And you hear Dylan, right in that moment, tell the story of seeing someone in the house.
She says, I'm pretty sure he was in all black.
And she's trying to talk about what she could see and hear.
And she's trying to put it all together in real time while she's standing there freezing and crying.
And what struck me was when she said, I went downstairs to Bethany's room and we went back to bed telling ourselves nothing ever happens in Moscow.
Yeah, we spoke with a police chief who was the police chief in Pullman, and then he's the police chief at Washington State.
And he was able to share a lot with us because he had initially interviewed Brian Koberger because Brian Koberger wanted to be an intern in the Pullman Police Department.
He wanted to conduct research in rural areas.
And it was a Zoom interview that they did, and he said that he knew even over that that something was a little bit off, that he would not be able to connect with his team, which he felt like was really important.
And so he was not chosen to intern there, sort of went by the wayside.
He then, Brian Koberger then arrives at Washington State.
And in the filings that we're getting now after the sentencing, there's just story after story, and they all have a similar tenor and tone.
that Brian Koberger was a bit awkward, he was a bit standoffish, he had sort of a deep gaze.
And he wanted people to know that, that that was often the only time that he was really speaking or engaging was when he wanted to showcase his intelligence.
And generally, there's just this sort of off-putting feeling about him from cohorts, from professors.
And there was these stories about him sort of blocking the exit for some female cohorts and students.
He would sort of stand between them and the door, making it just awkward for them to leave.
He was known as an incredibly hard grader and that was something that he sort of dangled out there for his dad when he started having trouble at the university.
