Murder In Moscow:  The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 2)

Murder In Moscow: The IGG Closed Hearing Transcripts (Part 2)

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 Queen Of England And Her Blind Spot For Prince Andrew (9/15/25)

Mega Edition: The Queen Of England And Her Blind Spot For Prince Andrew (9/15/25)

Queen Elizabeth II’s unwavering loyalty to Prince Andrew became one of the most glaring blind spots of her reign. Even as the Epstein scandal engulfed her son, forcing him out of royal duties and dragging the monarchy into global humiliation, she continued to shield him with public and private support. From quietly allowing him to keep privileges to reportedly helping fund legal settlements, her steadfastness toward Andrew stood in sharp contrast to the measured distance the palace often kept with other family controversies. For many observers, it was a sign of maternal instinct overriding political judgment — the Queen’s deep affection for her son blinding her to the damage his behavior inflicted on the Crown’s reputation.This loyalty, however, created friction within the family, especially with then-Prince Charles. Charles, ever mindful of the monarchy’s survival and public image, saw Andrew as a liability who needed to be sidelined swiftly and decisively. His push for a tougher line clashed with the Queen’s reluctance to cast her son adrift, causing a rift between mother and heir. The tension revealed an underlying difference in their approaches to the institution: the Queen led with loyalty to family, while Charles prioritized protecting the Crown at any cost. The fallout from Andrew’s disgrace exposed not only Andrew’s recklessness but also the strain it placed on the monarchy’s leadership during a critical moment of transition.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:  Sarah Kellen Vickers And Her Role As The Predators Assistant (9/15/25)

Mega Edition: Sarah Kellen Vickers And Her Role As The Predators Assistant (9/15/25)

Sarah Kellen Vickers has long been described as one of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s closest lieutenants, playing a role that survivors say went far beyond that of an assistant. Court testimony and depositions portray her as the gatekeeper at Epstein’s Palm Beach home — the person who scheduled appointments, ushered girls in and out, and kept meticulous records of who was coming and going. Several survivors alleged that she not only arranged their encounters but also prepared massage tables, handed out oils, and sometimes participated in abuse herself. This has led many to view her as a key facilitator in Epstein’s operation, someone who knew exactly what was happening and actively smoothed the process.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 Demise Of Jean Luc Brunel And The Questions In It's Aftermath (9/14/25)

Jean-Luc Brunel, the French modeling agent long accused of supplying underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein, was found dead in his cell at La Santé prison in Paris in February 2022. Authorities said he died by hanging, just days after Prince Andrew settled his civil case with Virginia Giuffre, one of Epstein’s most prominent accusers. Brunel’s death came while he was in pretrial detention facing charges of rape of minors and sexual harassment, and it immediately drew comparisons to Epstein’s own death in a U.S. jail in 2019.His death sparked outrage from survivors and advocates, who argued it robbed them of their day in court and raised further suspicions of powerful networks being protected. French prosecutors insisted there was no evidence of foul play, but the timing and circumstances fueled speculation. For many, Brunel’s death symbolized yet another missed opportunity for full accountability in the Epstein scandal, leaving questions unanswered and reinforcing a pattern of justice cut short just as legal proceedings closed in on key figures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The IGG (Genealogy) Order (Part 5)

The IGG (Genealogy) Order (Part 5)

Our dive into the court documents continues in this episode as we begin our look at the new IGG (genealogy) order to hit the docket.Genealogy is increasingly used in investigations, particularly in the realm of criminal and forensic work. Here's a comprehensive summary of how genealogy is applied in such contexts:Crime Solving: Genealogy is employed to solve cold cases, unidentified remains, and unsolved crimes by identifying potential suspects or victims. Investigators use genealogical research to establish familial connections and track down individuals who may be linked to a crime.DNA Testing: DNA extracted from crime scene evidence is compared to genetic databases, like GEDmatch or law enforcement databases, to find possible matches or relatives. This genetic genealogy technique is commonly used in cases involving sexual assault, homicides, and missing persons.Building Family Trees: Genealogists and investigators construct extensive family trees of potential suspects or victims. They use available records, like birth and marriage certificates, obituaries, and historical documents, to piece together family histories.Reverse Genealogy: Instead of tracing a person's ancestors, reverse genealogy is employed to identify living descendants and their connections to a person of interest. This technique is especially useful in identifying unknown victims.Privacy Concerns: The use of genealogy in investigations has raised privacy concerns. As DNA data and family histories are often collected without individuals' explicit consent, the ethical and legal implications of this practice are under scrutiny.Case Resolutions: Genealogical investigations have led to the resolution of numerous high-profile cases, including the identification and capture of serial killers and the closure of decades-old mysteries. Notable examples include the Golden State Killer case and the identification of the "Buckskin Girl."Collaboration: Law enforcement agencies often collaborate with genealogy companies and experts who specialize in forensic genealogy to harness their expertise and databases.Legislation and Regulation: The use of genealogy in investigations has prompted the creation of legislation and regulations to address privacy and data security issues. Various jurisdictions have implemented laws governing the use of genetic databases in criminal investigations.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:102523-Order-Addressing-IGG-DNA.pdf (amazonaws.com)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 (9/14/25)

A Trip Around The Jeffrey Epstein Related Headlines (9/14/25)

The first story focuses on Jeffrey Epstein’s notorious 50th birthday scrapbook, compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell, which has resurfaced as a source of fresh outrage and renewed scrutiny. The book is filled with messages from some of the most powerful and influential men in politics, finance, and entertainment, including one alleged note from Donald Trump laced with sexual innuendo. Among the disturbing details is also the image of a $22,500 check written in Trump’s name, raising new questions about the depth of Epstein’s financial and social ties. The scrapbook, far from being an innocent memento, reads like a who’s-who of elite figures who either tolerated or outright embraced Epstein even after his predatory behavior had been whispered about in elite circles.The second story zeroes in on Prince Andrew, who is once again under the microscope as reports suggest that more than 100 secret emails linked to Epstein could soon be released. These emails, reportedly involving Andrew, Maxwell, and Epstein, are being described as potentially devastating—enough to “destroy” what little remains of Andrew’s public reputation following his disastrous legal entanglements and ties to Epstein’s network. If the emails are made public, they may further expose not only Andrew’s role in Epstein’s world but also raise difficult questions about how much the monarchy knew, tolerated, or overlooked. The looming shadow of these unreleased communications has reignited fears inside Buckingham Palace of another scandal explosion that could eclipse past embarrassments.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
