Six weeks after the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Kaylee's former boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, was described by relatives as devastated by her death and overwhelmed by the suspicion that had been directed toward him in the immediate aftermath. DuCoeur and Goncalves had dated for roughly five years before breaking up only weeks before the murders, though family members said the split had been amicable and that the two remained close. Because Goncalves and Mogen had repeatedly called DuCoeur in the hours before they were killed, he quickly became a focus of public speculation, particularly online. Police, however, investigated him and said they did not believe he was involved in the murders. His family said the accusations had compounded his grief, leaving him to mourn someone he had loved while strangers continued to question whether he had played some role in her death despite authorities clearing him.DuCoeur's family also said he was struggling with the idea of returning to the University of Idaho because so much of his life in Moscow had been connected to Goncalves. At that point in December 2022, the murders remained unsolved, the weapon had not been recovered and police had not publicly identified a suspect, creating an atmosphere in which rumors and amateur theories flourished online. Goncalves' family continued pressing for answers and raising money to potentially hire private investigators and obtain additional legal assistance as frustration grew over the lack of an arrest. The uncertainty surrounding the investigation left the families and the Moscow community in an agonizing state of limbo, while people such as DuCoeur found themselves dealing not only with enormous personal loss but also with the consequences of intense public speculation during the earliest and most chaotic stage of the case.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonnmail.comhttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/idaho-college-murders-reddit-murder-house-moscow-b2250369.html

In the days after the November 2022 murders of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, investigators were examining a series of phone calls made by Goncalves and Mogen shortly before they were killed. The two women had repeatedly called a man named Jack, later identified as Goncalves' former boyfriend, Jack DuCoeur, with roughly 10 calls placed between the two phones during the early-morning hours. The calls quickly attracted public attention because they occurred so close to the estimated time of the murders, but Goncalves' family strongly defended DuCoeur and said they did not believe he had anything to do with the killings. They explained that Goncalves and DuCoeur had remained close despite recently ending their long-term relationship and said the calls were not unusual in the context of their relationship.At that stage of the investigation, authorities had not identified a suspect, recovered the murder weapon or publicly explained exactly what had happened inside the King Road house, leaving a vacuum that was rapidly filled by speculation. Police said they were aware of the calls and were looking into everyone connected to the victims, but they ultimately said they did not believe DuCoeur was involved. The intense focus on him illustrated how quickly friends, acquaintances and former partners of the victims became subjects of public suspicion while investigators were still working through evidence and interviews. With no arrest yet made and few concrete answers available, the case remained highly fluid, and details such as the late-night calls took on outsized significance even though they did not ultimately establish DuCoeur as a suspect in the murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11447075/Two-female-Idaho-students-four-killed-phoned-mystery-man-called-Jack-ten-times.html

The Goncalves family had argued that jurors in Bryan Kohberger's case should have been allowed to visit 1122 King Road, the Moscow, Idaho, house where Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered. The family believed photographs, diagrams and video could never fully convey the layout of the home, the distances between rooms, the stairways, sight lines and the physical relationship between the bedrooms and common areas. From their perspective, those details could have mattered enormously once jurors were asked to evaluate the prosecution's timeline, Dylan Mortensen's account of seeing a masked man, the movement of the killer through the house and the defense's inevitable challenges to how the State said the murders unfolded. Keeping the house standing, they argued, would have preserved the possibility that the judge could later decide a jury view was necessary.That possibility disappeared when the University of Idaho moved forward with demolition of the house in December 2023, well before Kohberger ever went to trial. Prosecutors and defense attorneys had both indicated they did not object to the demolition after investigators conducted additional measurements, photographs, scans and other documentation of the property, but the Goncalves family strongly objected and publicly pleaded for the house to remain standing until the criminal case was finished. The university nevertheless demolished 1122 King Road on December 28, 2023, saying the building no longer served an investigative purpose and that removing it was part of the community's effort to heal. The decision was irreversible: by the time the case progressed toward trial, jurors could no longer be taken through the actual crime scene even if a judge later concluded that seeing it firsthand would have been useful. For the Goncalves family, that was precisely the problem—they believed potentially important evidence had effectively been erased before anyone could know what questions would arise once the prosecution and defense finally presented their competing versions of what happened inside the house.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Bryan Kohberger's defense and prosecutors both opposed an effort by attorney Shanon Gray, who represented Kaylee Goncalves' family, to escape the sweeping gag order imposed early in the case. Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall had initially barred prosecutors, defense lawyers, law enforcement and others involved in the prosecution from making public statements, and later expanded the restriction to attorneys representing victims, witnesses and their families. Gray challenged that expansion as unconstitutionally broad and vague, arguing that the Goncalves family members themselves were not parties to the criminal case and remained free to speak publicly, so he should likewise be permitted to relay their views to the media. Prosecutor Bill Thompson pushed back by stressing that members of the Goncalves family were potential witnesses at trial or sentencing, giving the court a legitimate interest in limiting statements that could affect the proceedings.Kohberger's defense also opposed Gray's appeal and argued that the gag order was neither vague nor unconstitutional. Defense attorney Jay Logsdon maintained that courts had long been permitted to restrict extrajudicial statements by potential witnesses and their attorneys when necessary to protect a defendant's right to a fair trial. He also pointed out that the Goncalves family itself remained free to express its own opinions publicly, meaning Gray did not need a special exemption simply to communicate their views. The dispute became part of the much larger battle over publicity surrounding the case, with Kohberger's lawyers repeatedly arguing that the enormous and often sensational media coverage threatened to poison the jury pool. The central conflict therefore pitted the family's and media's First Amendment interests against Kohberger's constitutional right to an impartial jury, with both the prosecution and defense arguing that Gray's role as counsel for potential witnesses justified keeping him within the court's restrictions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The Goncalves family said they had uncovered what they believed was a digital connection between Bryan Kohberger and two of the University of Idaho victims after his arrest. Steve and Kristi Goncalves said they searched Kohberger's name online shortly after learning his identity and found an Instagram account they believed belonged to him. Screenshots they provided showed that the account appeared to follow both Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen. Kristi Goncalves also said the account appeared to have liked multiple photographs on Madison's Instagram page, which the family viewed as evidence that Kohberger had been actively looking at her profile. The account later disappeared shortly after Kohberger's arrest, around the same time the family attended a celebration of life for Kaylee and Madison.The claim was potentially significant because Kohberger's defense had argued that there was no known connection between him and the victims, an argument intended to undermine the prosecution's theory and raise questions about motive. But the Instagram evidence remained unverified: CBS News said it had not been able to independently confirm that the account actually belonged to Kohberger. That distinction mattered because screenshots and social-media accounts could not, by themselves, establish authorship or prove a direct relationship between Kohberger and the victims. Still, the Goncalves family believed the account undercut the idea that Kohberger had no prior awareness of Kaylee or Madison and raised the possibility that he had been viewing at least one victim's social-media activity before the murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Kaylee Goncalves' parents, Kristi and Steve Goncalves, described how the murders continued to dominate their lives years after their daughter and three other University of Idaho students were killed in November 2022. Kristi said thoughts of Kaylee and the killings were often the first thing she experienced when waking up each morning, while Steve described how his wife went to sleep hoping Kaylee would appear in her dreams so she could speak to her again. They said the grief had become part of their daily existence even after Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty in July 2025 to four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary and received four consecutive life sentences without parole.Kohberger's subsequent effort to withdraw his guilty plea reopened the legal battle and, for the Goncalves family, also revived the possibility that prosecutors could once again pursue the death penalty. Kohberger argued in his post-conviction challenge that he received ineffective assistance of counsel, was manipulated into accepting the plea agreement and had been led to believe the deal would result in better prison conditions, while also maintaining his innocence. Although the renewed proceedings meant another painful chapter for the family, Kristi Goncalves said she viewed the development as a potential second opportunity to obtain the punishment the family had originally wanted, expressing hope that the case could ultimately return to a death-penalty prosecution.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Kaylee Goncalves parents open up as Kohberger seeks plea withdrawal | Fox News

Shanon Gray, the attorney representing the family of Kaylee Goncalves, unsuccessfully sought an exemption from the sweeping nondissemination order governing Bryan Kohberger's murder case. Gray argued that the gag order was overly broad and effectively prevented the Goncalves family from using their attorney as a public spokesperson at a time when the case was receiving enormous national attention. He maintained that the restrictions burdened the family's First Amendment rights and prevented him from responding publicly to developments, correcting misinformation and expressing the family's concerns about the investigation and prosecution. Gray had also complained that the family was being kept in the dark about aspects of the case and argued that victims' relatives should not effectively be silenced simply because they had retained an attorney to represent their interests.Judge John Judge ultimately refused to carve Gray out of the order, even as he substantially narrowed the overall restrictions following challenges from Gray and a coalition of news organizations. Judge reasoned that Gray's status as an attorney representing a victim's family could give him access to confidential or sensitive information that might prejudice Kohberger's right to a fair trial if publicly disclosed. The court therefore concluded that allowing Gray to speak freely about the case created risks that justified keeping him subject to the amended order. The ruling left the Goncalves family without the unrestricted public advocate they had sought, while reinforcing the court's position that protecting the integrity of the prosecution and the eventual jury pool outweighed Gray's request for an individual exemption.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The private driver who took Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen home on the night of November 13, 2022, said the ride had appeared completely ordinary and that nothing about the two women or their surroundings had suggested danger. He picked them up after their night out in Moscow and dropped them at the King Road house shortly before 2 a.m., just hours before they and their roommates Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered. The driver later said he had replayed the ride repeatedly in his mind, searching for anything unusual that he might have missed, but he could not identify any warning sign. He described being deeply troubled by the knowledge that his job had been to get Goncalves and Mogen home safely, only for them to be killed after he left.After learning what had happened, the driver contacted Moscow police and provided investigators with information about the trip, including a receipt showing that he had stopped for food after dropping the women off. Authorities investigated and cleared him as a suspect, but he said the experience continued to weigh heavily on him, particularly as speculation about the murders spread online. He also expressed frustration over people on social media accusing innocent individuals while the investigation was still unfolding. At the time he first spoke publicly, police were still searching for the occupants of a white Hyundai Elantra believed to have been near the King Road residence around the time of the killings, and the driver's account offered one of the clearest glimpses into Goncalves and Mogen's final hours before they returned home.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The private driver who took Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen back to their King Road home in the early hours of November 13, 2022, said the final ride had appeared completely normal at the time but weighed heavily on him after he learned the two women had been murdered. Goncalves and Mogen had spent the evening in downtown Moscow, stopped at a food truck and then received a ride home from the driver, arriving at the residence shortly before 2 a.m. He said there had been nothing about their behavior or the trip that had raised alarms, and he had seen no obvious sign that the women were in danger. In the aftermath, however, he repeatedly thought about the ride and the fact that he had been one of the last people known to have seen them alive. Police investigated the driver early in the case and determined that he was not believed to have been involved in the killings.The driver also described how unsettling the atmosphere in Moscow had become while the murders remained unsolved, with fear, rumors and online speculation spreading throughout the community. He said he had cooperated with investigators and provided information about his movements after dropping Goncalves and Mogen off, while authorities worked to reconstruct the victims' final hours. At that stage of the investigation, police were still trying to account for portions of the victims' timelines and determine who had entered the King Road residence before Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were found stabbed to death. The driver's account ultimately reinforced one of the most haunting aspects of the case at the time: Goncalves and Mogen had apparently made it home safely after an ordinary night out, with no indication during their ride that they were only hours away from being murdered.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The autopsy reports for University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin documented the extraordinary violence of the November 13, 2022 murders inside the King Road residence in Moscow. Spokane County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Veena Singh determined that all four died from multiple sharp-force injuries consistent with a large fixed-blade knife, including a weapon such as the Ka-Bar prosecutors said was used in the killings. Mogen suffered 28 stab wounds, including extensive injuries to her face, neck and upper body that damaged major blood vessels, a lung and her liver. Chapin suffered fewer wounds than the three women, but his injuries included devastating wounds to the neck and major blood vessels, including one wound reportedly measuring approximately seven inches deep. Singh concluded that all four victims experienced a high degree of pain or suffering before death, although Chapin's suffering was assessed as occurring to a lesser degree than that of the other victims.The reports provided particularly disturbing new details about Kernodle and Goncalves. Kernodle suffered numerous wounds across her head, neck, chest, abdomen, back and extremities, including injuries to her heart, lung and major blood vessels, and her autopsy was the only one that specifically identified injuries consistent with defensive wounds, supporting the conclusion that she attempted to fight off her attacker. Goncalves suffered a combination of sharp-force and blunt-force trauma that the medical examiner described as more severe in certain respects than the injuries suffered by the others; her injuries included bleeding around the brain, a fractured nose, significant facial trauma and a knocked-out tooth, as well as evidence suggesting that an object had been pressed across her mouth. Taken together, the newly disclosed autopsy findings provided a much clearer medical picture of what occurred inside the house and demonstrated that this was not simply a series of quick fatal stab wounds, but an exceptionally violent attack in which the four victims suffered extensive and, in some cases, markedly different injuries before their deaths.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:012725+Exhibits+S-1+and+S-1+a-e+to+States+Supp+Resp+to+Rqst+for+Disc+RE+Penalty+Phase+Experts.pdf - Google Drive

Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin had been living recognizable college lives filled with friendships, relationships, school, work and plans for the future before they were murdered in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022. Mogen and Goncalves had been best friends since childhood and had remained inseparable through high school and into the University of Idaho, where they eventually lived together. Goncalves had recently purchased a Range Rover and had been preparing to move to Texas for a marketing job, while Mogen had worked hard academically and had made the dean's list. Kernodle had endured a much more difficult childhood marked by instability and her parents' struggles with drugs, but she had grown into an outgoing, optimistic young woman who appeared determined not to let those circumstances define her. At college she had built a close circle of friends and had begun dating Chapin, a popular 20-year-old student who was one of triplets and belonged to Sigma Chi. Chapin's parents had visited him only about a week before the murders and had driven home believing their children were happily established in college and beginning their adult lives.On November 12, 2022, the four students had spent what initially appeared to be an ordinary Saturday night in Moscow. Mogen and Goncalves had gotten ready together before going to the Corner Club and later stopping at a food truck, while Kernodle and Chapin had attended a party at the nearby Sigma Chi fraternity house. Goncalves had only recently returned to Moscow, in part to show Mogen her new vehicle, making the visit one of the final chapters in a friendship that had lasted nearly a decade. The home on King Road had been known as a lively gathering place filled with music, friends and parties, fitting comfortably into a college town that had gone years without a homicide and was widely regarded as safe. By the following morning, however, Mogen, Goncalves, Kernodle and Chapin had all been killed inside the house, abruptly ending four young lives that had been moving in very different directions but had become closely intertwined at the University of Idaho. Their deaths transformed an ordinary college residence and a quiet community into the center of a massive murder investigation that would soon draw national attention.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2023/02/idaho-murders-victims-alleged-killerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In December 2022, the family of Kaylee Goncalves hired Moscow attorney Shanon Gray to represent them as frustration grew over the investigation into the murders of Kaylee, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the time, no suspect had been publicly identified, and Steve and Kristi Goncalves had become increasingly outspoken about what they believed was inconsistent communication from investigators. The family had publicly questioned why certain information was being withheld, challenged some of the early statements coming from law enforcement and expressed concern that they were learning important developments through the media instead of directly from authorities. Gray was brought in to serve as the family's legal representative and advocate, helping them communicate with investigators while also protecting their interests as the highly publicized investigation continued.Gray's role became even more significant after Bryan Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022, and extradited to Idaho to face four counts of first-degree murder and burglary. He accompanied the Goncalves family through the court process and frequently spoke publicly on their behalf, including after Kohberger's first Idaho court appearance, when Gray said the family understood that the criminal justice process was only beginning and that they intended to remain involved for the long haul. He later represented their interests during disputes over the case's gag order and other legal issues, effectively becoming the family's voice as the prosecution moved forward. What had begun as an effort to obtain better communication and greater transparency during the investigation ultimately developed into a long-term attorney-client relationship that continued throughout the prosecution of Kohberger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Greg Rauch spent twenty years practicing law in Moscow, Idaho, and nothing in that career resembles what Bryan Kohberger just handed him. Rauch's firm bio covers Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, landlord-tenant fights, DUI defense, divorce, child custody, wills, probate, and real estate. It credits him with more than twenty trials. It shows no murder case, no capital case, and no petition remotely like the handwritten one Kohberger filed on July 27, 2026 to undo his guilty plea in the Idaho student murders. The state appointed Rauch on August 3 because the public defender's office had a conflict — Kohberger is accusing his own former lawyers of coercing a false confession and burying evidence, claims no judge has ruled on yet. Hours into the job, Rauch admitted to a reporter that he hadn't read the file and had never spoken to the man he represents. The contrast with what came before is the whole story. Anne Taylor's team carried this case for two and a half years, brought in a genetics-trained DNA specialist from San Francisco, and negotiated the deal that kept Kohberger off death row after prosecutors said his DNA was on the knife sheath. The case cost Idaho taxpayers a reported eight million dollars. Kohberger's petition calls that representation a betrayal, and his reward is a solo general practitioner working three hundred miles from the prison where he sits. If the gamble works, the plea dies and the death penalty returns, exactly the outcome the Goncalves family says it wants. This episode lays out the full record on the man now standing between Bryan Kohberger and a capital courtroom, and why the poor guy holding this file may have drawn the worst assignment in American law.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The autopsy reports for University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin documented the extraordinary violence of the November 13, 2022 murders inside the King Road residence in Moscow. Spokane County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Veena Singh determined that all four died from multiple sharp-force injuries consistent with a large fixed-blade knife, including a weapon such as the Ka-Bar prosecutors said was used in the killings. Mogen suffered 28 stab wounds, including extensive injuries to her face, neck and upper body that damaged major blood vessels, a lung and her liver. Chapin suffered fewer wounds than the three women, but his injuries included devastating wounds to the neck and major blood vessels, including one wound reportedly measuring approximately seven inches deep. Singh concluded that all four victims experienced a high degree of pain or suffering before death, although Chapin's suffering was assessed as occurring to a lesser degree than that of the other victims.The reports provided particularly disturbing new details about Kernodle and Goncalves. Kernodle suffered numerous wounds across her head, neck, chest, abdomen, back and extremities, including injuries to her heart, lung and major blood vessels, and her autopsy was the only one that specifically identified injuries consistent with defensive wounds, supporting the conclusion that she attempted to fight off her attacker. Goncalves suffered a combination of sharp-force and blunt-force trauma that the medical examiner described as more severe in certain respects than the injuries suffered by the others; her injuries included bleeding around the brain, a fractured nose, significant facial trauma and a knocked-out tooth, as well as evidence suggesting that an object had been pressed across her mouth. Taken together, the newly disclosed autopsy findings provided a much clearer medical picture of what occurred inside the house and demonstrated that this was not simply a series of quick fatal stab wounds, but an exceptionally violent attack in which the four victims suffered extensive and, in some cases, markedly different injuries before their deaths.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:012725+Exhibits+S-1+and+S-1+a-e+to+States+Supp+Resp+to+Rqst+for+Disc+RE+Penalty+Phase+Experts.pdf - Google DriveBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In December 2022, the family of Kaylee Goncalves hired Moscow attorney Shanon Gray to represent them as frustration grew over the investigation into the murders of Kaylee, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. At the time, no suspect had been publicly identified, and Steve and Kristi Goncalves had become increasingly outspoken about what they believed was inconsistent communication from investigators. The family had publicly questioned why certain information was being withheld, challenged some of the early statements coming from law enforcement and expressed concern that they were learning important developments through the media instead of directly from authorities. Gray was brought in to serve as the family's legal representative and advocate, helping them communicate with investigators while also protecting their interests as the highly publicized investigation continued.Gray's role became even more significant after Bryan Kohberger was arrested in Pennsylvania on December 30, 2022, and extradited to Idaho to face four counts of first-degree murder and burglary. He accompanied the Goncalves family through the court process and frequently spoke publicly on their behalf, including after Kohberger's first Idaho court appearance, when Gray said the family understood that the criminal justice process was only beginning and that they intended to remain involved for the long haul. He later represented their interests during disputes over the case's gag order and other legal issues, effectively becoming the family's voice as the prosecution moved forward. What had begun as an effort to obtain better communication and greater transparency during the investigation ultimately developed into a long-term attorney-client relationship that continued throughout the prosecution of Kohberger.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bryan Kohberger pleaded guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students and took four life sentences without parole. The deal removed the death penalty. He signed every document. He confirmed under oath the plea was voluntary. Then thirteen months later, he filed a handwritten petition claiming he was coerced.The timing is difficult to separate from the media cycle. His first public statement went to the New York Times the same weekend Netflix dropped its documentary. His petition echoes language from a book whose author says they never communicated.But the legal question underneath the spectacle is real: can a defendant undo a guilty plea by claiming his own lawyers scared him into confessing? Idaho law requires manifest injustice — a standard legal experts call near-impossible to meet after sentencing, especially when the defendant endorsed the plea under oath.The gamble is life and death. If the plea is withdrawn, the deal evaporates. Idaho has a firing squad. The state has signaled it will pursue the death penalty. The Goncalves family says they're ready.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis breaks down the legal mechanics, the state's options, and whether Kohberger just made the worst strategic decision of his life.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger is asking an Idaho court to withdraw his guilty plea in the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. He says his lawyers coerced him. He says the confession was false. He says evidence was hidden.But the question nobody seems to be asking is: what happens if he wins?If a court withdraws the plea, the deal that kept Kohberger off death row ceases to exist. Idaho maintains the death penalty and authorizes execution by firing squad. Attorney General Raúl Labrador has already signaled the state is prepared. The Goncalves family has said publicly they are ready for trial and confident in a death sentence. Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson — who cut the original deal over the families' objections — would face the prospect of re-prosecuting a case the defendant already confessed to.Kohberger signed a nine-page plea questionnaire confirming his plea was voluntary. He told Judge Hippler under oath he was guilty. He answered yes to every safeguard question. Idaho's post-sentencing standard for withdrawal is manifest injustice — one of the highest bars in American criminal law.Defense attorney and former prosecutor Eric Faddis examines the petition, the evidence, the legal standard, and the consequences if Kohberger somehow clears every hurdle.END_LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A  theory had suggested that Madison Mogen may have been Bryan Kohberger's intended target when he entered the King Road residence and murdered Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato argued that the attack appeared to have been driven by a violent psychosexual fantasy rather than a plan to kill everyone inside the house. Brucato believed Kohberger had gone directly to Mogen's third-floor bedroom expecting to find her alone, only to discover that Goncalves was sharing the bed with her that night. Under that theory, Goncalves became an unexpected victim because she had interrupted the scenario Kohberger had allegedly imagined.Brucato pointed to the location of the first attack, the victims' injuries and Kohberger's apparent familiarity with the house as support for his interpretation. He theorized that the killings of Kernodle and Chapin followed after Kohberger encountered people who could identify him or interfere with his escape, turning an allegedly targeted attack into a four-person massacre. However, authorities had never publicly established a motive or confirmed that Mogen, Goncalves or any other individual had been specifically targeted. The theory remained an expert's interpretation of the available evidence rather than a proven conclusion about why Kohberger committed the murders.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Kristi and Steve Goncalves, the parents of 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, had pleaded for answers one month after their daughter, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death inside an off-campus home near the University of Idaho. With no suspect publicly identified at the time, Kristi Goncalves had questioned who the killer was and where that person had gone. She believed the attacker had entered the house methodically, carried out the killings quickly and quietly, and escaped without being detected. Many crucial details had remained unexplained, including the motive, how two roommates on the ground floor survived and whether Kaylee's dog, Murphy, had reacted while the attack was taking placeThe Goncalves family had also grown frustrated by the limited information investigators released, particularly regarding possible DNA evidence and a white Hyundai Elantra seen near the house around the time of the murders. Their attorney, Shannon Gray, had said the lack of information pushed grieving parents deeper into speculation, although the family still hoped police were following the correct investigative path. Moscow police had defended their secrecy by saying they possessed significant information but needed to protect the case and secure not only an arrest but a conviction. Steve Goncalves had urged local residents to submit surveillance footage before recordings were erased, while the families of Kaylee and Madison prepared a joint celebration of life intended to focus on the close friends' happy and positive lives.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://abcnews.go.com/US/parents-slain-idaho-student-desperate-answers/story?id=95219080Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bryan Kohberger says his defense team hid exculpatory evidence from him before he pleaded guilty. But reporting from PEOPLE shows a DNA expert hired by that same defense team tested the evidence in question — hair found in Ethan Chapin's hand — and determined it was consistent with Chapin's own hair. The finding was included in a June 2025 filing, one month before the plea.Bob Motta of Defense Diaries joins Tony Brueski to work through what the petition actually claims versus what the record shows. They cover where Kohberger's language came from, what the nine-page questionnaire and sworn colloquy mean for his chances, and why the Goncalves family — which opposed the plea deal from day one — is now on record welcoming a retrial and the return of the death penalty.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The central claim in Bryan Kohberger's petition is that his defense team withheld exculpatory evidence — specifically hair found in Ethan Chapin's hand. But a DNA expert retained by that same defense team examined the hair and found it consistent with Chapin's own reference sample. That report was filed in June 2025, a month before the plea.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries examines the gap between what the petition claims and what the record shows. He covers the true crime book that appears to be the source of Kohberger's legal theory, the nine-page questionnaire confirming the plea was voluntary, and the Goncalves family now welcoming a retrial and the return of the death penalty.Motta addresses the procedural reality of what Kohberger faces if he succeeds — Idaho, firing squad, and a jury that knows he already confessed — and whether the historical pattern offers a single case where this worked.Tony Brueski and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta of Defense Diaries.END LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger, accused of murdering four University of Idaho students in November 2022, has reached a plea agreement with prosecutors. In exchange for pleading guilty to all four counts of first-degree murder—and additional burglary charges—he will receive four consecutive life sentences, with no possibility of parole and a waiver of all appellate rights. This deal effectively removes the death penalty—recently reinstated in Idaho with an optional firing-squad execution—from consideration, sparing Kohberger from capital punishmentThe plea comes just weeks before his scheduled trial in August and is set to be formalized during a plea hearing on July 2, with sentencing expected in late July.   While prosecutors framed the deal as a way to ensure finality and spare the victims' families from prolonged appeals, the announcement provoked intense backlash. Notably, the Goncalves family—victims Kaylee Goncalves' relatives—expressed fury over the timing and secrecy of the agreement, condemning it as a "stab in the back" and arguing that Kohberger would still "form relationships and engage with the world," unlike their loved one.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Bryan Kohberger to plead guilty to University of Idaho student murders to avoid death penalty: reportBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to four counts of first-degree murder, told a judge under oath he did it, received four life sentences — and is now claiming a book led him to evidence that proves otherwise. His petition cites "clumps of hair" from Ethan Chapin's hand, a phrase that appears only in a retired FBI agent's book and nowhere in the case record. Jennifer Coffindaffer examines the collision between what Kohberger claims and what the forensic evidence shows, including a defense expert's testing that matched the hair back to the victim. The conversation also covers whether Anne Taylor would end her own career to give Kohberger a path forward, and what it means for the Goncalves, Mogen, Kernodle, and Chapin families that the finality they were promised is already unraveling.LinksJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Bryan Kohberger's own words might sink the petition he just filed comes down to one moment: a judge asked him, under oath, if he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, and he said yes. Thirteen months after that plea, representing himself, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth and called investigators' account of the case a work of fiction. Before the filing reached anyone official, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what came out of that call left the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin dealing with a scenario they were promised in writing would never reach them. The petition claims ineffective assistance of counsel, undisclosed evidence, and a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the confession itself. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again if this reaches trial. There's a procedural wrinkle most coverage has missed: the appeal waiver he signed never closed the door on challenging whether the plea itself was valid, and that's the entire premise of this filing. The Goncalves family answered within hours, taking the petition apart in detail. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive on the record. We go through what he filed and the sentence working against him. None of it is decided yet. A judge in Ada County has the next word. Links Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Before any of that reached a court, he got to a prison phone and called a reporter. Not a lawyer. Not a filing. A newspaper. What followed has put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they were promised in writing they'd never be in. The petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel, evidence his defense team failed to disclose, and a distorted picture of what a life sentence and death row would actually look like, with threats and false promises blamed for the original confession.

The Goncalves family answered within hours, dismantling the petition point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever put on the record.

Bryan Kohberger sank his own case with one line, and he said it under oath more than a year before he tried to take it all back. Tonight we go through exactly how that happened. He stood in an Idaho courtroom and pleaded guilty four times to the University of Idaho student murders. Thirteen months later, representing himself, he filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County, telling the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth. Before it ever reached a judge, he called a reporter from a prison phone, and what he said in that call put the families of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in a position they'd been promised, in writing, could never happen. His petition claims his defense team withheld evidence and painted a distorted picture of what death row and a life sentence would look like, and that threats and false promises produced the original confession. He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again at a new trial. But the line that matters most came the day he pleaded. When the judge asked him directly, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty, he said yes. The Goncalves family responded within hours, taking the petition apart point by point. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever entered on the record. We walk through what he filed and why it may not hold up. None of it gets resolved tonight.

Bryan Kohberger can never take back what he said under oath, and that's the problem sitting inside the petition he just filed to undo his own guilty plea. Thirteen months after pleading guilty four times in an Idaho courtroom, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He told the New York Times his actual innocence is his truth and dismissed investigators' account of the case as fiction.

He's also said he'd welcome the death penalty being sought again if this goes to trial. But on the day he pleaded, the judge asked him directly, under oath, whether he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. He said yes. That answer is now the exact thing his own filing has to explain away. The Goncalves family responded within hours, taking the petition apart line by line. There was never a trial, never a cross-examination, and no motive was ever entered on the record.

A year of silence, and then Bryan Kohberger surfaced in the exact window that guaranteed the biggest possible room. The Idaho student murders documentary premiere had been on the calendar publicly for two weeks.Tony Brueski sits down with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, thirty years across private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, for a conversation about attention as the actual currency here.What the episode covers: the sequence of the statement, the filing, and the premiere, and why the order of those three matters. The stated purpose of the documentary, which director Skye Borgman described as putting the four students and their lives back at the center. The sentence in Kohberger's statement thanking people who believe in his innocence. And the long, ugly history of killers whose stories expanded and contracted depending on the size of the audience.H.H. Holmes went from denial to a confession claiming a hundred deaths, reportedly for money, then back down again with the newspapers blamed for the appetite. Henry Lee Lucas went from one confession to three hundred and fifty while officers with cold cases brought him meals, then recanted the whole thing once that stopped. A hundred and thirty years apart, and the mechanism is identical.Then there is the hardest part of all of it. The Goncalves family went after the newspaper that published him, not just the man himself. There is a real argument that the correct response is silence.Scott works with people who have lived through this kind of case. Her answer to what those families actually need from the rest of us is not the one most people expect.Scott also handles the counterargument, which says none of this is strategy at all. A man who has genuinely reorganized his own account of events would broadcast it at the first available opportunity, regardless of what else happened to be on the calendar that week.Follow True Crime Today for the next conversation.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Bryan Kohberger guilty plea is on the table again, and the question underneath it is not legal. It is whether a person can say the word guilty out loud, four separate times, and then genuinely stop believing it.He pleaded guilty in July 2025 to the murders of four University of Idaho students and was sentenced to four consecutive life terms. He waived his right to appeal. A year later he filed a petition for post-conviction relief and told the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth.Tony Brueski talks it through with psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose background covers private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs.What they get into: how a plea colloquy works on the person giving it, with a judge asking directly whether the answer is honest. What twelve months of enforced silence does to somebody's account of their own life. Why he reached for the specific words he reached for. And what a man in his position gets out of writing about himself the way he did.The filing itself is his allegation against his own attorneys and nothing more than that at this stage. But one strand of it lands regardless of what a court does with it, because it amounts to a claim that he was misled about what a life sentence would feel like.The Goncalves family answered that in public. They said he hates that life, and he wants another chance to roll the dice.Scott also takes on whether an account of yourself survives twelve months of that kind of isolation intact. Her answer is that it does not. It either hardens into something rigid and defended, or it mutates into something the person has come to genuinely believe. Neither of those looks like lying in the ordinary sense of the word.True Crime Today brings you the conversations behind the headlines.

Bryan Kohberger waited a year to speak about the Idaho student murders, and then chose the seventy-two hours before a Netflix documentary about the case went live. The timing is the story.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, whose career runs through private practice, community mental health, crisis teams, and forensic programs, take apart the question of who he was performing for.The premiere of The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare had been public since mid-July 2026. Director Skye Borgman said the whole design of the series was to move the attention off the case and back onto the four students. Kohberger's statement went to the New York Times on the Sunday. His petition hit the Ada County docket on the Monday. The series arrived Wednesday, into a news environment where his name was everywhere again.He also used his statement to thank the people who believe in his innocence and keep analyzing the case. That group exists. During the sentencing, Kaylee Goncalves' mother received a message from someone claiming ties to serial killers, telling her she knew Bryan was innocent, and saying they had handed her address to a would-be killer in Moscow.Scott has spent decades around what that kind of attention does to the person receiving it, and the historical parallels are not subtle. Holmes. Lucas. Confessions that grew and shrank in exact proportion to who was watching.The episode ends where the Goncalves family put it, on whether any of us should be covering him at all.The conversation also looks at what the documentary was designed to do against what actually happened. Berlinger and Borgman built a series around family interviews and bodycam footage never released before, framed as the definitive account of the case. It arrived into a news cycle that was about the man again. That outcome was predictable to anybody reading a calendar.Follow Hidden Killers for the full conversation.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The Netflix premiere date was public two weeks before Bryan Kohberger said anything, and he spoke on the Sunday night right before it. That sequence is where this conversation starts.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott get into the audience management underneath the Idaho student murders reversal, rather than the legal filing everybody else is parsing.Here is the sequence. Sunday night, a statement to the New York Times. Monday, a self-filed petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court. Wednesday, a three-part documentary built by director Skye Borgman specifically to return the focus to Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.One of those three things was not on his calendar by accident.The conversation goes into whether someone in his position is even capable of letting a spotlight pass, what he gains from the people thanking him back, and the two historical cases that make this look less like a modern media problem and more like a permanent feature of the type. Holmes selling a hundred deaths and then unselling them. Lucas confessing his way to steak dinners and day trips, and recanting the second the attention stopped.The Goncalves family compared him to a mosquito nobody can quite swat, and said that if a fraction of the energy spent trying to free a guilty man went toward honoring the four who died, there would be statues on every corner.There is also the family he thanked for never wavering in their belief in who he is. That is a different audience from the strangers analyzing the case online, and Scott separates the two, because what a person draws from each is not the same. One sustains a story. The other supplies a stage.Watch the full conversation, and follow Hidden Killers Live for more.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger said nothing for twelve months. No statement at sentencing when a judge offered him the floor. Nothing after. Then a camera crew finished a documentary about the Idaho student murders, and he found his voice three days before it premiered.Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott take on the timing, the audience, and the appetite underneath both.The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare was announced in mid-July 2026 for a Wednesday premiere. Director Skye Borgman built it around the families of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, saying he wanted the attention back on who they were. Kohberger's statement ran Sunday. His petition was filed Monday.In his statement he thanked everyone who believes in his innocence and keeps critically analyzing the case, and sent love to his family for never wavering.That group he thanked is not hypothetical. During the sentencing itself, a message reached Kaylee Goncalves' mother from someone claiming ties to serial killers, insisting on his innocence and claiming they had given her address to a would-be killer back in Moscow.Scott brings thirty years of clinical work to the question of what an audience like that provides, and the conversation traces the pattern back through H.H. Holmes and Henry Lee Lucas, whose confessions tracked their attention almost perfectly in both directions.It closes on the argument the Goncalves family made about the press, which is a harder question than most coverage admits.The episode also covers what a premiere represents for a person in his position. Three parts, a global platform, family interviews, police footage never released before, and his name attached to every headline written about it. He has no way to appear in it and every way to appear alongside it. Scott works through whether that distinction even registers for the man doing it.Follow the channel for continuing coverage.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He answered yes when a judge asked if he was guilty. Now Bryan Kohberger says he was talked into it.About a year after his sentencing on four consecutive life terms, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He says his confession was false and that his actual innocence is his truth.Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke, who led the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, work through what the filing actually argues and what the wording of it reveals.The petition rests on ineffective assistance of counsel. Kohberger alleges his defense team did not disclose or review evidence that would have helped him. He alleges he was given a distorted account of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho involve. He points to threats and false promises as the reason he pleaded at all.The discussion covers the practical question underneath all of it. He waived his appeal rights in the agreement, but a waiver has never stopped a defendant from attacking the validity of the plea itself. That is the opening he is using, and it was always there.It also covers his statement that he would welcome prosecutors seeking the death penalty again, and what the Goncalves family said in response. They wanted a capital trial from the beginning and have said he simply wants another roll of the dice. Dreeke weighs whether that read holds up behaviorally.Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were killed in November 2022. There was no trial and no motive on the record. Prosecutors could have required him to explain himself as a condition of the deal, and they decided not to. That silence is now part of what the families are living with.Hidden Killers stays with this case as the petition moves through Ada County.

Bryan Kohberger now says he never should have said the word guilty. He said it anyway, four times, in an Ada County courtroom, once for each of the four University of Idaho students he admitted killing.This episode is about the gap between those two things, and about who was standing next to him the day he closed it. Kohberger is in segregated housing at Idaho's maximum security prison for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. He admitted all four killings in an Ada County courtroom. Now he says that admission should be thrown out, and he has filed to make it happen without a lawyer attached.We read what he wrote, and we look at how he wrote it, because the writing is the tell. We revisit the day he pleaded guilty, who was standing with him, and how much time he and his legal team had already spent going through the evidence. Then we get to the single sworn sentence that leaves his new claim with nowhere to go.Underneath all of it is a letter these four families received before any deal was signed, containing a written promise about this exact scenario from someone who should have known better than to make it.The Goncalves family responded the same day, took the petition apart, and had a few words about the outlet that handed him a platform in the first place.Sourced from the court docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Bryan Kohberger took a deal to avoid the death penalty. He now says he would welcome prosecutors seeking it again.About a year after he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms in the Idaho student murders, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself. He claims his confession was false. He told the New York Times that his actual innocence is his truth and called the case against him a work of fiction.Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke break down what changed, and what a reversal like this usually signals.The filing alleges his defense team was ineffective and failed to disclose or review evidence in his favor. It alleges he was given a badly misleading picture of what life in an Idaho prison and Idaho's death row would look like. It blames threats and false promises for the plea.This breakdown also covers why he can file at all after waiving his appeal rights. Dreeke, a retired FBI Special Agent with twenty-one years assessing human behavior, takes on the harder question. Does a man who says guilty under oath and innocent a year later believe either one?Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin died in Moscow in November 2022. Their families were told the plea would end this. The Goncalves family, who wanted a capital trial from the start, say he got exactly what he asked for and now hates it. In their words, he wants another chance to roll the dice. They have also pointed out what a hearing would give him, including a break from solitary confinement and the spotlight back on his supposed innocence.The court has not ruled, and these families are waiting again on a process they were told they would never sit through.

A year ago, the family of Kaylee Goncalves said Bryan Kohberger was too afraid to die but not afraid to kill. He had just traded a capital murder trial for a deal that took the death penalty off the table and locked in four consecutive life terms.Now he says the state is welcome to come after the death penalty again.This episode is about that reversal and what is actually behind it. Kohberger has filed to withdraw the guilty plea he entered for the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin at their off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho. He filed it himself, with no attorney on the document, after breaking thirteen months of silence with a phone call to a reporter.We walk through the filing, the language he used, and what that language reveals about who it was really written for. We go back to the plea hearing to look at who stood beside him, how long he had been reviewing the evidence with counsel, and the sworn statement that undercuts his entire argument.Then we get to the piece that should have led every headline. Before the deal was signed, these families were sent a letter containing a specific written promise about post-conviction filings. What that promise turned out to be worth is the real failure in this story.The Goncalves family answered within hours and made short work of the petition, including one line about the life he is living now that lands harder than anything else said all day.Built from the docket, the filings, and dated reporting on the University of Idaho case.LINKSJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Something changed for Bryan Kohberger between the day he pleaded guilty and the day he filed to take it back.He was sentenced to four consecutive life terms after telling a judge he was pleading guilty because he was guilty. About a year later he filed a handwritten petition for post-conviction relief in Ada County District Court, representing himself, saying the confession was false and his innocence is the truth.Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke work through what he is claiming and what the shape of the claim gives away.The petition alleges ineffective assistance of counsel and says his defense team never disclosed or reviewed evidence that would have helped him. It says he was given a grossly misleading picture of what a life sentence and death row in Idaho would look like. It blames threats, false promises and wrong information for the plea.The breakdown covers the standard a judge applies to a claim like this. It covers why the appeal waiver he signed never closed this particular door. And it covers the question the families are left with, which is how many times a defendant with decades of time can come back to the same courthouse.It also covers what he said to the New York Times about welcoming the death penalty again, and what the Goncalves family said in return. Dreeke reads the behavior behind the reversal and lands somewhere specific.The four students who died in Moscow, Idaho, in November 2022 were Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. There was no trial and no cross-examination. No motive was ever entered on the record, because prosecutors were never required to make him give one.This channel covers the Bryan Kohberger case from the investigation through the plea and everything since.

The Goncalves family is also turning grief into action through advanced DNA testing for cold cases.
