New evidence. Creepy search history. A thumbs-up selfie taken just hours after four students were killed. And a major Dateline leak that could shake the entire trial.
Sources say Bryan Kohberger was circling the King Road house long before the murders. He’d been there 23 times. And the night of the attack? He allegedly left behind a bloody chair print — and a Ka-Bar knife sheath. Investigators say he called his dad’s number three times that morning. He also searched for knife sheaths… after the killings.
But the biggest shock? How this sealed info got out. The judge is demanding answers — and suspects it may have violated the gag order. Could these leaks change the trial forever and do you think this Dateline leak helped or hurt the case? Let us know what you think.

Maria Ridulph was a young girl out enjoying the winter with a friend when she suddenly disappeared. On December 3, 1957, Maria was last seen playing near her home in Sycamore, Illinois, when a man offered her a ride. She never returned.
Years passed, and her case went cold until 1994 when new leads emerged. John Tessier, aka Jack McCullough, a man with ties to the area, was arrested after DNA evidence and new testimonies pointed to him. He had been living under a different name for years, hiding his dark secret.
McCullough was convicted in 2012 for the abduction and murder of Maria Ridulph. He was sentenced to life in prison. But in 2021, his conviction was overturned, leaving many questioning if the right man was convicted.
Do you think John Tessier (aka Jack McCullough) was guilty, or was the wrong man locked up for decades?

In 1995, 15-year-old Nicole van den Hurk disappeared on her way to work in the Netherlands. Weeks later, she was found dead in the woods—but despite multiple leads, no arrests were made, and the case went cold.
Sixteen years later, her stepbrother Andy made a shocking move: he falsely confessed to the crime. His goal? To force police to reopen the case and test for DNA.
Andy’s confession helped break the case open, and new evidence pointed to Jos de G., a man with a criminal record. He was later convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 12 years—but not for murder.
Andy, who struggled with mental health and addiction, passed away in 2021 at age 46. After years of fighting for justice, his story ended in tragedy.
Did Nicole or her family ever truly get justice?
