Discretion is advised. Welcome to Vinny Politan Investigates. I'm Julia Janay filling in for Vinipolitan tonight. We are taking a closer look at the case of four University of Idaho students who are killed in their sleep, a case that has drawn so many questions from the public, from family members, and now we're getting more answers post a sentencing of the killer. Here's the story.

In the early morning hours of November 13th, 2022, a brutal horror unfolded in the quiet college town of Moscow, Idaho. Four University of Idaho students, Kaylee Consolves, Madison

Mogan, Zana Kurnodal, and Ethan Chapin were savagely stabbed to death in their off-campus home.

And the man arrested and charged was Brian Kohlberger, who had studied criminology in grad school.

Prosecutors said they accumulated a significant amount of evidence, including DNA, cell phone records, surveillance video, and a knife sheath.

Prosecutors wanted the death penalty, but ultimately, in a move that shocked many, they reached

a deal with Koeberger, a deal that kept capital punishment off the table, sparing the life

of this quadruple murderer. At his sentencing hearing, family members of the victims didn't hold back, bearing their grief, pain, and disgust with the defendant.

Just hours after Coburgers' multiple life sentences were made official, investigators released a mountain of information, new insight into how the atrocity played out and what they learned about koeberger's movements

the family members of those four students they've been asking for questions from the very beginning

and some have even reported that they weren't kept abreast of some of the things that were happening

behind the scenes but now we do have more and that's after we had an emotional sentencing hearing with all of those family and friends

in one place.

Here's a listen back to two of those surviving roommates, plus the father of one of the victims.

I was so frantic that morning and scared death, not knowing what had happened.

And when I made the 911-1 call, I couldn't even get out the words.

That was the worst day of my life.

Zana was one in a million.
