The brutal murders of four innocent University of Idaho students shocked our nation in 2022. Bryan Kohberger, a criminology graduate student, took the lives of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle in a horrific stabbing attack. These were bright young Americans with their whole futures ahead of them.
For nearly three years, this case has been wrapped in secrecy by court orders that kept the public in the dark. The families of these murdered students deserved transparency from day one. Instead, they got bureaucratic delays and legal games while their loved ones lay in graves.
Finally, in July 2025, Kohberger accepted a plea deal and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Around 300 pages of police documents were released, revealing the true horror of what happened that night. The victims fought back against this monster, showing the courage that defines the American spirit.
But here’s what should outrage every patriotic American. Our government tried to keep this evidence hidden for over two years. They used sweeping court orders to block information that taxpayers paid to collect. This is not how justice works in a free republic.
The released documents show some victims were so brutally attacked they were unrecognizable. One roommate heard what sounded like fireworks during the murders. These details matter because they show the evil we’re dealing with when soft-on-crime policies fail our communities.
Law-abiding citizens have every right to know how their tax dollars are spent on criminal investigations. Transparency isn’t just good government, it’s essential for public safety. When bureaucrats hide evidence, they protect criminals more than victims.
The families got their justice when Kohberger admitted his guilt under oath. This confession means more than any jury verdict could have delivered. At least these grieving parents know the truth about what happened to their children.
America needs more transparency in our justice system, not less. Every criminal case funded by taxpayers should be an open book once it’s resolved. The government works for us, not the other way around.
