When four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their off-campus house on King Road, the media descended on the tiny town of Moscow, Idaho. ABC News Correspondent Kayna Whitworth brings listeners behind the scenes as she investigates the savage murders that captivated and horrified the nation in the winter of 2022. The King Road Killings, an immersive, reported series from ABC Audio, follows the case against Bryan Kohberger, the criminology PhD student charged with the murders. In the series, Whitworth takes a close look at why these students might have been targeted, how fear can grip a town when little information comes from law enforcement, and what happens when your community becomes the latest “true crime” storyline. A five-part narrative series, plus special update episodes as new information comes to light. Look for Season 2 at the start of the trial.

This show is professionally done. There is a good focus on the victims. But in the final episode there is too much emphasis on whether the touch DNA is enough to convict. This is a red herring. The touch DNA was used as an investigate tool to identify a suspect. I am sure the authorities have loads of other evidence on which to convict after the search of the suspect’s house, car, and phone records. I would not be surprised if the touch DNA is not introduced at the trial.
Poorly done

This true crime podcast is dramatic, often using an appeal to emotion at the expense of journalistic integrity. The storytelling feels sensationalized, leaving serious gaps in accuracy and depth. If you're looking for balanced reporting, this podcast falls disappointingly short.

This is exactly what long time, long form true crime enthusiasts look for. Already up there with the greats, Bear Brook, Serial etc. really great work, please continue with a season 2 different case.
