Inside the Kohberger Family's Silent Nightmare

Kohberger’s Family, the Fallout & the Unchosen Victims
What happens when the accused killer is your child? In this sobering segment, defense attorney Bob Motta joins us to talk through one of the least-discussed — but most devastating — aspects of the Kohberger case: the collateral damage to his family.

We examine the heartbreak of Kohberger’s parents and siblings — not to excuse, but to understand what it means when your loved one becomes a national symbol of evil. Bob walks us through other cases where families were blindsided by unimaginable crimes, and what it does to a parent who once held hope for their child — only to watch them become a monster.

We also explore Kaylee Goncalves’ mother’s powerful recognition that even Kohberger’s family has been destroyed. Because when someone commits an act this horrific, the stain doesn’t stop at the courtroom door. It follows bloodlines. It ruins lives far beyond the immediate crime.

From there, we tackle the overwhelming reach of this tragedy — not just on the victims' families, but on friends, classmates, teachers, and a nation that still can't wrap its head around why. And as Bob reminds us, there is no “why” that will ever make sense.

This episode is for those grappling with the human cost of unthinkable crimes — and what happens to the families left behind, on both sides of the aisle.
