What I've been learning lately ; if you want to carry out a criminal act don't ever ever have a phone, a tablet, a computer, a car entertainment system, don't walk anywhere incase there is CCTV ; stay at home . I've never been so glad just for being normal.

Get a Bluetooth beacon for your house. Anyone who enters with the area with a cellphone with Bluetooth on will leave a digital handshake with the beacon. Every major department store already does this. How do u think Google can tell if they are busy or not?

My phone was recording my maps , even when I went on walks with my dog and not using my maps. Everywhere I had been was stored in it, it creeped me out lol

So a creepy thing about hearing all this digital evidence is remembering that Kohberger was actively trying to learn about digital forensics before these murders, but he didn't get into that particular program.

This is easy. If you have a bluetooth "smart" speaker they're waiting for the "Ok, Google" or "Alexa" command to help you. So if they're waiting for that, it means they're always listening.

Bryan Kohberger's phone was shut off before the murder occurred, and turned back on when he got home. I don't understand how having a Bluetooth device in the bedroom would help prove anything, unless it was connected to Alexa (or something similar), and if Alexa would have a recording of any sound/voice that occurred in her bedroom. I think the reporter is confused as to what the expert said.

Bluetooth speaker in her room? The room that she moved out of? Seeing how, She wasn't living there anymore. 🤔 This pulling straws Ashley..

Kaylee’s dad made the comment that “he tried to log into their Wi-Fi,” something to that effect. Now, that makes sense.

But if he turned his phone off, I dont think this is going to pan out.

There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of how Bluetooth technology works here... it's not like a cellular connection that's constantly connecting your phone to the nearest cell tower without your knowledge. It must be activated in both devices you're looking to pair, and you need to proactively pair the devices the first time. Most small Bluetooth speakers can only cope with one device connection at a time, so assuming Kaylee's phone was already paired to the speaker then it won't be trying to pair with random phones. Also, Bluetooth is easily toggled on/off on any phone & people will turn it off when not in use to save battery. It's not going to give the type of hidden tracking data that's being suggested.

And no one finds this constant surveillance creepy, sheesh.

I always wondered if they had Alexa or Echo, etc.

Unless she had an Alexa in her room, just a bluetooth speaker isn't going to provide any evidence. It's not going to like record the audio of what happened in the room. BK's phone also won't automatically connect to a bluetooth speaker. First, his phone's bluetooth would need to be on AND the speaker would need to be in pairing mode in order to authenticate the connection.

News nation doing the most with this case 🙄

Banfield getting creepy again! Chefs kiss! cmon lady

She is so annoying…”I’m so dumb…” just a lawyer…..

We are totally controlled by technology. I look at my coffee maker with another eyes.

Ummm, you have to open Bluetooth and try to connect. It’s not just gonna search or connect u less you turn that Bluetooth device and attempt to connect. Sorry but this is silly. Man. What is going on with these broadcasts

Really freaks me out to think if this happened in like the 90’s, I highly doubt they would’ve had a suspect in the time they did.

Kaylee had already moved out of the house.

She had moved out. I’m sure her blue tooth was gone. She had only came back for the weekend to show Maddie her new car.

All I need to know is.. What is his Alibi for that night and next morning? I rest my case. This guy is 200% guilty

Don't bluetooth devices have to be intentionally paired initially for it to later immediately connect? Also, have we not also learned that his phone was off during the crime and came back on when he was approaching his home.

Does this woman ALWAYS wear Ivory colored blouses?

We need to take cyber stalking more serious 🙏♥️💙🇺🇸

Very informative. Appreciate the analysis of what is going on with this case.

Absolutely Fascinating. Great Guest.❤

What an absolutely absurd headline you guys jfc

Look at what our phones can do! Imagine what that Chinese Weather Balloon could do!

Yes thank you Clark.. info I've been wondering too!

I'm surprised the question wasn't asked whether or not they actually had a Wi-Fi hotspot in the house. If I'm not mistaken, that will keep a more detailed record of phones that were present. The interesting thing is that even if it doesn't show Kolberger's phone wasn't there it doesn't necessarily prove he wasn't there but if it shows that an unaccounted phone was there then that shatter's the whole state's case against Kolberger

What I don't understand is, I thought Kaylee had moved out and was just down for the weekend to visit Maddy one last time prior to moving. If so, would the speaker not of been packed and removed from the house just like all her other belongings?

The bs gets deeper every day.....

Breaking news: there was a refrigerator in the kitchen!

If any of them had an echo dot it can record even if you don’t ask it to. Sometimes it turns on and records noises and voices. Check those devices!!!

Any moral prudent and law abiding person does not need to be scared of being tracked or activity monitored.

So sad. Those sweet kids did not deserve to go that way. Heartbreaking. Sidenote: Love the Banfield show. Started following during Gabbi Petito.

I am so glad I watched this, that word handshake has been on my "tip of tongue" but I just couldn't remember that was the term. Whew.

"Alexa, why did Dylan wait 8hrs before calling the cops?"

I wondered what that camera and microphone were doing up on that pole strategically placed at the second floor level located at the "back" of the house (by the second floor deck by Maddie's room). Now, we have this as well. It seems that this house at 1122 is on stage 24/7 just due to circumstance(s). I'm so sorry that this has happened to all of the Idaho 4, my loving prayers and thoughts are with the families.

Finally someone with common sense

I don’t understand the connection.

Where is all this information coming from and coming out now….amazingly fantastical info

Bluetooth is turned off when you turn on airplane mode his phone would not have connected or tried to connect to anything at the house his phone isn't very useful in the case because they don't have GPS pings which would have shown exactly how close he was to the crime scene but they do have carrier pings that they can see he was within 10 miles of the house which isn't good enough as for evidence but that won't matter because they have concrete evidence that will convict him without a doubt they won't be releasing those details until trial

I heard a while back that BK's cell phone pinged on that house WIFI, is that true?

Ashleigh, Another fantastic show! I love the way you and your guests interact and all of the new information that's uncovered, especially in the BCK case.

Did anyone else hear of a company called Paraben being involved in cellphone data captures? What do we know about them?

I highly doubt this could be a credible lead. The suspect had switched his mobile phone off before he committed the crime. No pings from his cellular were collected during the time the slayings were presumed occurred.

I don’t think is a good idea to release this information, can't you just wait until the trial?

How does Newnation keep talking about this case WITH THE GAG- order in place ?? Other channels say they can't?

Hmm we were told Kaylee slept with Maddie because she was leaving for Texas in AM. Her stuff was packed up. This is false news

Maybe it's time to wait for the investigation and trial to reveal facts about this case....you are not helping at this point.

Bluetooth has a range of 30 feet. So, you don't need to be IN the bedroom, you can be outside the house in your car as long as it is within 30 ft range. He might still have a hard time explaining his presence 30 ft from the bedroom. But if his phone was completely turned off, there would be no digital evidence. If Wifi is off, Bluetooth would connect to phone as it does not need Wifi (internet) to connect. Good stuff! Thanks Ashleigh and Clark!

That is awesome good to know thank you

Excellent coverage

Moral of the story and this is NOT to people who endeavor to do the right thing as a rule, rather those who stand for nothing and fall for anything: Get used to the idea of being watched and do the right thing whether you are watched or not. And that doesn't mean taking numerous careless steps and changing your mind at the last minute. It means controlling your mind every day. Don't think about revenge. Don't imagine what it would be like to attack someone. Don't let the rejection of others define you. Do a check up from the neck up and ask yourself why people don't want you around. It's painful but we all have to treat feedback as a friend. The thing is, there will be always someone in life to kick you. Decide what direction you want to go and make it a good trip FOR EVERYONE.

The murderers phone actually connected to the crime house WI-FI one time.

Thank you both bless 🙏☺️☺️

"chef's kiss" is over-the-top.

Siri, was that Byran Kohberger?

I think it’s crazy you’re focused on him flipping the bird when he was biting the nail of his middle finger and so many other more important things happen in the courtroom, such as testimony, but we’re focused on this on news nation?

This is brilliant. I never knew that bluetooth keeps all records of where you've connected before, etc. Fantastic news if they are able to use these hand shakes, etc, as proof in murder cases like these.

Im confused...whats the significance of the bluetooth speaker? Wasnt his phone off?

But as a doctoral student in the field, wouldn’t he have known this and avoided bringing his phone along for the trip from his apartment to the scene and back?

I have said all along I believe they have digital evidence in that exact home I truly believe they captured the murders and possibly even heard everything that was said during this horrible murders

Things like this will just let future killers know, leave your phone at home! Ugh.

Her glee when reporting on this case is GROSS.

Banfield seems high on something these days 🤔

Makes me wonder about the Morphew case and his phone in airport mode.

But they need to check every cell phone that has ever pinged the speaker to do a full investigation or the defense attorney can say what about other possible suspects?

So if bk was in his car less than 300 ft away and his phone was hooked to BT in his car would it still be searching others or would the speaker in the room find his phone? Any thoughts?

I don’t get it. Did DM not hear Help!!!!No one screamed help?

This was such a hook and bait LOL I thought they got something on her Bluetooth. But still good info to know

I don’t think they will be able to bring anything new into this matter with a Bluetooth speaker.

I really don't see the relevance

He could’ve attended at least one of their many overcrowded parties before the murders and this connection occurred. Also he was able to assess the layout of the house and even who slept where. 🤔

Sure she did! They better have cam footage of that in the bedroom.

But wasn't his phone turned off during the murders, to hide his tracks there? If so, nothing will record a connection.

Unless my phone has been previously paired with anything Bluetooth it's not connecting especially by itself.

This chick is making up stories as she's going along. I want justice for those poor students but being a news reporter she's supposed to stay neutral until hez proven guilty. She's walking a very fine line

4:16 The vehicle they are in appears to have an infotainment system but Bryan’s father is using his leg that came equipped with an iPhone. 🤣🤣 If you want to tie Bryan to a location with a phone and a license plate then get tollway photos.

Why would her Bluetooth speaker be turned on and in pairing mode. This would never work.

Imagine if there were cameras in the house.

Banfield was pretty flirty on this one... Only I saw that? 😂

According to the affidavit and all reporting the only one who was in Kaylee's bedroom that night was Murphy the dog . Wondering if the blue tooth capabilities would reach Maddie's room, Xana's room, or beyond if the killer wasn't actually ever in Kaylee's bedroom.

I cant believe she said “ Muah chefs kiss” … I cant

I was listening to the audio of the screams and I thought I heard ‘That is Bryan’

I wonder how much his parents knew about him? The father had to have realized that everyone was looking for the Elantra when they took their little road trip.

It's so sad seeing Murphy the dog with the girls smh, he must've been so stressed that night, and he must miss them so much. May they all rest in peace🙏.

They're likely referring to the speaker LE was commenting on when they appeared by the sliding door for the Aug 16 noise complaint.

Idk why no one has ever mentioned this, does no one see how dirty his car was when pulled over or am I the only one?! The outside of his car was totally filthy ..dirty..even when the cop went up to the window..n look at the back of it…kids keep their cars clean …what kind of dirt road was this guy on???

Can we even trust you anymore??

But we were also told Kaylee had moved out and her things weren’t there so how are you going to say Kaylee had a Bluetooth speaker in her room? She had nothing in her room she was only staying the night that’s why she was in Maddie’s bed.

If this and if that is not news.

Man we're really reaching for some new info in this case i guess lol😁

Lots of double talk. No information.

This woman is so cringe. Chef's kiss?

Wonderful communication!

The host has a crush on Clark - I do too; he is distractingly handsome. Had to watch it twice to actually listen to him. She is head over heals and I’m here for it. And yes I know there were four (4) brutally savage murders. It was terrible.

Well we know he won’t take the stand because of his weird personality. He creeps out just about everyone he meets
