A lot of information has come about the victims in Moscow, Idaho, and the condition of their bodies, as well as the location and injuries, and the investigation that, in retrospect, might have been misguided at best. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabutt made many public comments in the first days of the investigation of the Bryan Kohberger case, including the evidence and what was stated as fact early in the investigation that doesn't match up with current facts. Joe Scott Morgan explains the forensics of death, livor mortis, and rigor mortis, as well as PMI (postmortem interval), and how the delay in reporting the bodies could be problematic for the prosecution in the upcoming trial of Brian Kohberger.
