'A True Crime Follower's Worst Nightmare': Dissecting the Idaho Four Murder Case (Feat. Jesse Weber)
It’s a quadruple homicide case out of Idaho that has captivated much of the nation. Bryan Kohberger, a criminology student pursuing his Ph.D., stands accused of murdering four University of Idaho students, all between the ages of 20 and 21 years old. The students were found stabbed to death on the second and third floors of an off-campus house in the college town on Nov. 13, 2022. The slayings brought an uncommon amount of national attention to Moscow, Idaho, a city of roughly 25,000 people in the state’s panhandle. In this week’s episode, Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber, who reported live on the ground there, provides the latest updates on that case — and interrogates why this criminal case unleashed a flood of online sleuths attempting to solve the crime. Weber also explains what happens when people’s expectations for criminal justice, from social media and crimes dramas, hits up against the system as it actually exist, and how this case provides an opportunity to educate the public on just how the justice system works.
