Has anyone watched on Netflix? I hadn’t really seen much about it apart from the headlines at the time. I’m only half way through but I cannot wrap my head around the two other girls in the house waiting 8 HOURS to call anyone having heard screams and seen an intruder in a ski mask, and even then it was a friend, not the police. What on earth?!?

We didn't hear an explanation from him due to the plea deal. But the things he'd written demonstrated a hatred of women. I think he picked these women as they were beautiful and he wouldn't have been able to have them. Ethan I think got killed either because he could get a woman like them or he was just in the way

The police officially confirmed they found no online or physical connection between Bryan Kohberger and any of the victims or surviving housemates after he pleaded guilty last year, despite working 'tirelessly' to find any. No evidence he'd ever entered the house before the night of the murders either.

I personally think he was framed because of his 'odd' behaviour which is due to his Autism.

There were 5 cars parked outside the house that night. Xana was still up to get her food delivery which he would have seen.

He must have planned to murder whoever he was targeting so carefully to leave zero DNA (apart from the incriminating knife sheath right on one of 2 of the victims beds, which he would have known he'd dropped before he left the house) and took zero DNA from the very bloody murder scene, left no unusually large footprints in the snow but he went into a house he didn't know or how many people were in it, the dog who was in a bedroom with the door open didn't bark, and nobody heard 4 people being horrifically murdered in a dense residential area, including at least one fighting back.

It stinks. The police didn't have a single suspect for the very high profile, absolutely horrific murders of 4 young students in a college town with a terrified population for 3 weeks. They needed one.

He's also a vegan with an aversion to blood, just to make it more nuts.

There is considerable evidence tying BK to the 4 murders such as the amount of times he had visited the area prior to the murders , his car and mobile phone being picked up around the time of the murders and the knife cover however I do also believe the case has so many unanswered questions regarding timeline of the murders and evidence. Are you firmly in the camp of BK being innocent?

The Netflix documentary doesn’t really answer or give anything that we don’t already know but it’s a good watch for those unfamiliar with the case. It’s just a very tragic case for all involved.

@DefunctCode

Where did you here the dog wasn't barking? I thought there was some audio CCTV footage where it was specifically said it sounded like a dog barking. That is in the PCA and the only reference to the dog not barking are unconfirmed rumours.

Also, a podcast I listened to closer to the time had a fact finding episode about BK; he had a few mental health conditions, for a while was a drug addict, was overweight and suffered from a rare symptom called "visual snow". His own social media presence describes his strict dietary changes, cutting out all carbs and processed foods etc, as an effort to manage his conditions which he felt was successful. There's no information out there to infer that his veganism was from a moral stance.
