After the Guilty Plea: The Bryan Kohberger Story
Jennifer Walsh
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
When a criminology student became the criminal he studied, four innocent lives were lost forever.
On July 2, 2025, the world watched as Bryan Kohberger uttered two words that changed everything: "I'm guilty." After 966 days of investigation, legal battles, and unanswered questions, the man accused of brutally murdering four University of Idaho students finally confessed to his crimes.
This book is for true crime enthusiasts, criminal justice students, and anyone seeking to understand one of the most shocking cases in recent memory.
Inside, you'll discover the complete story that mainstream media missed: the secret plea negotiations that avoided a death penalty trial, the digital evidence that trapped a would-be perfect killer, and the heartbreaking impact on families who lost their children to senseless violence. Author Jennifer Walsh takes you behind the courtroom doors to reveal how a doctoral student studying criminal behavior became exactly the type of monster he was supposed to catch.
You'll learn about Kaylee Goncalves' determination to change the world, Madison Mogen's unwavering loyalty, Xana Kernodle's ambitious dreams, and Ethan Chapin's infectious joy - four young lives cut tragically short. More importantly, you'll understand how their families channeled grief into purpose and how a community refused to be defined by tragedy.
From the terrifying night on King Road to the dramatic confession in a Boise courtroom, this is the definitive account of a case that captivated the nation and forever changed how we think about campus safety, criminal behavior, and the pursuit of justice.
