On The Case28 Jul 2025

From Ted Bundy to Elliot Rogers... Is Bryan Kohberger a classic serial killer?

Early in the morning of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were found brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus rental home in Moscow, Idaho. The victims were Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin.

On Wednesday – in a sentencing hearing at Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho – Bryan Kohberger received four life terms as well as ten years for felony burglary. Those sentences will run consecutively and Kohberger has waived both any right to appeal or any chance of parole as part of a plea deal that sees him avoid the death penalty.

On today’s episode of On The Case, to go through that sentencing and what we’ve learned in the days since, editor and investigative reporter Laura Collins is joined again by acclaimed journalist Howard Blum, whose latest work When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders has become an instant bestseller, and by forensic and clinical psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato, a visiting scholar at Boston College and co-author of The New Evil: Understanding the Emergence of Modern Violent Crime.
