DM called all the roommates, non of them answered. She went to sleep, woke up and started calling friends over, LE was finally called at 11:56. The big question is why wasn’t the LE called sooner.
When wyte ppl kill they have multiple victims them some deranged people
All the so called “sleuths” and content creators should have to watch this episode.
It’s comical to me that the modern day media is worried about misinformation being spread.
Why aren't you talking about Ashley Banfield, Jennifer Coffindoffer, and all the big mouth "professionals" that are on line every day slandering a yet to be found guilty person and telling complete lies? They twist everything that is presented, but you all as another "news" channel prefer to attack the You Tubers.
Oh geez 🙄
Well idk why everyone is surprised. Some will do anything for attention even spread lies. Sad people r spreading things about a man who is dead now.
Roommates safe. Why are the police killing our Veterans with mental illness?
Oh my I didn’t know Ethan was a triplet! That’s so very sad.😢 Obviously everything to do with this horrific case is beyond imaginable. Two brothers now living without a 3rd part of their world. And like all the other vics. It was so “out of nowhere “ type of thing. Also I can’t begin to think about the two roommates who dealt/still very much so dealing with this. Like a nightmare that never ends.🙁
Brett Kopacka and Brett Payne are well trained in knife fighting and the Kopacka event has been hidden from the public. We deserve answers and openness
I can't believe a reporter would have chipped fingernail polish on camera!! Nasty and distracting 🤮
Where’s his death certificate?
He was so callous, brutal. Does he think that anyone cares? Society knows when all sides have to put someone away, which means his defense team has to double down upholding his constitutional rights.
Clout Chasing goblins ruining everything as usual.
Rumors exist because LE are lying to us. It's very obvious this case doesn't add up. It's very obvious they're leaking irrelevant nonsense to paint the accused negatively in public. Instead of focusing on getting a conviction in court, Prosecution and LE seem more preoccupied with controlling narrative around the case.
Some of the photos claimed to be 1 car are obviously different cars.
The air around Brent' death also doesn't make sense.
Where lies and disinfo are obviously rampant… people are going to speculate. You know what stops that? Telling the truth. Or at least don't feed the media lies, and the media shouldn't republish obvious disinfo w/o vetting and qualifying the information.
In other words — it's your associates, ABC News, who are responsible for this environment. You're pointing a spotlight at youtubers, but where is the spotlight on Banfield ? Where is the spotlight on Coffendaffer? They are the ones who made it so obvious we're being lied to.
Where is the spotlight on the PD leaking everything under the sun, but staying hush hush about details that don't put them in a good light?
But you're too cowardly to shine a light on those things. Instead you target the low hanging fruit — people who step into the void of disinfo with their own theories. But those theories wouldn't exist if not for the corruption of PD and Prosecution (who prosecutes the prosecution for violating the gag order every other day?) They wouldn't exist without the irresponsible behavior of our associates at News Nation.
Shine a light on that.
Get us answers on why Brent was shot despite nobody else being present. Did the room mates ever even exist ? Who are they ? Because that whole episode looks a lot like either (a) he got SWAT'd or (b) he SWAT'd himself so he could die-by-cop.
You want us to stop speculating? Start speaking truth. Stop letting Spokane and Moscow PDs act like we're in North Korea.
Those professionals killed your friend. and if you could just name the roommates Brent had I mean what was it a two-bedroom apartment.. make it make sense
Brent was a war hero its so disgusting and disrespectful. What happened to the 4students may VERY WELL HAVE triggered a ptsd response in him. It may have put him in the fight or flight mode. very sad
That’s one reason the gag order should be canceled.
This sounds an awful lot like ummmm jealousy on the part of msm. Independents are doing a better job overall. Listeners to anything should always use decermnent.
The reason we are speculating about Kopacka is the timing AND circumstances of his death! JUST LIKE the Idaho 4 case and BK there is absolutely NO info available about Kopacka, the SWAT case about Kopacka is sealed up, the incident is still being “investigated” AND his apartment is BOARDED up just like the 1122 King Rd house. Coincidence?? Think not my friend.
It definitely doesn't help all these so-called true crime channels with no life, just speculating all day it's pathetic
People that create suspects in a case that’s none of their business have absolutely no life.
Change my mind
Odd that mainstream media is now trying to place blame on social media..
don't forget that professor who were accused of involvement as well. these rumor mills have nothing but time on their hands. only idiot will jump to conclusions without facts.
Amen ❤
Is this not the same thing that mainstream media is doing to Bryan? We know mainstream lies and push narratives depending on their sponsor and who is funding them all the time!!!
These so called “content creators “ are absolutely ridiculous and they should be put in jail for a little while to shut their mouths or personally sued by these families. You are NOT law enforcement, you are a stupid, basic human making $ on the backs of these poor kids and their families. It’s disgusting and disturbing and you should be ashamed of yourselves, I don’t know how you sleep at night.
The podcast chump gaslighting his victim was sick.
So basically.."it's okay to accuse someone of something horrific if we just do it for views and money and the whole world doesn't hear about it. It won't ruin their legacy if only we use them ror clout."
In my opinion the GAG order has caused this case to go completely out of control. People want to know the WHY's about this case and WHY it is any different than any other case?. So, they go to social media to find answers, because everyone feels for the families of these victims and we all want justice for these good young people. But, this video bothers me, because the woman doing this video is actually reporting this on a You Tube platform just like all the content creators are doing and asking for subscribers as well? So, for them to put a video out here about content creators infuriates me. I feel like The Drunk Turkey Show was thrown under the bus here, and IMO, they are 1 of the best. Most of the others cut each other down, (just as this video did) when I think in their behalf they are just wanting justice for these 4 individuals who lost their lives as well.. I think if they would just lift the GAG order and assure everybody that they are STILL searching for everybody that was envolved in these murders that would do it for me. But we do not get any information at all and that leads to speculation. The media cannot even be envolved in this case, doesn't make sense either, but you all need to stick to reporting the news instead of cutting down content creators. Remember this case is about 4 young people who lost their lives and the whole world wants the right people that did this awful crime to pay for it.
As an attorney who works with crime victims and a creator in true crime/law, imo this unfettered speculation supported by no facts is out of control. So many creators say they want to “help” but they are doing the opposite and end up creating more victims in an already heinous and tragic situation. I wish some would get some real hands on training or actually follow victims/families through the criminal process to understand firsthand. Personally I believe if they did this, they would get new perspective, realize the reality that this is not entertainment and that these cases require more respectful attention when discussing. There is a serious need to #engagewithempathy in true crime.
Nah they got the right one BK!
How can this reporter be so certain that Brent Kopacka had nothing to do with the Idaho murders? Has anybody (police or media) made an effort to determine what Brent was actually doing between 1 am and 5 am on November 13. The fact that he was a decorated veteran doesn't automatically guarantee that he couldn't have been involved. You and/or the cops could end the speculation by issuing a statement like "we looked into his whereabouts on Nov 13 and determined that was doing X and was not involved in the murders"
I recognize many of these YouTuber's on the video, none of them have been right either !
You are innocent until proven guilty… applies for Kopacka… and also applies for Kohberger.
The two police departments didn't handle the Kopacka incident with clarity and when that happens, you invite conspiracy into the fold.
At the end of the day, there is a very real possibility that this wasn't just the work of some stalking serial killer wannabe.
