Episode 1: The House On a Hill

It began as a weekend of football, parties, late-night food and good friends — a normal Saturday night in the college town of Moscow, Idaho. But Sunday morning, four University of Idaho students, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, are found stabbed to death in their beds. Through friends, witnesses, video surveillance and social media footage, in Episode 1 we get to know who the victims were and reconstruct their final hours.

Episode 2: The Aftermath

Nearly eight hours after the murders, police receive a 911 call from the King Road house. Why the delay? Who discovers the murder scene and what do they see? Police don’t offer many answers initially, except to say they believe the murders were “targeted,” and that the community is safe. But without more information, speculation starts to swirl about who killed these students and why. Media descend to report the story, and amateur internet sleuths turn this real-life tragedy into true crime entertainment – and the small town of Moscow endures a second wave of trauma.

Episode 3: The Investigation

The small-town police department of Moscow, Idaho, is thrust into the national spotlight, as they try to solve a quadruple homicide and hunt down a killer. Law enforcement gives little information about their investigation until six weeks after the murders when they make a surprising arrest. With that arrest comes a bombshell affidavit outlining all the evidence they’ve kept so closely guarded throughout the investigation.

Episode 4: Who is Bryan Kohberger?

What was Bryan Kohberger’s life like before he was charged with these murders? People who knew him in his teenage years, in college, and right before he was arrested last December offer conflicting narratives. There’s the Kohberger who helps save a colleague’s life and the Kohberger who makes other coworkers feel uncomfortable, even fearful. There’s the Kohberger who succeeds in school, is passionate about his classes, and impresses his professors. Then there’s the Kohberger who clashes with people in his criminology graduate program and loses his teaching job. We piece together a portrait of the man who will go on trial this fall for the King Road killings, and if convicted, could face the death penalty.
