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?

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.

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?

On the morning of Sunday 24 April 2016, a group of tourists were exploring the rugged coastline of the Munmorah State Conservation Area on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, when something caught their attention below the lookout at Snapper Point.

As the powerful surf surged through the blowhole, the object repeatedly surfaced before disappearing beneath the white foam. At first, they couldn’t tell what they were looking at. Then it rolled over, and the horrifying truth became unmistakable. It was the naked body of a young woman, floating face down as the waves dragged her violently across the jagged rocks.

Police were called immediately, and a dangerous recovery operation began along the slippery coastline. A rescue helicopter went down to retrieve the body. Detectives quickly ruled out any possibility of an accident. The young woman had been stabbed almost 40 times, with the fatal wound to her throat. They believed she had been deliberately left there, not carried in by the sea.

She had no identification, no phone, no bag, and nothing to reveal who she was or how she had ended up on a stretch of coastline.

It would take homicide detectives days just to learn her name and to find out who had murdered her.

And when they finally did, the answer was far closer to home than anyone could have imagined.

On the evening of 18 May 2012, in a quiet gated condominium community in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, a seventeen-year-old boy dialled 911 from inside.

He was bleeding. He told the dispatcher his grandmother had shot him, and that he was going to die.

Before help could reach him, more shots rang out.

The woman who fired them was not a stranger, she was Sandra Layne, his grandmother.

When police arrived at the scene, she told them: "I murdered my grandson."

What had happened inside that home?

Was this the act of a frightened, elderly woman defending herself against a troubled and volatile teenager?

Or was it something else entirely?

In Australia in the early fifties, one man had created his own superhero.

Leonard Keith Lawson was barely in his mid-twenties when he gave the country The Lone Avenger — a masked Wild West vigilante, riding out of the fictional town of Redrock to make things right. Children swore the Lone Avenger's Code. They wore the replica gun belts. They queued at newsagents for the next issue.

At its peak, the comic was selling seventy thousand copies an issue across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

He was twenty-six years old, married with three children, and one of the most recognised names on Australian news-stands.

But underneath all of it, something dark had been growing. Something that had been there for a long time — waiting.

And on the morning of the seventh of May, 1954, it finally got out.

Five young women drove into the bush with Leonard Lawson that day. What happened in those trees would change everything — and would end with Leonard standing in a courtroom, a death sentence hanging over his head.

But the sentence didn't hold. After seven years, he walked free.

He was out for just five months, and In that time, he would take two young lives — and set in motion a chain of events that would claim a third.

This is the story of Leonard Keith Lawson. The comic book killer.

On the morning of February 8th, 1997, Kelly Gissendaner began making frantic phone calls from her home in Auburn, Georgia.

Her husband, thirty-year-old Douglas Gissendaner, had never come home the night before.At first, the possibilities seemed endless.

Maybe his car had broken down. Maybe he had been involved in an accident. Maybe he was lying injured somewhere, unable to get help.

But thirty-six hours later, deep in the woods of Gwinnett County, investigators discovered a burned-out vehicle. The car belonged to Douglas.

Then, less than two weeks later, Douglas Gissendaner’s body was found face down in the dirt, still on his knees.

He had been kidnapped, driven to a remote stretch of road, and brutally stabbed to death.Initially, investigators believed it may have been a robbery gone wrong.

But as police began digging deeper into Douglas’s marriage, they uncovered a months-long affair, dozens upon dozens of secret phone calls, a carefully constructed alibi, and what prosecutors would later describe as a cold, calculated, and meticulously planned murder plot.

And at the centre of it all… was Douglas’s own wife.

On the morning of October 9th, 2020, a Texas state trooper spotted a woman driving erratically, close to the Texas–Oklahoma border.

When the trooper pulled the vehicle over, the driver was frantic. She was screaming for help, claiming she had just given birth on the side of the road. Sitting in her lap was a newborn baby girl who wasn't breathing. The baby's umbilical cord was still attached, and blood covered the woman's clothing. Everything about the scene suggested that she had only just given birth.

An ambulance was called immediately, and both the woman and the infant were rushed to a hospital in Idabel, Oklahoma.

But once doctors began examining the woman, something didn't make sense. Despite her claims, there were no signs that she had recently given birth.

As medical staff tried to understand what was happening, investigators began piecing together a far darker picture.

Because around 70 miles away, in New Boston, Texas, 21-year-old Reagan Simmons-Hancock had been found dead inside her home. Reagan was 35 weeks pregnant when she was brutally attacked, and her unborn daughter, Braxlynn, had been cut from her body.

The woman back at the hospital, claiming the baby was hers and that she had just given birth was Taylor Parker.

This is the tragic case of Taylor Parker, and how her actions stole two innocent lives and shattered a community forever.
