Idaho restaurant where 2 victims worked denies Brian Kochberger ate there

A restaurant that employed two University of Idaho murder victims denied reports that alleged killer Brian Kochberger dined at the diner before the massacre.

Jackie Fisher, owner Crazy Greek restaurant in Moscow collapsed a people report where a former unnamed employee claimed that Kochberger went into the diner twice in the weeks before the murders and ordered a vegan pizza.

Two of the victims, Madison Mogen, 21, and Xana Kernodle, 20, worked as waitresses at Mad Greek. The employee said the alleged killer’s order was notable because Kochberger, who had “very, very strange” dietary restrictions with his aunt told The Post, wanted to make sure no animal products touched his food.

“The news/media should really do their due diligence before publishing a story with completely fabricated information,” Fischer fumed in a Facebook post.

“This man who wants to get his 5 minutes of fame has now caused a whole bunch of extra work for me and the investigators,” she added.

Fisher noted that she did not prevent employees from talking to reporters, but that the staff team decided to “support the families and not share anything that could potentially harm the investigation or cause additional stress for families.”

The restaurant owner added that she and her staff probably couldn’t grieve over the aggressive media coverage of the case.

“Because our phones are ringing, reporters are knocking on my door at my private residence and ‘stalking’ employees, and constantly showing up at the restaurant, we didn’t have time to grieve,” she said before giving a warning. the public not to “believe everything you read”.

“If it’s not coming from the courts or the police, wait for it to happen before judging,” she said.

Fischer’s diatribe came just after twenty-two local and national news outlets teamed up request that Idaho narrow down the scope of the non-disclosure order in this case.

Kochberger, a 28-year-old criminology student at the University of Washington, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and burglary for fatally stabbing Maughan and Kernodle, as well as 21-year-old Kaley Gonsalves and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin. off campus at home on November 13th.

Earlier this month, Lata County Magistrate Megan Marshall barred the lawyers, law enforcement and officials involved in the case from a non-disclosure order. On Thursday, she expanded the ban to include all lawyers representing survivors, witnesses and family members of the victims in the discussion of the case.

“There is a balance between the protection of the right to a fair trial for all parties involved and the right to free expression under the US and Idaho Constitutions,” Marshall wrote. “In order to preserve the right to a fair trial in this case, some restriction on the dissemination of information is necessary and permitted by law.”

But Josh Hoffner, director of national news for the Associated Press, said “the order is unnecessarily broad and broad and seriously hinders public understanding of an important criminal investigation that has profoundly impacted society.”
