An extremely thin alibi for four murders

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bryan Kohlberger has been charged with the November 13, 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students in Moscow. An article by Katherine Donlevy at the New York Post on April 18, 2024 is titled Bryan Kohlberger’s lawyers offer new alibi for accused murderer’s whereabouts on night of killings. They claimed cell phone data will show he was elsewhere. But that assumes his cell phone was in the car while he was out driving alone – which may not be true.

 

Another article by Jenna Sundel at Newsweek on May 1, 2024 titled Bryan Kohlberger: 6 Key Updates in the Case added that the prosecution said it also was not an alibi because the Defendant's cell phone stopped reporting to the cellular network before the homicides and continued not reporting until after the homicides.

   

That alibi claim reminded me of some lyrics from a 2022 Drive-By Truckers song, The Driver:

 

“…Used to go out driving, sometimes late into the night
Trying to make sense of the pieces of my life
Still young enough to not know how the puzzle fit together
Nothing to fall back on but a knife”
