@Eyebrow_Matt Your guess is as good as mine. I have no insights into what Anne Taylor will do, if anything, next.

@kfixler Hey, Kevin. Do you think Anne Taylor will respond to most Brent Turvey's comments? I think she's caught between a rock and a hard place after making that initial statement, which IMO, was a misstep.

The City of Moscow recently received a letter from the FBI stating that FBI-generated investigative materials shared with Moscow Police remain FBI property and are not authorized for public distribution outside participating agencies. #EWUMedia #MoscowID #PublicRecords #FBI #BryanKohberger

The parents of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the #Idaho4, launched a nonprofit to privately fund using advanced forensic DNA like that caught #BryanKohberger on cold cases. It's called Murder Has a Name and includes @NancyGrace and @chrishansen on their board. idahostatesman.com/news/northwest…

New: The investigation into suspected leaks in the #Idaho4 murder case against #BryanKohberger to @DatelineNBC is active and ongoing, sources familiar with the inquiry tell me and the @IdahoStatesman. The culprit(s) could face contempt of court charges. idahostatesman.com/news/local/cri…
