Homicide detectives and even killers categorize the slain four University of Idaho students as “shiny” victims.
They were young, innocent, and attractive.
John Moriarty, the former Inspector General of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, says such cases motivate investigators to go the extra mile to solve the crime.
“It’s the ultimate good versus evil,” said Moriarty.
Investigators used sophisticated techniques detailed in an arrest warrant affidavit, including DNA, cell phone data, and ubiquitous video surveillance cameras, to charge 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger with murdering four University of Idaho students in their off-campus home on November 13, 2022.
If Kohberer, a Ph.D. criminology student at the University of Washington, is convicted, it will prove the adage that some criminals return to the scene of the crime.
In this episode of True Crime Reporter®, John Moriarty and investigative reporter Robert Riggs walk listeners through details contained in the arrest warrant.
