#40: 1122 King Road - The True Story Of The Idaho Four Murders On the night of November 12th, 2022, four University of Idaho seniors went out into the small college town they called home — and never came back. By the following afternoon, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin had been stabbed to death in their beds, in a rental house just off campus, while two of their roommates slept undisturbed on the floor below. The killer left no weapon. No fingerprints. No witnesses. He was inside the house for approximately fifteen minutes, and by the time the first officer arrived on scene, he had been gone for hours. What followed was one of the most closely watched murder investigations in recent memory — unfolding in a town that had never needed to lock its doors, led by a small police department suddenly thrust under the glare of a national media circus, and complicated by a tidal wave of online speculation that destroyed innocent reputations and sent an entire university campus into a spiral of fear and paranoia. The investigation would take six weeks, span two time zones, and hinge on a single piece of evidence so small it was almost invisible to the naked eye. And at the center of it all was a killer who had studied violence academically — who understood, better than most, exactly how cases like this got solved. He almost got away with it. Content warning: this episode contains detailed descriptions of violent crime and may not be suitable for all listeners.

Bryan Kohberger took a plea so they'd take the death penalty off the table. I'm sure the sentencing hearing and what not is coming. My heart goes out to the victim's families

Idaho college murders: Judge denies attempt to rule out death penalty Bryan Kohberger is accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students in 2022.

Just in case anyone needed a reminder: autism DOES NOT justify murder.

Idiotic attempt to avoid the death penalty by recent 'discovery' of ASD diagnosis. Bullocks.

i do love watching true crime. One case I'm following is the Idaho 4 case. Very fascinating. My heart goes out to the victim's families. These poor kids were furiously destroyed.
