It's a preview from forty eight Hours, one of the top true crime podcasts.

true crime shows. I'm about to play you a clip from forty eight Hours
while you're listening. Follow forty eight Hours on the Wondering app or wherever you
get your podcasts. Okay, here's the clip. Forty eight Hours correspondent Peter
van Zant takes us back to the nine of November thirteenth, twenty twenty two,
to the University of Idaho, the scene of the now infamous and chilling
murders of four young students. Listen in as van Zant speaks with a few
family members of the victims. Moscow will forever be known as a scene of
one of the most tragic crimes in American history. There's still sort of a
darkness whenever you talk to people. It would be ever part of the university's
history and the town's history. There are four very, very important names in
this case, Kayley Gonsolvi is Madison Mogen Zannakernodle, and Ethan Shapin. And
if you're going to remember any names from this case, I ask that it
be all four. My name is Olivia Gonzolvez and Kaylee was my little sister.
Everybody's going to work and you look out the window and there's kids running
down the street laughing, and you're just like, how can you be out
there playing? My daughter's did you know? Kayley Gonsolvis is gone. Stop
everything everybody in the whole world stop, and everything just keeps going. My
sisters and a Carnal is one of the happiest, funniest people I've ever met,
and I had the awesome privilege of growing up with her, and I
still have a hard time coming to terms with the facts that did happen.
Brian Coburger is accused of stabbing these four University of the Idaho students in the
pre dawn hours on November thirteenth, twenty twenty two. The murder weapon,
which was a knife, has never been found. This is a type of
survival knife. Brian Coburger did not make his own plea. The judge entered
a plea for him of not guilty, absolute penalties of life in prison for
the data. Due to the nature of the crimes, the state of I
was seeking the death penalty. He was there to kill. He came in
with the kid. I believe he had to kill kid. And you believe
that everything right down to the implement of destruction, this large marine knife,
that was all planned, all planned. It is inhumane. You wouldn't do
these type of things to any living creature, let alone an innocent human being.
In August of twenty twenty three, just six weeks before the murdered trial
of Brian Kolberger was set to begin, he waved his right to a speedy
trial. Absolutely they would have to wait indefinitely for their day in court.
I was really hoping that we could get this show on the road because the
not knowing, it's just it's agony. It's agony. Steve and Christie,
the parents of Kyley, haven't left anything to chance. After the judge issued
a gag order to attorneys and law enforcement quote to preserve the right to a
fair trial, they drilled down on their own investigation and are now sharing what
they believe that investigation found. Steve says he believes transparency is the best path
to justice. We're not going to just sit back and cross our fingers and
pray that we're going to get justice. It has been a long and painful
journey for the families of Kaylee Gonzalvas, Matti Mogan, Zanna Kernodle, and
Ethan Chapin. Do you ever dream of your sister? Yeah, We've had
some dreams of her. There's times where I prayed and ask God seerc another
time, and I did, and excuse me some peace, knowing that you
know she's okay. Jasmine Coronadal, who was speaking for the first time,
was a senior at Washington State University and lived only fifteen minutes away from her
younger sister Zanna. Often mistaken as twins growing up, she says they were
best friends. She was always fun, she was uplifting, and she took
any bad situation turned it into a good one. Jeff, what did you
love most about your daughter? Everything? She cared about people. She was
a people person, scared about her friends. This is niceas like your family.
For the first time in her life, Zanna had fallen in love with
fellow student Ethan Chapin, a triplet who loved his siblings, boats and working
on a tulip farm. The sweetest kid ever. They were just two happy
people and they's just seen the videos and photos of them. You can just
like tell how happy they are. They're just amazing together. Sadly, they
will now forever be linked in death. On Sunday morning, November thirteenth,
Zanna's friends started calling Jasmine, saying something bad had happened on King Road.
Jasmine rushed over to Zanna's house. And while you're driving that eight nine miles
over to the house, are you trying to reach your sister? Then?
How many times do you call her? A lot? They called her at
Her next call was to her father. Jeffrey had been visiting Jasmine for dad's
weekend and was on his way home. So you answered the phone. What
do you hear? You're kind of crying and just telling me to get back
to Moscow and meet me Zanna's house, and you know, my heart drops
instantly race back down earth. The house was cordoned off and swarming with investigators.
As soon as Jeffrey said he was Zanna's father, he and Jasmine were
escorted to the Moscow Police Department and Jasmine, What does the officers say to
you and your father? Oh? I remember exactly just that. Four people
passed way and the one was Sannah overstay your life is your worst name?
There? Do you sappen? Do you know? What do you do?
