Crime Talk with Scott Reisch

New court filings in the case of Bryan Kohberger — the man convicted of killing four students at the University of Idaho — reveal a startling revelation: he planned to force the surviving roommates of his victims to testify for his defense. One of the survivors, Dylan Mortensen, described Kohberger as “a hollow vessel… devoid of empathy or remorse.” Yet, shockingly, he included her and fellow survivor Bethany Funke on his witness list. Court documents show over 138 potential witnesses and 53 mitigation witnesses in his plan.

What was behind the phone screen? New court documents reveal chilling text messages between 23-year-old Kada Scott and 21-year-old Keon King — the man now charged in her brutal murder.

Join us tonight on Crime Talk as we dig deep into the tragedy — uncovering the hidden messages, the unanswered questions, and the victims who deserve justice.

Scott and Frank break down Mangione's strange trip abroad, the alleged assault, and what investigators found in his diary — because nothing says inner peace like chaos in Bangkok.

Bryan Kohberger is now fighting restitution payments to the families of the Idaho murder victims — claiming they already got their money from GoFundMe donations.

We'll break down: Kohberger's latest court filing and strategy The families' response and what Idaho law allows Why this could spark public outrage New updates from inside prison The arrogance, the argument, and the aftermath — all right here on Crime Talk with Scott Reisch.
