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.

In 2003, a man named Urfan Sharif arrived in the UK on a student visa after leaving his home in Jehlum, Pakistan. Sharif spent the next 20 years terrorising and abusing the women and children in his life. In this episode, Andy tracks these 20 years by speaking to other journalists that have covered this case. We also have an exclusive interview with Angelika, the woman who Sharif dated when he was 26 and she was still only a teenager. She recounts the controlling behaviour that eventually led to her being held captive and violently attacked. Finally we look at the missed opportunities that authorities had to stop Sharif, who would eventually go on to murder his 10-year-old daughter Sara in 2023.
