In the investigation of the murders of four University of Idaho students, investigators obtained a search warrant targeting the Pullman, Washington apartment of Bryan Kohberger (then a doctoral student at Washington State University). The warrant laid out probable cause that Kohberger committed first-degree murder and burglary, citing evidence that included a knife sheath bearing his DNA found at the crime scene, location data placing his phone near the victims' residence on the night of the killings, and other digital-device usage and search history consistent with premeditation.The warrant authorized searches of his apartment and digital devices for items such as dark clothing, knives, receipts, GPS/location data, and various data compilations (emails, text messages, social-media activity) from August 21 to November 14 2022. Investigators believed evidence of the crime would remain at his residence, including weapons, trace biological material, or planning documentation. The warrant also sought access to his office at WSU. The documents underscore how the investigation integrated traditional forensic evidence (DNA, blood spatter) with digital forensics (device metadata, location logs) to build the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

There's a golf course in Pullman where dreams tend to get spoken into existence.That's where a young Luke Falk once told his dad, “I want to do what Wayne Dyer does. I want to write books, speak, and help people live to their full potential.”He hadn't even started a full season yet.Today's guest on Y-Option, fueled by 76 — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat, is Luke Falk — the former Washington State walk-on turned Pac-12's all-time passing leader and NFL QB, who's now the author of The Mind Strength Playbook. I have called a handful of games when Luke was the signal caller for WSU and as an ‘Honorary Coug' I've always felt like the edge that is curated in Pullman is something unique. Luke's edge was cultivated by Mike Leach and the style in which Coach Leach taught Luke left an imprint on the QB.When Mike Leach told him, “Play with house money,” Luke didn't fully get it.But Coach Leach was right — freedom creates flow. The moment you stop gripping outcomes so tight, you play loose again. You stop chasing approval and start trusting preparation.That idea anchors his new book, The Mind Strength Playbook: Master your Mind, Elevate Your Game, learning to train the mind the way athletes train their bodies. It's not therapy — it's prehab for your thoughts. He calls it mind strength — a daily discipline of clearing, visualizing, and forgiving so the real you can compete freely.Luke was an elite player, rising coach who has recently transitioned to his life's calling. Our conversation is one that will leave you curious, reflective and for the fans of Luke Falk over the years, extremely proud. For Luke, it's more than football. It's about the evolution from playing scared to playing free. From needing validation to giving yourself permission.Because when you stop playing for approval and start playing with house money, life — and the game — open up again.You can grab Luke's book, The Mind Strength Playbook, on Amazon or through his link supporting Hilinski's Hope.Much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

On today' Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy Jim Moore joins Puck from the Tri-Mountain golf course outside of Vancouver, Washington on his way up to Seattle.  Puck and Jim discuss tonight's pivotal game three between Seattle and Toronto. Both Puck and Jim are real confident that Seattle can pull off the sweep with them having the advantage in the pitching matchups the next two days.  “Inside Pitch” with Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times, joins Puck to preview a HUGE game three with the Mariners leading 2-0.   George Kirby gets the ball tonight and Puck and Divish talk about what allows him to rise to the occasion in the postseason. They also discuss Bryce Miller's game one performance, which allows Dan Wilson to have his bullpen at full strength.  With the Mariners having the pitching advantage in game three and game four, it is highly realistic the Mariners can sweep Toronto.   What is the status of Bryan Woo?  Divish updates the latest on the Mariners best pitcher. Puck then switches gears to talk Seahawks, “Inside the Bloody Trenches” with Rob Staton from SeahawksDraftBlog.comand they chat about the Seahawks defensive performance last week against Jacksonville and what a turnaround it was from the Tampa Bay game.  The running game continues to be an issue, why?  Rob discusses a story he wrote about potential trade targets for Seattle and Puck reacts to the names and one in particular catches his eye! Over to college football as Puck gives you “Old Crimson” Light, a five minute portion of his weekly Washington State Cougars podcast with Jim and former All-American safety Paul Sorensen as they look back to the Cougs near win at Ole Miss and look ahead to their matchup against Virginia. Lastly, Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”   Time for the Mariners to quickly finish the job against Toronto (1:00) Puck and Jim (28:36) Inside Pitch with Ryan Divish, Seattle Times (41:03) Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.com (1:04:38) Old Crimson” with Paul Sorensen and the Go-2-Guy (1:10:41) “Hey, What the Puck!” 

Puck, Jim Moore and Paul Sorensen react to the Cougs near win at Ole Miss.  Paul was at Ole Miss and tells Puck and Jim what the experience was like.  They all agree that the Cougs were the better team, but just couldn't do enough to win the game.  They also discuss the running back situation and they all agree that Kirby Vorhees deserves the bulk of the carries moving forward.  With six games remaining, what is the goal in terms of wins for the Cougs to finish off the season?

On Tuesday's   Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is under the weather to start Tuesday's show, but is pushing through because the Mariners have moved one step closer to the World Series with a game two win at Toronto.  So many heroes for game two, but the postseason storyline continues to be Jorge Polanco and his 2025 turnaround. The bullpen was fantastic again being led by Eduard Bazardo!  The show pivots to college football as John Canzano from JohnCanzano.comjoins the show to chat about all the recent firings in college football with James Franklin out at Penn State and Trent Bray let go at Oregon State. College football is losing its patience. Could former Cougs head coach Nick Rolovich be the leading candidate at Oregon State?  Also, how close is the BIG 10 to private equity and what does that mean?  And, what did John learn from Oregon's loss to Indiana and Washington State's near upset of Ole Miss?Danny Kelly of The Ringer pays Puck a visit to chat about the unbelievable season from Jaxon Smith-Njgiba, another Seahawks road win and Puck proposes a radical idea.   Who is currently the best team in the NFL and why is the Seahawks running game struggling. Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio is on his way to Seattle and joined Puck from the airport to discuss the first two games of the series and how surprised he is that Seattle is up 2-0.   Jim and Puck chat about Seattle's pitching matchups that are left in the series and they pay a visit to the NLCS and Blake Snell's performance in game one. Puck wraps up the show with, “Hey, What the Puck!?”    Tip of the cap to Jorge Polanco. Just an amazing turnaround from a year ago. (1:00) Puck (10:32) John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com (30:32) Danny Kelly, The Ringer (48:38) Jim Duquette, MLB Network Radio (1:02:30) “Hey, What the Puck!?”  

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and the Go-2-Guy, Jim Moore open up the show discussing the Mariners gutsy game one win over Toronto in the ALCS.  Bryce Miller was fantastic and Puck makes the case that it was the Mariners most impressive starting performance in playoff history.  Puck and Jim have a good laugh on Blue Jays manager John Schneider's behalf for his comments on Cal Raleigh in the past and his decision to pull Kevin Gausman from the game, a tactical error.   Puck and Jim touch on the Seahawks win, JSN's performance and the Cougars almost shock the world. Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic joins Puck from Jacksonville to breakdown the Seahawks win over the Jags.   The defensive line was the story for the Seahawks and they dominated the game. However, the game should not have been that close, and it's on the offense and specifically the running game to make sure that doesn't happen again. Back to the Mariners as Bill Krueger, host of the “Old School Baseball” podcast joins Puck to breakdown the Mariners game one win vs. the Blue Jays and why Bryce Miller was so effective and where is performance ranks in Mariners history.  Cal Raleigh continues to dominate the Blue Jays.  Jorge Polanco, with each passing game gives you professional at bats and Bill reacts to the Mariners decision to start Logan Gilbert and not Luis Castillo in game two. Puck wraps up with, “Hey, what the Puck!?”   Patience is lost in sports, especially in college football. (1:00) Puck and Jim (32:00) Michael-Shawn Dugar, The Athletic (49:15) Bill Krueger, “Old School Baseball” (1:22:21) “Hey, What the Puck!?”
