The Plea. The Fallout. EXCLUSIVE: NYT Best Selling Author Howard Blum on the Kohberger Confession

July 03, 2025

In this gripping follow-up conversation, Adam welcomes back investigative journalist and bestselling author Howard Blum, just one day after Bryan Kohberger, accused in the shocking 2022 Idaho college murders, pled guilty to four counts of first-degree murder. Blum, author of When The Night Comes Falling: A Requiem for the Idaho Student Murders, breaks down what this plea really means for justice, the unanswered questions that still linger, and the emotional fallout for the victims' families.


With Howard’s signature blend of old-school reporting and narrative mastery, this conversation goes beyond headlines, from courtroom strategy to the lingering shadows of the white Hyundai Elantra, this episode is essential listening for anyone following the case or anyone who wants to understand what justice sounds like when it’s unfinished.
