Description

Moscow is a city located in northern Idaho, United States, with a population of approximately 25,000 people. It is the largest city and the county seat of Latah County. The city is situated in the Palouse region, known for its fertile soil and rolling hills, and is surrounded by wheat fields, forests, and mountains.Moscow is home to the University of Idaho, which is the state's flagship institution and a major research university. The university is a significant contributor to the local economy, and many businesses in the city are directly or indirectly tied to the university.

The city also has a thriving arts and culture scene, with several galleries, museums, and performance venues.In terms of recreation, Moscow has several parks and outdoor recreation areas, including the Latah Trail, the Moscow Mountain Trail System, and the Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Area. The city also hosts several annual events, including the Moscow Farmers Market, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, and the Renaissance Fair.

However, things would change forever after Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves were murdered in the early morning hours of November 13th, 2022.

What followed in the wake of the murders captivated not only the nation but the whole world as the authorities scrambled to find the person responsible for the heinous crime.

This podcast will document the Murders In Moscow from right after the murders were committed all the way through the real time evolution of the trial of the person that the authorities say is responsible, Bryan Kohberger.

We will also cover other stories that are based in the world of true crime that are currently in the courts or that are headed that way.

In late July of 2019, Epstein was found injured and semiconscious inside his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC), with marks around his neck. At the time, the jail and federal authorities reported that surveillance video showing the outside of his cell, during the incident, was missing. Prosecutors initially claimed the footage “no longer exists,” citing a clerical error or administrative mistake as the deletion reason.  The disappearance of those camera files raised immediate red flags because standard procedure for such a high-profile inmate would have required preservation of all surveillance around the time of a suspected self-harm event. Instead the footage was lost, never formally produced, and the explanation offered was that it was deleted inadvertently — not as a scheduled or justified destruction.The fact that the video was not preserved, and no credible technical reason was publicly validated for its deletion, fed the swirl of suspicion and conspiracy around Epstein’s treatment and eventual death. The failure to maintain that footage — or to provide an unbroken chain of custody or explanation for the loss — meant that one of the key pieces of physical evidence that might have explained what “really” happened during the first incident was simply unavailable. The missing video segment became a glaring hole in the official narrative, undermining procedural transparency and giving critics a tangible reason to doubt the government’s account of what happened that night.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In the majority ruling, the Eleventh Circuit denied Wild’s petition for a writ of mandamus, holding that the Crime Victims’ Rights Act of 2004 (“CVRA”) does not permit a crime-victim to initiate a freestanding civil lawsuit seeking judicial enforcement of her CVRA rights when no criminal prosecution has been formally commenced against the defendant. The court reasoned that the statute’s wording in § 3771(b)(1) ties a court’s obligation to “ensure” victims’ rights to “any court proceeding involving an offense against a crime victim,” and thus the rights trigger only once a “preexisting proceeding” exists. Because in this matter the federal government never filed charges or otherwise commenced criminal proceedings against Jeffrey Epstein in the relevant jurisdiction and context, the court held the CVRA simply was not triggered and Wild could not enforce her rights via stand-alone litigation.In his dissent, Judge Hull strongly disagreed, arguing that the plain language of §§ 3771(a)(5) and (a)(8) grants victims a “reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the Government” and a “right to be treated with fairness,” and that § 3771(d)(3) explicitly authorizes a motion for relief “if no prosecution is underway”—which, in his view, means the CVRA does create a judicial enforcement mechanism even pre-charge. Hull asserted the majority’s interpretation imposes a judicially created requirement—i.e., that an indictment or formal prosecution must be pending—when no such prerequisite appears in the statute’s text. He warned that the decision unduly favors wealthy defendants and government actors who avoid formal charges, leaving victims of pre-charge misconduct with no remedy. He would have held that Wild’s rights attached pre-charge, were violated, and that she is entitled to seek judicial enforcement.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
On January 23, 2025, a closed hearing was held in the case of State of Idaho v. Bryan C. Kohberger before Judge Steven Hippler. The primary focus was the defense's motion to suppress evidence obtained through Investigative Genetic Genealogy (IGG), which they argued violated Kohberger's Fourth Amendment rights. Detective Brett Payne testified that the IGG lead was treated as a tip, with further independent investigation conducted to substantiate its validity. Defense expert Dr. Leah Larkin suggested potential violations of FBI policy and genealogy database terms of service during the IGG process. However, Judge Hippler expressed skepticism regarding the defense's claims, noting the lack of a reasonable expectation of privacy for DNA left at a crime scene.Following the hearing, Judge Hippler ordered the release of a redacted transcript, balancing public interest with privacy concerns. Redactions included the names of surviving roommates and distant relatives identified through IGG. The unsealed portions provide insight into the investigative methods used and the defense's challenges to the evidence's admissibility. This development underscores the ongoing legal debates surrounding the use of IGG in criminal investigations and its implications for privacy and constitutional rights.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:KB-25-01-23-Hearing-Redacted.eclBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In the deposition conducted by attorney Brad Edwards in March 2010, Jeffrey Epstein faced direct questioning regarding his alleged sexual abuse of minors and the recruitment of underage girls for sexual purposes. Throughout the session, Epstein invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination more than 200 times, refusing to answer nearly every question posed to him—including inquiries about the ages of the girls who visited his Palm Beach mansion, the payments made to them, and whether he had ever engaged in sexual contact with minors. His silence extended to questions about associates, travel records, and his relationship with law enforcement officials who had handled his prior case. The deposition painted a portrait of an uncooperative and evasive witness whose primary strategy was avoidance, offering no meaningful insight into his actions or his network.Edwards, representing multiple victims, later used Epstein’s refusals to support adverse inferences in civil court—essentially arguing that Epstein’s blanket use of the Fifth Amendment implied guilt or, at minimum, awareness of wrongdoing. The deposition reinforced the picture of Epstein as a powerful man shielded by money and influence, unwilling to confront the accusations directly. It became a key piece of evidence demonstrating his long-standing pattern of avoiding accountability, helping set the stage for renewed legal scrutiny years later when federal prosecutors in New York reopened the Epstein case in 2019.to contact  me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Enough is enough. The American people have been dragged through years of lies, manipulation, half-truths, and theatrical promises about the Epstein files. We were told transparency was coming — day one, they said. We were promised sunlight, subpoenas, answers, justice. Instead, what we got was political theater, influencer photo-ops, redactions thicker than concrete, and a bipartisan effort to bury the truth deeper than Epstein’s body ever went. Every excuse in the book has been thrown at us: investigations are ongoing, national security, sensitive information, legal complexities, timing issues — you name it. Meanwhile, the survivors grow older, the criminals grow richer, and the public grows angrier. At a certain point, the game becomes obvious: they are not stalling because of process, they’re stalling because of panic.And now, the line has been drawn. It is no longer a request — it is a demand. Release the files. All of them. No more curated leaks, no more “phase one,” no more political puppetry. The country deserves every page, every email, every black book entry, every flight log, every deposition, unredacted and unfiltered. The world is watching a government terrified of its own reflection, terrified of the names that will shatter the illusion of integrity. Justice delayed is justice denied, and justice in the Epstein case has been delayed for decades. If our leaders can’t handle the truth, then step aside and let someone who can. The survivors deserve closure. The public deserves honesty. The system deserves cleansing. Enough is enough — release the files and let the chips fall where they may.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In a move widely criticized as politically motivated and structurally compromised, former SEC chairman Jay Clayton—who previously worked closely with Apollo Global Management, the private-equity firm led for decades by Jeffrey Epstein associate Leon Black—was appointed to oversee an investigation into Epstein’s alleged ties to Donald Trump’s political adversaries. Critics argue that placing someone so closely connected to a firm entangled in Epstein’s financial orbit fundamentally undermines the credibility of the inquiry. While the announcement was framed as a push for transparency, the decision raised immediate concerns about conflicts of interest and selective scrutiny. Observers note that when Trump publicly demanded investigations into his opponents, he conspicuously avoided referencing Black or Les Wexner, another figure long linked to Epstein, fueling allegations that the appointment was designed to protect insiders rather than expose them.The broader controversy highlights what many see as a calculated effort to contain the fallout from newly surfaced Epstein-related communications that could implicate individuals across both political parties. Rather than pursuing a comprehensive accounting, the administration’s strategy appears focused on limiting exposure and reframing the narrative toward partisan targets. Survivors of Epstein’s abuse and their advocates have expressed frustration that those with direct proximity to Epstein—financially and personally—continue to remain shielded while public attention is redirected. Critics contend that the government’s approach resembles damage control rather than a legitimate pursuit of justice, reinforcing suspicions that political and financial interests, rather than accountability, are driving decisions at the highest levels.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Here's what I predicted would happen back in Feb. 2025:The latest hype surrounding the supposed "Jeffrey Epstein client list" is yet another round of recycled speculation with little substantive backing. While reports claim that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is reviewing documents that may include names of high-profile individuals, the idea of a singular, definitive "client list" has always been more of a conspiracy-fueled fantasy than a verified reality. Past unsealed documents have revealed connections between Epstein and well-known figures, but nothing has  ever  been  done. The notion that some secret ledger exists, ready to blow open a vast network of elite predators, is more wishful thinking than hard fact. If such a list existed, why hasn't it surfaced in the years of legal battles, document dumps, and investigative reporting?More likely, this "impending release" is another instance of strategic leaks, sensationalism, and political maneuvering meant to stoke public outrage without delivering meaningful justice. Previous Epstein-related releases have been riddled with redactions, context-free name-dropping, and vague associations that fuel more speculation than they resolve. The real issue isn't whether a list exists—it’s whether those with actual influence will ever face real consequences. Until we see ironclad evidence, take any breathless claims about a damning "client list" with the skepticism they deserve.Here's what ended up happening:In early 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi publicly suggested that a definitive “Epstein client list” was under review, saying it was “sitting on my desk” and hinting that names of powerful people might be revealed. Over the following months, pressure mounted for the release of a large trove of documents connected to Epstein’s sex-trafficking network and possible co-conspirators. But then on July 7, 2025 a two-page memo jointly issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded that “no credible evidence” was found that Epstein maintained a list of high-profile clients or that he engaged in a blackmail scheme against prominent individuals. The memo also reiterated that Epstein died by suicide, rejecting murder theories. At the same time the DOJ stated no further disclosure of records would be appropriate or warranted.Despite that official determination, the reaction was volatile. Many supporters of the claim that a hidden list existed—especially on the right—felt betrayed and accused the administration of a cover-up. At the same time victims, researchers and journalists pointed to the fact that many Epstein-related documents remain sealed or heavily redacted, meaning the public still lacks full transparency into the network he operated. The DOJ’s decision not to push further investigations into uncharged third parties fed frustration. Further revelations complicated the matter: a transcript released in August 2025 showed that convicted associate Ghislaine Maxwell told federal officials she was unaware of any such list.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
In this appeal from a now-settled defamation case brought by Virginia Giuffre against Ghislaine Maxwell, the Second Circuit held that many of the documents under seal were properly treated as “judicial documents” to which a strong presumption of public access attached. The court reaffirmed that the status of a document as a judicial document is “fixed at filing” — meaning that if the filing was relevant to the court’s exercise of its Article III functions when filed, later events (e.g., the case being settled or the motion becoming moot) do not nullify the presumption of access. The court also clarified that a document does not lose the presumption of access simply because the court did not explicitly rely on it in rendering a decision, and that filings in connection with motions to seal or unseal are themselves judicial documents since they invoke the court’s supervisory power.At the same time, the Second Circuit affirmed in part and vacated in part the district court’s orders. It agreed that the lower court did not err in declining to unseal certain documents — for example, segments of Maxwell’s deposition involving her adult sexual relationships and redacted identifying information of pseudonymized third-parties — because in those instances countervailing privacy interests outweighed the access presumption. But the appellate court vacated the district court’s categorical refusal to treat certain undecided motions as judicial documents subject to access, and remanded for further individual review of those materials (including a Florida deposition transcript and filings by non-parties) consistent with the correct standard.to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
From the moment Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested in July 2020, she launched an aggressive series of bail attempts, all of which were rejected by federal judges who consistently found her to be an extreme flight risk. In her first effort, she requested release to home confinement with electronic monitoring, but prosecutors and the court highlighted her dual citizenships, extensive international ties, history of global travel, and large undisclosed financial resources. The court determined that no conditions—no matter how strict—could reasonably ensure that she would appear for trial. In December 2020, Maxwell’s legal team escalated their offer with a proposed $28.5 million bail package, secured by properties and supported by family members willing to act as guarantors. She also offered to waive her citizenships and abide by 24-hour armed guard monitoring, but the judge again ruled that her financial reach and international network made her uniquely capable of disappearing if released.Following that failure, Maxwell submitted multiple additional bail requests in early 2021, each one attempting to address prior objections and each one rejected. The court pointed to documented efforts she had made to evade law enforcement, including hiding on a secluded New Hampshire estate and transferring assets through shell accounts, as evidence that she could not be trusted to remain under supervision. Prosecutors emphasized that her wealth was deliberately obscured, her ties to countries that do not extradite were significant, and the allegations against her were extraordinarily serious. Even her appeals to the Second Circuit were denied, affirming the lower court’s conclusion that she posed a flight risk that no bail package could mitigate. Ultimately, her detention remained in place until trial and conviction.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Bill Richardson’s political career in New Mexico has long been shadowed by persistent allegations of corruption that never fully disappeared, even after federal prosecutors declined to bring charges. The most serious accusations centered on a suspected “pay-to-play” network in which state investment contracts and pension-fund deals allegedly flowed to major campaign donors during his tenure as governor. Multiple reports detailed how financial firms that contributed heavily to Richardson’s political committees later secured lucrative placement fees or state investment mandates, raising questions about whether public funds were being used to reward political loyalty rather than financial merit. Additional claims — including accusations that judicial applicants were pressured to donate to Richardson-aligned campaigns — only deepened public suspicion that political access and personal advancement in the state were intertwined in ways that undermined transparency and trust.Because these allegations sit atop an already troubled history of political ethics scandals in New Mexico, watchdog groups and legal observers argue that the entire system demands a comprehensive, independent investigation. The state has endured a long pattern of corruption cases involving high-ranking officials, from state treasurers convicted of extortion and racketeering to judges implicated in political bribery schemes. Against that backdrop, the unresolved questions surrounding Richardson’s tenure — the investment deals, the political fundraising machinery, and the federal probe that forced him to withdraw from a Cabinet nomination — continue to raise legitimate concerns about oversight failures. A full, transparent examination of these issues is not only warranted but necessary if New Mexico hopes to repair public confidence and determine whether political influence distorted the management of taxpayer money.to contact me:bbbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
Steve Mnuchin’s ties to Jean-Luc Brunel surfaced when public corporate records showed Mnuchin listed as the official “state point of contact” for Next Management Corporation, the U.S. entity founded by Brunel and his brother in 1988. The designation placed Mnuchin on paperwork connected to Brunel’s modeling empire — the same empire later accused of funneling underage girls to Jeffrey Epstein. Mnuchin’s office publicly distanced him from the connection, claiming he had no memory of meeting Brunel, no involvement with the company, and no explanation for why his name appeared on the documents. But the linkage remains one of the many odd, unresolved overlaps in the Epstein network where powerful figures appear on paperwork nobody seems eager to explain.Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly acknowledged that he flew twice on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet. He said the first flight was in 1993 when he was traveling to Florida with his wife and two children, and the second occurred on another occasion when he was joined by his wife and four children going to South Dakota “to go fossil hunting”. He asserted these trips took place about thirty years ago, before Epstein’s criminal conduct was widely known, and insisted he was never alone with Epstein.  Kennedy emphasized that his participation was incidental and familial in nature—he described the flights as carrying his family on leisure or research-oriented outings, not as part of any ongoing relationship with Epstein. He also called for full transparency around Epstein’s network and urged that the “high-level political people” involved in Epstein’s activities be subject to public disclosure.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Alice Poe filed a civil complaint under a pseudonym (Alice Poe) against Epstein’s estate, alleging that she had been sexually abused by Epstein over a long period starting when she was a minor. Media reports state she accused him of grooming her, abusing her for about 15 years, and moving her through his orbit under false pretenses.In connection with her lawsuit, she sought a Motion to Proceed Anonymously (i.e., to keep her identity under seal) — asking the court to let her use the pseudonym “Alice Poe” rather than her real name. The motion was grounded in the highly sensitive personal nature of the alleged abuse and the risks she claimed would come with having her identity publicly revealed — including trauma, stigma, and potential retaliation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
President Trump’s recent call for an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal — even though driven by his desire to target political enemies — has unexpectedly opened the door to the one thing victims, journalists, and the public have demanded for decades: a full, unfiltered, scorched-earth investigation into the entire Epstein network. Regardless of Trump’s motives, the demand for a comprehensive inquiry is long overdue. The evidence already available is more than sufficient to launch a massive multi-pronged federal RICO case involving human trafficking, financial crimes, money laundering, international transport of minors, conspiracy, bribery, foreign intelligence ties, prosecutorial misconduct, and systemic institutional corruption. If accountability is real, then every person connected — billionaires, politicians, bankers, intelligence agents, celebrities, academics, royals, lawyers, prosecutors, and yes, Donald Trump himself — must be investigated without exception or favoritism. Justice cannot be selective. No more theatrics, no more distraction campaigns, no more redaction games.The only viable pathway forward is the appointment of an independent special investigator with absolute authority — someone outside the political system, immune to pressure, blackmail, influence, or partisan interference. The investigation must include full subpoena power, unrestricted access to financial records, sealed depositions, recovered digital evidence, and sworn testimony from every powerful figure who once believed they were untouchable. Anything less is cosmetic theater. This is no longer about Republican vs. Democrat, or about protecting reputations — it is about whether the United States still possesses the moral backbone and institutional will to pursue truth when it threatens the elite class. If Trump truly has nothing to hide, he should welcome the spotlight. If others do, they should tremble. The time for excuses has expired. Appoint the investigator. Open the vault. And let the truth burn.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
