00:00 Citizen sleuths across the USA are focusing their attention
00:04 on the brutal slayings of four college kids.
00:07 The Idaho College murders.
00:10 I keep imagining that they're still in there.
00:13 This is not a CSI show. This is real life.
00:16 How did the roommates not hear four people getting brutally murdered?
00:21 There's so much speculating happening right now.
00:23 Do I feel like it's harmful? Absolutely.
00:28 One can only imagine the sheer amount of blood
00:30 in order for it to drip down an exterior like that.
00:33 They could be great cops, but they just don't have the equipment
00:36 to handle a big case like this.
00:38 Law enforcement did say that they thought this was targeted.
00:42 Targeted. Targeted. Targeted.
00:44 Because there were not any answers.
00:46 Sleuthing really went into overdrive.
00:48 This takes all of us to solve.
00:50 Help. Help us. Help us solve this case.
00:52 I got an email from Kaylee's father.
00:56 The email was very simple. Let me know if you want to talk.
00:59 Because I have such a large platform,
01:02 I can get the story exposure.
01:05 You have other roommates in the house when these four were murdered.
01:09 Why were they not attacked?
01:11 They were all clear.
01:12 What happened?
01:13 You want to know the truth, you got to go find it yourself.
01:15 Where are the roommates at?
01:17 It is a huge knife.
01:18 He didn't stay in Pullman.
01:20 At 244...
01:21 I assumed there would have been...
01:23 We want the truth from you.
01:24 What?
01:25 Detectives arrested 28-year-old Brian Kohlberger.
01:28 Who's Brian Kohlberger?
01:29 And it started to take a life of its own.
01:32 There are certain things that reporters can't talk about.
01:35 There are plenty of places to hide a weapon.
01:37 Online, there is no vetting mechanism.
01:40 Sleuths put all this evidence out there.
01:43 Stop and just seek official information.
01:46 There are all of these people that are trying to make dollar bills off of the victim's story.
01:50 My worst fear is the wrong person gets accused.
01:54 People were messaging his family.
01:55 Death threats.
01:56 And sadly someone else dies.
01:58 I think we're all there for the same cause.
02:00 To help understand what happened and why.
02:03 If you're watching this video, this is the start of something major.
