Episode Details

Former death investigator and Body Bags podcast host Joseph Scott Morgan has participated in nearly 7,000 autopsies and spent decades examining violent death scenes. In Part 2 of Idaho 4: After the Plea, Morgan joins criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter to explain what investigators can learn from a crime scene, how evidence is preserved, what happens during an autopsy and where forensic evidence reaches its limits.

Using publicly released information in the case against Bryan Kohberger for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Morgan examines the challenges investigators faced inside the King Road house, the importance of documenting everyone who entered the scene and the questions the physical evidence may never answer.
