re: Idaho Murders Thread (Links inside)

What I’m having a hard time digesting is the remark that “she stood in frozen shock phase,” which would seem to indicate that she had heightened suspicion that Eyebrows, to some degree or another, posed a threat. “Frozen shock phase” is very much not a normal reaction one would think. Yet no type of action in response that one might expect for all that time.

that is the exact contradiction that befuddled me. You are frozen in fear but yet brush it off and wait 7-8 hrs. To call law enforcement.

Granted, there may be some connecting tissue there LE hasn't put out or was intentionally left out of the probable cause warrant... but when we're talking contradictions in human behavior that is a textbook example.

There’s some big factors at play here.

All it takes is one juror to dissent and he doesn’t get the death penalty, even if found guilty of murder.

Idaho has 8 people on death row dating back to 1983 that haven’t been killed yet.

Regardless of state law, Idaho has been flooded by California transplants over the last several years that could make their way onto the jury.

I’d put the odds at BK getting executed at 25% or less, especially anytime in the next decade.

Remember Baton Rouge serial killer Derik Todd Lee? A Zachary cop who worked weekends with me ID’d him to me, weeks before BR did. Then I had ti catch a plumbing call at one of the houses he killed someone. Creepy!

Wtf does this have to do with anything? I’m convinced you’re trolling

Just a long shot theory while people are spitballing-not a belief or a prediction ; What about the ( admittedly a long shot) idea that Law enforcement / criminal profilers saw that he was monitoring the Reddit thread and set up an account and put that resemblance pic and the evidence on there to shock and mindfrick him into some reaction. That’s some Netflix crime drama stuff right there, lol. Definitely not likely, but would make a great story.

Also now learning that visual snow creates disassociation and other medically recognized brain problems and behavior, it seem that his defense will likely include some kind of mental/medical defense that is plausible. That could be his strongest shot at avoiding the death penalty.

Also. frick this POS BCK killer MFer.

Edit- lol the 23 k posts kills that first bit of tv speculation.

Fair enough

I can't explain Dylan's actions as things were going down, but I have a theory as to how the events later in the morning unfolded.

If you look at the layout of the second floor, you'll see that Dylan's room is opposite of Xana's separated by the living room. This floor also shares a bathroom same as the others. Now assuming she is like the rest of us, one of the first things she's going to do upon waking up is head to the bathroom. That means she has to walk to the hallway leading to Xana's room because that is where it is located.

In the affidavit on page 1, Officer Brett Payne states the following.

quote:

---

OFC Smith directed me down the hallway to the west bedroom on the second floor, which I later learned (through Xana's driver's license and other personal belongings found in the room) was Xana Kernodle's, hereafter "Kernodle" room. Just before this room there was a bathroom door on the south wall of the hallway. As I approached the room, I could see a body, later identified as Kernodle's, laying on the floor.

---

With this in mind it is very likely that Dylan was on her way to the bathroom when she saw Xana's body on the floor (just as officers saw it as they approached the room) and she panicked believing her to be unconscious or she simply didn't want to believe what she had seen. She starts calling out, maybe screaming/ yelling to the other roommates (which would be normal) but only the girl downstairs responds. Now they are both panicked because they've seen Xana and no one else in the house is responding. I think this where they call friends because what they've seen has terrified them to the point that they didn't want to be in the house. It's not until friends arrive who aren't in full on panic mode and can think rationally that the cops are called.

Inside looking definitely sounded like it could of been him for real.

Not “could of”, you mean “could have” or “could’ve”.

I see this common grammatical error all the time. I just want to let you know.

it's been stated that the dylan and/or bethany called someone who brought a ladder to the house to be able to see into a window because they had no access to the rooms...that's when they made the 911 call reporting "an unconscious person" that they saw in one of the rooms...

Skip the DP and throw him in Genpop and that % will go up to 99.

It was first reported that it was left next to the couple. Has that info changed?

That was never reported, it was a rumor.

Are you another poster commenting in the thread without actually reading the affidavit?
