Former homicide detective says Idaho murder suspect wasn't prepared for chaos after killings
Retired Seattle Homicide Detective Cloyd Steiger says the Idaho quadruple murder suspect was not prepared for the chaos that ensued when the attacks occurred. Was this the suspect's first time killing someone? Was he a Ted Bundy in the making? A narcissist? A rookie? Retired Det. Steiger shares his take with FOX 13's David Rose.

The fact that a small town police chief was able to assess the situation, realize that this was wayyy out of their league, swallow his pride and call in for help from the experts at the FBI and help from the state police really shows his character. A lot of talking heads on TV owe that chief an apology.

There are two unsolved stabbings in the Washington area. The first was a 71 year old woman who was stabbed in her sleep. She was found dead in her bed. The second was a married couple. They were also attacked in their sleep by a man and stabbed. The husband died at the hospital and the wife was hospitalized but managed to survive. Both murders were done on the 13th of the month, like the Moscow murders. Both of the murders were stabbings and were committed within a 70 mil radius of Kohberger's apartment in Pullman.

Thats not gonna happen. We are too far gone.
You can read the affidavit on line. It’s very detailed how they were tracking him well before any DNA evidence implicated him. Video surveillance of his car going back and forth from the crime scene and his university numerous times before and during the murders and cell phone towers along the exact route pinging his cell phone on the same dates and times. He left Touch DNA on the sheath button snap from prior handling with hands. Remember, he was obviously wearing gloves during the murders but it didn’t matter because anything you touch leaves DNA on it. They had enough suspicion to request Pennsylvania authorities to take trash from the parents house. That trash matched the DNA profile on the button snap. He’s busted and there’s no defense. He got sloppy and left too many clues behind.

I am an ordinary citizen of Poland who has been following the developments in this case from day one. Each of us, regardless of geographical location around the world, should know very well that social media is not a homicide department or a high court. the disclosure of information on this case by social media and journalists can help escape or manipulate evidence in court. as citizens, we should cooperate in such a situation and know that 10-20% of the information disclosed is what we should see, especially in such a media case. In such cases, the media should cooperate, not interfere. 80-90% must remain secret and serve as a weapon for the department to bring the perpetrator to justice. Leads that may lead to the apprehension of the perpetrator should be sent directly to the investigating department, not pasted on social media. We are all certain of the acts committed by the murderer, but presenting it and proving it in court are two different things. after the information released at the moment, it can be seen that the police had full control, and the arrest was only a matter of time. police vs social media 1:0 good job USA

If people realize how many women get murdered from abusers every year and how much crime actually goes unresolved and even non investigated I think the public would be horrified. My own case from being assaulted and attacked was brushed under the rug and the guy got away with it. Every case should be taken this serious. This force did a great job formulating a team and building this case - the key stone cops that handled the Petito case should take some lessons.

Every time I see outstanding work from the police, I'm reminded of how terrible the police in Uvalde are. I can't get away from that tragedy, it's seared into my brain. I'm just so glad they got this guy.
I think the guy just wanted to kill. He was seeking information from criminals on how they selected their victims. I don't think these victims had a true connection to Bryan, or that there was a personal motive for the killing. I think he just assumed they would be easy victims because of their lifestyle, and knowing that the house was a party house with frequent visitors would add to the confusion of a small police department on who the suspect could be. With multiple victims in one crime scene -- again it expands the potential for suspects. I think Bryan thought he was smarter than the police -- and possibly even the sheath was intentionally left behind -- because it had USMC on it -- maybe to make the police suspect a former marine. If the sheath had just the single fingerprint on the snap, he may have overlooked that detail if he wiped the rest of it from fingerprints. I think he probably expected to get away with it for a long time -- but the police did an exceptional job. There would never be any motive to justify the murders, but I think people really want to believe there has to be a reason -- when it simply can just be that evil people do evil things.

Your first two sentences dont make any sense. Just because you are studying how criminals choose their victims doesn't mean you have to kill to know because it still won't give you the answer of how criminals choose their victims. These are two separate ideas. The way you know how a criminal chooses his victims are to ask the criminal himself and to study and observe his killing pattern.

Great interview…thank you
As a retired state trooper investigator this interview was one of the best of the dozens I've been watching since the case began. The cable news circuits have full stables of has- been and way-over-their pay grade interviews and opinions, including one very annoying guy named after a famous ball player. This is a street wise guy, the kind who solves crime. Moscow PD did a great job. I agree, too much was released due to public pressure. This was I believe the first high profile case where social media has really gotten themselves in the way. Info on the car, likely why he changed the registration, a good example. The cops reporting a possible KaBar knife - duh, the killer knew he forgot his sheath. If the cops intentionally arranged those traffic stops in Indiana then they screwed up not having a plain clothes trooper (back in uniform) making the contacts. A lot of info could have been garnered from the road side chats. Example "geez, WSU?, you guys are driving a white Elantra just like what they are looking for, where you there when it happened, LOL, etc.). A great "knock & talk" missed - twice. Be great to get a video view of both of their faces had that happened. And no need to look for injuries either, they did full body photographs in PA after they arrested him in booking with a search warrant.

@@taramiller3236 I've written enough registration tickets (hundreds) so no, you don't have to. There are a lot of reasons why you can live in one state and have registration tags in another. School, a transient non perm job, military service. Usually if you don't fit those criteria, 90 days after you claim permanent residency applies. Or when the tag actually expires. Unlike OL requirements in many states you can renew online or through the mail, DMV wants your $$. A lot of people play the tag game to avoid paying higher fees. He may have wanted WA tags to claim residency to get a cheaper tuition rate. News flash; what a person "has to do" and what they chose to do are two different subjects altogether. Injuries: upon arrest by search warrant they did a full body exam and took photographs. Perhaps those traffic stop cops could see a cut visible on his hands or wrists but like an iceberg most of it could be concealed under his clothing. Healed? Scratches, likely yes. deep cuts, perhaps even wounds closed by sutures, no.

I think the sheath got left on accident. I think he was so high from doing it, along with adrenaline rush, and it was dark enough, he probably missed it. People in fight response get tunnel vision and easily miss things. Reasons for my theory: 1. He drove south to Blaine Idaho immediately after, probably to ditch the knife and sheath and other items he wore. 2. He went back near the kids house around 9 am, probably to see if anyone had reported it yet, and maybe to see if he had dropped the sheath on the ground. Then drove immediately home to WSU. He probably relaxed when police didn't mention finding anything on the scene that would indicate what weapon was used specifically. Which would explain his elation in class except when they discussed the case. He thought he had gotten away with it.

I like your theories, and I think in his excited state he may have gotten lost on his way back home! (dark lol…) He turned the phone off/airplane so it wouldn’t track him at the time of the murders, so he also probably couldn’t use Google maps. Being new-ish to the area, and there are a lot of rural roads out there, he got turned around in his excited rush to leave, and then had to turn the phone on to find his way back home when he realized he was going in the wrong direction, down to Blaine. Otherwise if he were at all smart, he wouldn’t have turned the phone back on until he was home, so it would look like he was home the whole time. Intriguing oddball thought that occurred to me!

There was no way a person can kill 4 ppl that up close and not leave any DNA behind. What I didn't know was that this monster left the sheath to his knife behind. When detectives are tight lipped about a case, and don't even share progress with family... they know more than they're letting on! Let them do their job without the harsh criticism.

The DNA they found on the button snap of the knife sheath was previous touch DNA left behind from prior handling without gloves. He wore gloves and was prepared when he committed the murders. If he would’ve handled the sheath more cautiously before hand and or didn’t leave it behind they probably wouldn’t have DNA.

Yes. Sadly it’s typically specific acts/ details the perpetrators enjoy about it like the power, the fight, the adrenaline… they don’t see killing someone as something of a crime, rather a sport, a high, a rush, a game with a score sheet. Who ever scores highest is coolest in their heads. They won’t feel bad because “it was just another human being, so what?” There’s no remorse, no regret, just perhaps hindsight of what they wished they did differently. Definitely he wanted to get away with it and be able to talk about it and blend in like the wolf in sheeps clothing he is… I feel that’s what would have been anything close to a motive too, being able to act out what he’s researched and studied, get away with it and talk about it. I also feel if a long enough period of time would have passed he would’ve killed again. It’s seriously just the joy of killing for them, and getting away with it or at least thinking they will. Although I must also say, ppl like him will happily accept the fact they got caught and narcissistically enjoy the recognition and “notoriety” off the title they will now receive. Sad.
