Murder In Moscow:  The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 3)

Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 3)

On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.

Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.

Mega Edition:  The Contentious Legal Battle Between Prince Andrew And Virginia Roberts (10/4/25)

Mega Edition: The Contentious Legal Battle Between Prince Andrew And Virginia Roberts (10/4/25)

The legal battle between Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Prince Andrew quickly spiraled into one of the most contentious royal scandals in modern memory. From the outset, Andrew’s legal team fought aggressively to have the case dismissed, citing Giuffre’s prior settlement with Jeffrey Epstein as grounds to shield him from liability. Giuffre’s lawyers, however, pushed back just as forcefully, determined to keep the prince from evading accountability. The clash played out in the courts and the press, with each new filing drawing global headlines and deepening the damage to Andrew’s reputation.As the pressure mounted, the stakes for the monarchy itself became undeniable. Prince Charles, keenly aware of the danger the scandal posed to the royal family’s already fragile standing, was forced to intervene behind the scenes. Reports suggested that he personally assisted in securing the funds needed for the multimillion-pound settlement, effectively ensuring his brother could avoid a public trial. While the payment brought the case to a close, it also underscored the perception that the royals were circling the wagons to protect one of their own, further fueling criticism that accountability had once again been sidestepped through privilege and money.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Mega Edition: Alan Dershowitz, The Teleconference And The Plethora Of Epstein Denials (10/3/25)

Alan Dershowitz has repeatedly and vehemently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Jeffrey Epstein, insisting that he never engaged in sexual misconduct with Virginia Giuffre or any other woman tied to Epstein’s trafficking network. He has publicly stated that he never met Giuffre, called her accusations “a complete fabrication,” and pointed to travel records, phone logs, and witness statements as proof of his innocence. Dershowitz has long maintained that he only represented Epstein in legal matters and that any personal contact was limited to professional obligations, not illicit behavior.Beyond denying the specific allegations, Dershowitz has framed himself as a victim of false accusations, portraying the claims against him as part of a broader smear campaign. He has launched defamation lawsuits against Giuffre and her legal team, seeking to clear his name, and has gone on the offensive in media appearances, daring accusers to provide evidence and branding them as liars. Despite the consistency of his denials, his close association with Epstein has kept him under a cloud of suspicion in the public eye, with critics arguing that his combative defense has done little to erase the stain of his proximity to one of history’s most notorious predators.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Mega Edition: The Great Basin Serial Killer (10/3/25)

Amy Wroe Bechtel disappeared on July 24, 1997, in the small town of Lander, Wyoming. A 24-year-old newlywed and avid runner, Amy set out for a jog on a rural loop in the Wind River Mountains and never returned. Her car was found abandoned at a turnout along the road, and her keys, wallet, and other personal belongings were left inside. The search that followed was massive—hundreds of volunteers, search dogs, helicopters, and divers scoured the rugged terrain—but no trace of Amy was ever found. Her disappearance shook the close-knit community and quickly drew national attention.Suspicion soon fell on her husband, Steve Bechtel, a climbing enthusiast, after investigators discovered a troubling journal entry where he had written about violence toward women. Though he denied involvement and has never been charged, the cloud of suspicion has followed him for decades. Other theories emerged, including the possibility that Amy was abducted by a stranger or fell victim to serial killer Dale Wayne Eaton, who was active in Wyoming at the time. Yet none of these leads ever produced answers. Nearly three decades later, Amy’s case remains unsolved, a haunting mystery that continues to weigh heavily on her family and on the town of Lander.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comTonya Teske, a 16-year-old from Billings, Montana, vanished on October 11, 2001, after telling her parents she was going for a walk. She never returned home. Within days, her body was discovered in a wooded area on the outskirts of town, sparking an outpouring of grief and fear across the community. Investigators determined that Tonya had been strangled, and the brutality of the crime shocked her classmates and neighbors. For a time, her murder looked like it might be quickly solved, as authorities pursued leads and interviewed those closest to her.But the case soon grew cold. Despite various theories and investigative efforts, no one has ever been charged with her killing. Over the years, her name has surfaced in discussions about unsolved crimes in Montana, with some speculating whether a serial predator could have been involved. Others point to missed opportunities in the early investigation that might have left crucial evidence unexplored. Today, more than two decades later, Tonya’s murder remains officially unsolved, an open wound for her family and a reminder of the fragility of justice in cases where answers never come.“Lil Miss Murder” refers to the long-unsolved killing of Lisa Marie Kimmell, an 18-year-old from Billings, Montana, who vanished in March 1988 while driving to visit her boyfriend in Wyoming. Nicknamed “Lil Miss” because of her personalized black Honda CRX license plate, Lisa was last seen in Casper, Wyoming, after a routine traffic stop. A week later, her body was discovered in the North Platte River near Casper; she had been brutally assaulted and murdered. For years, the case baffled investigators and haunted both her family and the wider region, as no suspect was ever firmly identified despite widespread coverage and multiple leads.The mystery stretched on for over a decade until advances in DNA testing finally provided a break. In 2002, authorities connected evidence from Lisa’s case to Dale Wayne Eaton, a drifter with a violent history, who was later convicted and sentenced to death for her murder. Eaton’s property even revealed a buried vehicle that some believed to be Lisa’s missing car. Though his death sentence was overturned in 2014 due to procedural issues, Eaton remains in prison, and many believe he may have been responsible for other disappearances in the region. Lisa’s case became one of the most notorious in Wyoming history, a chilling reminder of how long justice can be delayed, and why her haunting nickname—“Lil Miss Murder”—still echoes decades later.bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Judge Hippler Denies Bryan Kohberger's Request For A Continuance (Part 2)

In the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger, the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District issued a redacted memorandum decision and order regarding the defense’s motion to continue the trial. Kohberger’s legal team filed a motion requesting a delay in the trial schedule, citing the need for additional time to review discovery, conduct investigations, and adequately prepare a defense in a case of significant complexity and public scrutiny. The defense argued that proceeding without a continuance would compromise Kohberger’s right to a fair trial, particularly given the volume of evidence and expert materials involved.The court, in its memorandum, acknowledged the high-profile nature of the case and the seriousness of the charges, but ultimately denied the defense’s request to delay the trial. The judge emphasized the court’s responsibility to balance the defendant’s rights with the public’s interest in a speedy trial and judicial efficiency. While recognizing the burdens faced by defense counsel, the court concluded that the current schedule provided adequate time for preparation and noted that prior delays had already accommodated many of the defense’s logistical concerns. As a result, the trial is expected to proceed on its current timeline, barring any unforeseen developments.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:062625+REDACTED+Memorandum+Decision+and+Order+on+Defendants+Motion+to+Continue.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Media Coalition Requests That The Gag Order Be Lifted Before Kohberger's Sentencing

The Media Coalition Requests That The Gag Order Be Lifted Before Kohberger's Sentencing

In Case No. CR01-24-31665, a coalition of major news organizations—including ABC News, CNN, CBS News, the Associated Press, Fox News, and others—have filed a memorandum seeking to be heard as interested parties in the criminal proceedings against Bryan C. Kohberger, the defendant charged in connection with the Idaho student murders. The media companies are requesting that the court vacate the existing nondissemination (gag) order, arguing that it violates constitutional protections under the First Amendment and impedes the public's right to access court proceedings and related information. They assert that the order is overly broad, lacks sufficient justification, and unjustifiably restricts press freedom and transparency in a case of significant public interest.The media coalition contends that the gag order infringes upon their ability to report on the case and gather news, including statements from attorneys, law enforcement, and other official sources. They argue that the public has a compelling interest in understanding the judicial process, particularly in a high-profile case involving allegations of multiple homicides. The memorandum emphasizes that any restrictions on speech must be narrowly tailored and based on specific findings, which the current order allegedly lacks. As such, the organizations urge the court to lift the nondissemination order entirely or, at a minimum, modify it to comply with constitutional standards.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - Media Coalition_Kohberger Sealed Records - Ada County - Memo ISO Motion to Vacate Gag Order_July 3(129532455.3)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

A Trip Around The  Jeffrey Epstein Related Headlines  (10/3/25)

A Trip Around The Jeffrey Epstein Related Headlines (10/3/25)

October 3, 2025, turned into another reminder that Jeffrey Epstein’s ghost still looms large over politics, culture, and public life. On the National Mall, a guerrilla statue of Donald Trump and Epstein holding hands was reinstalled, sparking outrage, laughter, and confusion from passersby while reigniting conversations about Epstein’s ties to the powerful. Across the Atlantic, Hartlepool Council voted unanimously to strip Lord Peter Mandelson of his “Freedom of the Borough” honor, citing his associations with Epstein as incompatible with the town’s values—a stinging rebuke for the former Labour heavyweight in his old political stronghold. Both stories underscored the theme that proximity to Epstein remains a toxic liability, even years after his death.Meanwhile, in Washington, Rep. Jimmy Gomez added a dose of satirical flair with a parody movie poster titled “Forgetting Jeffrey Epstein,” a direct jab at Trump that spread rapidly across social media. Critics dismissed it as childish, while supporters praised it as a cultural weapon that keeps the scandal in circulation. Taken together, the statue, the borough vote, and the meme illustrate how Epstein’s legacy refuses to fade, resurfacing in art, politics, and public ridicule. The powerful may beg for the world to “move on,” but cultural memory—and a heavy dose of sarcasm—keeps dragging Epstein’s shadow back into the spotlight.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
