The complaints related to the nature of being homophobic, ableist, xenophobic, and misogynistic. Kohberger was just days into his first semester of the doctoral program when administrators received their first formal complaint; 12 more came over the next three months, according to newly unsealed documents. Included in the release are photos of the apartment Kohberger left behind in Pullman. The photos are filled with textbooks, graded papers, and a refrigerator partially full of food. The families of Madison Mogen and Ethan Chapin are suing the city of Moscow over therelease of hundreds of these crime scene photos and videos of the first response to 1122 King Road. Their attorney claims many of the photos constitute an “unwarranted invasion of privacy.”Leander James says ‘blurring’ on the images is an ‘ineffective’ redaction, and blood is stillvisible on floors and walls of the home outside the blurring.

Jamie Brock and Kristin Brock share a blended family, each having children from other relationships. Kristin's 16-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, is living in the home as Jamie and Kristin welcome their own little girl. Through all their happiness, the Brocks have a dark cloud hanging over their heads. Jamie Brock, known for his big heart full of love, also happens to have a weak heart and needs a transplant soon if he wants to see his children grow up. From the outside, it appears the Brocks have a well-balanced family and for the most part avoided the drama associated with having a teenage daughter. 16-year-old Sarah Grace Patrick seems like a smart, sweet, typical teenage girl. But Jamie Brock, during several conversations, expresses her concerns, saying Sarah is not who she appears to present herself to the public to be when behind closed doors at home.  On the morning of Thursday, February 20, the couple's five-year-old daughter goes to her parents' bedroom to wake them up.  Not understanding what she sees, the child runs to her older sister, 16-year-old Sarah Grace, who immediately calls 911. The 5-year-old has discovered her mother and father dead in their bed, their bodies riddled with bullets. On the phone with 911, Sarah Grace tells the dispatcher the bodies are cold to the touch. As weeks turn into months with no arrest in the murders, Kristin's now 17-year-old daughter, Sarah Grace Patrick, is taking to TikTok regularly, sharing emotional messages, urging influencers to draw attention to what is now an unsolved double homicide, and engaging with true crime creators in an effort to get them to cover the story. The odd grab for attention is not lost on family members, who now see many things Sarah Grace has done as "red flags."  Joining Nancy Grace today: Ryan Brown - Criminal Defense Attorney; Insta: jryanbrownlaw, YouTube: @ryanbrown  Dr. Sue Cornbluth - Family and Relationship Expert,  Owner of Dr. Sue & You, Author of “Building Self-Esteem in Children and Teens Who Are Adopted or Fostered;" YouTube: DrSueAndYou Chris Byers - Former Police Chief -Johns Creek Georgia, Private Investigator and Polygraph Examiner Janice Gregory - "Allegedly Reportedly" on TikTok Dr. William Morrone - Chief Medical Examiner, Bay County Michigan; Author: "American Narcan: Naloxone & Heroin-Fentanyl Associated Mortality" Katy Forrester - Assistant Exclusives Editor at The U.S. Sun (covering true crime and showbiz); X: @katyshowbix Dave Mack - Crime Stories Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Andrew Tate and his brother, Tristan, file lawsuits in California, suing Meta and TikTok for kicking the pair off their platforms in 2022. The lawsuits allege defamation and unlawful deplatforming.They claim the banning of their accounts was a politically motivated campaign to suppress and destroy their reputations and livelihoods, not a neutral enforcement of platform rules. They also claim Meta and TikTok defamed them by making "reckless and inflammatory statements portraying Tate as a sex trafficker—without evidence, without trial, and without due process."  The brothers are seeking over $50 million in compensatory damages from each company.  This is in the midst of new assault claims against the Tate brothers. Lauren Southern, a right-wing Canadian political influencer, writes in her Substack that she met Andrew Tate on a trip to Bucharest.  At 22, Southern approached Tate with a business proposition. She says on that 2018 trip, Tate choked and assaulted her while she was intoxicated. The self-published memoir is titled “This Is Not Real Life.” Kickboxer and media influencer Andrew Tate is charged with rape, human trafficking, and more. He's now facing three sex abuse legal battles in two countries. Tate and his brother were taken into custody in Romania, where they live. Prosecutors say the Tates and two associates formed an organized criminal group to groom and sexually traffic women in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Romania. The indictment names seven women who say the Tate brothers recruited them with false promises, including love and marriage, but instead took them to buildings where they intimidated them and watched over them constantly, forcing them into debt and pornography.  Joining Nancy Grace Today: Greg Ahlgren – International Attorney-at-Law at the US-MX Law Group, Ltd. & DRT Alliance/Diaz Reus International Law Firm Dr. Joni Johnston – Forensic Psychologist and Private Investigator (performs risk and threat assessments on violent offenders); Author: “Serial Killers: 101 Questions True Crime Fans Ask” Sheryl McCollum – Cold Case Investigative Research Institute Founder & Host of New Podcast: “Zone 7;" X: @149Zone7 Lee Reiber – Mobile Device Forensic Expert, COO: Oxygen Forensics, Inc., Author: “Mobile Forensic Investigations: A Guide to Evidence Collection, Analysis, and Presentation” Dawn Schiller (Los Angeles, CA)- Training Director for the L.A.
