Summary of the article as it is paywalled (note, per previous articles I don't endorse the rigour of Blum's fact checking, quality of sources or writing):

- Excruciating, strained metaphor ridden intro

- Irrelevant story about Kaylee and her ex bf thinking they spotted a missing person in a supermarket in October 2021. The missing person, a lady in her 60s (Sharon Archer), was found dead in a lake in her car some weeks later. It is unclear if KG's tip helped the police search in any way.

- Kaylee's ex boyfriend JDC undertook a lie detector test administered by Moscow PD

- When JDC came to the Goncalveses’ home shortly after the murders to pay his respects, SG demanded he submit to a physical inspection. SG photographed his body including his neck and hands.

- Steve tracked down HJ, Ethan's frat brother and best friend. HJ had been summoned by the survivors to the King Road house just before noon on November 13th, where he discovered Ethan’s body. He gave an eyewitness account to SG of what he saw at the scene.

- SG went door to door at King Road to try to talk to and question neighbours about what they saw/ heard.

- SG is furious about delays to the trial and because he has not been told details by LE/ prosecution he has continued his own investigations into the crimes; at first to be sure LE had the right person, later to fill in all details.

- SG hired a private investigator. They received what turned out to be fake tip off from a "jail house snitch", likely an attempted financial con.

- SG received what claimed to be security video from King Road area showing Kohberger was not alone. He hired a professional videographer to analyse it - it was faked. Another video was obtained which claimed to show a car speeding away from a street adjacent to King Road - also found to be faked when examined.

- SG has been told by LE that toxicology reports on all four victims showed no drugs in their systems

SG has a contact in the FBI field office in St. Louis who, together with his own PI and sources claimed to be associated with the Grand Jury proceedings, it is claimed have shared some of the following info with SG:

- Kohberger purchased a dark blue Dickies long-sleeved work uniform at the Walmart in Pullman, Washington, not long before the murders. LE have a copy of the $49.99 receipt. The Dickie's overalls were not recovered by searches in Pullman or PA.

- LE believe Kohberger may have taken off the work overall and stuffed it in a plastic bag before getting back in his car

- LE have a receipt showing Kohberger purchased a Kabar knife online months before the killing

- Steve had been told, via people associated with the Grand Jury hearings, that the two survivors allegedly had not only been awake while the killings had taken place but they had heard everything. Grand-jury sources alleged that the two girls had been texting one another as the murderer methodically went from one room to the next

- SG believes the prosecution have an informant and he tried to track this person down. He was contacted by the FBI warning him not to try to find/ contact the informant, and that this could be criminal witness tampering if he did
