WE’LL LEARN WHEN AND IF HE WILL
FIGHT EXTRADITION AT THAT
TUESDAY.
SO JOINING ME NOW IS FORMER D.C.
HOMICIDE DETECTIVE AND FOX NEWS
CONTRIBUTOR, TED WILLIAMS AND
FORMER FBI ASSIST ABOUT THE
DIRECTOR CHRIS SWECKER.
GOOD TO SEE YOU BOTH.
I WANT TO START WITH YOU, CHRIS.
I ASSUME THAT THE FBI WOULD HAVE
HELPED WITH THE TRAIL THAT LED
MORE THAN 2,500 MILES FROM THE
CRIMINAL SEEN.
WHAT KIND OF THINGS BEHIND THE
SCENE WERE THEY DOING TO FOLLOW
THAT TRAIL?
>> YEAH, I THINK ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT THEY BRING TO THE
TABLE IS FORENSICS.
FORENSIC EXPERTISE IN THE AREA
OF DNA AND TRACE EVIDENCE AND
THAT SORT OF THING.
THEY ALSO BRING THE SOFTWARE
APPLICATIONS THAT ALLOW YOU TO
USE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO
DIVE IN TO THE DATA, FORENSICS,
INTERVIEWS, TIPS AND LEADS IN A
HIGH VOLUME.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT TYPE OF
APPLICATION TO WORK ON THAT.
I THINK WE’LL FIND THE FORENSICS
PLAYED A SIGNIFICANT ROLE HERE.
THE DOMINOES ARE FALLING.
AS YOU CAN SEE, HIS CAR IS BEING
SEARCHED, HIS APARTMENT AND
APARTMENT ARE BEING SEARCHED.
THERE’S GOING TO BE A LOT MORE
EVIDENCE THAT COMES TO BEAR
HERE.
INTERESTING CHARACTER.
A GRAD STUDENT.
CRIMINALOLOGY.
MAY HAVE POSTED ON REDIT, A
PROJECT LOOKING FOR TIPS AND
LEADS FROM EX-CONS ON VICTIM
SELECTION.
SO I THINK WE’LL SEE A
BUNDY-LIKE CHARACTER EMERGE
HERE.
>> Edward: INTERESTING, TED.
AS A FORMER HOMICIDE DETECTOR
LOOKING BACK, THERE WAS A LOT OF
FRUSTRATION FROM THE FAMILIES
FROM THE VICTIMS ABOUT NO
SUSPECT BEING NAMED.
NOT A LOT OF INFORMATION BEING
GIVEN OUT.
SO WHEN YOU WORKED HOMICIDE, IS
THAT A TACTIC AND SECOND OF ALL,
YOU HEARD THE POLICE CHIEF SAID
HE WAS 100% BEHIND THE DECISION
NOT TO GIVE UP ANY INFORMATION.
WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
>> WELL, THAT IS STANDARD
PROCEDURE IN ANY KIND OF A
HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION.
THAT IS YOU ONLY GIVE OUT AS
MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU NEED TO
TRY TO GET AND BRING THE PUBLIC
ALONG TO HELP YOU.
AND IN THIS INVESTIGATION, THEY
DECIDED TO HOLD A LOT CLOSE TO
THE VEST.
AND AS A RESULT, THEY HAVE NOW
GOT THIS MAN WHO IS A SUSPECT.
IT WAS INTERESTING DURING THE
COURSE OF THIS PRESS CONFERENCE
THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY,
MEANING LAW ENFORCEMENT,
ACTUALLY SAID THAT THERE WAS
DEFENSIVE WOUNDS FROM SOME OF
THESE SUSPECTS.
SO THAT LED ME TO BELIEVE AND I
THINK CHRIS WILL AGREE, THAT
THERE WAS SOME DNA THAT WAS
RECOVERED.
NOW, THAT VEHICLE THAT THEY HAVE
RECOVERED THERE IN PENNSYLVANIA,
THAT VEHICLE IS ALSO A PART OF
THE CRIME SCENE.
THAT VEHICLE WILL BE PROCESSED
AS WELL AS THE APARTMENT IN
WHICH THIS INDIVIDUAL LIVED.
AS A RESULT OF THAT, FROM WHAT
WE’VE BEEN TOLD BY THE MEDICAL
EXAMINER, THERE WAS A GREAT DEAL
OF BLOOD.
SO THEREFORE WHOEVER KILLED
THESE PEOPLE AND WE BELIEVE THAT
THIS IS THE PERSON CALLED TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT, THERE’S SOME TRACE
EVIDENCE I THINK THAT THEY WILL
FIND.
>> Edward: INTERESTING.
CHRIS, DO YOU THINK THAT BRYAN
KOHBERGER WAS IN THE SIGHTS OF
INVESTIGATORS FOR A WHILE?
THEY DID SAY THAT THE WARRANTS
WERE FILED YESTERDAY.
BUT AGAIN, INVESTIGATORS DOING
RESEARCH, DO YOU THINK THEY WERE
DOING RESEARCH BEFORE OR WAS
THIS SORT OF FELL QUICKLY HERE
AT THE END BECAUSE OF SOME PIECE
OF EVIDENCE?
>> YEAH, TAKING A CUE FROM THE
CHIEF’S STATEMENT ABOUT HAVING
SOME SLEEPLESS NIGHTS AS THEY
BUILT THE CASE.
I THINK THAT THIS -- THE
INFORMATION, THE LYNCHPIN
INFORMATION CAME UP IN THE LAST
SAY THREE OR FOUR DAYS.
MAYBE EVEN A SMALLER MORE
COMPRESSED TIME FRAME THAN THAT.
AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ONCE THE DAM
BREAKS, YOU START MATCHING
FORENSIC EVIDENCE AND INTERVIEWS
IN THE TIMELINES AND THE ENTIRE
SORT OF -- THE HOLISTIC VIEW OF
THE CRIME SCENE, THEN THEY VERY
QUICKLY PULL THIS INFORMATION
TOGETHER INTO AN AFFIDAVIT TO
SUPPORT HIS ARREST.
IT WILL BE VERY INTERESTING WHEN
THAT AFFIDAVIT GETS UNSEALED.
IF HE WAVES EXTRADITION, THAT
WILL HAPPEN QUICKLY.
IF HE FIGHTS EXTRADITION -- THE
ONLY ISSUE FOR EXTRADITION IS IF
HE IS THE PERSON CHARGED IN THE
WARRANT.
THEN IT’S GOING TO TAKE A LITTLE
BIT LONGER.
ONCE THAT AFFIDAVIT IS UNSEALED,
WE’LL GET A LOT OF DETAIL.
>> Edward: TED, WE KNOW THAT
THEY FOUND A CAR BUT NOT IF
MURDER WEAPON.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE
POLICE CHIEF ASKING FOR ANY AND
ALL TIPS RELATED TO THIS
INDIVIDUAL?
>> YOU KNOW, EDWARD, THIS CASE,
IF WE HAVE THE PERPETRATOR AND I
BELIEVE FROM ALL INDICATION THAT
WE DO HAVE THE RIGHT AND PROPER
PERSON THAT MAY HAVE KILLED
THESE FOUR VICTIMS, THIS CASE
WAS DRIVEN BY TWO THINGS.
ONE, THE EVIDENCE THAT WAS FOUND
ON THAT SCENE AS WELL AS THE
PUBLIC’S HELP.
WHAT I THINK THE CHIEF IS SAYING
IS THAT WE STILL NEED TO BE
VIGILANT AND HE’S ASKING THE
PUBLIC TO CONTINUE TO BE
VIGILANT OUT THERE.
THERE’S STILL A MURDER WEAPON
AND THEY WOULD LOVE, MEANING LAW
ENFORCEMENT, TO FIND THAT MURDER
WEAPON AND TO BE ABLE TO TIE IT
