Read by the author.

Was there more than one killer? Had the crime scene been cleaned and sanitized before the police arrived? Was furniture staged to throw off detectives? In one of the most extraordinary true crime stories ever published, Broken Plea questions what really happened in the house on King Road—and the results of that investigation will astound you.

In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four lives were lost in a brutal crime in Moscow, Idaho—and a nation demanded answers. When a suspect accepted a plea bargain, the story seemed settled. Justice, many believed, had been served.

Broken Plea challenges that assumption.

Drawing on court records, investigative timelines, witness statements, and apparently overlooked inconsistencies, this meticulously researched exposé examines how a rush to judgment may have shaped one of the most closely watched murder cases in recent memory. As the official narrative hardened, critical leads went unexplored, contradictory evidence was minimized, and alternative explanations faded from view.

This book does not claim certainty where none exists. Instead, it asks the questions that were never fully pursued: What happens when pressure to close a case outweighs the search for truth? What evidence may have been sidelined, and why? And what are the consequences when a plea doesn’t end scrutiny but invites it?

Clear-eyed, unsparing, and deeply unsettling, Broken Plea reopens the case—and invites readers to look again at what justice demands when the truth remains unresolved.

So incredibly frustrating to hear the authors detailed, passionate and, reasonable, conclusions/findings and know that there is so much more that could have been explained. I think hearing the authors detailed explain the mislabeling and mishandling of evidence adds more mystery to the Idaho 4. After listening… I’m not convinced justice was fully served. Seems as though we missed a few guilty parties…

I liked how descriptive this book was and he stayed within the boundaries of the actual evidence.

Incredible job by the author to take an overwhelming amount of information and organize it, arrange it, and tell it in a way that keeps the reader enthralled and unable to walk away until the end!! A++

This was an amazing book that everyone needs to read. It’s unbelievable the injustices, the hidden facts, the lies, so very much more. Hopefully, something will be done for the right people to pay.
