    Just after Christmas last year, Pennsylvania Police arrested Bryan Kohberger and charged him with the murder of four University of Idaho students.

    The case sparked shock and fear in students and parents alike and Idaho became the focus of an intense media spotlight, which at times turned sordid and ugly.

    Author J. Reuben Appleman wanted to look closer at the case, the four victims and society's increasing fascination with true crime. His new book "While Idaho Slept: The Hunt for Answers in the Murders of Four College Students" is out now, so Idaho Matters invited him to talk about his new release.

    Many Americans may remember Polly Klaas. It was 30 years ago this month the 12-year-old girl was kidnapped at knifepoint from a slumber party, triggering one of the largest manhunts in FBI history.

    For Idaho-based journalist and New York Times bestselling author Kim Cross, chronicling the case was not an assignment, it was a calling.

    Her book, In Light of All Darkness is coming out just as she is preparing her visit to the Hemingway Center in Boise next week. She sat down to talk with our Morning Edition host George Prentice.

    Nurse practitioner Rebecca Robinson with St. Luke's Palliative Care Team and Palliative Care Physician and community based hospice provider Dr. Jessica Evert joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the disease and how to plan for it.

    In 2021, over 2,500 people went from housed to homeless in the Treasure Valley.

    In July, federal rental assistance money ran out in Ada County and a week later the number of eviction court hearings more than doubled, from 20 a week to 50 a week.

    Attempted solutions to homelessness in Boise have been ongoing - from building new apartments, paying for hotel rooms and encouraging low income development opportunities.

    This November, voters will decide how Boise will address homelessness when they vote for mayor and two nonprofit groups that work on housing issues have invited the candidates to a public forum on Thursday to answer how they plan to prevent homelessness and create more affordable housing.

    Michaela McElroy, the Development Coordinator at Jesse Tree and Zeb Moers, the Development Director at Leap Housing joined Idaho Matters to talk more.

    It’s Boise National Electric Car Week and while automakers – domestic and foreign – continue to invest billions into the evolution of electric vehicles for many consumers, electric vehicles are still a subject of curiosity.

    The Biden Administration’s massive clean energy push has produced a number of federal incentives for consumers; while Idaho’s investment is more focused on infrastructure, like charging stations.

    Meanwhile, Idaho Power has been co-hosting “EV Guest Drives,” in eastern Idaho and, most recently, in Canyon County. That’s where Morning Edition host George Prentice visited with current EV owners, prospective buyers and Idaho Power’s EV experts.

    She joined Idaho Matters to talk more about this idea, as well as her art.
