A Sky Full of Holes: Weather Records Aim to Undercut Kohberger’s Alibi

A Sky Full of Holes: Weather Records Aim to Undercut Kohberger’s Alibi

A Sky Full of Holes: Weather Records Aim to Undercut Kohberger’s Alibi

It was a dark and cloudy night—literally. According to records from the National Weather Service, that’s not just a dramatic opener—it’s the kind of detail Idaho prosecutors say could help dismantle Bryan Kohberger’s defense. On November 13, 2022, Kohberger allegedly left his apartment in Pullman, Washington, around 4 a.m., drove a short distance to Moscow, Idaho, and fatally stabbed four University of Idaho students inside their off-campus home.

He says he was just out for a drive. A moody, late-night cruise through the Palouse to clear his head and maybe catch some stars. But the government is now pointing to a cloudy, foggy, and unusually cold morning as evidence that his story doesn’t quite match up with the conditions outside.

Prosecutors want to introduce detailed weather data into the upcoming trial, pulling from the National Weather Service records in the area during the night in question. And they’ve got expert analysis to back it up. FOX Weather meteorologist Andrew Wulfeck reviewed the observations and found that visibility was reduced due to fog, with low clouds that wouldn’t have made for much of a stargazing experience. Not a blackout-level fog, but enough to paint the night sky with a dull, overcast haze. As Wulfeck put it, “not the greatest night” for a celestial joyride.

The timing and purpose of Kohberger’s alleged drive have been a central piece of his defense. In court filings, his attorneys describe a routine behavior—driving in the early morning hours to run, hike, or take in the sky. But prosecutors aren’t buying it, and the weather records could help them argue that the conditions were inconsistent with that kind of activity.

Wulfeck explained that temperatures on both November 12 and 13 were lower than seasonal averages, due to a ridge of high pressure in the region. Sky conditions, wind speeds, and even sunrise and sunset times all added up to one thing: a cold, cloudy night with no real celestial action overhead.

The nearest weather station is located at the Pullman-Moscow Regional Airport—almost exactly between Kohberger’s apartment and the King Road crime scene. That location reported fog and reduced visibility but not enough to cause official alerts. Still, the takeaway is clear: if someone was out that night looking to hike under the stars, they would’ve needed a serious imagination—or night vision.

And just to top it off, there was no eclipse, no supermoon, no cosmic event to give a stargazer any real reason to be out there. It was just a dull, gray sky—pretty much the last place you'd want to be if the stars were what you were chasing.

This seemingly simple data point—weather—may become a strategic strike in the larger case against Kohberger. Prosecutors are challenging his alibi in court and want the records, along with other evidence, admitted at trial. That includes Amazon purchase history that allegedly ties Kohberger to a Ka-Bar knife and sheath, the same kind of sheath found under one of the victims, with Kohberger’s DNA allegedly recovered from its snap.

The defense, unsurprisingly, wants all of that kept out. Weather data. Amazon records. Anything that could further paint a picture they’re trying hard to dispute.

Kohberger is accused of four students in the early morning hours of November 13. Six hours after the killings, Kohberger allegedly took a smiling selfie in front of an empty shower. His attorneys say he was just out for a drive. Prosecutors say the clouds don’t lie.

Jury selection is set to begin July 30, with the trial expected to start August 11.

Eyewitness Testimony: Are Bryan Kohberger’s Eyebrows Enough for Identification?

Eyewitness Testimony: Are Bryan Kohberger’s Eyebrows Enough for Identification?

Could Bryan Kohberger really have been framed, or is his defense team just throwing spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks? In the latest twist, his attorneys are now claiming the infamous knife sheath—with Kohberger’s DNA on it—was planted at the crime scene. That’s right, the defense is going full OJ, suggesting someone wanted to make sure Kohberger took the fall for the brutal University of Idaho murders. But if that’s true…who would go to such extreme lengths to frame him, and more importantly, why? Former prosecutor and defense attorney Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski to dissect the legal gymnastics of this claim. How often do frame jobs actually happen in court? Could a jury buy this theory? And let’s be real—how exactly would someone even get their hands on Kohberger’s DNA to plant it in such a specific way? Plus, the eyebrow-raising (literally) witness testimony the defense desperately wants thrown out. Is this a bold legal move or just a sign of desperation? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #CrimeNews #LegalAnalysis #MurderTrial Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Can Autism Save Bryan Kohberger from the Death Penalty?  FBI Expert Weighs In

Can Autism Save Bryan Kohberger from the Death Penalty? FBI Expert Weighs In

Can Autism Save Bryan Kohberger from the Death Penalty?  FBI Expert Weighs In Was Bryan Kohberger meticulously planning the perfect crime, or did his digital footprint tell a completely different story? As more details emerge in the case against the alleged killer of four University of Idaho students, new insights into his psychological evaluations, text messages, and digital searches paint a chilling picture. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to break down the latest evidence, including a newly revealed timeline of messages from the surviving roommates and the eerie digital breadcrumbs that could be damning in court. Did Kohberger’s own online activity provide prosecutors with a roadmap to his intent? And is the defense already laying the groundwork for a last-ditch effort to save his life by shifting the focus to his mental state? Judge John Judge isn’t playing games—so what happens when the courtroom circus meets a no-nonsense referee? And let’s talk about the survivor’s actions that night—was it fear, shock, or just the way Gen Z processes trauma? Before you say what you would have done, are you sure you’d act differently in a nightmare scenario? How much more evidence is waiting to be unearthed before trial, and will any of it change the course of justice? #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DigitalEvidence #CourtroomDrama #HiddenKillersPodcast #JenniferCoffindaffer Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Knife Sheath Defense: A Bold Strategy in the Kohberger Case

The Knife Sheath Defense: A Bold Strategy in the Kohberger Case

The Knife Sheath Defense: A Bold Strategy in the Kohberger Case Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson dropped a bombshell in a newly filed motion—Bryan Kohberger’s defense team isn’t disputing that his DNA was found on the knife sheath at the crime scene. Instead, they’re setting up an argument that someone else could have planted it there. That’s right—the cornerstone of the prosecution’s forensic evidence might just be the battleground where the defense makes its stand. “Instead of challenging the conclusion that the DNA on the knife sheath belonged to Defendant, the defense’s expert disclosures reveal that the defense plans to argue the DNA on the knife sheath does not prove Defendant was ever at the crime scene and the knife sheath itself could have been planted by the real perpetrator,” Thompson wrote. This argument flips the script in a case where DNA was expected to be the smoking gun. The defense isn’t saying the lab got it wrong. They’re saying that finding Kohberger’s DNA on the sheath doesn’t automatically mean he was in the house when the murders happened. And the next logical step? The suggestion that someone else put it there. The problem? Many of the court documents that lay out exactly how the defense plans to support this theory are sealed. That means right now, there’s no way to compare Thompson’s claim against what the defense has actually submitted in court filings. Kohberger, the 29-year-old criminology Ph.D. student, is charged with four counts of first-degree murder in the brutal slayings of University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. The attack, which took place in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, inside an off-campus rental home, shocked the small town of Moscow, Idaho, and quickly became a national headline. Kohberger has never spoken publicly about the case. When asked to enter a plea last year, he stood silent, prompting the judge to enter a not-guilty plea on his behalf. If convicted, he could face the death penalty. Prosecutors say they matched Kohberger’s DNA to the knife sheath using investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG. This controversial technique, which compares crime scene DNA against public ancestry databases to find potential family connections, has been a key factor in cracking cold cases. But Kohberger’s defense team fought hard to keep IGG evidence out of the courtroom, arguing that its use in his case was flawed. Their request was denied last month, though prosecutors have since stated they won’t introduce IGG at trial. Instead, they’ll present it as a “tip” that led them to Kohberger as a suspect. Now, with the trial set to begin on August 11 and expected to last more than three months, the stage is set for an intense legal battle. The prosecution is relying on forensic evidence, including the knife sheath, while the defense is signaling that they’re going to challenge the very meaning of that evidence. It’s a high-stakes gamble that could shape the outcome of one of the most closely watched murder trials in years. #BryanKohberger #IdahoMurders #TrueCrime #DNAEvidence Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Bryan Kohberger Goes 'Full OJ' Claiming Evidenced Planted & He Was Framed!

Bryan Kohberger Goes 'Full OJ' Claiming Evidenced Planted & He Was Framed!

Bryan Kohberger’s defense team just made a stunning claim—they say he was framed for the University of Idaho murders. In this episode, we break down the new defense strategy, analyzing whether the knife sheath with Kohberger’s DNA was planted and if there’s any real evidence to support this theory. Could someone have stolen his DNA and placed it at the crime scene? Or is this a desperate legal move to create reasonable doubt? We also take a deep dive into the evidence that led to Kohberger’s arrest—his cell phone pings near the victims’ home, the white Hyundai Elantra spotted on surveillance, and the mysterious unidentified DNA found at the crime scene. Is the prosecution’s case airtight, or are there gaps that could sway the jury? And what about the missing murder weapon—could its absence help the defense? Finally, we explore Kohberger’s psychology, his odd courtroom demeanor, and what his criminology background reveals about his behavior. Plus, we examine the surviving roommate’s testimony—does it help or hurt the frame-up theory? Don’t miss this detailed breakdown of the latest developments in one of the most high-profile murder trials in recent history.    Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
