Hey everyone, I'm Ashley Banfield and this is Drop Dead Sirius.

In the weeks after the Idaho student murders back in 2022, investigators arrested somebody

that stopped pretty much all of us cold. cold was a suspect that made no sense.

A PhD student named Brian Coburger, guy from Pennsylvania, he was at the university

next door and basically had zero connection that we knew about to the four innocent kids

that were butchered. All of that is well known. But there's been a question

ever since the authorities stormed his family's home in rural Pennsylvania, just a little

over a month since the bloodbath at 1122 King Road. And that is, what did Brian Koberger's family know about him, if anything?

And when did they know it again, if they knew anything at all?

Brian was arrested that night in late December 2022 and for three long years, during which

Koberger confessed to killing those four kids,

right, and was sentenced to life in prison, Coburgers family faced a ton of suspicion

and speculation that somehow they had known what had happened all along and that they kept their

mouth shut. They even got compared to Brian Laundry's parents. They did keep quiet in public

throughout Brian's entire detention, as well as his guilty pleas and that sentencing, they stayed quiet.

But now his older sister, Mel Koberger, is speaking out.

She did an interview with the New York Times.

And in the interview, Mel Koberger says that she and her mom and her dad and her sister Amanda were all dumbfounded and devastated to learn what the investigators suspected.

And then, of course, what her brother eventually admitted to.

Earlier on my News Nation show Banfield,

I went over all of the revelations that Mel lined out in this interview with the New York Times.

And then I talked to our senior national correspondent at News Nation, Brian Enton.
