The Idaho Four: How a PhD Student Became a Quadruple Murderer
You know how some stories stick with you long after you've heard them? This is one of those stories. Four college students in Moscow, Idaho, were living their normal, messy, beautiful young adult lives when everything changed in one night. Xana, Ethan, Maddie, and Kaylee weren't famous before November 2022, but they should be remembered for who they actually were: real people with inside jokes, weekend plans, and futures that got stolen from them.
What makes this case particularly hard to process isn't the violence itself, but how utterly preventable it all was. Bryan Kohberger was a PhD student in criminology who thought he could commit the perfect crime. He was wrong about that, obviously, but he was devastatingly effective at destroying lives. The evidence trail he left behind reads like a masterclass in how not to get away with murder, yet somehow that doesn't make any of this feel less senseless.
We'll walk through what actually happened that night on King Road, the investigation that followed, and why Kohberger suddenly changed his plea to guilty after years of maintaining his innocence. But more than anything, we'll talk about who these four people really were before they became headlines. Because Kaylee's sister said something at his sentencing that I can't stop thinking about, and it perfectly captures why this story matters beyond the true crime aspect.
Sometimes the most ordinary evil does the most extraordinary damage. This is one of those times.
