Submit ReviewIn a motion, Bryan Kohberger attorney Anne Taylor argues that a change of venue is absolutely necessary for the accused quadruple murderer to have a fair trial. Taylor cites “inflammatory, emotion evoking and often misleading, false, and poorly sourced” media coverage that has “utterly corrupted” the Moscow community. Taylor reports that their survey has revealed 70% of locals have already formed a guilty opinion of Kohberger.
Taylor suggests that Kohberger’s trial be moved to Ada County, home to state capital, Boise, 296 miles from Moscow. Taylor argues that Ada County’s population of over 500,000 provides a much more adequate pool, and is Kohberger’s best chance at receiving an impartial jury. Taylor also touches on the logistics Ada County provides, including larger courtrooms and easy access to the state’s largest airport.
Despite Taylor’s push to move Kohberger’s trial to Ada County, it’s ultimately up to the judge to decide if a change of venue is appropriate, and where the trial should move. Taylor could wind up with a much more conservative jury than would have been found in the college town where the crimes took place. Elmore County is home to Mountain Home Air Force Base, and Ada County actually encompasses Gowen Field, an Idaho Air National Guard base.
Prosecutors have until August 12th to challenge the change of venue motion. Defense attorneys will then have a chance to submit another rebuttal. Both sides will make their arguments in front of the judge on August 29th. Anne Taylor plans to call four witnesses including trial consultant, Dr. Bryan Edelman, who was allowed to complete his survey process. Judge Judge will decide if and where the case will move, and whether or not he will go with it. In the case that Judge withdraws, the Supreme Court will choose a new judge to preside over the case.

Sterns complain his bed mat is flat with very little cushion left, his cell is small and filthy, and he claims there are spots on the wall that appear to be bloody fingerprints.
It is emails from Sterns' mother that contains shocking information as she encouraging him to tell the truth.Sterns' mother believes other people are involved in the murder of Maddie and she tells her son to stop protecting these people. Knowing the emails are not private and protected, Sterns mother alludes to a woman being involved in the case saying she is quote "disgusted that she is free and you are not when this is not all your fault."
Some of the emails between Stephan Sterns and his mother seem a bit heavy handed, trying to make it seem as though Sterns is a "stand-up guy" who wouldn't be a "rat", possibly to try and help her son as he prepares to spend the rest of his life behind bars. -Sterns mother says " 'I keep thinking about how you would not ever rat out a friend,' and later adds, "It really made me mad and I felt like you valued them over us when you let them get away with stuff. Don't be doing that again."
Sterns mother says things like, " 'We all know [redacted] was heavily involved in this and I am disgusted that she is free and you are not when this is not all your fault!! 'You need to think about yourself more and her less. She sure isn't thinking of you and how she can help you right now. That whole family is willing to stay quiet and let you take the fall for everything.'

On the way to Bridgerton City Park in southern New Jersey, Noema Alavez Perez takes her children, Dulce Maria Alavez, 5, and her 3-year-old brother to get ice cream.
Once at the park, the children play on the swings as Noema is in her car about 30 yards away helping her sister with homework on the phone. Seeing her son crying by the swings, Perez walks toward him to find out what is going on and finds someone has thrown his ice cream on the ground, noticing Dulce is not on the swings with her brother.
No longer concerned about her sons' ice cream, Noema Perez begins scanning the park for Dulce.
Noema Alavez Perez was about 30 yards away from her children playing on swings in the park, and when she couldn't find Dulce for a few minutes, she thought her daughter was hiding, trying to be funny. Dulce has never run off before, but Perez doesn't see her anywhere in the park.
Asking everyone standing near the basketball court if they have seen Dulce Maria Alavez, she hears several stories of the 5-year-old running behind houses with two different men and another child. Living every parent's biggest nightmare, Perez calls 911 to report her daughter missing in the park.

Arriving home from running errands, Christopher Scholtes notices his two-year-old daughter, Parker, is asleep in her car seat. Rather than disturbing her by waking her up to go inside the house, the Arizona father of three leave the toddler in the vehicle with the air conditioner running. Scholtes knows from previous experience with his Acura MDX the air conditioner and vehicle will run for about 30 minutes before shutting off automatically.
Wife, Dr. Erika Scholtes, arrives home just aft 4PM. She sees her 5- and 9-year-old daughters and asks husband, Chris, "where is Parker"? Christopher Scholtes first begins looking in the rooms of the house, then darts outside, where he realizes he left Parker in the Accura. The vehicle is off, the air conditioner is not running, the outside temperature is over 109 degrees and Parker Scholtes is taken out of the car, unresponsive, strapped in her child restraint system.
When first responders arrive at the scene, the outside temperature is over 109 degrees. The toddler is transported to the Banner University Medical Center, the same hospital her mother works as an anesthesiologist. Unable to resuscitate the 2-year-old, Parker Scholtes is pronounced dead at 4:58 p.m.
Investigators locate surveillance footage from a neighbor and watch as Chris Scholtes arrives home at 12:53 PM, not the 2:30 PM time Scholtes told them earlier. Scholtes is seen on video walking into the house alone and is not seen on video coming back out of the house again until after his wife, Dr. Erika Scholtes, arrives home.
Investigators conduct forensic interviews with the other children and find out that their father leaves all three of them in the car alone, regularly. It is the children that tell investigators that during the time Parker was left in the car, their father was distracted "playing his game" and "putting his food away".
