I still can't wrap my head around the "fact" that he entered the house with six people inside, several who were awake and he was there to target only one person, three ended up as collateral damage and two remained unharmed. And it all happened so fast and relatively quiet. It's such a crazy, sad case.

Basically I think Maddie was the target, he didn't expect Kaylee to be in the same room as her, so he killed her. Then Ethan either went into the kitchen for something or heard a commotion, which the killer followed him to Xana's room. Killed him in the doorway, which led him to Xana and killed her there.

When did “People Magazine” become a credible source??? 😂😂😂

Since Kaylee had moved out, my guess it was Maddie.

People that still keep saying that he’s innocent are unbelievable. There’s more hard evidence in this true crime case than in any other I’ve ever seen. It just keeps unfolding.

Seriously just let the professionals do their jobs. All news outlets keep reporting on the same things over and over. There are tons of other cases that still need attention too. At this point this is a suspect and custody and a gag order. Let’s let the families continue to mourn , work with law enforcement and be patient. At some point this has turned to just obsession vs. coverage. There are sooo many unsolved cases that need coverage too.

I cannot wait until the trial. I want to see all of this come out so we can get a clearer picture of why he did it. Obviously he was probably obsessed with one of the victims, but I’m interested to see how he knew them and all that

I believe he went to kill 1 found 2, other 2 heard some noises went to investigate, confronted BK on his way out, a brief deadly struggle & he was gone.

I think it was Maddie his Target everybody else was in the wrong place at the wrong time he did not expect Kaylee to be in that room and he ran into the others so sad

How is there so much Breaking news literally every week if there’s a gag order ?! apparently someone is talking .. ORRRR making up this stuff 🥴🥴

Those girls documented their lives on Instagram. One lesson from this atrocity is that people need to be a lot more private when using social media.

How is all this info being leaked with the gag order? I feel that this is the kind of thing that could jeopardize the trial.

I think Maddie was the target for him.

How would anyone know this? I would assume they confiscated his phone when they arrested him. Giving someone info from his phone would violate the gag order.

I think he had his sights on Maddie. Got more than he bargained for when kaylee was with her. Maddie would have been a super easy target for him with her being on the 3rd floor by herself.

May he never again see the light of day. 😢

He reached out to Maddie, so I will assume IF there's pictures it's of her

Could you imagine if his parents had no idea he was like this? The absolute horror of finding out your own kid did something so horrific. The absolute devastation you would feel for the parents, the other family members and friends of the victims. For the victims themselves to experience such pain and mutilation at the hands of your child. I really hope they had no idea their child was a monster.

I am surprised this was leaked. If he did have a photos, that's damning.

He saw them at the Mad Greek. The one he fixated on was Maddie Mogen. She fits the doll type he would go after. Xana was far too outspoken and independent for BK. He was a Narcissist. Xana would have punctured his ego many times. She was fearless. But Maddie seems more feminine and cute. Maddie's room was the first one he visited. Kaylee happened to be there too that night. He could not have gone into Kaylee's room as the dog was locked in there and barking his head off. I think that dog rattled BK quite a bit. He came downstairs, bumped into Ethan outside Xana's bedroom and killed him, then Xana in her room. Both Ethan and Xana were awake and waiting for the food delivery. I'm 99% sure it was Maddie he was after. Her bed had the knife sheath on it. Poor Maddie. She probably never read any of his Instagram DMs either. What a savage attack from an insanely evil Psychopath. RIP Maddie, Kaylee, Xana, Ethan. You are not forgotten.

I wouldn't believe anything that comes out while the gag order is in place! This could all turn out to be false later. And it's highly disrespectful to the mourning families. Cmon newsnation, I know you want the views with this case but this is ridiculous

Didn’t he message Kaylee or Maddie and he didn’t get a response? I think it was one of them and both were in one bed to his surprise- so…😓 Ethan stepped into the hall hearing the noises and was faced with Brian and slashed and then Xana just because he wanted to quickly silence her. He got more than he bargained for. Don’t think he planned four murders, but unfortunately they “got in the way.” It’s so sad.

How eyes ARE really SCARY. I’d be terrified if I ran into him ! Specially in my house!!

I cannot wait until this is all over. May the families heal in peace ❤

They still haven't even released the results of the Pennsylvania search.

Why would he have a picture of them on his phone if it was 6 weeks+ after the murders. That makes 0 sense lmao

my guess is the same as most of y’all’s: Maddie. doubt BK would’ve known but, apparently Kaylee was already moved out & she had just come back for the weekend to spend time with Maddie & her former roomies or whatever? who knows if Maddie would’ve been murdered even if Kaylee wasn’t there. there’s no silver lining to all this but, at the VERY least, she passed on with her bestfriend/soulmate by her side /:

He is so guilty and he thinks he is so smart... not smart at all. So sad for for his victims and their families. This is horrific!!

He's truly over. How is going to convince a judge he wasn't stalking her if there's pictures in the phone.

By the time it goes to trial, he's better off just admitting to everything.

Prayers to the family! Death penalty is needed. This has to stop maybe if judges were harsher with punishment people wouldn't commit crimes out of fear.... ALSO people need to start getting the house cameras!!!! There is so many cameras everywhere especailly in idaho! Thank God!♡

There was details leaked regarding the manner in which the bodies had even been found and the types of wounds on them because an agent had leaked it over a text. Wouldn't shock me if this is what happened before they got the gag order finalized that the info was leaked beforehand. If it came out before the gag order happened then there is nothing that can be done about it. The chances are that is the case and the reason there is no follow up now on what the picture actually was and of who it was means that the order is now in place and they can't delve further into the details. Ofc a LOT of news channels / papers LOVE to release news before actually fact checking it to make sure it is even true. There's a reason you will see edits to articles after they were published. Sometimes the article will outright be removed off the site and a small apology issued. It's possible this info isn't even correct or valid. For all we know there could be hundreds of pics, or there could be zero. The news is there sadly most of the time now to get the most clicks / sales regardless of if it's actual fact.

From the beginning, I think the person was Maddie being stalked. We shall learn in a few months.

if you guys want the best coverage of this story…. annie elise x 10 to life just came out with an amazing documentary that shows the most put together story of this case i’ve seen so far… and she does an amazing job of showing the personalities of the people who passed. it’s called the “idaho murders documentary”.

I wouldn't give you 2 cents for social media and this is exactly why.

The name will probably be leaked next week.

Your source is not telling you if the photos were taken or downloaded 👏🏻 Thanks NewsNation

Do we know if the trial will be livestreamed whenever it begins?

I really enjoy your reporting. Thank you

Poor Maddie didn't realize the evil that was messaging her on Instagram and the cruel intentions he had

I bet it was Maddie. Kaylee had already moved out and was there that weekend as a surprise and to show Maddie her new car. I also suspect that this attack was originally sexually motivated and Kaylee’s wounds were significantly worse because he was angry that she was there when he wasn’t expecting her to be after all his planning. I’m not so sure anymore that he initially went in intending to kill anyone, I’m thinking he snapped and from there he was caught by the other roommates on his way out. Such a tragic and gruesome case.

Take with grain of salt

I love how there’s a gag order yet they are getting all this information that’s not supposed to be released because of the same gag order in place

I think we all gathered there was a “main target” so to speak. So terrible. For me (with no real information at all) I have a feeling it was Kaylee. If not Kaylee, possibly Maddie. I always have in the back of my mind Kaylee’s dad telling abc news that they started seeing connections between Kaylee and Bryan but they weren’t ready to talk about it and that it would come out eventually.

This entire segment felt very much like a tabloid show rather than a news broadcast. Focus on what we actually know and report the stories when court is actually in session. News Nation, don't sink to TMZ levels of reporting.

Why even report on this if you don't say which victim's pictures he had.

This was a frustrating update to watch. Why release information saying he had a female on his phone but be super secretive about who it is?? What was the point of this??? If you are the leaker reading this, just stop. We aren’t interested in anymore of your leaks because you are incompetent. If you are gonna risk the trial like that, you could have least provided important information like WHO it was.

This is the same People mag reporter that "broke" the story of Bryan at the Mad Greek that the restaurant owner as much as denied so I'm a bit sus. However, if true, this is the strongest evidence yet against Kohberger. Just remember the gag order and consider the source.

They said one of the girls had a stalker. It will be interesting to see who he was targeting initially.

He's so busted. I can't wait for the victory

Why are they keeping his target such a secret? What difference does it make at this point?

Ashley Banfield reporting second hand, third hand information, excuse me - RUMOR. This is not journalism.

He gets more obviously guilty by the moment

OH DEAR GOD your source is people magazine again? My god. Didn't you learn not to last time the sold you misinformation?

I think it was Kaylee bc he knew this was the last time she’d be at that house, as he followed her on social media and she was moving away. That’s the only logical reason for him to go THAT night.

You guys are always first to get the tips about new evidence and information about cases, and we appreciate you passing it along to us!!!

Didn't one of the female victims say she was being stalked ?

So the contact shared there are pics.. but not of who? C'mon

Who the hell is your source?

Banfield needs to STOP INTERFERING WITH THIS INVESTIGATION.

Do we know if this case will be televised?

You would think his parents would have the the right state of mind to convince him to plead guilty and avoid putting the victim’s family through more pain and suffering.

I doubt the police would share this with People magazine. What law enforcement agent and who at People?

I’m pretty sure they can also track how many times a certain thing has been searched and looked at, Instagram searching her name several times a day or week would be “paying attention” as well as who regularly views the victims Instagram and Facebook story’s as well would be accessible to them and pertinent if it shows he was watching their stories and repeatedly going to their pages it shows obsessive behavior at very least

This story keeps getting interesting as we get closer to the trial date. Which one of the victims???

Surely, he would have saw how many cars were at the house. That would be a really big risk with so many there.

So, someone is ignoring the gag order? Is this just heresay or is it info released from the police?

So Heartbreaking, Prayers for Everyone Affected by This Terrible Tragedy. 🙏 I Was Wondering Why Ashley Banfield Wears The Same Color and Style Tops Very Becoming and Nice, Is Her Color Most Definitely, Very Beautiful.

Just my guess, but I am guessing Maddie.

Can't wait for this trial

Early after the murders, I heard that one of the girls had told friends she had a stalker. Then…nobody ever mentioned that again.

Yeah him and 10,000 other guys from TikTok or Tinder

Gossip, rumors... WHY don't you do a little research on the PARTY HOUSE instead ??

He's wrong. The Mad Greek explicitly said no one said or saw BK there.

If he targeted her, he has probably targeted others before this murder.

Why do they feel like they know who bc I don’t????

I don’t understand how there’s a gag order yet all this is being leaked!

This is big news and it's hard not to say something that's so shocking. It's human nature.

What a freak! And he thinks he’s gonna get exonerated. Be for real!

Banfield and other reporters will say just about anything to keep blabbing about this...we’ll see at trial how much of it was Bee Ess.

Does this really come as a surprise that there were pictures of her on his phone? Really?

Why bring on a speaker who adds absolutely nothing to the conversation?

I tell you, this case gets more interesting every time I hear new information.

So how do investigators get into an accused persons phone? Are they required to give up their password, does anybody know?

"Theres a gag order in effect, and they can't tell us all those details," kinda says it all. U til i hear this from the court or trial, there is no way to verify the truth of this.

This case will forever stay in my mind.

So much for a GAG order. With all this information the media is putting out to world this guy will not get a fair and unbiased trial anywhere. You all have him guilty already. It's going to be very difficult to get a decent jury that will not have a biased opinion. I think there's more than one person involved in this and if so, you want to hope they get them. Keep up the great work

WoW 😳 he was stalking no doubt. Idk what makes another person think they can stalk another person an become so obsessed. Was he angry one of the girls wouldn't acknowledge him or possibly date him? SMH such a evil loser!🤦

Not believing any of this. Ashley needs to quit reporting.

Why would People Magazine and Banfield keep posting "breaking news" during a gag order? Is it to up their ratings instead of bringing justice to the victims and their families? I am just trying to understand why they are doing this and I welcome and Respect all responses.

Love the Emmy is visible in his display case! I would too if I won one lol. Congratulations

I don't know how his attorney can sit next to a person who killed 3 people with a knife. I'd have goosebumps the whole time

It was MM, KC had moved out and the first murders happened in MM’s bedroom, he didn’t know KC would be there. He met MM in the Greek restaurant where she worked.

So much drama. Why can't these hosts just talk normally? Just report the news. Leave the drama for tv shows. We really don't like it out here. Do you care?

This is why we all need and have the right to bear arms we are responsible for our own and other people's safety period Lonnie ray

Hei guys, one question. How could he be so confidently walking through the house and knowing which door leads to who and how to escape / enter? Is it that common in Idaho that the outside doors are open 24/7? Or has he been there before? Maybe at a party? Here in Germany our outside doors are locked even at daytime.

Speculation nation - when reporters are citing People Magazine there is really no merit in that. This style of inquiry is dangerous.

0:09 we don’t want to hear about all this circumstantial evidence. Let us know when they have something that actually connects him to the murder

It’s definitely NOT Xena ( I hope I am spelling her name right) it’s one of the blonde girls I think it’s Maddie Imagine being this guys lawyer and trying for a not guilty verdict everyday it’s something new that hammers the nail in the coffin deeper. He is never seeing freedom again the best he can hope for is to not get death. If I were him I’d be doing everything I can to save my life and if I were prosecuting him I’d offer him one deal only which is life in prison no parole IF he gives a detailed full confession and allow a psychiatrist to do a deep dive with him so we can understand his life and motives and see all the signs that were missed and a way to prevent this in the future…. All that being said if I were Bryan I’d be looking to see what my future is if he is in a wing away from gen pop just in a wing with the weirdos perverts and chomos I guess it would be better than death but if it’s 23 hour lock down for the rest of your life which for him could be literally 60-65 more years I’d choose death. And gen pop he will definitely be killed but in a brutal way I’d rather just be put down like the dog he is with lethal injection or whatever it is. Although he deserves the worst.

Isn’t there a gag order? How are you exempt from dropping bombshells in this case?
