Bryan Kohberger victim had marks around her mouth: Father
(NewsNation) — The father of University of Idaho student Kaylee Goncalves says a coroner told him his daughter had 'damage' around her mouth, as if killer Bryan Kohberger sought to muffle or gag her as he fatally stabbed his victim. Steve Goncalves shared that information Thursday with Ashleigh Banfield on her podcast 'Drop Dead Serious' as he talked about next week's sentencing of Kohberger, who has pleaded guilty to the murders of Kaylee Goncalves and three of her friends in November 2022 at a Moscow, Idaho, rental home. The elder Goncalves said Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt shared the details about his daughter's final moments. Was Bryan Kohberger inspired by 'incel' killer Elliot Rodger? 'There was some damage around her mouth,' Goncalves said, wedging his hand in his mouth to demonstrate, 'like somebody had pressed in and tried to keep her quiet.' The father expressed frustration at the lack of information that has been publicly available about the case since Kohberger, a criminology graduate student at Washington State University, was taken into custody in late 2022. The judge overseeing the case lifted a sweeping gag order Thursday, but Goncalves said family members still lack a complete picture about what happened to Kaylee, who was 21, as they try to prepare victim-impact statements. Kohberger, 30, is scheduled to be sentenced to life in prison Wednesday under the terms of a plea agreement that spares him the death penalty. Here's the evidence Idaho prosecutors had against Bryan Kohberger 'You only got one time to be able to be a victim's advocate and say what you need to say and to address the courtroom and everyone in Idaho, and they're not going to let us know exactly what happened,' Goncalves said. 'It's just terrible. … We want to make sure everything we say is exactly truthful.' Goncalves has said he opposes Kohberger's plea deal and would have preferred the defendant go to trial and face a potential death sentence if convicted. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Murdaugh lead attorney says jury fix and hidden texts could blow up conviction, force new trial
The defense attorney for convicted killer Alex Murdaugh said newly uncovered evidence of jury tampering may be enough to overturn the disgraced South Carolina lawyer's murder conviction. Dick Harpootlian, a Columbia attorney and former state senator who led Murdaugh's defense, told Fox News Digital that Colleton County Clerk of Court Becky Hill's actions during the 2023 double murder trial tainted the jury and should result in a new trial. "If she had left the jury alone, clearly the worst we would have done was a mistrial," Harpootlian said. "There were two jurors—two—who would not have voted guilty had it not been for Becky Hill's influence." Murdaugh was found guilty of the murders of his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and son, Paul Murdaugh, who were shot to death on June 7, 2021 at the family's hunting estate in Colleton County, South Carolina. He was convicted on two counts of murder and two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime in March 2023. Harpootlian said one juror, dubbed the "egg lady," was vocal in the jury room about her doubts and was dismissed just days before the verdict based on information provided by Hill. A second juror allegedly told the defense she was pressured into voting guilty by Hill and other jurors. The defense alleges that Hill attempted to sway the jury to sell more copies of a book she was writing about the high-profile trial. "She told several of her coworkers that a guilty verdict would be good for book sales," Harpootlian said. "She was working them to influence them to convict." Hill has been charged with misconduct in office, obstruction of justice, and perjury for allegedly influencing the Murdaugh jury, leaking sealed evidence and lying under oath during a 2024 hearing. During a 2024 evidentiary hearing, a retired South Carolina Supreme Court chief justice ruled that Hill was not credible and found she had attempted to influence the jury's deliberations. Murdaugh is currently appealing his conviction before the South Carolina Supreme Court. The state's brief is due Aug. 8, and Harpootlian said a ruling could come by the end of the year or early 2026. "We have an appeal based on judicial errors and jury tampering," Harpootlian said. Many believe we have a substantial chance of getting a new trial. If the appeal fails, the defense plans to pursue a federal habeas petition. "If we don't get a new trial, then there's something called habeas or post-conviction relief. And if you find that police or prosecutors have hidden evidence that would have been made a difference, you can appeal on that basis," Harpootlian said. In addition to the jury-tampering allegations, Harpootlian also pointed to newly uncovered text messages between Murdaugh and Curtis "Eddie" Smith, Murdaugh's alleged drug dealer, that may have changed the trajectory of the defense's strategy if they had been disclosed. The messages, revealed by FITSNews, show Smith and Murdaugh communicating in the days leading up to the June 7, 2021 murders of Murdaugh's wife and son. Harpootlian said his team was unaware of the texts during the trial and might have called Smith as a witness had they known. "Those texts—some from the very week of the murder—give us more of the timeline around those drug distributions," he said. "It might have made the difference in us calling him to the stand or not calling him to the stand." The text messages show that Smith and Murdaugh conversed in the days leading up to Murdaugh's murder of his wife and son on their family's hunting estate in Colleton County, South Carolina. "Hey Brother i need to come get the chech (sic) you got one with you or are you going to be around later," Smith texted to Murdaugh on June 3, four days before the slayings. Murdaugh replied that he would be back that afternoon and that he "had to deal with some bulls--- this morning." "Ok Brother just give me a holler," Smith texted, later adding, "Leaving the house now." The day before the murders, Murdaugh texted Smith, "Call me back." Within a span of two minutes the morning after the murder, Smith texted Murdaugh, "Tell me what I heard is not true," and, "Call me please." Those texts went unreturned, and around 6:30 p.m., and Smith cryptically texted Murdaugh, "At fishing hole." After that message was also met with silence, he texted, "803 *** **13 it will not go through on my phone." Harpootlian also questioned why Smith had not been prosecuted, calling it "perplexing" and "unjust." "Eddie Smith, according to the attorney general, is probably the largest distributor of OxyContin in the state's history—and he has not been prosecuted," he said. "Everybody else who was indicted pleaded guilty—except Eddie Smith." The defense attorney also criticized South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who he claims referred to Hill as "Becky Boo" during the trial. Harpootlian said Wilson's relationship with Hill is a conflict of interest and urged him to recuse himself from any future investigation into her conduct. Fox News Digital has reached out to Wilson's office for comment. "There should be a grand jury investigation into Becky Hill's conduct," he said. "But the AG hasn't opened one. Maybe he's waiting to see what the Supreme Court does." If the court grants a new trial, Harpootlian said it will be "a very different case." Since Murdaugh has already pleaded guilty to financial crimes, the prosecution will no longer be able to present weeks of financial evidence. "All that will be left is the forensic evidence and the facts," he said. "And the forensic evidence, I believe, overwhelmingly proves that Alec Murdaugh did not kill Paul and Maggie."

Apple Warning—Do Not Call This Number On Your iPhone
Do not call this number. Mobile threats are surging, coming at you by email and text message faster than you can hit delete. And as the FBI has warned, plenty of these are dressed up as messages from major technology brands — Facebook, Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Apple, above all. 'Legitimate customer, security, or tech support companies will not initiate unsolicited contact with individuals,' the FBI says as 'tech support scammers continue to impersonate well-known tech companies.' Here's just one example. An email from Apple warning 'we have noticed that your Apple iCloud ID was recently used at "APPLE STORE" for $499.00 paid by Apple Pay.' For most of us the clues are there. Unlikely phrasing and an email sender address that isn't Apple. But you didn't spend the money, and the tradecraft is a real fraud that warns of a fabricated one. It's the same with phantom hacker attacks on bank accounts — a real fraudster helping protect you from an imaginary one by moving your money. This Apple warning is not what it seems. 'In order to maintain the security and privacy of your account we have placed those request on hold,' the fake Apple warning explains. And then here's the hook. Failing to call 'may lead to auto debit and charge will not be reversed.' Increasingly, these scams ask you to call a technical or customer support number. Many of these scams start with a fake call, which has prompted Google and others to stress to users they will never call you to discuss account or technical issues. You must never call these numbers, whether in emails, texts or popups on your screen. If you have any doubts, search for a legitimate contact number online and call that. Or better still, use the contact options from within your app or online account. Again, making sure you log in using normal channels and not via a link you have received. If you're reading this, you're more than likely tech savvy enough to never fall for the more blatant of these scams, although AI is making them harder to detect. But elderly relatives and those less familiar with tech are prime targets. A sudden, surprising $500 charge is very likely to push many people into making that call. Keep that in mind.
