Police are breaking their silence in the University of Idaho murder case hours after Judge Steven Hippler lifted the nondissemination order, revealing information about the status of the investigation and interactions with admitted killer Bryan Kohberger.

In One Night in Idaho: The College Murders, the killer’s name isn’t mentioned until the third episode. Liz Garbus and Matthew Galkin, the filmmakers behind the new four-part series, had other things they wanted to explore when it came to the horrific homicide of four college students in 2022.

An Idaho judge lifted a gag order on Thursday (July 17) in the high-profile murder case involving Bryan Kohberger, who pleaded guilty to the 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students. The order had previously barred police and prosecutors from discussing the case publicly.

On Nov. 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in an off-campus house in a crime that sent shockwaves through the town.

A pair of docs about the 2022 University of Idaho student murders were released within eight days of each other — and within nine days of the killer’s shocking guilty plea.

Bryan Kohberger was set to go to trial for the 2022 killings of four undergrad students. Then he pleaded guilty.

Kohberger, who was a graduate student at Washington State University, near the University of Idaho, admitted responsibility for the murders of sorority girls Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and a fraternity brother Ethan Chapin, 20.

The College Murders' Director Matthew Galkin discusses his path to helping bring this version of the real-life nightmare to the screen.
