On November 13th, 2022, just hours after a typical game day at the University Of Idaho, four college students – Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin – were found murdered in an off-campus house. In July of 2025, Bryan Kohberger, a former PhD student studying criminology at the neighboring Washington State University, pleaded guilty to all four of their murders. For the past three years, Kohberger’s family has largely stayed silent in the aftermath of the tragedy — until now. Less than six months after Kohberger was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, one of his older sister’s, Mel Kohberger, sat down with the New York Times, not to talk about the crimes, but to share part of her family’s story. Howard Blum, author of "When the Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders," joins “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the interview.
