‘Dateline' reveals new evidence in University of Idaho murder case
(NBC) — On Friday, 'Dateline' will air a two-hour special on the case that has captivated the country since that tragic night more than two years ago — the University of Idaho murder investigation.
The program will reveal new details that have never been reported before, including video, photographic and digital evidence that investigators say track murder suspect Bryan Kohberger's movements. The show will include interviews with friends of the victims and former students, who open up for the first time about their interactions with the accused killer.
Here is a preview of Keith Morrison's report:
Moscow, Idaho, where Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernoodle and Ethan Chapin were murdered in November 2022. All four had been stabbed to death.

In the two years since our last report, we have learned things — heard and seen things from sources with direct knowledge of the evidence, sources we trust and reported here for the first time.
What happened in that house? Why four victims, why any?
How will attorneys defend Bryan Kohberger, with the death penalty hanging over his head?
One terrible, terrible night, in a small college town.

Elon Musk Alleges Hypocrisy, Saying Cory Booker's Wave Looked Like Nazi Salute
Elon Musk—who drew criticism earlier this year after making a gesture many alleged was a Nazi salute—accused Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., of doing a Nazi salute on stage at an event for California Democrats on Saturday night, though the senator's team insisted Sunday the gesture was clearly a wave. Elon Musk gestures as he speaks during a news conference with President Donald Trump in the Oval ... More Office of the White House, Friday, May 30, 2025, in Washington. Booker was speaking at the California Democratic Convention Saturday night, and ended his speech by placing his hand on his heart and extending his arm toward the crowd in a motion Musk and others have said resembled the Nazi salute—alleging hypocrisy after Musk was criticized earlier this year. 'Cory Booker was obviously just waving to the crowd. Anyone who claims his wave is the same as Elon Musk's gesture is operating in bad faith. The differences between the two are obvious to anyone without an agenda,' Booker spokesperson Maya Krishna-Rogers told Forbes in a statement. Musk began sharing posts about Booker's gesture around 9 p.m. EDT Saturday night, and he quote-tweeted a post about the incident and lack of media coverage with the caption, 'Legacy media lies.' He continued to tweet about it Sunday morning, when he shared a post showing Democratic leaders former President Barack Obama, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Mass. and former presidential candidates Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton with their arms extended and the caption, 'We know where Cory Booker learned his Nazi salute from'—and Musk added a '🤨' emoji. Musk drew criticism in January after he pounded his fist to his chest and extended his right arm into the air twice while speaking at an event for President Donald Trump's inauguration. International leaders including Spain's minister of labor and social economy and Germany's health minister criticized the gesture, as did a number of Democrats. Musk didn't explain why he made the motion, but said in posts on X at the time that Democrats were playing 'dirty tricks' and that 'the 'everyone is Hitler' attack is sooo tired.' One month after Musk's incident, another Trump ally, Steve Bannon—who was feuding with Musk at the time over his close relationship with Trump—was accused of giving a Nazi salute when he spoke at the Conservative Political Action Conference. Bannon denied making the salute and told the Daily Mail it 'was a wave to the crowd.' After Musk was accused of making the motion, the Anti-Defamation League—a nonprofit working against antisemitism—said in a statement that Musk seemed to make 'an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute,' and urged people on 'all sides (to) give one another a bit of grace.' The ADL had not publicly commented on the allegations against Booker, though Forbes has reached out for comment. Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., also took to X Sunday morning to criticize Booker. In her post she said Democrats 'were hyperventilating about this false smear of Elon,' when he was accused of doing the salute in January and added 'the mainstream media is totally corrupt.' Stefanik also continued: 'The American people are smart. Neither Elon Musk or @CoryBooker are giving the Nazi salute. Americans see thru this obvious and destructive double standard by the totally broken media and Democrat Party.' Musk responded to the post with, 'they are such hypocrites,' presumably referring to the media. 9. That's how many times Musk had tweeted or shared posts about Booker's gesture as of 12:55 p.m. EDT on Sunday.

Powerful house explosion caught on camera in Missouri kills 1 person, 1 dog
Authorities in Missouri are working to determine the identity of a person who died in a massive house explosion caught on camera. A neighborhood outside Kansas City was rocked Saturday morning following "a powerful explosion" at a single-family residence that killed one person and one dog. The incident in the suburb of Gladstone severely damaged an adjacent house, shattered nearby car windows and sent debris flying across the street, Gladstone Fire Chief Mike Desautels told Fox News Digital. Desautels said an "unrecognizable" body was found at the scene. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released. "A powerful explosion occurred earlier today at a single-family residence," the city of Gladstone said Saturday in a press release. The city said the cause of the explosion remains under investigation. Gladstone Fire Department responded promptly to the scene, the city said. Upon arrival, firefighters found the home "completely destroyed," and adjacent homes were also evacuated as a precaution, the city added. Emergency crews battled the remaining flames when they arrived at midday. The shockwave of the explosion was felt across multiple towns, according to Desautels, adding that hundreds of reports outside city limits were made following the incident. Footage from a neighbor's Ring camera captured the moment debris from the horrific explosion slammed against their home and car. Nearby residents also saw a massive smoke plume emerge from the woods. "We just went down to the scene and hugged a couple of family members down there," nearby resident Glenn Hall told Fox News Digital. A voicemail sent out by the city alerted residents about plans to demolish the remaining property, according to a screenshot shared by Hall. "This is an emergency message," the voicemail said. "As soon as the scene is released by the authorities, the city of Gladstone will immediately begin demolition of the property as well as clean up the neighborhood." The area has been secured and is safe at this time.
