A well-known shocking case, four young lives cut short, all these young people stabbed to death.

And you were covering the story.

We know there's a resolution in the case now.

We're going to get to that.

But give me a sense of these young students and what was it like for you covering this story?

You really got to know their personalities, didn't you?

Yeah, in the background.

Well, you've done such a great job of that.

And, you know, you covered the story for 2020 a while back.

And then now, of course, you brought fresh reporting with visits with these family members and just really an opportunity for us to know these victims.

You also were the very first person to talk to the Moscow police chief, among other folks in this case.

Tell me a little bit about what that was like.

In that little small town.

The body camera footage of police talking to Dylan Mortensen, you just referenced that, was released.

It's always so interesting when we see this kind of footage, when we're digging into these cases.

What were the big takeaways from that as far as you were concerned?

The idea that they're survivors.

I mean, you know, that these roommates were slain and then there are folks who are left behind.

I mean, this story just was unfolding in the most horrific way imaginable.

And you, of course, were following it.
