Kim Kardashian reacts to 'unimaginable' Idaho murders - and urges public to help find missing woman
On Sunday morning, the SKIMS mogul, 44, shared her raw reaction after watching One Night in Idaho, Amazon Prime's gripping documentary about the 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students.
'I'm watching One Night In Idaho, I thought I knew the story from the news but really had no idea,' Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Story alongside a photo of her TV screen. 'It's really emotional and you can feel every friend and parents pain.'
She continued: 'So many details I just didn't know. Ugh it's just unimaginable.'
The timing of Kardashian's post comes just days after Bryan Kohberger — the man convicted of killing Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin — was sentenced to four life sentences plus 10 years.
The brutal stabbings rocked the small college town of Moscow, Idaho in November 2022 and captured national attention for months.
Though Kardashian didn't speak directly about the verdict, her emotional response to the documentary echoed the pain still felt by the victims' families and public.
Just an hour later, the mother-of-four posted about another case, this time, a haunting missing persons mystery, covered in Netflix's Amy Bradley is Missing.
'This doc is mind blowing. Must see,' she wrote. ' We must find Amy! This is so crazy.'
The documentary, Amy Bradley Is Missing, recently hit Netflix and revisits the baffling 1998 disappearance of the 23-year-old American woman who vanished from a cruise ship off the coast of Curaçao.
Despite alleged sightings over the years and multiple theories, Amy has never been found.
With over 356 million followers on Instagram, Kardashian has previously used her platform to advocate for wrongly convicted prisoners and to highlight flaws in the justice system.
In May, she completed her law school program after a six year journey.
Kardashian didn't attend traditional law school. In California, individuals can become lawyers by completing a four-year Law Office Study Program (LOSP), also known as 'reading the law,' instead of going to law school.
'I thought I knew the story from the news but really had no idea. It's really emotional and you can feel every friend and parents pain,' Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Story
She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state.
Over the past six years, Kim has dedicated roughly 18 hours a week to studying law, totaling more than 5,000 hours.
Her efforts paid off when she passed the 'baby bar' back in 2021.
Kim's process took longer than four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic and her busy schedule.
Kim had already passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination back in March — a big exam for her program — sources told TMZ.
She is following in the footsteps of her late father, legendary attorney Robert Kardashian.
He gained national recognition in the mid-1990s for his involvement in O.J. Simpson's murder trial, where he served as a friend and defense attorney on Simpson's legal 'Dream Team.'
He passed away in 2003 from esophageal cancer. He was 59 years old.
The reality TV star reportedly plans to take the bar exam in 2026.

Texas man pleads guilty to stalking WNBA star Caitlin Clark and gets 2 1/2 years in prison
A 55-year-old Texas man who told police he was in "an imaginary relationship' with WNBA star Caitlin Clark was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison Monday after pleading guilty to stalking and harassing the Indiana Fever guard. Michael Lewis, of Denton, Texas, reached a deal with Marion County prosecutors in which he pleaded guilty to one felony count of stalking and one misdemeanor count of harassment. He will get credit for time served. Lewis also was ordered to stay away from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Hinkle Fieldhouse, Fever events and Indiana Pacers organization events, as well as to have no contact with Clark. He also will not be allowed internet access during his sentence. Lewis was arrested on Jan. 12 after authorities alleged he sent hundreds of 'threats and sexually explicit messages' to Clark between Dec. 12, 2024, and Jan. 11, 2025. Lewis, who prophesized during Monday's courtroom proceedings that the end of the world was coming, also was recommended to get mental health treatment. The FBI tracked the IP addresses of Lewis' messages to a hotel in downtown Indianapolis as well as the Indianapolis Public Library. Indianapolis police then made a welfare check on Lewis, according to court documents, and he told officers that he was in 'an imaginary relationship' with Clark and that he came to Indianapolis on vacation. The messages to Clark continued after the initial visit by police. Clark, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA draft, has been limited to 13 games this season because of injuries and is currently sidelined with a strained right groin. ___

Ghislaine Maxwell asks US supreme court to overturn conviction
Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has requested that the US supreme court overturn her conviction, saying she was unjustly prosecuted. In 2022, Maxwell was sentenced in Manhattan to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking and other related crimes. Her legal team, however, submitted a request to the supreme court on Monday, seeking to overturn the lower court's decision, arguing that a prior plea deal that Epstein took protected Maxwell from prosecution. Maxwell's submission to the supreme court comes days after she met justice department officials, as discussions began to see whether she would turn into a US government cooperator. Observers have suggested Maxwell may be able to expose new information about Epstein's sex trafficking and the wealthy individuals who may have also been involved. It is not clear if Maxwell will become a US government cooperator and what she may receive in return. Maxwell's supreme court filing argues that Epstein's 2007 plea deal with federal prosecutors in Florida should have barred Maxwell's prosecution. The controversial 2007 plea agreement between Epstein and the justice department said that if Epstein followed the terms of the plea agreement, the US government would not charge 'any potential co-conspirators of Epstein', including 'but not limited to' four is not one of the four co-conspirators named in the agreement, but her attorneys say she did not need to be named to receive the protection from that deal. Maxwell's legal team is asking the supreme court to review the case, arguing that the federal plea deal signed in Florida should have been respected in New York. The justice department, for its part, previously argued that the Florida plea deal did not extend to other federal districts, including the southern district of New York, where Maxwell was eventually tried and sentenced. Most federal cases in the US are settled through plea agreements. The US attorney in Florida who negotiated Epstein's plea deal at the time, Alexander Acosta, came under significant scrutiny during the first Trump administration after being appointed US secretary of labor. He resigned from that position after facing significant criticism following Epstein's 2019 arrest. The justice department has faced scrutiny from Democrats and Trump supporters in recent weeks, after it released a memo saying they did not uncover evidence to charge 'third parties'. In their memo, the justice department and the FBI said there was 'no incriminating 'client list'.' Trump hasfaced renewed criticism over the Epstein case, due to his past ties to the wealthy financier. In mid-July, the Wall Street Journal reported that Trump wrote a 'bawdy' birthday note to Epstein in 2003. In response to that story, Trump filed a $10bn defamation lawsuit against the Journal and its owners, including the rightwing billionaire Rupert Murdoch. The paper was banned last week from participating in the press pool during Trump's upcoming trip to Scotland. On Monday, Trump asked a federal court in Florida to quickly depose Murdoch in the defamation case. Reuters reported a court filing submitted by Trump's attorneys describes an interaction between Trump and Murdoch. The filing said Trump had told Murdoch before the Journal article was published that the 'bawdy' note was 'fake' and that Murdoch said he would 'take care of it'. A federal judge ordered Murdoch to respond by 4 August. This week, the Wall Street Journal also reported that, as the justice department reviewed Epstein-related documents, Trump's name appeared in the files multiple times.
