To the people in the back who aren’t aware, surviving roommate and State’s “star witness," Dylan Mortensen, did NOT identify Bryan Kohberger as the suspect in the Idaho 4 murders when she saw his photo after his arrest. In fact, almost the entire time leading up to Bryan’s arrest on 12/30/22, Dylan believed it was Jack Showalter ("Hoodie Guy") who committed the murders, a fellow student and neighbor of the victims. Since she knew exactly who Jack was and what he looked like, her belief that he was the killer also meant accepting that he could have been the masked man she allegedly saw the night of the murders. She never explicitly said Jack was the masked man, but if she believed with certainty he was the killer, then by implication she had already reconciled his appearance with the person she reported seeing in the house. In her 12/30 interview after Bryan was arrested, investigators asked who she thought murdered her friends, and she answered quite assuredly and without hesitation, "Oh, Jack Showalter." Dylan then explained that during her most recent conversation with the FBI, they had told her Showalter was not the suspect because "he had been cooperative and blah, blah, blah." Her reaction, in an almost disappointed tone, was, "Oh shit, well I guess it wasn't him..." Dylan also explained that after seeing the video of Jack walking with Maddie and Kaylee, she thought, "Shit, well maybe he's not the guy because he's walking with them." She went on to say that if it wasn’t Jack, then it had to have been a University of Idaho student who knew the victims, knew the layout of the house, and knew which roommates occupied which rooms in the three-story home. It should be noted that Bryan, who lived in another state and went to a different school (WSU, not U of I), had NO connection to the victims or any of their friends (not physically or digitally), no one in their entire social circle knew who he was, he had never been to the house, and the State admitted after he initially accepted the plea deal, there was NO stalking of any of the victims or anyone at that house. At the end, when investigators pressed her again about Bryan Kohberger, Dylan said that upon looking at his photo, she had NO idea who he was and could NOT say he was the masked man she allegedly saw. In fact, she said she felt like she WOULD have recognized him if he had been the masked man in the house, and she could NOT. And yet, also knowing what Showalter looked like, she had to have been perfectly fine accepting that he could have been the masked man she allegedly saw since she was so certain he was the killer for weeks after the massacre. But with Kohberger - “When I looked at his picture, nothing came back to me at all.” Clip of interview below: (Note: I do NOT believe Jack Showalter was involved in the murders. He was ruled out by local law enforcement and the FBI, and that is not the takeaway here.) #Idaho4
