The complaints related to the nature of being homophobic, ableist, xenophobic, and misogynistic. Kohberger was just days into his first semester of the doctoral program when administrators received their first formal complaint; 12 more came over the next three months, according to newly unsealed documents. Included in the release are photos of the apartment Kohberger left behind in Pullman. The photos are filled with textbooks, graded papers, and a refrigerator partially full of food. The families of Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin are suing the city of Moscow over therelease of hundreds of these crime scene photos and videos of the first response to 1122 King Road. Their attorney claims many of the photos constitute an “unwarranted invasion of privacy.”Leander James says ‘blurring’ on the images is an ‘ineffective’ redaction, and blood is stillvisible on floors and walls of the home outside the blurring. James says in the footage, theSounds of sobbing friends and roommates are also incredibly traumatizing for the families. We are also learning that the witnesses and the individuals whom Kohberger's attorney planned to intimate as suspects are getting threats.

Jamie Brock and Kristin Brock share a blended family, each having children from other relationships. Kristin's 16-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, is living in the home as Jamie and Kristin welcome their own little girl. Through all their happiness, the Brocks have a dark cloud hanging over their heads. Jamie Brock, known for his big heart full of love, also happens to have a weak heart and needs a transplant soon if he wants to see his children grow up. From the outside, it appears the Brocks have a well-balanced family and for the most part avoided the drama associated with having a teenage daughter. 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick seems like a smart, sweet, typical teenage girl. But Jamie Brock, during several conversations, expresses her concerns, saying Sarah is not who she appears to present herself to the public to be when behind closed doors at home. On the morning of Thursday, February 20, the couple's five-year-old daughter goes to her parents' bedroom to wake them up. Not understanding what she sees, the child runs to her older sister, 16-year-old Sarah Grace, who immediately calls 911. The 5-year-old has discovered her mother and father dead in their bed, their bodies riddled with bullets. On the phone with 911, Sarah Grace tells the dispatcher the bodies are cold to the touch. As weeks turn into months with no arrest in the murders, Kristin's now 17-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, is taking to TikTok regularly, sharing emotional messages, urging influencers to draw attention to what is now an unsolved double homicide, and engaging with true crime creators in an effort to get them to cover the story. The odd grab for attention is not lost on family members, who now see many things Sarah Grace has done as "red flags."
