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. But Sunday morning, four University of Idaho students are found stabbed to death in their beds.

The witness "heard a conversation" and looked out the window, the witness hears "a shot" and doesn't flinch...is gunfire so commonplace in New York that a glance out the window is a hassle? I was frustrated on behalf of the police investigating

This was a very interesting podcast, my only criticism is that the episodes are ridiculously short. This entire podcast could have been done in 3 episodes, 4 at the most. Other than the length of duration, this was a good look inside a police station and how murders are investigated 🔎

I enjoyed it. I listen to all the true crime & unsolved podcasts. I hadn't heard about this case before. It does have a familiar ABC news style about it. It should be solvable... the more people that listen, the more likely that will happen. Peace to the family.

I enjoyed the podcast, but have to agree somewhat with the other comments. It dragged. Easily could have been a great 3 parter.

interesting story but the sound effects and background noise definitely made it harder to follow. it was just very distracting. It is always good to hear from the actual people but probably not necessary to hear a typewriter in the background!

Love this podcast. Awesome true crime podcast. And it's great to hear a podcast like this that takes place in NY... All of the other true crime podcasts take place in Canada or Atlanta.

Maundering, aimless minutes padded out with sound effects. This series is padding, padding, padding. Get on with it! Seven parts ought to be three.

Wonderful presentation but episodes 3 & 4 are nothing but a waste of time with no new indignation. Perhaps a way to prolong the story. I hate to say that because I was really loving this show but sounds like it was a 4 or 5 episode story, not 7.
