Kelly recounts a humorous yet traumatic experience traveling to Montana with her dog, Strudwick, who caused chaos on the flight due to medication-induced gas. The conversation shifts to the serious topic of the arrest of a suspect in the University of Idaho murders, Brian Kohberger, a 28-year-old doctoral student in criminal justice.

The legal panel, featuring Harmeet Dhillon and Viva Frei, analyzes the evidence against Kohberger, including genetic genealogy and cell phone data, suggesting that the authorities likely have a strong case against him.
