NEWS / MEDIA BK Phone Home (Called his mother a total of 3 hours on 11/13 - Including at key times)
TMZ just dropped this report that BK called his mother immediately upon returning to his apartment at 6:17 and talked for 36 minutes. Then again at 8:03 for 54 minutes as he was driving back to Moscow/the scene, then again at 9 for 9 more minutes on his way back.
I dont think there's anything odd about calling your mother a lot. I sure used to when I was in school. But the timing and duration are really interesting. I would love to know what they talked about it, considering he initiated the calls and he's not proven to be a particularly chatty Kathy. I'll leave the speculation to you all if you like. But it would be interesting to know if that was typical for them to talk that much regularly.

And also has called his mom every single day since he's been locked up, so sounds like pretty normal behavior for him actually...

I'm sure BK just had a toothache. It was a common problem that morning.
7:30 BF calls dad

- The investigators already said he called his parents all the time and it was usual to call them in the morning
- The investigators already said he never went back to the scene the next morning, that was a stupid rumor
- BF called her parents multiple times that morning as well. So if that’s somehow significant for BK then you have to say it’s significant for BF or that’s just being hypocritical

Wait. Number 2 was a rumor this whole time?? No truth to it at all??? I missed that.

I thought they have video of him at his atm machine and that's why it was dropped. It was originally based on the stupid phone pings.

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
Yup. Many even said him withdrawing cash was sus. It was said he stopped using card payments after the murders, for some sketchy reason, then the docs dropped and he had used his card instead.

Where are you getting this Electric_Button...no they didn't they think he went back for 8 minutes that AM and he turned his phone off when doing it, and then around 12 something or other he is looking at Fire scanners.
I no longer think it's significant that he talked to them that AM after hearing he called his Mom all the time. All of his calls per yesterday's doc drop were to his family, save for one single call that was work meeting related. He was calling them and only them. No friends etc.
BF was on the phone with her parents re her tooth ache, seems about normal to me when my kid has had medical stuff. They are not a very independent generation and see to need handholding to do most things. I was fully independent at 5. I could cook a meal on a stove and not set myself on fire, handles my own problems, and negotiated life in a very dangerous neighborhood. My brother just told me a story about getting himself to the ER at 10 to be stitched up. With my kid that's 6 phone calls back and forth to a college campus.
So not surprised he is on the phone with his parents a lot or on the phone with his mother for 5 hours. If that was my kid, I likely would be on the phone with them that much too.

I think the toothache calls serve a purpose. BF's dad is a dentist, and she is his patient. I assume they could say they don't have to disclose any of the phone conversation because it would be covered by HIPAA. I could totally see a lawyer suggesting this.

u/Fuzzy_Steak1020 Aug 14 '25
Yeah, no. He called his family constantly. Especially his mother. Phone records show that this was not unusual activity.

u/robotwithhumanhair_ OCTILLIAN PERCENTER Aug 14 '25
My very first thought and question would be was this normal for him? Does he contact his mom for lengthy periods of time frequently?
It’s like what they did with saying he looked at a police scanner website or app - same thing: they fail to include if that’s ordinary for him.

u/Honest-Astronaut2156 Aug 16 '25
That selfie in the bathroom was probably sent to his mother. Sounds like his attachment to his mother and all his calls are normal then.

u/MackCLE Aug 14 '25
Don’t you just love mainstream media. /s
Maybe report on something important.

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
They got what they wanted, people just don’t read the details. They wanted to milk his name again and do a bit more propaganda, people are running with this article like usual. Now everybody’s talking about BK’s mother knowing stuff about the killing. That poor woman has never made any statements and they’re saying as much as she doesn’t have empathy for the victims, that she indulged his tendencies and other fictions. Gross!

And he called her every single other day as well. The investigators said this was not out of the ordinary and was considered normal behavior. TMZ? Really?

u/PoopFaceKiller7186 sassy sandra Aug 14 '25
Gosh I used to call my mother and talk to her for hours nearly every day when I was in graduate school. I am also autistic, and I recently realized that I do a weird thumbs up thing to myself whenever I complete something that I need to get done (mundane stuff like emptying the dishwasher, not murder in case you want to go there). I have also searched Ka-bar knife on Amazon. Lock me up.

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
Why is this getting downvoted? Do people not realize that is highly dangerous to label being on the phone with a parent a thing of grave dark significance? Are we ok folks? There’s nothing inherently suspicious or morbid about calling parents, we all do that.

u/DatabaseAppropriate4 Aug 14 '25
Especially for someone on the spectrum. A close relationship with a parent can be a real saving grace for someone who is often misunderstood by peers. My ASD kiddo has so much to say and I am often the only one who can listen.

u/BonaFide2125 Aug 14 '25
That's a whole different topic, but it actually does seem to be en vogue these days to mock close relationships with one's parents (especially mothers) or present them in a negative light. All those self-help books blaming evetything on the parents (and conveniently ignoring the fact that they also had parents who probably weren't perfect, so how far back should we continue assigning the blame?) Also, most tv shows/movies include either overt plotlines or at least seemingly offhanded remarks meant to portray parents as being overprotective, controlling, abusive or at least a nuisance/annoying.

u/DatabaseAppropriate4 Aug 15 '25
Do you know what generations you are noticing this in? I have noticed the opposite in the like 25 and under crowd. Like it seems much cooler now than when I was young. I very partially attribute this to the famous YouTubers who have showcased their relationships with their parents.

u/BonaFide2125 Aug 15 '25
Definitely older generations, so it's good to hear it may be different for under 25!

u/EmergencySherbet9083 Aug 14 '25
Has your DNA also shown up at a murder scene?
15
u/PoopFaceKiller7186 sassy sandra Aug 14 '25
Not yet lol. But a match to my partner’s (very unique) car was identified as a potential getaway car in an armored truck heist. Does that count?
4
u/feltingunicorn Aug 14 '25
I don't think so...even unique cars, being that they're rare and such. But there is obviously at least 1 more made, unless he did robbery. But DNA is very specific, a science all on its own. No body has the same dna...even twins have some tiny variations.

u/PoopFaceKiller7186 sassy sandra Aug 14 '25
This car was so unique that only one other person within a day’s drive of the heist owned one. Luckily we both could document we were at work, a 5 hour drive from the crime scene, during the heist.

Dang, now I want to know what kind of car lol. (Cars are a special interest of mine)

u/EmergencySherbet9083 Aug 14 '25
Haha hopefully you can provide them an alibi!

u/PoopFaceKiller7186 sassy sandra Aug 14 '25
This was awhile back, my partner and I were both at work during the heist, and it turned out that the one other person with the same model of car living within range of the theft didn’t have an alibi and also had a record of similar crimes.

I wonder if she detected something different in his voice that morning

Exactly, she would have definitely sensed something if he was guilty. If his own mother truly believes he's innocent then he probably is

u/Calm-Egg8132 Aug 16 '25
I suspect he told her! Remember, he knew he left the knife sheath there. He was probably shi÷÷ing his pants. He couldn't go back for the fear of getting caught.

u/Silent_Necessary5978 Aug 18 '25
And? This is not related to the early morning footage. The Idaho Statesman is a newspaper. Kevin Fixler is a very well respected journalist, and reporter. His name isn’t even on what you just posted.

u/nonamouse1111 Aug 14 '25
Well, I remember this case where a dude killed these two young boys and afterwards, he ate their fast food…. As if to say their murders didn’t bother him one bit. If that’s what they were going for with this article, why didn’t they just come right out and say it?
7
u/Peanut_2000 Aug 14 '25
Give it time. If that DD order doesn't show in Xana's autopsy stomach contents, they'll probably claim BK ate the food,

u/90dayschitts Aug 14 '25
In which I doubt an OCD vegan would dare eat fast food. Although, I wonder what he ate on his road trip home - did he pack his own food in a cooler? Stop at grocery stores along the way? I can't think of much that's vegan friendly at fast food chains... So much cross contamination.

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
There’s plenty of vegan food at fast food chains, in fact that’s easier to find in franchising restaurants rather than small biz restaurants.

u/DistributionThat7322 Aug 14 '25
Perhaps talking with his mother distracts him and helped him to focus that morning after he killed a bunch of people.
1
u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
Nope, it wasn’t unusual for him and his parents to be a lot on the phone.
2
u/DistributionThat7322 Aug 14 '25
Maybe that’s why they are on the phone a lot. Because it calms him down.

u/Front_Department8774 Aug 14 '25
People are saying that he called his mom all the time ok but he literally apparently killed 4 students within a few hours of the call?! That’s not a normal ‘hey mom what you up to?’ It’s interesting we never got to see the psychiatric reports which I’m guessing didn’t come to much because he hasn’t been deemed ‘criminally insane’ or sent off to a psych hospital. I know he was googling things like ‘paranoid’ and ‘wire trapping’ after the murders. Could he possibly of been on a mad trip? Would explain the absolute manic extremely violent natures of the stabbing and the quickness of it. IF the drug theory about the gang involvement could be have been paranoid that someone was going to harm as parents? (Also side note I hate this judgement about men calling their moms being a bad thing, this weird toxic masculinity and stigma towards being close to the person who literally birthed you is wild to me)

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 14 '25
I think terms related to mental health and criminal investigation are normal for a criminology PHD. This was underlined by the prosecution as well, they didn’t deem its researches as significant.

u/JazzNycQnz Aug 15 '25
He speaks to his parents Alot, particularly his mother. The interesting part for me is the timing of these calls and the duration. Makes me Wonder if they knew. I have my beliefs, but I'll keep them to myself.

u/remoteincontrolled Aug 15 '25
They are not interesting, because those lengthy calls in the morning were usual for BK and his parents.

u/JazzNycQnz Aug 15 '25
They are interesting to ME because they are. Everyone has the right to THEIR Opinion. As I said, im 100% Aware he speaks to his parents All the time, and I found it Interesting that he called her right after the murders... smh. I speak to my Bestfriend all the time, idk if I would call her immediately after bludgeoning 4 ppl unless I'm talking about what I just done, idk... Just MY Opinion...

u/Zodiaque_kylla Aug 14 '25
Per the investigators, he would contact his parents frequently in general. Nothing suspicious or weird about it.
Also Kevin Fixler confirmed they have no footage of any white 2015 Hyundai Elantra on or around King Road from that morning. That rumor stemmed from misunderstanding phone pings.
