[Music] well today coburger made his first court appearance in Idaho to face four charges
00:00:07
of first-degree murder if convicted co-burger faces life in prison and possibly the death penalty at his
00:00:14
initial appearance he'll hear the charges against him in high school he would talk he would
00:00:29
laugh and stuff like that but when I saw him a couple years later was just kind of creepy I don't know what happened
00:00:35
it's like a switch went off and he just changed the newly released affidavit reveals so
00:00:40
much information it's about how police tracked the suspect down DNA phone records and a witness Brian coburger was
00:00:48
studying criminal justice and criminology right here at Washington State University it was really shocking
00:00:55
because of all the different parts of my life that were tied to this as a journalist as a teacher of college
00:01:00
students and and certainly as a father and a citizen here since the gruesome murders at a house
00:01:05
off campus at the University of Idaho the town of Moscow remains in shock we hear so many stories now about Maddie
00:01:13
and Kaylee and Ethan and Zannah about how close they were the type of people they were it's devastating to hear that
00:01:20
it's heart-wrenching what do you want the world to know about your daughter Kaylee this was a person that was going
00:01:27
to go into your community and make it better all these kids were going to make your community better you would want
00:01:32
them as your neighbor you'd want them to interact with your children Zannah kernodle
00:01:41
she was so positive and light-hearted and understood the gift of life more than anyone I know
00:01:46
Ethan Chapin today we're here to honor The Life and Legacy of our son Ethan Chapin one of
00:01:54
the most incredible people you'll ever know Madison Mogan my only child that we ever had and so
00:02:06
just smart and funny and beautiful Kaylee Gonzalez you know most things as a dad you can you can handle but
00:02:14
something like that you just can't prepare for and you can't fix it father that's a terrible feeling
00:02:22
[Music] as a professor here on this campus I want to know what is the motive why do
00:02:30
something like this how did he know Maddie and Kaylee and Ethan and Santa if indeed he is the person who committed
00:02:38
this crime Brian is not tried in the court of public opinion he has that presumption
00:02:43
of innocence I honestly think he did it because he wants to see if he can get away with it
00:02:50
are you hoping to make eye contact with Brian at some point eye contact's a guarantee I definitely want to let him
00:02:57
know that uh I'm not going anywhere we're not going anywhere this day of court is not just for him it's it's for
00:03:04
everybody [Music]
