=============================================

In the early hours of November 13th, 2022, four University of Idaho students were found dead inside their off-campus home on King Road, and the small college town of Moscow, Idaho would never be the same again.

No suspect. No weapon. No motive. For seven weeks, investigators chased a single, chilling lead: a white sedan, caught on camera, speeding away from the scene at 4:20 in the morning.

This is Part 1 of the full story behind one of the most shocking true crime cases of the decade, the Idaho student murders, the manhunt that followed, and the case that would eventually lead to Bryan Kohberger.

Previous Episode

On the morning of February 6, 2021, a 999 call came through to police in South Wales.

"I have just killed the wife, police... I have just killed my wife."

The caller was David Maggs, a 71-year-old retired accountant. When the operator asked what had happened, he said that he had just lost it.

Minutes later, officers arrived at the house. On the bottom step of the stairs lay two red kitchen knives. In the living room, they found David sitting in an armchair, subdued, and seemingly defeated.

Upstairs, in her own bed, lay his wife of nearly two decades, Linda Maggs, dying from wounds inflicted just moments before.

David didn't run and He didn't deny it, and he was arrested at the scene.

What could drive a husband to turn with such sudden, savage violence on the woman he had shared almost thirty years of his life with?

=============================================

In December 2022, police arrested a twenty-eight-year-old criminology PhD student for the murders of four University of Idaho students.

Charging him was one thing. Convicting him was going to be another.

What followed was two and a half years of legal warfare. The state wanted the death penalty. And Bryan Kohberger, was going to make them work for every inch of it.He fought the DNA. He fought the phone records. He fought the car, the eyewitness, the indictment itself. He fought to move the trial three hundred miles. He fought to have the death penalty ruled unconstitutional in his case.But everything was Denied.By the summer of 2025, he was out of arguments, out of appeals, and weeks away from a trial that could have ended with him in front of a firing squad.And then, with almost no warning, he told an Ada County courtroom.

This is the full legal journey of Bryan Kohberger. Every motion, every ruling, the deal that stopped the trial, and the four families who had to sit and listen to it.And then, in July 2026, from a maximum security prison, he surprised everyone once again.He said he wanted to take it all back. That he had been lied to. That he was innocent.So how does a man confess to four murders, and then, a year later, say he never did it?And will Bryan Kohberger get the trial he now says he wants?
