The college town of Moscow, Idaho, was thrust into the news in November 2022 when four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their home while two other housemates slept nearby. The murders led to a month-long investigation. Idaho State Police, in conjunction with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, arrested the suspected killer, Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D. student at nearby Washington State University, at his family’s home in Pennsylvania. 20/20 and 48 Hours have covered the case, but true crime enthusiasts are curious to see if Netflix produces a documentary on the case. Considering the streaming service provider’s penchant for true crime, it feels like a possibility.
