About this episode

Tony Brueski discusses two theories surrounding the University of Idaho murders and the implications of internet speculation on the case.

This episode is about two theories the University of Idaho murders never seem to shake, and Tony Brueski walks through both, live, on the Kohberger case. The first cost an innocent man his reputation before anyone had a name for the killer. The second is still circulating despite a guilty plea. Before Bryan Kohberger's arrest, the internet had already picked a suspect, a young man who'd just lost someone he loved and made the mistake of calling her phone too many times that morning, for reasons that turn out to be completely innocent once investigators laid them out. We cover why the surviving roommates' delayed 911 call doesn't mean what people assume, what their private writings actually reveal, the theory that they were spared because they were involved, and why a judge dismissed the internet's alternate suspects as rank speculation. Then we turn to the sheath conspiracy. Kohberger's DNA on that knife sheath wasn't a faint trace, according to the lab, it was hundreds of times more genetic material than a typical case involves, which the lab itself has stated on the record.
