idaho university students. brian christopher kohlberger, age 28, ph.d. student at washington state university, studying criminal justice of all things, hiding out, where else, at mommy s house. i m nancy grace. i m in for laura ingraham tonight. this is a special edition of the ingraham angle. after 47 long days of suffering from the four victims families, finally an arrest. standing by, right now, in pennsylvania, outside the c.i. correctional institute where kohlberger is being housed tonight. laura, what can you tell us? laura: hi, nancy. we re outside the monroe county correctional facility and this is where he s going to be calling home for the next few days at least. and you mentioned that he was arrested where we believe to be at his parents house. just a few short miles from where i m standing now but tonight, he sits here behind me inside this jail that holds about 400 inmates. some of them are maximum security inmates. others minimum security. of course, we be
specifically identify a person. and that s fingerprints and dna. now, fingerprints have been around for a long time. i m sure it s likely that they got fingerprints there. my sources tell me that they did get some good dna profiles but this person has never been arrested so he s not in the dna database which is the other way you identify a killer. what i believe happened is they used forensic genealogy, which is diving into the commercial dna databases that are out there that are available to any one of us who wants to pay the money and look at our own genealogy, and those databases have built up a pretty good bank of dna profiles through the family line. i think in this case it s highly likely that that s what happened here, is they were able to get into the commercial databases and make a match, at least to a relative. and that led them to this person. i don t think the car led them to it. i think the car was incidental,
like a quadruple murder in moscow before. this is an especially important day for the families of those four victims butchered, as they slept nearly seven weeks ago and now those families are finally getting closer to getting justice. the murders of the four students shocked the small college town of 25,000 people. it touched off a massive investigation. video quickly surfaced from a food truck the night of the murders that showed kailee and maddie a couple of hours before they were killed. police had thousands of tips but apparently few good leads. dozens of local, state and federal cops have been working the case right through the holidays. but in recent days they must have locked in on a suspect. i m told by a source it s very difficult to get a justice to sign a no knock first-degree murder warrant to be executed out of state. you have to have a lot of
i think they have enough to make an arrest, enough probable cause but they are still building their case and they are still trying to figure out motive and everything there is to know about this person going back to his childhood. my concern is, and nancy grace: we ve learned a lot about this guy and his childhood. a former f.b.i. special agent, former navy seal, joining us, the art and awareness of attack. thank you for being with us. everybody on the panel, jump in, all right? if you have an idea or a thought or a lead, tell me. don t wait for me to call on you like a school teacher. jonathan gilliam, this is what we know, this guy was very socially awkward. get this, he was so fastidious, he s described as being an overzealous vegan. to the point that he made his parents throw out their pots and pans, that had ever touched
co-sleeping. they were in the same bed with one another. and so he would move from victim-to-victim, and the blood, in this case, blood will, in fact, tell, because we re going to learn a lot about sequencing here. relative to dna and physical evidence, as he moves with this knife from victim a to victim b to c and d and so forth, we re going to have an increase asked amount of dna from other victims deposited finally on in a final victim. of course, the big five here, nancy, is going to be in a car in his apartment. nancy grace: in no way he got rid of that blood evidence. he would have to use acid to get rid of all that dna. when we return, we ve managed to track down people that know him and what they had to say about him being a bully. socially awkward, and i quote, mean spirited.
