In the initial hours after Bryan Kohberger's arrest, there was a frantic dash to try to find out as much information about him as possible. During that dash, those of us who were following along were able to get a glimpse of an instagram account that allegedly belonged to Bryan Kohberger. That same account was also following and interacting with Madison's account. A few hours later and that account was purged.In this episode, we hear from the Goncalves family who also saw that account and not only saw it, but they took screenshots as well. With many questions surrounding the motive in this case and the connection between the victims and the alleged murderer still in the air, could this be the glue that binds Bryan Kohberger? Let's dive in and give it a look.

Congressional pressure to ensure the integrity of the government’s compiled Jeffrey Epstein files has grown alongside efforts to release those records publicly. Survivors of Epstein’s sex-trafficking crimes and several Democratic lawmakers have formally asked the Justice Department’s inspector general to audit the chain of custody for the Epstein case files, seeking to confirm that none of the records have been tampered with, altered, or withheld before they are disclosed to the public. Advocates including survivors have specifically raised concerns that materials might have been “scrubbed, softened, or quietly removed” prior to their scheduled release, heightening demands for a third-party review to protect transparency and trust in the process.The push comes as part of broader congressional and judicial developments around the release of Epstein-related documents. Recently passed legislation — the Epstein Files Transparency Act — is compelling the Department of Justice to make unclassified grand jury records and investigative materials publicly accessible by mid-December, and federal judges have begun ordering the unsealing of transcripts from both Epstein’s 2019 case and related investigations, including those involving Ghislaine Maxwell. These moves reflect bipartisan political focus on exposing the full scope of Epstein’s operations and addressing past secrecy, while also fueling debates in Congress and the public about ensuring that the files released are complete, authentic, and untouched.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein survivors and Senate Democrats ask for audit to determine if Epstein files have been "tampered with" - CBS NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Judge  Berman’s decision to unseal the Epstein grand jury documents represents one of the most forceful judicial pushes for transparency in a case that has been defined by secrecy, institutional hesitancy, and years of bureaucratic dodgeball. In his ruling, Berman made clear that the new federal Epstein transparency law leaves no ambiguity: Congress intended these records to be opened, and the courts are obligated to follow that mandate. He dismissed the government’s familiar attempts to stall—claims of “ongoing investigations,” potential harm, or procedural barriers—pointing out that federal authorities had ample time to act and repeatedly failed. His message carried an unmistakable edge: protecting the system’s reputation is not a valid reason to keep the public in the dark.At the same time, Berman cautioned against expecting some blockbuster revelation hidden inside the files. He suggested that the documents will likely confirm what is already obvious—that Epstein benefited from prosecutorial deference, behind-the-scenes dealmaking, and a pattern of decisions that favored a wealthy predator over vulnerable victims. Still, his ruling is a major break from the institutional instinct to bury mistakes. By ordering the documents unsealed, Berman signaled that the era of reflexive secrecy around Epstein is collapsing, and that the public finally has a right to inspect how a serial offender was allowed to operate with impunity for so long.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ cleared to release files from Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 sex trafficking trial | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In a sworn affidavit filed in 2017, Marie Villafaña, a Department of Justice official, laid out the government’s formal defense of how federal prosecutors handled the Crime Victims’ Rights Act during the Jeffrey Epstein non-prosecution agreement. Her core argument was that the CVRA’s notice and participation requirements did not apply because Epstein had not been federally charged at the time the deal was negotiated, framing the agreement as a pre-charge exercise of prosecutorial discretion rather than a criminal proceeding triggering victims’ rights. Villafaña asserted that prosecutors were operating within long-standing DOJ interpretations of the law, emphasizing that the CVRA was never intended to require victim notification during confidential plea negotiations or before formal charges were filed. She presented the government’s position as legally cautious rather than deceptive, insisting that secrecy was necessary to preserve the integrity of negotiations and avoid jeopardizing a potential federal case.Villafaña also used the affidavit to push back against allegations that prosecutors intentionally misled Epstein’s victims or acted in bad faith, repeatedly stressing that DOJ personnel believed they were complying with the law as it was understood at the time. She argued that internal DOJ guidance supported limiting disclosure to victims before charges, and that there was no clear judicial precedent then requiring broader notification under the CVRA in pre-indictment settings. Framed this way, the affidavit portrayed the Epstein deal not as a calculated effort to sidestep victims’ rights, but as a legally defensible—if controversial—exercise of prosecutorial judgment. That position would later come under severe criticism from courts and victims’ advocates, but in 2017 Villafaña’s filing stood as the DOJ’s most explicit attempt to justify its handling of the Epstein case under the CVRA.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:gov.uscourts.flsd.317867.403.19.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
