And we talked in the very beginning about there being a guilty plea now.

So more information has been released.

And of course, we were able to include a lot of that in our 2020 episode.

When we come back, Kena is going to tell us a little bit more about the details of this case and also more on where Brian Koberger is now.

So stay with us.

We're back with Kena Whitworth, who has covered the Idaho college murders since this story first broke.

She was on the ground in Idaho the very day that this all happened.

And, you know, Kena, in your reporting, you know, of course, in the very beginning, everybody was trying to wrap their minds around the idea that these college students were killed in this incident.

in this little town but eventually of course we come to know more about Brian Koberger who was initially a person of interest and of course was eventually charged in this case and he lived just about seven miles or so from the crime scene.

After he was arrested we started to learn a little bit more about him.

He was a teacher's assistant at Washington State University.

He was getting his PhD in criminology of all things.

And you talked to people who knew him in the piece, which was just fascinating.

The faculty and the students who some of them got a chill, you know, just sort of knowing him.

Talk about him a little bit and what you were able to learn and what surprised you.

That he came across as the smartest guy in the room?

What you revealed too was that some of his colleagues thought that he would wind up in some kind of an issue, maybe not something as extreme as this, but they thought he would wind up in some kind of an issue.

Kena, while he was getting his Ph.D.

way across the country, he actually grew up in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.

What did you learn about him and his upbringing and what kind of a life he had in Pennsylvania?
