MOSCOW, ID – Friday’s Dateline NBC will reveal new details about the investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students, according to the network.
Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were murdered in an off campus rental home near the University of Idaho in November of 2022. According to NBC, the new Dateline special features never-before-reported evidence, including video, photographic and digital materials that investigators say track accused killer Bryan Kohberger’s movements.
Kohberger has pleaded not guilty in the case. His Boise trial is set to begin in August.
During the two-hour broadcast, former students also open up to correspondent Keith Morrison for the first time about their interactions with Kohberger. Former graduate student Holly tells Dateline that after meeting Kohberger at a pool party and telling him about a hiking group she was a part of, they exchanged phone numbers. The next day, she received a text from him about hiking with “peculiar” wording, explaining: “It was almost overly formal.”
The special includes interviews with friends of the victims, including the mother of Mogen’s best friend, as well as in-depth analysis from criminology and genetics experts. Dateline has previously aired two specials on the investigation.
The episode can be seen locally on KHQ-TV, Channel 6, at 9:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday.
