Bryan Kohberger\u2019s plea deal left several burning questions unanswered about the final moments of the four University of Idaho students he butchered to death, an ex-FBI agent said in the latest episode of \u201cPod Force One.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Chris Whitcomb told \u201cPod Force One\u201d host Miranda Devine that a vacuum of evidence was left behind in Kohberger\u2019s quadruple homicide case when the convicted killer took a plea deal last July \u2014 dodging a much-anticipated trial and skirting the death penalty. <\/p>\n

Whitcomb\u2019s book, \u201cBroken Plea: The Explosive Search for the Truth Behind the Idaho Murders,\u201d released in late April, details the overlooked inconsistencies in the November 2022 murders through court records, investigative timelines and witness statements.<\/p>\n

Among the questions that remain in the closed case was how Kohberger, now 31, managed to enter the off-campus home in Moscow and brutally knife Kaylee Goncalves,\u00a0Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen to death within the timeframe of five minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timeline, depending on what the prosecution says at any given time during the course of this, is probably somewhere less than five minutes, maybe less than four minutes, and that\u2019s pretty hard to understand,\u201d said Whitcomb, who spent 15 years as an elite FBI Hostage Rescue Team Sniper.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, you ask those questions, he went into the house, he went to the third floor, he found two women in bed, committed two horrific murders, went downstairs, went to another part of the house, committed two more horrific murders, somehow got back to his car, drove his car around, \u201d Whitcomb said. <\/p>\n

The former agent, who also penned the 2001 book \u201cCold Zero,\u201d also raised questions about a lack of blood or DNA inside Kohberger\u2019s car or apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf all of this happened in less than four minutes, and this person is soaked in blood from these horrific crimes, how did he get out of the house? He tracked it [blood] all over the house, how once he left the house, was it not found anywhere outside?\u201d Whitcomb asked. <\/p>\n

He said the anomaly is only explainable if the\u00a0former Ph.D. criminology student had somehow ditched his clothes and gotten into his car naked.<\/p>\n

Whitcomb also claimed that Chapin, 20, was found with hair in his hand that did not appear to match Kohberger\u2019s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Ethan died in bed, he had human hair \u2026 in what appeared to be a closed fist that had relaxed slightly,\u201d Whitcomb described. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey found it to be about six inches in length, and that it was dark blonde, light brown with reddish tint. Bryan Kohberger\u2019s hair doesn\u2019t fit any of those characteristics.\u201d<\/p>\n

More of the same hair was found by a defense expert in blood on a bedframe two years after the murders, he said. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt was never even taken as evidence by authorities and tested at all, ever,\u201d the intelligence expert alleged. <\/p>\n
