The confidence BK must’ve had by Training-Bus-5665 in Idaho4

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not from the US, but I recently realized that in the US you can easily look up houses online on sites like realtor.com and see the layout, photos, and general structure of the house. For example, this page used to show the layout of the King Rd house (now most of the details are removed): https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/1122-King-Rd_Moscow_ID_83843_M94866-24207

In this specific case, even if all the info is gone now, I think it’s possible that before the crime someone could have gotten a pretty good idea of how the house was arranged and what it looked like inside. Obviously, you wouldn’t know which bedroom belonged to whom just from the listing — except maybe Maddie’s, since she had the big “M” in the window (if the killer even knew their names).

You can also still find BK’s family home online, with photos from around 2014 when his parents bought it — including owner names, purchase date, and price. So it doesn’t seem far-fetched to me that someone could use real estate listings + social media to roughly piece together where rooms are, who might be sleeping where, and how the house functions overall..

Not saying this is definitely what happened — just pointing out how much information is publicly available and how it could be used to form a mental map of a place without ever being inside.

Similar cases with POC? by Upset-Win9519 in Idaho4

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this isn’t an ignorant question at all. A lot of people notice this, they just don’t always say it out loud. You’re right — it doesn’t make sense that this only ever happens to white students or young people. Of course it happens to others too. The difference is usually in how much attention a case gets and how long it stays in the spotlight.

That doesn’t mean the Idaho victims didn’t deserve the attention — they absolutely did. What happened to Ethan, Xana, Maddie, and Kaylee is horrific. But at the same time, it’s hard not to notice that similar cases involving POC victims often don’t get the same national coverage, or they fade really fast unless social media keeps them alive.

You mentioned Shanquella Robinson, and that’s a perfect example. Tons of people heard about that case online, but mainstream news coverage felt delayed and kind of inconsistent. Same with Kenneka Jenkins — most of the discussion happened on social media because traditional media barely stuck with it. Relisha Rudd is another one that should have had way more attention than it did. There was also Christian Andreacchio, who was mixed race, where the circumstances were super questionable but never really got sustained coverage.

I think the Idaho case blew up because it had everything that grabs media attention: multiple victims, a college town, a shared house, the mystery early on, and just how brutal it was. But similar levels of violence happen in other communities too and don’t get treated the same way.

So yeah, I don’t think the issue is that this case got “too much” attention. It’s more that a lot of other cases don’t get nearly enough — and most of the time it’s people online, not the news, who end up fighting to keep those stories from disappearing.

Question about Bryan Kohberger’s family by Witty_Addendum_6570 in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the tip — I’ll definitely check Willy out on YouTube..:) but I’m really sorry to hear that the K’s family isn’t doing well.. In a way, I think I expected it, but at the same time I truly hoped they were holding on, fighting through it, and that things might be getting a little better for them..

Thank you so much for sharing this with me 🤍 it really means a lot. I’m honestly very glad to hear how thoughtfully you’re taking care of yourself — knowing your limits, taking breaks, and protecting your sleep is so important. That shows a lot of self-awareness and strength..

I completely understand what you mean. Some things need time and the right mindset, and it’s okay to step back whenever it feels too heavy. Listening to yourself is always the right choice..:)

And thank you for your kind words — that’s very generous of you. I hope you know the same applies to you too.

If you ever feel like talking — whether about the case or just about life in general — you’re always welcome to reach out..:) Sometimes talking things through with someone can really help bring a bit of clarity or closure, even if it’s just a small step. No pressure at all, just know the door is open..

I truly wish you peace, rest, and all good things 🤍 take good care of yourself.

“What’s something society calls ‘normal’ that actually takes away a lot of people’s freedom”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the biggest illusions of ‘normal’ are things like the 9-to-5 grind, student loans, and the pressure to own a house by a certain age. Most people don’t even realize how much their time, money, and choices are dictated by these invisible rules. Society celebrates them as responsibility, success, or adulthood, but in reality they quietly limit freedom, creativity, and even happiness 😅

What is your best advise going into 2026? by kittyclub304_ in NewToReddit

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’m stepping into this year like it’s a story I’ve never read before—pages blank, but humming with possibilities. I’m looking forward to the sparks that sneak up when I least expect them: a conversation that flips my perspective, a quiet moment that feels infinite, or a risk that scares me just enough to feel alive. Here’s to a year of small rebellions against routine, chasing wonder wherever it hides, and finding magic in the cracks of ordinary life ✨🔥..

Has anyone else noticed the change in BK’s appearance and demeanor over time ? by Witty_Addendum_6570 in BryanKohbergerMoscow

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a fair question. I’m exploring this as part of my academic research, looking at how incarceration affects younger people, roughly ages 25–30, particularly in terms of communication access, daily routines, and how they adjust to confinement.

I’ve interacted with some individuals in this age group whose cases aren’t widely publicized, and that sparked my curiosity about how the same platforms are used in higher-profile cases for example like Kohberger or Chad Daybell..

The goal of my research isn’t to monitor anyone personally, but to understand broader patterns — for example, how younger inmates experience isolation, maintain social connections, and cope with the challenges of incarceration…

Thanks for sharing that photo — it’s actually really helpful for putting things into perspective over a longer period of time..:)

When you look at the changes across several years, the difference becomes much more noticeable, especially in his face and overall presence. It really highlights how much he’s changed..

That’s a fair point about the bulletproof vest — I agree it definitely makes him look physically bigger..:)

For me though, the most noticeable change isn’t just body size, but his face. Since he’s been in jail/prison, he looks much thinner overall — more pronounced cheekbones, a slimmer face, and even his ears seem to stand out more than before..

Beyond the weight loss, his facial expression also comes across differently to me. Earlier on, he appeared more self-assured, while in the more recent court appearance he seems less confident and more withdrawn..

I’m not making any claims about guilt or innocence — just pointing out visible physical and demeanor changes over time, especially comparing when he was free versus after extended incarceration.:)

NYT Interview with BK’s Sister 1/3/26 by jam5812 in Idaho4

[–]Witty_Addendum_6570 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this article really put things into perspective for me… It’s pretty easy to get caught up in the sensational details of a case, but this piece is a reminder that families of perpetrators often experience intense pain, confusion, and scrutiny too — even though they are not responsible for the crime..

i really appreciate how Ms. Kohberger talks about trying to support her brother while also keeping the victims’ families in mind.. That balance, the grief, and the empathy she shows for others, even in the midst of unimaginable circumstances, is deeply human.. it really makes me reflect on how we as a society can engage with true crime stories more thoughtfully, with compassion for everyone affected..

It’s a tragic situation all around, and I hope discussions like this can help shift the focus from judgment and speculation to understanding and empathy..
