Murder In Moscow: Judge Hippler's Order Denying Kohbergers Motion To Suppress IGG Data (Part 2) (3/5/25)

​On June 16, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was tragically murdered in Houston, Texas. After sneaking out of her home that evening, she encountered two men—22-year-old Johan José Martínez-Rangel and 26-year-old Franklin José Peña Ramos—who allegedly lured her under a bridge, tied her up, and assaulted her for over two hours. Her body was discovered the following morning in a creek, with the cause of death determined as strangulation. Both suspects, undocumented immigrants from Venezuela and purported members of the Tren de Aragua gang, had previously been apprehended by U.S. Border Patrol earlier in 2024 but were released with notices to appear in court at a later date. They were arrested on June 20, 2024, and charged with capital murder, kidnapping, and aggravated sexual assault.In December 2024, Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg announced that her office would seek the death penalty against both Martínez-Rangel and Peña Ramos, citing the severity of the crime. The case has drawn national attention, intensifying debates over U.S. immigration policies. In a gesture to honor Jocelyn's memory, President Donald Trump signed an executive order renaming the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Galveston Bay as the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge," acknowledging her love for animals and nature. During a joint session of Congress on March 4, 2025, President Trump introduced Jocelyn's mother, Alexis Nungaray, as an honored guest, reaffirming the nation's commitment to remember her daughter's life and advocating for stricter immigration controls to prevent similar tragedies.to contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​On February 22, 2024, 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley was tragically murdered while jogging on the University of Georgia campus in Athens. Her body was discovered in Oconee Forest Park near Lake Herrick, with the cause of death determined as blunt force trauma and asphyxiation. The assailant, 26-year-old José Antonio Ibarra, an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela, attacked Riley during her run, leading to her untimely death.Ibarra was arrested and charged with multiple offenses, including malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, and aggravated assault with intent to rape. In November 2024, following a bench trial, he was found guilty on all counts and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. The case drew national attention, fueling debates on immigration policies and public safety. In response, the U.S. Congress passed the "Laken Riley Act," mandating the detention of undocumented immigrants charged with or convicted of certain crimes. President Donald Trump signed the bill into law on January 29, 2025, marking it as the first legislation of his second term.to  contact me:[email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As reality starts to set in for Ghislaine Maxwell and the fate that she sealed for herself with her actions, her legal team is already looking towards the appeal. However, some lawyers are saying she should drop the appeal in favor of naming names to try and shave time off of her sentence. The question is, what does she have to offer and will the Government bite?(commercial at 12:52)to contact me:[email protected]:https://www.newsweek.com/ghislaine-maxwell-should-start-naming-names-shave-years-off-sentence-1720162Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In Ada County Case No. CR01-24-31665, the defendant, Bryan C. Kohberger, sought to suppress genetic evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG) and a subsequent "trash pull," arguing that these methods violated his Fourth Amendment rights. His legal team contended that law enforcement's use of IGG techniques to identify him as a suspect, followed by the collection of familial DNA from discarded trash, constituted an unreasonable search and seizure. They asserted that such investigative methods required a warrant and that their use without one infringed upon Kohberger’s expectation of privacy regarding his genetic information.The court, however, rejected these arguments, ruling that the defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy over genetic material lawfully obtained from public databases and trash discarded in a public space. The judge determined that law enforcement’s methods were legally sound and did not violate constitutional protections. As a result, the genetic evidence collected through IGG and the trash pull remains admissible in court, dealing a significant blow to Kohberger’s defense strategyto contact me:[email protected]:021925-Order-Defendants-Motion-Suppress-Genetic-Information.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​In the Bryan Kohberger murder case, 4th District Judge Steven Hippler has issued an order criticizing both defense attorneys and prosecutors for their excessive filing of sealed documents, stating that this practice has become "the norm rather than the exception." He emphasized that such actions undermine the public's First Amendment rights to access court proceedings and directed the parties to employ less restrictive measures to protect confidential information, such as redacting sensitive details or using initials instead of full names.Judge Hippler's directive comes as numerous motions have been filed under seal in the lead-up to Kohberger's trial, scheduled to begin on August 11, 2025. These sealed motions include the defense's request to remove the death penalty, citing Kohberger's autism spectrum disorder, and discussions on whether terms like "psychopath" or "sociopath" can be used during the trial. The judge's order mandates that any requests to seal documents must be justified under Idaho Court Administrative Rule 32, and parties should seek the least restrictive methods to protect sensitive information, thereby promoting greater transparency in the judicial process.to contact me:[email protected]:Bryan Kohberger judge cracks down on 'pervasive' filings under seal in Idaho murders | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

​Sarah Kellen Vickers, also known as Sarah Kensington or Sarah Vickers, served as Jeffrey Epstein's assistant from the early 2000s until at least 2013. During this period, she was responsible for scheduling Epstein's "massages," sessions during which many victims reported being sexually assaulted. Witnesses have testified that Kellen played a pivotal role in facilitating Epstein's abuse, with some alleging she coordinated and assisted in recruiting minors for these encounters. Despite these serious allegations, Kellen has not faced criminal charges, partly due to a 2007 non-prosecution agreement that granted immunity to certain Epstein associates. She has since portrayed herself as one of Epstein's victims, asserting that she was also subjected to his manipulations and abuse.In the Phase 1 release of Epstein-related documents, Kellen's name surfaced multiple times, underscoring her involvement in his operations. These documents revealed that attorneys representing Epstein's victims sought to depose Kellen, highlighting her as a key witness due to her extensive interactions with both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. However, attempts to serve her with subpoenas were reportedly unsuccessful, suggesting possible evasion. The unsealed documents further detailed allegations that Kellen maintained a list of underage girls for Epstein, arranging their visits for illicit purposes. Despite these revelations, Kellen continues to live a private life, reportedly residing in luxury properties in Miami and New York, and has not publicly addressed the recent document disclosures.to contact me:[email protected]:Jeffrey Epstein left wads of cash stuffed in envelopes for 'top recruiter' Sara Kellen raising new questions of why she was never charged | Daily Mail OnlineTo help  support  the  podcast:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support
