The host of The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery podcast spent months investigating this story. It was hard for journalist Kayna Whitworth to comprehend this crime. But because she was there from the day after the murder, she captured what others couldn't.

Moscow, Idaho, was an idyllic college town by the mountains. It had a reputation for being a party place, especially after football games. But students felt safe to be young and carefree. This made the details of the murder so much more horrific. The fact that a masked man could walk into a house and stab four students in their beds was unbelievable. Even more terrifying was how two other roommates were home at the time. The killer was methodical and meticulous enough to avoid anyone hearing or seeing a thing.

From the first day of reporting, Kayna felt uneasy about the crime. Not only was it gruesome and large-scale, but there was also no suspect. For the first few weeks, law enforcement provided no information. This led to a sense of terror among the Moscow residents. Anyone around them could have been the killer, and nowhere felt safe.

On top of that, people from all over the nation traveled to the area to try and solve the mystery. True crime bloggers, Reddit sleuths, and journalists thought they could outdo the police. Kanya was one of those reporters, but her approach was different. Instead of focusing on the culprit, she directed her attention to Moscow.

The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery tells the account of a small town in shambles. The podcast includes devastating interviews with family members and residents. It follows, in real-time, the investigation, the manhunt, and the suspect's capture.

Because Kanya shows care and respect, the podcast doesn't feel exploitative. Instead, the host offers compassionate profiles of the victims, an examination of the killer, and a thrilling narrative. The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery will continue to feature updates on the case.
