Well, the case has been inching its way through the court system. The big news happened back in September when the judge in Latak County in Moscow decided to grant the change of venue that the defense had requested. So they've moved it to the state's biggest town, Boise, Ada County.

A few days after that ruling, Brian Koberger, we watched as he was taken to a state police airplane and flown down to Boise, and that's where he's been ever since. Because there's a new venue in Boise, there's also a new judge who, I have to say, doesn't seem thrilled that he has been thrust into this spot.

One other big ruling that the judge made is that Koberger is eligible to face the death penalty. Koberger will face a death-qualified jury, meaning all the jurors have to be okay with voting for the death penalty if there's a conviction.

I mean, I can't say that I heard the change of venue decision was popular, especially with the victims' families. I mean, you have to realize that Moscow's in North Idaho, Boise's in Southern Idaho, and it's a good eight-hour, 450-mile trip. It's a huge inconvenience for the families.

Well, there's so much we don't know about this because the judges have imposed a fairly restrictive gag order. I do know that a complicating factor before the trial is that the witness list will be sealed. So we won't know who's testifying. We won't know when they're testifying.

I'm sure she'll testify at the trial or at least be called to testify at the trial. I would assume, like some other witnesses, she will fight testifying at the trial because, you know, as people have told me, who wants to come face to face with Brian Goldberg in court?

Correct.

Correct.

I mean, these are young women in their early 20s. I mean, I can't imagine. I have kids. We all have kids. You can't imagine having your kid go through something like that.

The connection to the victims has always been a big question. A long time ago, an old LAPD homicide detective told me that motive only has to make sense to one person for one second. The word that comes up over and over when you talk to investigators and also people who grew up with him was rejection.

Well, he's filed the notice of an alibi defense. And his alibi was he was out driving around in his car that night looking at the moon and stars. I will tell you that he seems to feel very comfortable in the dark. He runs after dark. He hikes after dark. He is out driving after dark. He's a night owl. I think the defense will focus on attacking the genetic genealogy of

So investigators very quickly found a knife sheath in the room that Maddie and Kaylee were murdered in. They submitted it to a lab. They got touch DNA off it, that DNA. They used genetic genealogy to pinpoint that DNA to a couple families in northwestern Pennsylvania. One of them was Koberger's, and the rest is history.
