0:00.0	Content warning, this episode contains discussion of violence and murder.
0:07.1	So there's been one murder case that we've been following behind the scenes for quite some time
0:12.5	as consumers of news rather than reporters because it's a very big case and for a very long time
0:20.0	there it seemed to be big on speculation and questions and pretty short on concrete answers.
0:27.2	And that of course is the quadruple homicide of four university students in Idaho,
0:35.3	also commonly called the Idaho murders. This is a really horrific and upsetting case
0:42.0	and as such it's attracted a lot of attention and a lot of anger and people wanting answers very
0:48.8	understandably. The murder victims were Kaley Gonzalez, Ethan Chapin,
0:56.0	Zanna Cronrodal and Madison Mogen, Zanna and Ethan were both 20, Madison and Kaley were both 21.

1:54.7	the probable cause affidavit in the case just robbed. And to explain the reason why there was a
2:03.5	delay between the arrest and the probable cause affidavit was because of a requirement of Idaho
2:12.9	state law. Idaho state law says you can't release the probable cause affidavit until the person
2:19.8	who's been arrested is in the custody of Idaho law enforcement. And this man Cobrager was actually
2:27.8	arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania over the Christmas holidays. And it was only recently,
2:36.1	actually last, as we speak, it was just yesterday that he was returned to Idaho. And so that's
