Bryan Kohberger pled guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students. He's serving four consecutive life sentences with no parole. He waived his right to appeal. The case is over. So why is a forensic expert his own defense team hired suddenly going public with claims about the evidence — after the plea was already done? This week on Hidden Killers, we looked back at the most compelling conversations surrounding the Idaho murders — and most of them came down to one question: who benefits from reopening a case that can't be reopened? Brent Turvey was retained by Kohberger's defense to analyze the crime scene. After the plea, he went public alleging chain of custody issues with the Ka-Bar knife sheath — the item carrying Kohberger's touch DNA. He claims the documentation was filled in retroactively. His former clients — Anne Taylor and the defense team — fired back immediately, calling his conduct appalling and accusing him of breaking confidentiality. They didn't hire him to litigate the case in the press after it was over. And the timing raises an obvious question: if these concerns were so critical, why didn't the defense pursue them when it mattered? The answer may be simpler than the allegation — because the evidence, even with Turvey's objections, wasn't going to save Kohberger at trial. Then there's Christopher Whitcomb's book. A former FBI agent packaging questions as revelations after a man already confessed. That's not investigation — it's a product. Nothing in it changes the fact that Kohberger himself admitted to killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. Criminal defense attorney and former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis cuts through all of it. He's been the prosecutor standing behind physical evidence and the defense attorney trying to tear it apart — and he has strong opinions about what's actually happening here versus what people are selling. The families of four victims watched a man confess. What they're watching now is a sideshow.
