Summary
Three cases. Three families. None of them have the answers they were promised.
Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students and is serving life without parole — but his own defense expert is now publicly alleging the key physical evidence had serious chain of custody problems, and a new book by a former FBI agent reveals untested crime scene evidence that wasn't Kohberger's. The plea buried everything.
Nick Reiner sits in a Los Angeles jail facing two counts of first-degree murder with death penalty eligibility for the stabbing deaths of his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner. The autopsy reports still aren't finished. The preliminary hearing just got pushed to September. His public defender hasn't tipped her hand on whether a mental health defense is coming. And the family is enduring every delay in a case where the accused is their own blood.
Tupac Shakur's family just filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming Keffe D and one hundred unnamed co-conspirators — nearly three decades after the rapper was gunned down in Las Vegas. The lawsuit is designed to force testimony from people who have never faced a subpoena.
Keffe D's criminal trial is set for August. The witnesses are vanishing. And the family has already lost nearly everyone. Eric Faddis — criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor — joins Hidden Killers to break down all three cases in one extended conversation covering the evidence, the legal strategies, the failures, and the families still fighting for something the system keeps deferring.
