Some news: After 5-plus years, this past week ended my tenure at the Idaho Statesman. It was the best job I ever had. I volunteered for a buyout after mass layoffs by McClatchy hit our newsroom. What's next, I don't yet know. But I've got an #Idaho4 book in the works. Stay tuned.

NEW:
O.J. Simpson. A secret informant. The missing murder weapon. An accomplice tale. And law enforcement records that were kept secret for 30 years — until now.

Judge Hippler’s order vacating the DQ hearing in the #BryanKohberger #Idaho4 PCR case notes that that hearing “will reset to a later date.” The hearing has yet to be rescheduled, nor was it addressed in the amended briefing schedule.
The #BryanKohberger court hearing set for tomorrow to DQ the judge was canceled, and an amended scheduling order issued. Initial pleadings now are not due until January 2027 with others extending out until at least August 2027. Documents and dates here. #Idaho4
An interesting window into the mind of the University of #Idaho professor who was falsely accused of the #Idaho4 murders, including her aversion to how social media amplifies bogus details. (And the irony of posting this to social media isn't lost on me.)

ICYMI — A female caregiver in #Idaho faces the #deathpenalty after a 27yo vulnerable adult she and another caregiver watched over went missing in fall 2020. At that time, the missing woman's family had no idea she disappeared, and now await a murder trial. idahostatesman.com/news/loca…
Kari Siira, age 27, was a warm, bright light to her younger sister. Two female caregivers are accused to stamping it out and charged with murder. One could get the #deathpenalty in #Idaho, with a dubious execution history now like Tennessee. #ChristaPike idahostatesman.com/news/loca…
Bill Thompson, the #Idaho prosecutor known nationally for leading the criminal prosecution of #BryanKohberger in the #Idaho4 murder case, announced he will retire after 34 years in the elected county role. His last day is Dec. 1. idahostatesman.com/news/nort…
Given similarities to a failed 2024 lethal injection in #Idaho, I briefly chimed in today on what we can expect going forward with the #deathpenalty in light of the botched execution of #ChristaPike. Idaho made a firing squad its lead method. Tennessee? youtube.com/watch?v=2an7cdwQ…
I encourage you to spend time with this @investigatewest story by @ka_tornay about 5Rock Ranch, a claimed Xian-based recovery camp in the #OregonCoast Range. Former residents said it had the inverse effect. It's the best journalism you'll read this week. investigatewest.org/oregon-c…
