Broken Plea

More than one killer The house had been cleaned and sanitized. Furniture staged to throw off detectives. The public and press have been led astray, until now. In one of the most extraordinary true crime exposés ever published, this book shows readers what really happened in the early morning hours of 13 November 2022 in Moscow, Idaho, and the truth will astound you.

Renowned FBI expert Christopher Whitcomb is one of only a handful of people in the world who not only has full knowledge of this case but also possession of the entire Brady disclosure from the developing murder trial. This includes every last piece of known information required to be passed from the prosecution to the defence: a cache of 59,000 files, containing 200,000 largely unredacted exhibits. From autopsy photos to bodycam footage, unpublished interviews and accounts, to the DNA lab hired initially and then fired, to the full contents of Kohberger’s phone, Whitcomb has it all and has spent months reconstructing what really happened, presented here for the very first time.

What the world does not yet know is that Bryan Kohberger’s guilty plea may have negligently white-washed one of the great travesties of modern jurisprudence. In lieu of a trial, no one will ever know how a lone assassin, with no ties to any of the victims, entered the house on King Road in the middle of the night, committed four murders in less than five minutes, and escaped without a trace. What were his motives? Who was his target? Why did he not kill two witnesses who waited eight hours before calling police?

In order to answer these questions and truly accept Kohberger’s plea, we must go back to that awful night in Moscow and re-examine the case for ourselves. It is nothing like what you think you know.
