
And we have got a lot to talk about today regarding the Idaho 4 case.
Now if you're brand new and you haven't checked out this podcast before let me
just break it down for you really quick but basically what I like to do over
here is talk with you guys about these true crime cases but do so in a less
clinical and sterile way and what I mean by that is I want it to be just like
we're having a conversation amongst friends, calling out the red flags, having a frank conversation and just really kind of having
the dialogue back and forth.
So even though I get it, you're not in the studio with me, the way I'm talking and the
way I'm looking at the camera might as well be here because I feel like I am just talking
to somebody who's sitting next to me.
So I don't know, hopefully it comes across that way when you're listening to it as well. But if I miss the mark, I guess don't tell me because it'll hurt my feelings.
No, but anyway, there has been so much happening in the Idaho case and new updates almost weekly now at this point as we're gearing up for the trial in August.
And although I just did an update on this case a little over a week ago, there's now, again,
more information.
And I think that that was kind of to be expected, right?
Because there have been so many different hearings going on.
We know that more information about the case itself is getting released, and we're learning
more about it started with the 911 call, but then about the text message history, the Snapchat,
the Amazon history.
I mean, we constantly are learning things. So I would guess that we probably will be having updates
like this weekly or bi-weekly
until the trial starts in August.
That's just my guess, because again,
more information just keeps coming out.
And the reason we have an update today
is because there was a hearing this last week
that was a very, very long hearing,
and there was a lot of new information given out in this hearing. I mean the defense and the state just
continues to really battle it out with one another and experts are now saying
that there is concrete evidence, digital proof, that shows that Brian Coburger
had zero connection to any of the victims and that's huge because what
everybody's been wondering for the last couple
of years at this point is who was the target? What was the motive? Did he meet them at the Mad
Greek restaurant or first notice them there? Did he follow one of them on Instagram? And they're
now going into great detail about that, all the way into Venmo receipts. So I'm going to talk to
you guys all about that. There's of course more information now too
about the Amazon histories
and if that's gonna be allowed into trial,
what words we are going to expect to hear or not hear,
certain terminology, and I'll discuss that as well.
So we have quite a bit to go over.
And I wanna know from you guys in the comments
where you currently stand with this case.
I feel like for the last couple of years, the majority of people out there, although
cloaked in innocence until proven guilty, I understand that, but I will say the
majority of people out there definitely thought, you know, Brian Koberger is the
guy, he's gonna be found guilty, it's him, it's him, it's him. While there have over
the last, I would call it what, eight to ten months,
been more people coming out saying, no no no, he's innocent, he's not only being framed, he's being
set up, there was a second person involved, which also in my last video you know we talked about
that where the defense brought up that there was a second person in question back then, or like a
person of interest I should say. So it seems
like now it's more divided than it ever really has been. A lot of people do
believe that Brian is innocent. I even saw a comment in one of my last videos
that they're dubbing themselves as Pro Burgers because his last name is
Coburger. But I'm curious where you sit and I've kept it real with you from the
beginning okay. I have thought in my gut that this is the guy,
that they got their guy,
and there is just too much coincidence and inconsistencies
and evidence that we have heard of to not be him,
to just be casually explained away.
But I also am like hearing some of the stuff
like what we'll be going over today to where I'm like,
you know, it's circumstantial at best whether or not this is the guy, do they
have enough to convict him?
And that's a really scary place to be.
Not, I mean, scary for Brian, scary for the victim's family, scary for everybody because
if not Brian or if not convicted, will these victims ever get justice?
And I'm going gonna stop talking now.
Let me just get into all of this new information
and break it down for you.
And like I said, let me know as we go
in the comments what you think.
So this week's court session in the Brian Coburger case
was not your typical hearing.
It was like an all day, just legal face-off.
I'm talking packed with jabs from the judge,
heated back and forth between the attorneys,
and really some important reveals about what might make it I'm talking packed with jabs from the judge, heated back and forth between the attorneys,
and really some important reveals about what might make it in front of a jury this summer
in August.
And I want to start with one of the defense's biggest asks in this, because they said they
do not want the state, or any witnesses for that matter, throwing around words like psychopath
or sociopath, which we know that those words have been used
a lot in the media to describe Brian Koberger or possibly describe him.
So the defense is saying there is no medical diagnosis to back those terms up or that kind
of label.
So calling him that or using that terminology during the trial, it would be wildly inappropriate.
There is no argument made for why which that would stand.
Yes, he could be called
a murderer because he has been charged with that, but sociopath and psychopath, those are medical
terms. That is what you are diagnosed with. So since he has not been diagnosed with that, they're
arguing he should not be called that or referred to that at all, which honestly they're not wrong.
Because words like that do hit different when they are said in court,
when they are said in a formal setting
where it's not casual like me being like,
oh my God, my ex-boyfriend,
he was such a sociopath or something like that.
But if you're in a court and if you hear the state
or a witness say, he's a sociopath, he did this, he did that,
I think there is a different level of heaviness
that is attached to the words.
And that's just my opinion.
And apparently, I guess not just my opinion, because the judge agreed and said, unless
there is expert proof, those terms are off the table.
At least correction, at least during the guilt phase.
So unless it's backed by expert evidence, which at this point, it just doesn't exist,
those terms cannot be said. The defense also asked to limit
the jury's exposure to some of the very brutal, very horrific crime scene photos, which, fair,
some of the images are reportedly horrific. We know that at the scene, it was reported that just
walking inside the door, you could smell the blood. It was just, you know, for lack of a better term, a full bloodbath in that house and that Zana had such defensive wounds that
a finger was almost hanging off of her. Like, we know that this was a truly
barbaric and haunting scene. But also here's the thing, okay? The nature of the
crime is horrific. It is. So you're going to have horrific crime scene photos.
That's just, unfortunately, the nature of the beast.
But they argued that these images would do more shock
than actual informing of the jury.
Now, the judge didn't make a blanket ruling
on that particular situation,
but the judge did acknowledge that some of these photos
are especially disturbing and said,
you know what, because we do think it's important
that some of the images are shown,
but we understand some of them are very, very graphic,
they're gonna be evaluated individually during the trial.
Now, my personal opinion is I wouldn't be shocked
if a lot of those images still make their way
into this trial because again,
the nature of the crime is horrific,
there's no way to get around that.
So it's not that they would be showing horrific autopsy
photos or things like that, maybe, but the crime scene
photos itself, it's important to understand what went on
in that King Road house, right?
Now here's something new that we heard a lot about
in this hearing, and they were battling back and forth
for quite some time.
We finally have details on a previously unreleased
traffic stop that involved Brian Coburger.
Now this traffic stop happened two miles from the crime scene
and it started just before school started
in August of 22 that year.
So the prosecution wants to use this traffic stop video
in the trial, which people are like,
why this was before the murders even took place?
But the reason they want to use this
is because it shows Brian in the area, at night, in the
car, just like they're alleging he was the night of the murders.
However, the defense says that it's more prejudicial than actually helpful, pointing
out that in this traffic stop footage, Brian is making these off-handed comments, you know,
talking about seat belts, questions about giving his phone number, kind of being like not resistant or abrasive with the cops, but kind of, to where if you're watching
that you could see, okay, this person's kind of coming off sketchy, like why are they so
resistant to the police?
So I get why they're worried.
I mean, anything that makes him look evasive, especially paired with the timeline, it's
risky for the defense's case.
And they say that they fear that it could all be twisted
into something way more sinister.
But think about it.
I mean, if you're in a trial and you're seated on the jury
and they're accusing somebody of a quadruple homicide,
and you see that they were stopped by in a traffic stop
a couple months before the murder,
and you're watching that body cam footage,
and this person's like,
well, why do you need my phone number?
Or giving kind of like some, talking, why do you need my phone number or
Giving kind of like talking back a little bit about their seatbelt or just kind of acting weird
I think any of us and maybe I get maybe just me but I feel like most people would watch them big
Why is he being so sketchy? Why is he like asking so many questions? Why is he so nervous?
Especially given that the stop was near the home, right? So
While I get both sides of
the argument, I think I get the defense. I get why they're worried and why they say, I think this
could be twisted and turned into something more sinister as far as like his behavioral issues,
his attitude, his entitlement possibly, whatever they say that it's going to be twisted into.
But I also understand the state wanting to bring it in
because I understand them wanting to be like,
look, he was near the house, this is him in the car,
this is him at night, almost so it's like you can visualize
what they're alleging he did that night as well, right?
So ultimately the judge hasn't ruled on it,
so stay tuned, but that was a big point of contention.
And now I wanna talk about the eyebrows,
the bushy eyebrows.
Because as we know, one of the surviving roommates' description of the man that she saw in the
house those early morning hours included the exact words bushy eyebrows, which prosecutors
are linking to that selfie that Brian Coburger took six hours after the murders.
The one where he's in the bathroom taking it and they're trying to enter that selfie
into evidence being like, look, here are the bushy eyebrows. Here's what she described. six hours after the murders. The one where he's in the bathroom taking it and they're trying to enter that selfie
into evidence being like,
look, here are the bushy eyebrows.
Here's what she described.
However, the defense is now questioning
if Dylan is even reliable,
citing she was really heavily drinking that day.
She started with morning mimosas.
She moved on to white claws.
She then moved on to this homemade Borg,
which I honestly am too old to know what that is.
I had to research it, but it kind of sounds like it's like a rum jungle, like vodka punch, where
you just like pour a bunch of things into it. And like, I don't know what you call it,
dealer's choice, something like that. But basically citing like, look, she had been
drinking all day, also into the night. Here's all the things that she had been drinking.
Clearly she doesn't know what she saw. She was wasted. She could have seen anything.
Like, they're trying to just put her reliability into question here.
They also say that she never even brought up the eyebrows on her own. That the police did.
So really, they're questioning whether she actually even recalled those details herself ever,
or if the investigators fed her that information.
Which, if they fed her that information, that's a big problem.
And I have seen from after my last video, I've seen some different takes out there and different
accounts for this, where Dylan apparently drew the sketch of the guy before police said
anything about the balaclava mask that he was wearing, so that that happened before
they told her anything about a mask.
I don't know what the exact timeline was of when she first mentioned bushy eyebrows and then it,
you know, took flight, but the defense is saying like, look, not only was she drunk,
but we also think that the detectives spoon fed her this information about bushy eyebrows,
which I don't know why they would do that because how would they even know what kind of guy they
were looking for at the time? I don't know. But anyway, the defense is arguing it. However, prosecutors are firing back saying,
no, no, no, no, no, Dylan gave the description of him multiple times, even before Brian Coburger was ever even arrested.
So personally, I think that it might be a toss-up.
I mean, jurors might empathize with a scared, drunk college girl,
college student, but I think they also might equally doubt the clarity of her memory, recalling
maybe their own time when they used to party. That sometimes, you know, not only is your vision
impaired, but your memory is impaired. I think it could go either way. There's been no decision yet,
but it's clear that both sides are definitely gearing up for a battle over Dylan's credibility. Then there's also
the topic of Brian Koberger's autism that has been brought up, and we've talked
about this a little bit before, I think a little bit in our last video. His
defense team wants to ensure that it cannot be used against him if the trial
reaches the sentencing phase. They say that they're worried that the prosecution
is gonna use his social awkwardness as some kind of ammo, saying they're worried that the prosecution is going to use his social awkwardness as
some kind of ammo, saying they're worried that the state could twist his social behaviors
such as awkward eye contact or how he stands in rooms or something like that and twist
that into something more menacing or even sinister, almost like, well, you see how he's
acting, you see how he's behaving, you see how he's fidgeting, or how he won't make eye contact, when really that's a direct reflection of the autism is what they're saying.
Which I honestly think that they do have a point in this. Nobody's social awkwardness or social
behaviors that are out of their control should be used against them. Not unless it directly ties to
a crime or something that they did. Which, I also gotta say,
if the prosecution is planning to use somebody's autism against them, not as reasoning for
something they've done or haven't done, but rather using their behaviors as a factor in it,
that's kind of gross to me. And I don't know that the prosecution would do that, but I guess the
defense is trying to get ahead of it. And when the defense brought this up, the prosecution did flat out say they have no
intention of using autism as an aggravating factor.
And frankly, when they said that, they also said they have quote, this is a direct quote,
much better arguments for the death penalty if it does get that far.
Specifically, they said they have even more aggravating factors, which I think that that
shows how confident they are in their case.
I really do because if they're like, we're not even bringing that up, you have no
need to worry, we have way more evidence, way more aggravating factors if it gets
to the death penalty phase, like that to me shows they're not even concerned at
all and that the autism diagnosis and his behaviors with that aren't, it's not
even on their radar of bringing it in, but I guess we'll see.
Now, in a more personal turn in this hearing, Brian Koberger's lawyers asked the court to let his
family attend the trial. And I gotta say, this was one of the more emotional moments of this hearing
because the prosecution has included some of his relatives on their witness list. And like any trial,
if a relative, a friend, whomever it is, is on a witness list, that like any trial, if a relative, a friend,
whomever it is, is on a witness list, that means that they would be barred from
sitting in the trial until after they testify because they don't want anything
to taint their testimony. If they see something or hear something from another
testimony ahead of theirs, like you basically are removed until you testify,
then you can sit in on the balance just to keep it pure and keep it clean.
But the defense is calling it out saying they feel like listing all of these relatives as a witness is actually just a tactic, a strategic move to isolate Brian Coburger even further.
That they don't need these relatives or people listed as witnesses, that they're doing this
intentionally because they don't want Brian to have any sort of support
in the courtroom.
And the defense even emphasized that,
yeah, his parents have shown unwavering support,
but they also can't afford to fly back and forth
from the East Coast, even though they do wanna be there.
They do wanna support him.
So they're saying like, look,
they just wanna be there for their son.
And the judge is actually siding with the defense here,
telling prosecutors,
you know, you need to adjust the order of your witnesses so that you can allow the family to be
present for more of the trial. And by that he means, okay, if these witnesses were set to go last,
say, then obviously they wouldn't be able to sit through the majority of the duration of the trial.
So the judge is saying reshuffle it up, bring them in first, so then they can be there for the
balance of the trial. But a lot of people are torn on this.
A lot of people are saying like,
no, he doesn't need to have the support in the courtroom.
He's an alleged quadruple murderer.
But then other people are saying, no, it doesn't matter
until you have been found guilty of something
you absolutely deserve support in the courtroom
of your family, your friends, whoever wants to go.
So I don't know, where do you sit on that?
Now we also know that one of the most talked about
pieces of evidence in this case
has been at Brian Koberger's Amazon activity.
And we are getting a little bit more information about this
because prosecutors are saying that Brian used a gift card
that was bought with his own debit card
to purchase the K-Bar knife.
And that that purchase was made months before the murders.
So just to track that one more time, that'd be like me right now using my debit card to buy a
Visa gift card, then to use that Visa gift card on Amazon to buy something. But it all traces back
to Brian. However, the defense is pushing back on this saying, you know, clicks on a website do not
prove intent to buy. Algorithms can always suggest or even auto-load items into somebody's shopping cart online,
which, that's true. I mean, happens to me all the time.
Every time I go on Amazon, it's like, here's what you looked at last, or here's suggested items for you.
Sometimes on other platforms, it actually will add things to your cart too.
So I get where that argument might hold a little bit of water,
but the prosecution says, no, we're not guessing here. We have records. We have timestamps. We have linked accounts. We
have devices. It's all there. A digital paper trail. It's not guesswork. And honestly, it's not
just about what he bought. It's about when he bought it, how he bought it, and how everything
else just starts to connect with it. Why are you buying something with a gift card that you bought
with a debit card unless you bought with a debit card
unless you're trying to hide it, things like that.
And the state plans to walk the jury through all of this,
the entire digital trail they say they have.
Now during this hearing, we also circled back to Brian Coburger's claimed alibi.
As you may remember, Brian's team says that he was just driving around alone,
stargazing, something that he allegedly did often to quote,
look at the stars. Totally normal, right? Said no one ever who has tried to prove an alibi in court,
but I get it, you need some sort of alibi, so why not throw stargazing into the mix,
across state lines, in the middle of the night? Sure, and that's just my personal opinion.
So the alibi comes up again.
And his team is now introducing a cell phone expert who's trying to back up that claim.
The expert says that they can confirm some movement, but that the phone was off during
the murders.
So since his phone was allegedly off at the time of the murders, it still is a little
bit shaky.
But they're saying we can confirm some movement.
That's when he was out there stargazing
and driving around.
But we can't confirm his whole alibi
because then his phone turned off,
which the prosecution of course is saying,
well yeah, his phone turned off
because he went and committed a quadruple murder.
Now because of this whole like phone expert coming in
and the alibi and it being kind of a partial alibi,
that's actually exactly what the prosecution is calling it,
a partial alibi, which Idaho law doesn't apparently recognize.
Under Idaho law, an alibi needs to be more than a vague statement and partial cooperation.
And as of now, Brian doesn't have a solid witness to vouch for his whereabouts that
night.
Not at all.
So unless he himself testifies, that alibi might not even go anywhere.
And speaking of, I don't know if Brian's gonna testify.
I'm curious to know what you guys think.
My gut?
I don't know.
My gut tells me no, but the more I think about it, maybe.
Maybe.
I don't know.
Now to make things even messier, which I don't even know if that's possible because this
hearing was already so much back and forth, just watching everybody argue with each other.
But the defense started accusing prosecutors of hiding key cell data.
Now the judge called them out on this almost immediately, warning them, you know, you can't
just throw around these kind of accusations without having solid, concrete proof.
Doing that is not going to fly in this courtroom.
So like figure it out, get your evidence, or you know zip it. He basically said don't make serious
accusations unless you can prove them. And frankly he looked pretty annoyed
that this even had to be addressed. Just my take, but definitely did. So finally we
have to talk about one more thing in this hearing and it's the question that
still haunts the case and honestly it's the question that's on all of our minds, right? What was the motive
here? Is there any known connection between Brian Koberger and the victims,
any of the victims? Why did he do this? What would have made him do this? Now
his defense team has long said no. First of all, he didn't do this but he had no
connection to the victims. He had no motive in this, there was no reason. And so far, experts have combed through phones, computers, financial records, social media
accounts, and nothing has turned up.
No link, no contact, no relationship, zero.
And even the judge confirmed that after digging through phones, computers, financials, social
media, there's nothing.
No known link. Not a DM, not a Venmo, not a class together. Nothing. And that is huge,
because without a motive, you have to rely entirely on circumstantial evidence. Also,
maybe a little bit on behavior and interpretation, but circumstantial evidence.
That could truly go either way in front of a jury.
I mean, yes, you do still have the DNA
that was left behind on the sheath button,
but all of the other evidence that people are talking about
aside from that one tiny speck of DNA is circumstantial.
And remember, I cited this at the beginning of the episode,
but there were those rumors in the beginning
about Brian following Maddie on Instagram
or maybe being in her DMs or trying to hang out.
There were rumors that he saw,
I think it was Maddie and Zana at the Mad Greek restaurant
because it was a vegan restaurant
and that he frequented and like became fixated
or obsessed with her.
But they're saying now that there is no known link,
that they have scraped everything
and have not found any sort of connection.
Now, I do want to say this,
and for those of you who are following the case,
please correct me and school me in the comments,
but I do vaguely remember Kaylee's father, Steve Gonzalez,
saying something like there was a connection,
or there was like a quote about Brian saying,
you know, he didn't need to go upstairs,
almost like who he was looking for was downstairs or maybe it was the opposite. Maybe it was he didn't need to go downstairs
I can't remember exactly. Um, I don't remember the details off the top of my head. Let me know if you do again
It's just a vague memory
But I do recall there being something said early on maybe like a year and a half ago or a year ago where there was
early on, maybe like a year and a half ago or a year ago, where there was something said about there being a target. And it's been my long suspected belief that there was a target. I
believe Maddie was the target, which perhaps I'm wrong and, you know, proved me wrong with the
digital evidence, you know. We're going to find out during trial, obviously. But that kind of just
raises a bunch more questions, right? If there was no target,
if there was no connection, would he have really just picked a random house and a random victim?
If he was casing the house, as the state is suggesting he was, remember all of the cell
phone pings in the months leading up to the murder, you know, a couple dozen times or whatever,
if he was casing the house, wouldn't he know it was a party house and that multiple people were coming and going
and staying to where if he was going to just pick a random house and a random target to
like get a thrill kill, why would he pick that house when there's such a risk of multiple
people being in there?
Was he watching them?
Was he preying on them?
Did he never have any known connection but he had seen them somewhere and then like it's hard to get the digital footprint andying on them? Did he never have any known connection, but he had seen them somewhere?
And then like, it's hard to get the digital footprint
and he followed them?
I don't know, but that worries me a little bit.
I mean, not in the sense if he's innocent,
but like, which again, personally, I don't think he is,
but if they get Dylan's identification thrown out
or the jury doesn't believe it
because they're citing how wasted she was,
if he says he has an alibi, even though it's like a bullshit alibi in my opinion, stargazing,
but then if they say there's no connection to these victims, there's no reason he would
want to kill them, he didn't do this, we have no murder weapon, there was no blood found
at his apartment, there was no personal identification of anybody that he kept as like a trophy. There's no connection. There's nothing like,
can you really on a jury convict somebody without any reasonable doubt?
I don't know.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Now again, what they said was no known connection.
So that doesn't necessarily take
that there was a connection off the table
and that they just don't know about it yet,
or that maybe there wasn't a digital footprint
to back it up but I don't know it's getting interesting it's getting very
interesting especially if you watch my last update where we talked about the
seven minutes that the defense is claiming changes everything in this case
so this case is only getting more intense the closer we get to trial and if this hearing is any indication
We are in for months of new information new twists and more questions if I'm being honest
So like I said, I'm gonna keep you guys updated as these updates happen seems like weekly
so if you're not subscribed subscribe now so that you don't miss any of those updates and
We'll see where this goes. What do you guys think?
Do you sit in the camp of thinking Brian Coburg is the guy,
they got their guy, he's guilty?
Do you sit in what they're calling themselves
the pro-burgers thinking he's innocent
or that he's been framed
and that there's somebody else involved?
Or do you now kind of sit in this other bucket of,
I think Brian's the guy,
but I'm worried about the evidence and I'm
worried about a rock-solid conviction. The state feels very, very confident and
again, we don't know all of the information they have because of the
gag order that had been put in place. We're just now getting bits and pieces
of it, but they seem to be very confident and rock-solid in this. But there are
certain things that give me a little pause. But
then again I say that and I think back to okay if they can prove the phone pings,
if they can prove the purchase history, all these things that are too
coincidental to be explained away any other way or be explained as a
coincidence, like there is a lot of strength in that case. I don't know. I
don't know. I still believe in my heart of hearts. He's the guy.
But I also am at a point now too where I'm like, you know what? Let's sit back. Let's hear all the evidence.
Let's see what's going on. Like will we be proven wrong or will there not be enough evidence? I don't know.
Thank you guys so much for tuning in to another episode of Serialistly with me.
