Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly.
Hello, hello, hello! Welcome back to an all-new episode of Serialously with me, Annie Elise, Headline Highlights Edition. Now, I hope you guys all had a fantastic Thanksgiving, if you do celebrate that.
I know it's like a week after the fact, but I just want to say I hope you guys all had a really nice long weekend, that you had a nice holiday, that you were able to eat a lot, celebrate a lot, drink a lot, if that's your thing. I'm I know it is mine. And anyway, I just hope you guys all had, you know, time to recharge and reset. I can't believe this year is almost over.
Like how is it already December? I just, I can't even believe it. And we ended up doing a huge Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale, not only on our existing merch, but we like brought back all these OG vault styles. And you guys literally cleared it out. Like we have, I think like,
a couple pieces left which we're going to shut it all down at the end of this week guys so if you didn't grab it and you still want to there's like a fraction of time left you can do it at annieelise.com go to the shop tab but you guys really cleared it out here but that's good because all the safety kits make for good gifts we sold out of those three or four times now and we have a
probably won't do a reorder and those make great gifts or stocking stuffers. So I'm glad you guys were able to get your hands on whatever it is you wanted. Now let's talk about what today's episode is going to entail because not only do we have quite a few new cases to talk about, but we've got updates in the Hannah Koyashi case,
Brian Koberger, the girl who was charged with drunk driving and hitting the newlywed couple on the golf cart and killing her. And again, like I said, new cases we have really got a lot to go over. So let me start with this case that is coming out of Columbia, okay? because this truly does feel like a Lifetime movie, like with a happy ending though.

Chapter 2: What happened to the teenager held captive for 12 years?
Because again, she was a seven-year-old impressionable little kid. Which, how sick and demented can you be? I mean, seven years old, it is so heinous as a freaking child. This guy is just sick beyond belief. So this happened in Colombia. And this guy's name, it's a mouthful, so just go with me on this. It's Carlos Hombardo Griseldez Iguieta. We're going to just call him Carlos.
So authorities say that Carlos kidnapped this seven-year-old young little girl back in 2012. Then he brought her to a home in Medin's city center. He literally just snatched her up and decided he was going to claim her as his own. And for over a decade, he was sexually assaulting this child. He changed her name, he took her out of school, and he kept her completely out of sight.
He would secretly move her in between different locations, all while continuing to sexually abuse her, manipulate her, brainwash her, and he allegedly even raped her on camera, which makes me sick to my stomach. So when this girl turned 16 years old, she ended up working up the courage to confront Carlos about how he had, you know, been quote-unquote raising her.
Not even about everything else that was going on, but just about like how he was raising her and what he was doing to her, but not about like the kidnapping and everything else. Because even with the years of abuse and attempted brainwashing, she knew that what was going on was not normal.
But get this, when she confronted him, he locked her in a house, just literally keeping her in solitary confinement away from everyone and anything. Now, thankfully, she ultimately ended up escaping from this locked house in February. She got out, she ran, and she reported Carlos and his sick ass.
She told the police how he had abused her, how he kidnapped her, how he forced her to live with him, changed her name. I mean, just everything. So finally, Carlos was arrested last week, and he is facing charges of kidnapping, sexual abuse with a minor under 14 years of age, sexual acts with a minor under 14 years of age, and child pornography.
So far, though, prosecutors are saying he is denying all of the charges, which, let me just pause. I mean, how sick can you get? First off, this guy was a school bus driver. That is a complete and utter abuse of power. It's just a sick abuse of power. He's trusted with kids. He's literally how they get to and from school for safety.
Parents look at a school bus driver and automatically have this trust in them, knowing they're gonna watch over their kids, get them to school safely. Like, it's just so haunting and horrible. And this girl was only seven years old. I just, I can't wrap my head around it.
She was completely robbed of her childhood, she was robbed of her life, and she deserves the utmost justice, which we can all agree there's nothing that can fix what this monster has put her through, but hopefully there is justice that will be had. Now, this case is very recent, so the investigation is ongoing.

Chapter 3: How did a Thanksgiving argument lead to a tragic death?
I gotta just say, I think this guy had to obviously be going through something or just had insane mental health problems because I just don't understand what would possess someone to enter an assisted living facility and just start waving around a chainsaw. And he was intending to seriously hurt or kill someone, which is just absolutely insane. So thank God the police got there quickly.
But also, how did this guy even get into the lobby? I mean, I would imagine that all assisted living homes have some form of security or some sort of door alarm, something in place. So I just wonder how he was even able to get in. But this is what a man who works at the home said about the building's security.
I'm supposed to do a job for one of the residents, and I called the resident, and it took her about an hour to even get in and get cleared, and they brought her in through a maintenance office. Garage entry.
So this guy said it took this lady about an hour to get clearance and was even brought through another entrance. So again, how on earth did this chainsaw guy get into the lobby? He probably was threatening people with the chainsaw or maybe, I don't know, just straight up cutting his way through. Who knows? It's just crazy, but thank God he wasn't able to seriously hurt or kill anyone.
And hopefully all the questions get answered with the investigation and they can track down this guy's family, but it makes me sick. Now let's talk about Brian Koberger for a minute, because there have been some developments, to say the least. Now Brian Koberger, if you don't know already, is the man charged with killing the four students in Idaho.
He is charged with breaking into their house, stabbing them to death, this was in November of 2022, and this was a... psychotic massacre killing.
I am talking, like, with a knife, yes, but, like, I did the deep dive on this case and know it backwards and forwards, but the amount of blood and knife, like, this was truly barbaric, and that is why it has polarized so many people, because everybody wants to see justice for these four kids.
And as a reminder, the students' names were Ethan Chapin, Zanna Kernodle, Madison Mogan, and Kaylee Gonsalves. So, Brian is facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary, but there are a lot of people out there, despite him being charged and awaiting trial, who think that he's innocent. The whole reason they caught up to him was that he allegedly left his knife intact.
sheath behind it was under the body of maddie and there is familial dna match all these different things but a lot of people are saying that there is room for reasonable doubt that he's been framed that it was the officers all these different theories where another piece of you know the public believes he is truly the guy but he hasn't gone to trial yet

Chapter 4: What was the bizarre incident involving a chainsaw at an assisted living home?
But regardless of where you sit on what you think, if it should be moved or not, the defense did get their way on that because Brian's trial was officially moved and he got transported to a jail in Boise, which is about 300 miles away from Moscow, Idaho.
Now, in another piece of news regarding the case, just this week, Brian's legal team is asking the court to seal a memo because it could, quote, threaten or endanger people's lives or safety. Now, according to Newsweek, Ann Taylor, Koberger's attorney, filed a motion to seal the defense's amended memo and exhibits in support of a Franks hearing just this week.
Now, the purpose of a Franks hearing is to determine whether an affidavit used to obtain a search warrant contains truthful information. She said that she made the motion because the documents contain facts or statements that might threaten or endanger the life or safety of individuals.
She also said that the motion would help preserve Brian Koberger's right to a fair trial and that disclosing the information would cause, quote, an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Prosecutors said that they had no objection to this motion, though, according to the document. Now, what this memo contains, I have no idea. If you have any guesses or any insight, please let me know.
But I wonder what could be in it that would threaten the safety of others and put people in danger. I don't know. We are all glued to this case, right? And I definitely will want to be attending this trial next August and give live coverage from there. But this is one of those cases that like it just rocks you and it sticks with you. It's like a Peterson, a Watts.
a JonBenet all of these things it's just like the brutality of it all right now we're going to take a quick break then I'm going to come back we're going to talk about the Hannah Kobayashi updates because she has been spotted alive in Mexico but there are a lot of theories that are underneath the surface of this so we're going to go into that we're going to also talk about a couple new cases we've got a lot to talk about but let's just take a quick break I'm going to grab some water I'm going to blow my nose because I'm sick and I'll be back

Okay, so now we're going to talk about a case where I believe we've touched on this before, but let me tell you the update, because this man has now been sentenced to life in prison after killing his girlfriend in a gasoline attack. So this next case is about a man who, you heard that right, killed his girlfriend by pouring gasoline on her and then lighting her on fire.
This couple was having an argument, and this man proceeded to pour gas on her lap, then take his lighter, and then light his girlfriend on fire, which it's just so obscene, right?

Chapter 5: What’s new in the Bryan Koberger case?
They had just been married literally hours before this crash. They were actually just leaving their wedding reception when this crash happened. Eric suffered a brain injury and numerous broken bones. Other family members in the car also had injuries. But Samantha, unfortunately, died from the impact of the crash.
And in a truly harrowing detail, when she died and when this crash happened, she was literally still in her wedding dress, thinking her entire life was ahead of her. She's a newlywed. She finally had her dream wedding, her reception. She was leaving with her husband. And then she was killed. Can you imagine? Like, it's so heartbreaking.
And since Eric had also suffered a major injury, he had no memory of what happened. So he had to wake up in the hospital and realize that his new wife, the love of his life, was dead.
She's the type that walks in a room and you notice. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it. That night going from an all-time high to an all-time low. It's pretty rough to try to comprehend. I do remember the last thing I remember her saying was she wanted the night to never end.
Now, I know that that was incredibly difficult to hear because he's literally on the verge of tears the entire time. Her last words to him was that she never wanted the night to end because she was just on cloud nine. It's literally just devastating. Now, it came out that Jamie was driving 65 miles per hour in a 25 mile per hour zone, which that's just insane.
I mean, 65 in a 25, then ramming into a golf cart. It's tragic. And this newlywed couple, along with their family, now has to pay the ultimate price. The talks report also said that Jamie's blood alcohol content was a .261, more than three times the legal limit. When the police asked her if she had been drinking, she said that she hadn't, that she had only had two drinks.
She told them that she was just driving home when something just hit her. But police later revealed that Jamie was actually driving in the opposite direction of her home. So she was arrested, she was taken down to the station, and they said that she refused to take a field sobriety test or even a breathalyzer test. The whole time, she just kept asking them why she was even being arrested.
And it seemed like she was just so drunk that she truly had no idea what was going on. which is so scary to think about. Like, drinking and driving is bad enough, but then to be so intoxicated that you clearly don't even know why you're going to jail, that is very, very scary.
So Jamie pleaded guilty to all the charges, and she even told the court that she was guilty while she was breaking down in tears. She also waived the right to a trial by jury. She said that she was ashamed and she was incredibly sorry for what she did. She said, quote, I wish I could go back and undo this terrible tragedy, but I can't.
