Hi, everyone. It's Blaine Alexander and we are talking Dateline. I'm joined by the one and only

Keith Morrison to talk about his latest episode, The Terrible Night on King Road. Hi, Keith.

Hi, how are you? And it's nice to see you and hear you too, for those who weren't seeing you.

Good to see you and hear you too, my friend. So before we

jump in, if you haven't seen it, it's the episode right below this one on your Dateline

podcast feed. So make sure to go there, listen to it, or stream it on Peacott, and then come right

back here. Now, just to recap, in the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students were found

stabbed to death in their home. With the trial of Brian Coburger, the man accused of killing

the students now just 12 weeks away, Keith and his team revealed the results of their groundbreaking

two-year investigation into this case. The episode sheds incredible new light on the murders and just

what happened that night on King Road. For this talking Dateline, we want to tell you, of course,

a little bit more about who those four students were that were murdered that night through the

eyes of those who loved them best. Okay, let's talk Dateline, Keith. Right. You know, before we jump into this discussion, I think it's important to note that this episode is so different from the episodes and stories that we typically do on Dateline, right?

Because by the time we get our hands on a story, usually the case is adjudicated.

Somebody has either been found guilty or acquitted. And that is, of course, not the case here.

Usually, yes, that's correct.

Occasionally, we will do a series of stories, as we have done in this case, soon after a crime occurs and then kind of follow it through the process as leads toward trial.

This case, every detail is being

fought out in court. It's one of which we have had to be very, very careful in the way we do it.

And we understood from the start and continue to understand. And I think everybody needs to

understand that in our court system, the man accused in this case is innocent until and unless he's proven guilty.

And so everything we report is based on that premise.
