They may release some things. But it looks like they don’t even know answers. Biggest theory was Maddie or Kaylee blew him off at the restaurant or maybe online. But apparently they couldn’t find any links to them having met. So that kinda throws this into the even more bizarre world.

My guess is he saw them out or something and one of them caught his eye. Thats the exact way Bundy ended up in the Chi O house that night. He was at the bar and saw one he liked and followed her home.

Do you think anything else will ever surface pertaining to these murders or will this be it since he’s already sentenced?


I think this is it unless he somehow gets a tv or book deal. Only other way would be if he spills the beans to someone while locked up and they let it out.

thought it was common practice that in order for a guilty plea to be accepted, they had to confess, in detail, their crime...?

Only if it’s a part of the plea deal. Never happens otherwise.

but are defendants like Kohberger required to attend sentencing?

Yes they have to appear for sentencing. But this wasn’t a “real” sentencing hearing—the sentence was already established by the plea deal. This was a victim impact statement and then a rubber stamping of the plea. The defendant would often speak if the sentence was actually in play. It wasn’t here.

I would like to know what led up to the first time he drove by that house. They said he drove by it what, 20 or 30+ times the months leading up to the murders? So what led him to drive by that house the first time?

You’d have to find an attorney willing to take it. You could if you’re willing to pay unless you have a pro bono attorney taking it out of kindness or for notoriety, could be difficult. Possible future earnings on a book etc… probably goes to restitution to the state first.

Investigators found no link between Kohberger and the victims


So the Instagram stalking thing was just a rumor then?

She was extraordinary. Her delivery was exceptional especially under the circumstances. They should run her statement in his cell over and over again.

That kind of legal work is typically done on contingency.

Restitution goes to the victims, not the state (after court costs are paid).

I think you nailed it with your guess. That seems the most probable imo. I think the theory is incorrect based upon the fact that girls tell other girls everything. If a notable incident occurred at the restaurant or online, I have to believe Dylan, Bethany, and others would’ve known about it. Plus, like you said, investigators never discovered a link.

Another question. How do you think he knew that sliding glass door would be unlocked? He made a beeline to that door from his parked car behind their house and didn’t tamper with any other doors or windows.

I’m aware of that, but right now, he’s judgment proof. What attorney is going to take it on the possibility of him having future earnings? It’s not going to be a cheap case to pursue.

Your initial response did not indicate that, since you were talking about "pro bono" or "willing to pay" for an attorney.

Anyone with a long eye might take it. Idaho has no Son of Sam law.

There's no real cost of taking it on from the plaintiff's attorney's standpoint. It's a couple hundred bucks a year out of pocket to file the lawsuit and drag it out with discovery motions for as long as it takes. It's not gonna be a high-effort case throughout.

I’d love to know if that’s the first time he stepped foot in that house

So true. I truly believe he’s convinced himself that he has all the power by withholding what he knows.

Has there ever been another murder in history where the killer is apprehended and sentenced, but we still have so many unanswered questions?

I don’t think there needed to be some big incident or interaction online. He just needed to feel blown off. Outside of his actions that people have said were overly creepy which they would have told the other roommates about and also maybe a family member I doubt he would have made an impact in their minds. They made an impact in his sick mind.

They might have had a brief interaction somewhere that meant everything to him and nothing to them. Their social media was likely public giving him a lot of info about their lives without actually interacting with them including things about the house and where everyone enters. A lot about the house was still posted online from its previous listing.

It still wouldn’t surprise me if he did go once into house during a big party, but I am not sure how he didn’t end up in the background of somebody’s pictures. Might have gone while all were at a game or some event and with so many people coming and going no one around thought anything of it.

I still think Maddie was target as he seems to have gone straight to her room. I am not sure he could have opened door to Kaylee’s room and checked without dog running loose, but I am not sure what came out about the dog being loose or not before the cops saying they locked the dog in the room to keep him away from crime scene. Kaylee wasn’t even supposed to be there that night and was in process of moving out and had a new car (which all could have been posted to social media making her making decision that day to drive there with new car not relevant).

I think Kaylee got the worst of it because she woke up and challenged him. Maybe because she was there and he wanted to do Maddie alone as some sick form of intimacy. Her being there and that extra rage and time is why he left the sheath.

One theory said Maddie looked like someone who blew him off in high school. That person may just be pushing for her 15 minutes of fame, and a reporter took it too seriously.

A ton of info was released a few hours ago, I haven’t found the actual documents but this TikTok (and others) are kind of reading them word for word

LINK

Xana was stabbed 50+ times, Ethan had his throat slashed, Kaylee was unrecognizable, etc

Also read an article about the girls noticing a man standing in the tree line staring at their house at night on multiple occasions, telling others they were a little worried about a stalker, coming home to the front door being open, etc etc

50 times sounds personal. And what happened to Kaylee with 30 stab wounds and her face so messed up also sounds personal. Just thing about the rage this loser had in him stabbing someone FIFTY times while fighting her off. Just try to do it without anything in your hand. It’s hard.
