Bryan Kohberger's defense team is planning to bring in a tech expert to help support his alibi as he stands trial for a quadruple murder -- namely, he was nowhere nearby.

Bryan's attorney is arguing he was out driving miles away from Moscow, ID the night 4 University of Idaho students were slain in their home. Kohberger's team claims they have cell phone tower records and a radio frequency expert set to corroborate this defense.

According to new docs detailing this, Bryan was south of Pullman, WA and west of Moscow, Idaho on the night in question. The defense claims this was normal for the former criminology student ... as he liked to hike/run in the area and look at the night sky.

Un hombre de Ohio, quien aparentemente pensó que estaba involucrado en un elaborado complot para estafarlo, ha sido acusado de dispararle fatalmente a una conductora de Uber, quien también había sido engañada, por cierto.

Según los informes, William Brock, de 81 años, le dijo a las autoridades en el condado de Clark que le disparó a Loletha Hall, de 61 años, afuera de su casa el 25 de marzo, pero se defendió diciendo que solo lo hizo pues pensaba que estaba trabajando con alguien que le había exigido un rescate monetario.

Cuento corto, Brock había sido contactado por unos estafadores, que comenzaron diciéndole que tenía que soltar miles de dólares porque un pariente estaba en la cárcel y luego convirtieron el caso en un rescate de rehenes, que dejó a Brock confundido.

An Ohio man has been charged in the fatal shooting of an Uber driver, whom he reportedly thought was involved in an elaborate plot to scam him ... and ditto for the woman, BTW.

Per reports, 81-year-old William Brock told authorities in Clark County that he shot 61-year-old Loletha Hall outside his home on March 25 ... but defended himself, saying he only did so because he believed she was working with someone who'd demanded a ransom from him.

Long story short, Brock had been getting contacted of late by scammers -- who started out by telling him he had to cough up thousands of dollars because some relative was in jail ... which then turned into a straight-up ransom/hostage call, which left Brock confused/rattled.

Riley Strain's mom claims her son complained about his drink not tasting right ahead of his disappearance and subsequent death ... and the implication is that he was roofied.

Michelle says Riley claimed the beverage tasted like barbecue ... reiterating it was not an enjoyable cocktail. Michelle says she told Riley he probably shouldn't be drinking it then.

¡El aeropuerto de Dubái se parecía más a una marina deportiva, después de que una lluvia equivalente a un año de precipitaciones inundara la metrópoli del desierto en un solo día!

La pista del Aeropuerto Internacional de Dubái, el segundo más transitado del mundo, quedó completamente cubierto de agua el martes, haciendo casi imposible que hasta los aviones Jumbo pudieran maniobrar sus naves. Un avión incluso dejó una estela detrás de él mientras lograba aterrizar por la pista.

La ciudad se inundó con casi 5 pulgadas de precipitaciones, dejando el agua proveniente de las lluvias casi tan alta como los neumáticos de un vehículo de apoyo cercano.

La madre de Riley Strain afirma que su hijo se quejó de que su bebida no tenía buen sabor antes de desaparecer y ser encontrado muerto, y la insinuación es que estaba drogado.

Michelle Whiteid y su familia se sentaron con NewsNation para una entrevista que se emite en su totalidad este martes y ella dice que Riley le envió mensajes de texto la noche de su desaparición y en uno de ellos le dijo que su ron y su coca cola no "sabía bien".
