Welcome to On The Case. From the team that brought you the chart-topping, award-winning series The Trial, On The Case is the home for the Daily Mail’s stellar crime reporting beyond the courtroom… now in audio for the very first time. Each series, a Daily Mail journalist takes us to the heart of a story they’ve been covering, featuring new details, exclusive interviews and behind the scenes insights from the biggest crime stories making headlines around the world.
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. Maddie and Kaylee, both asleep in Maddie’s bed, were killed first. It was just after 4am but Xana was still up having ordered a food delivery; he stabbed her next before moving onto kill Ethan where he slept. There were no signs of forced entry - the lock of the door he slipped through was broken - and two other roommates inside the house survived. Weeks later, after an investigation shrouded in secrecy, authorities arrested the then 28-year-old Washington State University criminology Ph.D. student Bryan Kohberger at his family home in Pennsylvania. On July 2nd, Kohberger pled guilty to the murders, as part of a plea deal to avoid the death penalty. His sentencing has been set for Wednesday July 23rd, and he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
In On The Case, Laura Collins, an editor and investigative reporter at the Daily Mail in New York, and who has covered the story since the beginning, goes behind the headlines on the story that has gripped and horrified audiences on both sides of the Atlantic since it first broke in November 2022.
