A neighbor of the four murdered University of Idaho students has denied rumors online that he may be responsible for the shocking crime — and blasted the “ruthless” social media sleuths behind the dangerous speculation.
Jeremy Reagan, a third-year law student who describes himself as “socially awkward,” has attracted attention on social media for publicly opining about the stabbing deaths of four friends while they slept in the small college town of Moscow.
“I didn’t do it. I have nothing to hide. I’m willing to give DNA, fingerprints, whatever they need,” an exasperated Reagan told CourtTV on Tuesday.
When asked what he believed the speculation stemmed from, Reagan suggested it could be his lack of composure when giving interviews.
“I’m naturally an awkward person, just my mannerisms, the way I talk … my natural person, just a little bit socially awkward so I might smile at points that I shouldn’t, I might make weird hand movements when I shouldn’t,” he said.“I didn’t do it. I have nothing to hide. I’m willing to give DNA, fingerprints, whatever they need,” third-year law student Jeremy Reagan said.
He told NewsNation’s “Banfield” that people have been “ruthless” in their comments and that he reached out to a prosecutor amid speculation that he has refused to provide DNA samples.
“Officers came by my house today (Tuesday). They talked with me, they interviewed me. They didn’t bring anything to collect DNA today,” Reagan said on the program.
“They said, ‘If we need you, will you come down to the station?’ I said, ‘Absolutely,’” he said, adding that he didn’t know anyone at the off-campus home where the students were killed.
“Just having it on me gives me that extra sense of security, especially now where cyber sleuths may or may not come,” he said on NewsNation.
“They’ve already contacted my friends asking questions about me. And so who knows if someone’s gonna go so far as to try and confront me in person
Social media users have described Reagan as “strange” after his multiple TV appearances.
Many internet sleuths have described Reagan as “strange.”
“Why is Jeremy Reagan wearing a black bandage on his left hand? I’m not accusing him but that’s just strange. He also doesn’t blink when he says ‘No, I went to bed.’ Just strange,” one user said on Twitter.
Another suggested that Reagan might be guilty of the murders, writing that “many perps in the past have inserted themselves into the investigation or did a bunch of media interviews about the killings.
“Many perps in the past have inserted themselves into the investigation or did a bunch of media interviews about the killings,” one Twitter user wrote.
“And this guy is doing just that! That’s 1 of my many predictions on this case,” the person added.
Last week, Reagan was quoted in The Post, where he described the home where the students were slain as a party house.
“There were parties that were kind of loud,” he said. “As I would take my dog in and out to go to the bathroom, I would just be walking by, I would look up and I would see people in the windows almost every night, probably four or five nights a week.”
The victims — Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20 — were each stabbed to death by an intruder as they slept in their beds around 3 a.m. Nov. 13.
Police have yet to name a suspect or a motive and the murder weapon is still missing.
Expressing concern about increasing violence in “the West Bank” and about the approaching demise of Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, the United Nations is ramping up international antipathy towards Israel.
Israel Today
The United Nations is fully onboard with the Palestinian agenda to erase Israel from the map.
The head of the world’s largest diplomatic institution Tuesday put his stamp on the biggest lie of our time, validating as lawful the Arab theft of ancestral Jewish land, endorsing the fable of Palestinian nationhood, and ever-firmly fixing the Israel-is-evil viewpoint in universal thought.
Addressing the annual “International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People [SIC]” in New York, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres made it clear that the violence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza is not attributable to vicious and intractable Islamic antisemitism, nor to Arab terrorism or rejectionism.
Three religious Jewish boys attacked with pepper spray and beaten by terrorist gang near Hebron
By Ryan Jones
A young Jewish boy is evacuated from Hebron by ambulance after being ambushed by a gang of Palestinians. Many of the daily Palestinian attacks might be "low-level," but they are incessant, and no less deadly.
You won’t hear about it in the mainstream media, which tends only to pick up a story in which someone was killed or seriously wounded, but less deadly attacks are being carried out against Israeli Jews on a daily, and sometimes hourly basis.
To give you an idea of what Israelis, and particularly those Israelis who live in the biblical heartland of Judea and Samaria (the hated “settlers”) must contend with, the following all happened during the last 24 hours:
There are no doubt additional incidents that went unreported entirely. The bottom line is that decades of man’s efforts to achieve peace in this little sliver of land seems to have accomplished little.
Hatred and violence is only increasing. And if the reaction of Palestinians and their supporters at the World Cup to the presence of Israeli Jews there is any indication, that hatred and violence enjoys widespread support.

The MTA and NYPD need to enforce the new Code of Conduct which includes fines for farebeating and other violations.
Subway crime is still headed the wrong way, and it could get worse if the MTA and NYPD don’t enforce the official Code of Conduct.
As Monday’s Post reported, felonies in the subways are up 40% this year through October over the same period last year. And, no, that’s not just because riders are returning: Violent crime (including three murders) was up 45% last month over October 2019.
Yes, it’s great that Gov. Kathy Hochul has the state funding NYPD overtime to put more cops in the transit system — but that’s a stopgap measure, since OT is inherently limited.
Plus, the subway crime wave is part of overall soaring city crime, which NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell warned again on Monday is spurred by the state’s botched criminal-justice reforms.
NYPD K-9 teams patrol the subways.
Then again, an earlier “reform” also plagues the subways: then-District Attorney Cy Vance’s 2018 decision to stop prosecuting most farebeating cases, a policy later adopted by other DAs. As we warned then and since, this opened the door to far greater lawlessness underground: Once you break the rules to enter the system, you’re likely to break bigger rules inside it.
Happily, the new MTA Code of Conduct
— fully endorsed by Mayor Eric Adams — includes independent fines for
farebeating as well as for lingering over an hour in stations and other
trademark vagrant behavior. New Yorkers need cops on transit duty
enforcing these rules relentlessly, or the subways are all too likely to
turn even more dangerous.
Islamic Jihad says Itamar Ben-Gvir will die; He responds: It’s time to crush Palestinian terrorism.
Israel Today
A spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist organization threatened on Monday to assassinate Itamar Ben-Gvir, the right-wing nationalist Israeli lawmaker who will be the first “Minister of National Security” when Benjamin Netanyahu’s new government is formed.
The terrorist spokesman said that Ben-Gvir would “share the same fate as that of Rehavam Ze’evi,” the right-wing lawmaker who was assassinated at a Jerusalem hotel in 2001 while serving as Minister of Tourism.
It’s far from the first time Palestinian terrorists have threatened to kill Ben-Gvir, a hardline nationalist who insists on Jewish sovereignty and expelling any Arabs who are disloyal to the Jewish state. Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency says it foiled a Hamas attempt to assassinate Ben-Gvir in May of this year.
In response to this latest threat, Ben-Gvir called for the speedy establishment of the new right-wing government so that he and his colleagues could get down to the business of “crushing the Islamic Jihad.”
Richard Rubio: "Hey Mr. Officer, look at what that man done to my face! I want to charge him with pistol whipping me."
CHICAGO, IL — Prosecutors say a Chicago man disarmed a would-be carjacker and beat him with his own firearm on Saturday. It happened just east of Midway Airport, at the intersection of 56th Street and Kolin Avenue.
Moments after a man parked near the intersection, a gunman wearing a ski mask walked up to the front passenger door, pointed a gun at the woman sitting in the passenger seat, and ordered her out. The woman complied, and the hijacker walked to the driver’s door as the man was getting out from behind the wheel, prosecutors said.
He demanded the victim’s wallet, but the man said he didn’t have one and asked if he could simply get his phone out of the car before the gunman took it. The hijacker refused and said he would be taking the phone with him.
He was wrong about that. Very, very wrong.
As the hijacker prepared to enter the victim’s car, the man lunged at him and grabbed his gun, prosecutors said. The two men fell to the ground.
The victim applied a chokehold to the hijacker and punched him over and over and over again until the offender finally let go of the gun.
Then, the victim took control of the weapon and used it to beat the hijacker while the female victim called 911, prosecutors said. When Chicago police officers arrived, the victim let go of the carjacker so he could be taken into custody. The cops found a 9-millimeter ghost gun nearby but never located its ammunition magazine.
Prosecutors identified the beaten hijacker as Richard Rubio, 30. He is charged with attempted aggravated vehicular hijacking with a firearm and attempted armed robbery.
Rubio’s defense attorney said he is trying to get a truck driving license.
Judge Mary Marubio ordered him to pay a $10,000 bail deposit to get out of jail on electronic monitoring.

NYC Councilman Keith Powers introduced a bill in August that prohibits landlords from getting access to criminal histories of tenants and is gaining support from newly elected politicians.
It seems that NYC is about to pass an ordinance making it illegal for a landlord to do a public access criminal background check on perspective tenants.

Scott Norris Johnson, 60, is a lawyer in the Sacramento area. He has filed many thousand ADA lawsuits over the last 20 years and made a very good living at it. Some of them have been dubious and many of his settlements appear to have been 'take the money and go away" settlements.
He is expected to plead guilty today on a single count of tax fraud in federal court and is likely to get a term of home confinement. He is in a wheel chair and unfortunately wheel-chair restricted prisoners are a significant management problem.
His mouthpiece has repeatedly emphasized that his conviction strictly relates to his tax problems and has nothing whatsoever to do with past time of suing businesses over ADA issues. The maximum penalty is $250,000 restitution and 36 months in the can. He is expected to get 18 months home detention and the restitution. It is possible he would still be allowed to "visit" businesses during his home confinement and then be allowed to sue them if they were not fully ADA compliant. At least some of his lawsuits were based on his driving by a small business and believing their wheel chair access appeared to be inadequate.

Dearborn police began pursuing the vehicle Sunday afternoon as part of an endangered missing person investigation, according to Michigan State Police tweets. Police lost the vehicle during the pursuit but soon discovered it had crashed in a residential area near the intersection of Wyoming and Tireman in Detroit.
The driver engaged in a shootout with Dearborn police officers, state police said, and died of a gunshot wound, although the cause of death has not been confirmed.
The human remains found in the trunk of the car have not yet been identified. A passenger in the vehicle was injured and transported to a local hospital following the crash.
Dearborn police did not release any further information Sunday about the incident or the missing person case.
State police and Detroit police were at the scene Sunday assisting Dearborn Police with the investigation. The area was blocked off to vehicular traffic with police tape and residents were encouraged to stay away.
An investigation into the incident is ongoing and information may change, state police said.
UPDATR FROM CLICKONDETROIT:
The body found in the trunk of a vehicle that crashed at the border of Detroit and Dearborn has been identified as a missing woman from Tennessee.
Michigan State Police have identified the woman found in the trunk, as well as the driver who was fatally shot after a chase and ended in a crash and a shooting on Sunday.
According to Michigan State Police and the Murfreesboro Police Department, the woman found in the trunk of the vehicle that crashed has been identified as Eleni Kassa, 31, who was reported missing to Murfreesboro police on Nov. 18.
The driver of the vehicle has been identified as Dominique Hardwick, 36, of Lebanon, Tennessee.
Officials say that the autopsy results for Hardwick are consistent with a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Starting in January, 24 test flights will be carried out carrying heavy loads, with the goal to enable the transportation of travelers.
The first stage, conducted in 2020-2022, involved more than 15,000 drone flights in Israeli cities and 18 medical institutions, according to the IAA.
The focus during the initial stage was on security, photography, transportation of medical equipment and the development of regulatory and technological infrastructure. Numerous collaborations with public entities were carried out, including the military, the police and the Tel Aviv Municipality, the IAA said in a statement.
In the second phase, scheduled to begin in January, a number of companies will carry out 24 flights over the following two years with drones carrying heavier loads—including some that in the future will be capable of carrying passengers.
The flights will be carried out under the auspices of the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel, the Israel Air Force, the Israel Airports Authority and other relevant regulatory bodies, according to the statement.
“This very large demonstration will expand global knowledge by executing simultaneous flights, including dozens of unmanned drones carrying cargo and advanced drones with cutting-edge technologies designed to carry passengers. The demonstration will evaluate the technological maturity of such solutions in a controlled, responsible, safety-first mindset,” the statement continued.
The experiments will begin with limited flight tests over unpopulated areas, with later flights taking place over sparsely populated areas.
“Israel continues to be a world leader in drone technology…Israel serves as a model of a country that develops regulations and technologies to enable the management and control of the operation of multiple drones for various needs, and is rapidly approaching a continuous operating model that will enable low-altitude flights throughout the country,” said IIA CEO Dror Bin.
Nehemiah Shalem, acting director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Israel, said that the organization was committed to fully supporting all of the entities involved in the project.
“Additionally, the CAAI will promote the critical legislative actions required for developing a thriving aviation industry that serves as a world leader while never compromising on flight safety,” said Shalem.
Videotaped confrontation was used to smear Israel internationally and boost the lie of an oppressive “apartheid” style occupation.
Cyberspecialists from a Jewish community nonprofit combing the internet’s deep web were the first to detect a sinister plot to open fire on a New York City synagogue, authorities said Monday.
Mitchell Silber, executive director of the UJA Federation of New York’s Community Security Initiative, said it was his group’s discovery of worrisome tweets that sparked the investigation by the NYPD and FBI.
“There’s a lot of chatter on the internet,” Silber said at a City Hall news conference where he was joined by Mayor Adams and NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell. “One of the most difficult things is discerning what’s just talk and what’s likely to turn to action.”
Christopher Brown and Matthew Mahrer, both 22, were busted at Penn Station late Friday night after Brown started posting his plans on his now-defunct Twitter account.
But their plot may have never been exposed, were it not for a deep dive by online security experts.
Silber said his group’s analysts uncovered “some alarming texts from this individual, talking about attacking synagogue, talking about 10 o’clock at night, talking about dying by the police.”
Authorities used the information to avert a potential disaster and arrested the armed men — one of whom had Nazi insignia on him.
Brown, who possessed a “swastika” armband when he was caught, was charged with making terroristic threats, harassment and weapons possession, said police sources.
The weapon found with the men was “a large 8-inch military-style knife, with a blade longer than 4 inches,” according to the criminal complaint.
The internet saga began about 10 a.m. on Friday when Community Security Initiative agents came across Brown’s alarming tweets, police said. Brown’s real name wasn’t known at the time, but the sleuths were able to narrow down the threat to Nassau or Suffolk county, and alerted authorities on Long Island.
By 2 p.m., it became clear that the posts were not just idle chatter, and the agents contacted the NYPD.
“We think this is really serious,” Silber recounted. “This isn’t just talk. The NYPD took it from there.”
By 9:30 p.m., authorities, issued a “be on the lookout” alert with a picture of one of the suspects that cops received on their cell phones, and a full manhunt was underway.
Brown and Mahrer were arrested by “sharp-eyed MTA police officers,” Sewell said. Besides the knife and gun, the pair also possessed a “30-round magazine and several other items,” she said.
Silber said cops were grateful for his agency’s help.
“The Police Department is looking at a full spectrum of threats from far left to far right, QAnon and everything in the middle. So oftentimes they do find this, as does the FBI,” said, Silber, a former NYPD intelligence and terrorism expert.
“We have a narrower focus,” he continued. “Our focus is specifically on threats to the Jewish community of Greater New York, so we’re laser-focused on that. So we sometimes have a better shot at finding that particular needle in the haystack.”
