The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery

by ABC News

When four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their off-campus house on King Road, the media descended on the tiny town of Moscow, Idaho. ABC News Correspondent Kayna Whitworth brings listeners behind the scenes as she investigates the savage murders that captivated and horrified the nation in the winter of 2022. The King Road Killings, an immersive, reported series from ABC Audio, follows the case against Bryan Kohberger, the criminology PhD student charged with the murders. In the series, Whitworth takes a close look at why these students might have been targeted, how fear can grip a town when little information comes from law enforcement, and what happens when your community becomes the latest “true crime” storyline.

Wanted to know more about this case, but didn’t want to listen to the speculations of another True Crime amateur. Ms. Whitworth reports with journalistic integrity and without all the slant and conjecture of a lot of the other shows on this tragedy. She investigates leads that even the court case hasn’t looked into, very enjoyable and very informative.

It’s so nice that you get straight to the story instead of rambling on about a bunch of other nonsense or bantering with a co-host. It’s very refreshing. Great writing with great delivery. The music is strategically placed and just right…not too hot, not too cold. Perfect voice for storytelling…clear and concise.

I have overlook little errors in this podcast because overall it seemed decently researched until the Howard Bloom episode. Such reckless journalist to introduce his book, written PRIOR to a trial that’s under jag order. Howard speaks on tidbits from rumors and PCA then assigns those words to the victims & defendant/defendant family members as though he was there to witness theses utterances, thoughts & actions. This sensationalism is disappointing at best. Do better for all involved!

God willing most of us will never know what it’s like to be a family member tied to a tragedy such as this. But this was, for the most part, a gratuitous episode. The trial updates were useful but the rest of the episode should have been covered in mere minutes. The latter part of the episode was sensationalized by the host and did not feel like journalism to me.
