Truth and Lies: The Boston Strangler

It began as a weekend of football, parties, late-night food and good friends -- a normal Saturday night in the college town of Moscow, Idaho.

Presenting the first episode of the new true-crime podcast "The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery," a series that goes behind the scenes of the investigation into the savage murders of four University of Idaho students -- a case that captivated and horrified the nation in the winter of 2022.
