re: Idaho Murders Thread (Links inside)

Found this on internet. Floor plan for most part actually seems to match pics from zillow and those released in news including having 2 separate staircases (outside of not showing utility room/area & that the location of 2A bedroom door and bottom of rear stairs on 2nd level were not shown on zillow), but I don’t know about being accurate on where victims found and where girls who stayed safe lived which is where theories start to get added.

If it’s still accurate the guy was found on 2nd level with his girlfriend in her room it makes some sense that with 5 roommates the 1 BR on 2nd level farthest from bathroom might have been used for something else leaving 2 victims and 2 safe roommates on other 2 floors. I have at least read reports about the guy being found on 2nd floor, but I haven’t read anything else on where others found besides being attacked in their beds.

The arrow in second pic is pointing to where blood was seen flowing out from floor of house (from bedroom labeled 2B) which matches pictures already released.

Damn that’s a good schematic

That lines up with what I read today... thst the victims were on the 2nd and 3rd floors.

That funky split-level design of the house and the two survivors having their rooms on that lower most level probably explains why the killers didn’t think to check that level.

When I put myself into the mind of an intruder, I would think that level would be less likely to be bedroom space. (I’m thinking to myself “Oh, that’s the foyer, living room, or perhaps basement space of the house.”)

But that also would mean the killer(s) were not fully aware of all of the occupants of the house, which probably means no one was specifically targeted. Just a crime of opportunity.

Edit: There is also a road that runs behind the house, behind the hill, on the side with the patio door. If it was completely random, with no prior casing of the house, the killer(s) might not have fully understood the layout of the house. Might have been in and out of through the patio door without realizing they had missed a level below their feet.

All that to say, it is perhaps creepier to think the animal was completely random in his selection of targets.

Yeah. That design is usually duplex in function. The first floor is usually called the basement floor and separate from the other 2 floors.

You can definitely see the duplex function on neighboring houses, but I’m pretty sure the street view of this one on Google Earth only shows the one door coming off the parking area. If it a a duplex, the upper house’s door was that sliding door.

I know this street, grew up 1/2 mile from it and was in what i think is this house occasionally in the 80s based on the address i have seen online (1127 King Rd).

It has obviously been transformed into an apartment set up, but if my memory serves the survivors were in a full basement. You would walk into the front door and the normal two story house setup with living areas, kitchen and a bedroom/ study. Bedrooms upstairs and at the time a partially finished basement.

The photograph of the side a few posts up looks like the next house down the road to me, but the patio also doesn't match my memory- remember it being directly behind the house, not at a 45 degree angle.

The road behind the house is fairly steep and the whole backyard is basically private due to the grade. Would be little to no traffic on that road late at night.

Really crazy to me looking at how those houses have been remade from single family homes to student living.

Exactly who I thought of when some of the details were made public.

And no doubt it can happen. Hell, Israel Keyes was living in Alaska and killing people on the East coast; I’m simply saying it’s unlikely. But, then, I guess being the victim of a crime like this is pretty damn unlikely.

---

Keyes was exactly who I was thinking of. Low security systems someone from outside the area not exactly random but selected. no dogs, no alarm.

He would pre-position kill kits and then return later once he identified a target in that area

Murders were at 1122 King Rd.

There were 'other friends' in the residence when the 911 call was made, he said. … Investigators has previously disclosed that Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, the two other residents of the off-campus house, were at home on the night of the attack. Now, officials say there were in fact others in the home present when police were dispatched to the scene.

---

Could be they called friends over to the house because they were afraid to be there by themselves, even with police on the way over.

….However, even though I’m leaning on the side of the roommates being innocent, the details of the circumstances of their discovery of the bodies still seem weird.

I think they are probably innocent as well, but waiting until friends arrive to call police and then just saying someone was unconscious are very strange. Maybe they did drugs the night before and were still tripping or stoned.

The cops should have gotten more experienced help sooner regardless, but the roommates weird actions may caused them to focus on them or friends early thinking they would just break & confess and have to play catch up. Trash bins not looked at until Tuesday and possibly mixed in garbage truck, and nearby tire track just examined a couple of days ago on top of some of their early statements make it obvious it was too big for them.


Family made a pretty strong positive statement about the ex. I guess too many people speculating about the calls. Also parents believing they would still end up marrying explains why she was drunk calling him.

The couple said investigators are 'wasting their time' looking into Jack DeCoeur, 26, their daughter's ex-boyfriend.

'Jack is just as distraught as we are. Jack is our family. Jacks is 1,000 percent, 2,000 percent our family, and Jack is with us,' Kristi told the host. 'We stand behind him 100 percent.'

It was revealed that Kaylee, 21, and Maddie Mogen, 21, called Jack at least seven times shortly before their deaths in the very early hours of the morning last Sunday.

… Kristi told Jones that she believes her daughter and Jack 'would have eventually been married.'

'They would have eventually had children,' she said, explaining that the pair had dated for years and were on track to reconcile after spending some time apart.
