Everything you need to know about Bryan Kohberger and The Idaho Murders
Netflix viewers have branded the streaming giant’s latest true crime documentary ‘a hard watch’ as it explores the horrifying Idaho student murders.
The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare investigates the brutal stabbing deaths of four University of Idaho students in November 2022. Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin were killed in an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho.
Two roommates survived the attack by hiding in a bedroom after one heard screams and saw a man dressed in black. As one viewer commented on Reddit: ‘This show does a really good job of looking at the victims as people. It’s really heartbreaking.’
Bryan Christopher Kohberger, a PhD criminology student, was arrested and sentenced to four consecutive life sentences without parole in July 2025. However, he later filed a petition seeking to withdraw his guilty pleas and proceed to trial.
The motive behind the killings has never been disclosed and there appears to be no connection between the victims and Kohberger prior to the attack other than that he was studying at the nearby Washington State University.
Documentary director Skye Borgman said families wanted to show the victims as ‘alive, bright, happy, amazing people’ rather than just victims. The series focuses on remembering what was lost rather than glorifying the killer. Survivors continue to struggle with guilt, with a friend revealing: “They’re going to be dealing with this for the rest of their lives.”
The students were fatally stabbed in an off-campus house in the early hours of the morning, but the motive behind the killings has never been disclosed.
The tragic deaths were covered extensively in the press and the case has been revisited in a number of TV shows, including Prime Video’s One Night in Idaho: The College Murders.
Viewers have already shared their thoughts on the Netflix documentary, with one saying on Reddit: “This show does a really good job of looking at the victims as people. It’s really heartbreaking.”
Another commented on Instagram: “This is going to be a very hard watch,” while another shared: “This case still haunts me.” Here is all you need to know about what happened.
When did the Idaho Murders happen?
The murders took place in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, in an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho.
Five roommates, plus a partner of one of the students, were in the house by 2am after spending the night at various locations.
Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen were two of the students who survived the attack, both hiding in the same bedroom.
In February 2023, a friend of the survivors spoke to PEOPLE about how the roommates were still impacted by the murders, saying: “They feel a lot of survivor’s guilt.
“Their friends are gone and they’re still here. It’s been really rough on them. They’re going to be dealing with this for the rest of their lives.”
Who were the Idaho Murders victims?
Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin were the four victims and they had all been close friends. On the night they were killed, survivor Dylan, who was a junior at the time and living in a room off the side of the kitchen, heard someone scream in the house.
She recalled how she thought she overheard an unfamiliar male voice saying: “It’s okay. I’m going to help you”. Feeling nervous, she ran to her door and locked it, trying to call all of her roommates, but nobody was answering.
She went over to her door and opened it to see a man dressed in all black, but he did not approach her. She returned to her room, where she called Bethany Funke, later joining her in her bedroom, where the two locked themselves in.
The Netflix documentary’s director, Skye Borgman, said she was keen for the film to focus on the victims and not their killer.
She said: “When I was able to sit down and talk to the families, both before we started shooting and during the shooting, that’s one thing that they really wanted to get across: They weren’t just victims.
“They were alive, bright, happy, amazing people. And it was really important for them to tell this story and to put that message forward — what we lost.”
Who was charged for the killings?
On December 30, 2022, police arrested Bryan Christopher Kohberger on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.
At the time of the murders, he was a PhD student completing his first semester at Washington State University in Pullman.
In July 2025, the doctoral student in criminology was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences in prison without parole, as well as another ten years for burglary, after issuing guilty pleas.
In July 2026, Kohberger filed a handwritten petition seeking to withdraw his guilty pleas and proceed to trial. The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare is on Netflix

U.S. alpine skiing great Bode Miller is facing two misdemeanor drug charges following his arrest in Idaho earlier this month.
The actual drug involved and who possessed it isn’t clear, with Miller and the arresting officer providing different accounts of those details from the June 6 arrest in Fremont County.
The six-time Olympic medalist has implied he was arrested because, unbeknownst to him, his friend was carrying cannabis and a pipe while riding in a car Miller was driving. While legal in several states for recreation or medical use, cannabis remains illegal in Idaho.
“I was pulled over for accelerating while passing another vehicle on a highway in Idaho,” Miller, 48, said in a statement posted Tuesday on Instagram. “My friend, who was traveling with me, had a small amount of cannabis and a cannabis pipe in his possession which I was unaware of. We fully cooperated with the officer.”
Fremont County Sheriff’s Deputy Jacob Hurt wrote in a probable cause statement that he found Miller with a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms (a.k.a. magic mushrooms or shrooms).
While illegal under federal law, psilocybin has been decriminalized in Colorado and Oregon for treatments, with some health advocates saying it can help ease anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.
On June 12, Miller pleaded not guilty to possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of one year in jail. A pretrial hearing is scheduled for July 29.
“I am hopeful the misdemeanor charges will be dropped once the facts are reviewed,” Miller said in his Instagram statement.
A five-time Olympic participant, Miller has won more medals than any other U.S. skier, including gold in the super combined at the 2010 Vancouver Games. He was the overall World Cup champion in 2005 and 2008 and won six World Cup discipline titles (three in combined, two in super-G, one in giant slalom).
