The biggest unanswered questions in University of Idaho slayings after Kohberger plea, according to ex-FBI agent

Bryan Kohberger’s plea deal left several burning questions unanswered about the final moments of the four University of Idaho students he butchered to death, an ex-FBI agent said in the latest episode of “Pod Force One.” Chris Whitcomb told “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine that a vacuum of evidence was left behind in Kohberger’s quadruple homicide case when the convicted killer took a plea deal last July — dodging a much-anticipated trial and skirting the death penalty. Whitcomb’s book, “Broken Plea: The Explosive Search for the Truth Behind the Idaho Murders,” released in late April, details the overlooked inconsistencies in the November 2022 murders through court records, investigative timelines and witness statements.
