Live Feeds: Demolition of home in Idaho murders | King Road house being demolished |  

Destroying a crime scene before trial should be illegal.

Tearing the house down before a trial has to be the dumbest decision ever.

Shame on the University 😡. Reprehensible!!!

I'm disgusted by the University of Idaho. This act shows they care more about their reputation than their students. Keeping it up for one more semester in order to assist in justice for their 4 students was not worth it to them. That is despicable! Shame on them. As a mother of 5, whose kids and nieces/nephews are looking at colleges, I wouldn't feel comfortable sending my babies there.

What a huge slap to the victims and victims parents faces.....to tear this house down in 20 minutes. This is a huge dishonor on so many levels...so very sad...

Getting rid of the crime scene as the case is open, wow

SHAME on the University!!!!!

They should have waited until after the trial was over!!

I can't believe that the school thinks this will disappear with the house, this is disgusting

These are supposed to be educated people , but this is the stupidest decision they are making, it’s upsetting.

RECREATING the Crime Scene digitally 100% Definitely does NOT REPLACE being there, & that is the shame of this!!!!

Just seeing an empty lot will bring back all the memories. So tearing the house down really doesn’t accomplish what the university said they were trying to do.

SHAME ON UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

Whole world is watching (Scotland, UK) and we are disgusted at this university. I hope whoever made this decision never has to face anything like those students and their families

As a Death Penalty Juror all this is a gross mistake. College = money. They couldn't give a rat's for justice. Shame on this University. Know if your son or daughter has a problem there they are just out to cover their own buns. The fact you have a fully intact crime scene in a Death Penalty case and tear it down before the end of trial is a huge advantage for defence. What are they hiding? Totally incompetence? Sorry to the 2 families that fought this. As a juror there is nothing like visiting a preserved crime scene to understand exactly by standing in the victims foot steps to the use the facts what happened. VR you have to be kidding. This is so wrong it can never be right.

Killing the house where the kids took their last breath before a trial. Just wrong!

Sad! - Shame! Shame! Shame!!! On The University! Prosecutors! & Law Enforcement! 😢😡😡😡😡😡😡

I signed the petition so they wouldn't pull the house down till after the court case. This is so heartbreaking. Much love to everyone reading this from the 🇬🇧 uk xxx Great channel.

This made me very emotional. I cannot imagine how the families must feel. There was once so much life in this home. Heartbreaking.

Corruption is rampant. God give the parents peace. 😢

The jury had every right to see that house. What are they hiding?

I never heard before of evidence being destroyed before a trial. Unbelievable. They had the audacity of doing it. Total infuriation with this guy, Cumer Scott Green: An American businessman and academic administrator serving as the 19th president of the University of Idaho in Moscow.

Tearing down that house is absolutely absurd!!! No matter what, no one is going to forget whether the house is there or not so that is such a bull crap excuse!! This is such an injustice to Kaylee, Maddie, Xana, and Ethan!! Makes me sick!! Idk how the leaders of that college can sleep at night knowing what they've done!!!!

Feels like those kids are “gone”. On a whole other level now. Not only died there but loved and lived there. So overwhelmingly sad.

No, destroying this house is making everyone angry. It is not healing. Leave it alone until the murderer is in prison for life without parole. No demolition. It is feeling like the victims’ lives didn’t matter, destroying the evidence scene. Outrageous!

Absolutely horrible. How could they go ahead with this, KNOWING the families want to keep it up- at least until the trial is over.

BOYCOTT UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO. they just showed how much they care about justice They ignored the pleas of the families .

It's rediculous that this trial is being delayed for so long! The families deserve so much more!

I understand it (house) being very difficult to see, but if I were a juror, I would feel having it available would be very important. You can't hear sounds, feel steps, get a feel of distance of seeing "the intruder" by DM, etc., on a model of the house.

This is a horrible awful decision!!! This needed to be kept up until after the trial!

This is very hard to watch. I'm in tears. 😢😢😢😢 Sending love to the families.

Around the corner from me was a triple murder house is still standing and occupied. 😮

This is so upsetting, this should not be happening IMO. They said “ they wanted to begin the healing as a community “ , but healing can’t and won’t begin until Justice is served and there is no doubt on who did this horrific act and cut these lives short in such a gruesome way. Prayers 🙏🏼💕 for the families of the victims 🕯🕯🕯🕯💕 Let me retry this statement,let’s be sure there is no doubt who did this, before we start destroying evidence. IMO 👍🏼 *my apologies I was heated

And now there is a great ugly scar where the house once stood, to remind everyone where this heinous crime was committed. Yes, the house needed to come down - after the trial. Justice is the first priority. And justice might be the casualty of this really bad decision

I can't help but wonder why the hurry????

Such a shame! The university president should be ashamed! There has not been justice served. Be careful students this university doesn’t care about you or your memory. This should have waited until JUSTICE is served for these precious souls & their families. Their lives mattered! If the students or faculty cared they would get out there and stand your ground and demand justice first!!

This is so wrong. This house should not be torn down until after a trial. It just makes the university and police look guilty about something. It looks like they're trying to get rid of the crime scene ti cover up something.

This is so upsetting. The kept the Marjory Stoneman Douglas School was left boarded up and remain completely as it was left after that Horrendous MASSACRE! It happened on February 14th 2018 and his jury was able to go out to the MSD School to walk through the crime scene in November 2022! The scene still had Valentine's, chocolates and flowers mixed with blood and they could see the Chaos. They also saw security footage. So if anything the building didn't need to happen. But it did and HELPED then FEEL the chaos that was still there. So this scene should have been kept under lock and key until the Judge and Jury had gone through the house at 1122 King street! It really should be a Federal Law that no crime scene buildings and sights can be dismantled, or sold until Justice has been served! Now I can't help but wonder if the University is trying to not just move on demolition so town and the University can get back on a positive track. But now I do think that there is something the University and Possibly being pushed by the very powerful Fraternities and Sororities who are front and center here, wanted it covered up? That there will be evidence about their involvement that night about what really happened! About who came in that late night early morning to murder 4 students but leave 2 alive? The fact that no one called 911 for hours. Even after the members and friends showed up at 8 a.m.. The students and Fraternity and Sorority members were ALL OVER the crime scene. I think there is a LOT MORE going on here than meets the eye! This demolition is looking extremely suspicious now!? Thanks for covering this story! I pray that Kaylee, Maddie, Zana and Ethan will be able to find Peace once their Killer(s) is/are sentenced. This scene should have been left untouched from when the police put up their tape until the Judge and Jury had their walk through. Because seeing the blue prints and mocked up videos show how complex this house was. Plus that clear view into Maddie and Kaylee's bedrooms access via the balcony from the parking on the hill behind the house. The three levels were confusing so I believe the jury needed to really get a in person look and walk around and throughout the entire scene. This was wrong and looks like someone is covering something up! 🕊💞💫💫💫💫🕯🙏🏻

Investigators disregarded the glove and the jacket what else did they ignore if their confidence is so high on BK? If they fail to convict they can not go back and retest other suspects like the unknown dna etc. shame on the University and all involved.

I'm so mad 😡 . Why would they destroy a crime scene that could help with the case. Now I feel these family and these kids will never get justice. The more and more they drag this out the less they will have to go by or off of. Smh justice for the 4 Idaho students.

This is absolutely sickening! That house needs to remain the way it is, until sentencing! The jury should have to walk through the house. NO EVIDENCE should be tampered with or destroyed!!! This is enraging!

Destruction of evidence should never be allowed prior to or during a trial, its the crime scene and the jury needs to see it, not in pictures either

One of the victims family wanted this house to be demolished, and that family has very strong ties to the university

I never thought this would happen before the trial was over... Ive been following this sad case since the beginning from Australia ... prosecutor's never appealed the demolition ... that speaks volumes to so many of us... sounds like someone has something to hide.. and once demolished its gone forever... you can NEVER create the real thing... my heart goes out to the family of the loved ones. I'm so upset to see this is allowed l cant imagine how the family is coping.. 😢 this house should of been donated to the families affected to decide what to do... not the university!!! Ive never heard such crap for reasons regarding demolitioning the house now...l wonder if there loved one died in the house if the decision would be the same.. l doubt it.. shame on them!!

My Grandchildren will never go to this University. They care more about their reputation than their students. I am disappointed and ashamed to see this happening. 😢

Utterly deplorable act on the university.

This screams destruction of evidence in my opinion.

Good coverage, thank you! Gut feeling is that this is a big mistake!

They are hiding something if they had to get rid of it that quickly! Either that or they just don’t care maybe both! Either way it’s sickening!

What a monstrous injustice to the families of these victims. My heart bleeds for them. This will not be healing for the students or the community at large. Really very sad 💜

SHAME ON THE UNIVERSITY!!

That ground/neighborhood will forever be a grim reminder of the horror that occurred there. The structure is gone, but will never be forgotten.

I cannot believe they would tear down that house before the trial. Let’s hope that you did not give the defense their reasonable doubt “out”. If he walks, that’s on you!

How do you know that knife was not disguarded inside that building somewhere? And if it was done in daylight they might find it? Could have been inside a wall ?

I'm curious. If the MEMORIAL is not going there, what is? Why did this gut donate 1.5 million $ property if they were going to tear it down and NOT put a memorial there. Someone is profiting from this transaction. I want to know who!

Sooo sad to watch this! My jaw is on the floor

I cannot understand how this is legal to do. It should stay up until the trial is over, and someone is guilty.

So much wrong with this on a investigation level. The 3d scan is not the same as the house if I were a juror.

This screams cover up to a lot of us!!!! Who does that???!!! Tears down a very important part of the case!!!

Stop attending the University to teach them a lesson.

It’s crazy how easily a machine can take down a house .

Should have to wait until the trial is over.

It feels like their lives didn’t matter. Destroying their home. Get on with the trial. Prayers for the families. 🙏

It would be helpful to go into the house to check what Dylan and Bethany could hear. Very helpful. They have been ruled out too early. We know they heard everything because all four victims could be heard on the streets and in the cameras in the surrounding neighborhood.

This could make or break this case. So detrimental.

If i were a juror and i knew this house was demolished before trial that alone would have me suspecting something is not right and knowing their was a 8 hour delay calling for help with the 2 surviving roomates would definitely have me questioning the whole situation- common sense would tell me a brutal crime such as this 4 people were slaughtered without a doubt the surviving roomates had to hear all the chaos i would definitely want to be inside thst house and hear see and feel for myself and without i could not convict BK himself because i would definitely be thinking other people were involved

Just like the Jury at the Murdock trial the jury said being there helped them.

It was an evil thing that took place, and there should be a shadow that remains! ALONG WITH ANY AND ALL EVIDENCE.

Disgusting the University doing this before the trial. They clearly care more about image than the victims

Still hard to believe that these four young students were brutally murdered…their poor families must face life without them. My enduring sympathies. 😔

Many are saying the university is tearing the crime scene down to increase enrollment. Who would send their kids to a college that doesn't care about justice for their murdered students?

Imagine it being your job to look at a house and estimate how many truckloads it will fit into once demolished. And it also being your job to detach from what happened in that house or the fact that millions around the world are watching via live stream and judging the heck out what you're doing because we're so emotionally invested in getting justice for the former residents who had both some of the best and worst moments of their lives in this house😢

I think they're doing it because they know Bryan didn't do it. He's a scape goat! 1 guy doesn't kill 4 people alone! Then "accidentally" leave the knife case conveniently sitting on the bed... Then it takes 8 hours to call 911? They're going to convict him regardless!

This was Senseless, demolishing the HOUSE when it has MUCH EVIDENTARY VALUE!!!! For the UNIVERSITY its all about the $$$$$$ as I am betting my life savings that enrollment is way DOWN!!! ~Kim

The university is only thinking about how their going to look (their reputation). But little do they realize this makes them look bad & it’s very insensitive on their part. 😢😢 shame on them! SMH 🤦🏻‍♀️

They can tear down the house put up a pretty little memorial but what happened will never be gone.

It is just a very cold decision. No empathy for the families after suffering such a devastating loss. If they need financial fees to keep this house they could have set up a fund where many would have contributed. It feels so wrong. The victims are gone and now the house where it happened. It's as if they wish to wipe it all away. They won't. You can't have healing by destroying a crime scene before a trial.

The state has a pretty weak case against Khoberger.

I guess the prosecutor feels they have enough evidence. I hope they do.

Two of the victims families didnt want this done yet. They wanted it to stay until after the trial. Why didnt the families have the say. The school and the prosecution team might not have enough evidence now

OMG there’s so much evidence in that house that might convict the right person. WTF is wrong with this city’s officials? At least wait until til after the trial!!! OMG I can’t believe this.

This house is a deterrent to potential student enrollment. The University has no other reason to tear this house down.

Love how they knocked the right side down first then the left side so you couldnt see anything as they then pushed the left side towards the right to conseal what the rooms looked like

I feel like I’ve seen gingerbread houses more well built. I can’t help but feel incredible sadness watching them tear this down.

They should’ve waited till after the trial in case the jury needed to go there and why hasn’t the trial started yet what are they waiting for

These families deserve justice & I pray that demolishing this house does not potentially hamper that bcz they needed it on the trial.

C O R R U P T I O N

I believe this is a huge mistake to do before trial and if they allowed the jurors to walk through it would have a much bigger impact on a guilty verdict. They waited this long it should have been held off a bit longer. It could have been detrimental to this case. Praying the truth is found.

As I watch this, a thought entered my mind (one of many). This feels similar to me as "burning books." Someone allegedly wants the jurors to think only as this someone thinks; does not want the jury to think independently; does not want jurors to be armed with everything that this house will yield the individual mind of each juror; wants to herd juror brains down a narrow pipeline of their own agenda (even moreso than typical when in the courtroom when attorneys "spin their tale" as they believe things went down). 🤔 hmmm? This act of demolishing the crime scene is consistent with everything else that is suspect about this case. The only logic I can think of that justifies this level of confidence is the content underneath victim fingernails. I guess we'll see.

This was a stupid idea to destroy this evidence ! All this does is leave a loophole for Kohberger's defense! This makes me lose my respect for the University of Idaho and I would be less apt to send my child there, due to their lack of concern for justice and over concern for their reputation and financial status.

That house looks paper thin IMO

So many "secrets" were demolished in that house! The local cops, the people left alive, the people walking in and out of that house night and day, and more, have their lips sealed.

Tampering with the evidence leave it until after the trial the jurors must do a walkthrough Walkabout the murder scene

Um I’m sorry, i have been following this story from Australia and even i know this was so wrong for the Idaho University to do before the trial has even happened. I feel for these 4 souls and also the families 🥺😢

Is it me or the house almost seemed to be made out of paper 🤔. So much for crime evidence. Stay safe everyone Thankyou for the content. 😌

Omg , I hope they proud of themselves, hope all the evidence is collected that they needed 👌

We signed petition to not demolish it:(

i would like to see the inside of the house, specially the view from the door where the only one that remained alive saw supposedly kohberger coming down the stairs... and people making noises to see how they sound from that room.... I think it is not wise to do the demolition. "it is time" one year later? I think the uni is afraid of the *bad reputation* not to "move on" or the "grim reminder". The crews from the news aren't there because it is really cold?? it is VERY TELLING they are there to demolish no matter the sheer cold there is... that is very very telling. They want to get that house out of there. The uni don't want people to link them to those murders.

Yeah they are definitely trying to cover something up... When has any state ever demolished a crime scene right before trial ? They are either trying to hid something for his case paid for by his parents or they are trying to cover up for the only girl that came face to face with him was aloud to live ?? This whole this is sketchy..

The more I think about this demolition of the house how quickly they wanted to tear it down in the first place. Makes me really believe a few things. 1) drug cartels, or police were involved. 2) previous owner Knows something else about the house and didn’t want that house under a microscope. Don’t condemn me! I’m just trying to figure out why they wanted to destroy a crime scene! Think back. When was the first time they wanted to tear it down?!? months ago!!!! why????
