‘One Night in Idaho’ Directors on Refusing to Let the Bryan Kohberger Take the Spotlight


'One Night in Idaho: The College Murders' directors Liz Garbus, Matthew Galkin on why Bryan Kohberger's guilty plea deal didn't change their mission.

Galkin and Garbus began documenting the case mere months after the murders, first contacting the Chapins (including Ethan’s triplet siblings Hunter and Maizie) in April 2023 and later the Laramies (Maddie’s parents). None of these are questions the docuseries could answer, especially since law enforcement and the surviving roommates Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke have been under a gag order since the murders and remain so until a verdict is reached (that date will now be the July 23 sentencing hearing). It will be the last time families can give victim impact statements and address the man who, on July 2, confirmed to a judge that he accepted the plea deal because he did, in fact, kill Xana, Ethan, Maddie and Kaylee.
