The Night of the Idaho Student Murders Season 37 Episode 2 Information

At 10:00 PM, Peter Van Sant and 48 HOURS reveal new information about the case against Bryan Kohberger for the Nov. 13, 2022, deaths of four University of Idaho students in “The Night of the Idaho Student Murders.” Kohberger is charged with killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in a case that stunned the country. A judge has entered a plea of not guilty on Kohberger’s behalf.

Van Sant interviews Steve and Kristi Goncalves, parents of Kaylee Goncalves, who share new details about the night of the murders and the investigation. The Goncalves want the public to be aware of the brutality of the crime and feel the best path to justice is through transparency, so they’re sharing information from their own investigation.

Steve Goncalves tells 48 HOURS he believes Kohberger “had to know when people were coming, people going.” Kristi Goncalves adds that she wonders if Kohberger had ever gone inside the house, saying “I think he at least had opened that door, went in, tested the waters, looked around.”

Also interviewed are Xana Kernodle’s sister, Jazzmin Kernodle, and father, Jeffrey Kernodle, in their first interview together. Jazzmin Kernodle tells Van Sant that she sometimes dreams about her sister, which provides her with some sense of peace.

The hour also features interviews with investigative journalist Howard Blum and CBS News consultant Bryanna Fox, a professor of criminology at the University of South Florida, who offer insight into the case and what Kohberger’s defense team may present at trial.

“It seems that the defense is alleging there was a rush to judgment, law enforcement made an arrest too fast, and they focused on their client too quickly,” says Fox, a former FBI agent.
