Summary

In the fourth episode of the new true-crime podcast "The King Road Killings: An Idaho Murder Mystery," what was Bryan Kohberger’s life like before he was charged with these murders? People who knew him in his teenage years, in college, and right before he was arrested last December offer conflicting narratives. We piece together a portrait of the man who will go on trial this fall for the King Road killings and, if convicted, could face the death penalty.

0:35.1	I met Brian when I was in 11th grade. He was two years behind me, but he was friends with my

2:04.5	The two stayed friends throughout high school, but lost touch when Casey moved out of state.
