KOHBERGER TO SUE? DID HE ACT ALONE? DEMANDS BETTER JAIL?

from Crime Stories with Nancy Grace · host iHeartPodcasts and CrimeOnline

Bryan Kohberger’s incessant complaints are driving Idaho prison staff to possible drastic measures. The now 31-year-old threatens to harm himself over other inmates' harassment, and writes formal complaints about his access to commissary items and the quality of his food, down to the “type of bananas” served to him in his cell. Inside sources claim IDOC officials are so fed up with Kohberger’s “diva” antics, they’ve approached several states to try to see if he can be transferred elsewhere. Meanwhile, speculation continues that Kohberger did not murder alone due to the injuries caused to the victims. Unsealed records detail that Kaylee was stabbed roughly 38 times as she slept next to Maddie, stabbed 28 times. Ethan suffers 17 sharp force wounds while he sleeps, but Xana, clearly awake, is stabbed 67 times as she fights for her life. Xana is the only victim with blood on her feet, indicating she stood or sat upright during the attack. Kaylee and Maddie both died as a result of their stab wounds, but Kaylee also suffered asphyxial and blunt force injuries to her head. Kaylee was stabbed in her face, head, and neck at least 24 times, 11 times in the chest, and three more times in her arms. Some of the stabs punctured the outer table of her skull and perforated her subclavian artery and vein, causing hemorrhaging in her chest. She also suffered injuries to her teeth and tongue. Investigators say Kaylee might have been attacked with more than just the Kabar knife. Maddie is stabbed in her face, head, and neck 13 times; in her arms 10 times; and five times in her chest, causing wounds to her lung and liver, and perforations of her subclavian vein and artery. Maddie’s septum was sliced and her tongue perforated.
