On Nov. 13, 2022, the lifeless bodies of four University of Idaho students — Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin, and Xana Kernodle — were found in an off-campus home. For nearly two months, a killer walked free. 

Premiering on July 29, the new three-part documentary series The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare definitively chronicles one of the most chilling murder cases in recent memory — honoring the four young lives that were taken while tracing every step from the night of the killings to the eventual arrest of a suspect. From director Skye Borgman (Unknown Number: The High School Catfish) and Academy Award–nominated executive producer Joe Berlinger (Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenét Ramsey), the series features unprecedented access to police footage, plus archival materials and firsthand accounts from the victims’ families, peeling back the layers of a case that forever changed the tight-knit college town of Moscow, Idaho.

“As a father of two daughters who had great college experiences, this case struck a nerve with me unlike many stories I’ve covered,” Berlinger tells Netflix. “We felt the best way to honor the victims was to tell the full, accurate story of everything that happened that horrible night in Idaho.”

“Making this series became deeply personal to me because I felt a responsibility to keep Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin at the center of every decision we made,” Borgman says. “At a time when so much attention has been focused on the case itself, I felt it was important to create something that brings the focus back to who they were, the lives they lived, and the love that still surrounds them.”
