S1 Ep13: Bryan Kohberger – The Idaho College Murders

In the early hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were brutally stabbed to death in their off-campus home. The case shocked the nation, and for weeks, there were no suspects, no murder weapon, and no answers. But the trail eventually led to Bryan Kohberger, a criminology PhD student with a chilling interest in the psychology of murder. In this episode, we follow the investigation, the digital and forensic clues, and explore Kohberger's intense birth chart featuring a Scorpio Sun, Cancer Moon, and six Scorpio placements that paint a portrait of obsession, secrecy, and calculated control.   SHOW NOTES: Connect with us across streaming platforms and social media, and explore ways to support our work through our Linktree.
