What 7,000 Autopsies Taught a Death Investigator About the Idaho 4 | After the Plea – Part 2

Former death investigator and Body Bags podcast host Joseph Scott Morgan has participated in nearly 7,000 autopsies and spent decades examining violent death scenes. In Part 2 of Idaho 4: After the Plea, Morgan joins criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor Joshua Ritter to explain what investigators can learn from a crime scene, how evidence is preserved, what happens during an autopsy and where forensic evidence reaches its limits.Using publicly released information in the case against Bryan Kohberger for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, Morgan examines the challenges investigators faced inside the King Road house, the importance of documenting everyone who entered the scene and the questions the physical evidence may never answer.Where to find Joseph Scott Morgan:https://www.youtube.com/@josephscottmorgan https://x.com/JoScottForensic https://www.instagram.com/josephscottmorgan/?hl=en https://www.facebook.com/joseph.morgan1/  0:00 The Idaho 4 Case1:43 Joseph Scott Morgan Joins the Conversation2:39 Inside the Work of a Death Investigator4:48 Coroners, Medical Examiners and Death Investigators7:09 Searching for Scientific Truth10:41 Cause and Manner of Death15:01 Processing the Idaho 4 Crime Scene15:42 Why the First Person Inside Matters18:00 Securing the House and Preserving Evidence22:40 An Overwhelming Scene in a Small Community25:59 Deciding What Evidence Matters31:48 How Long Crime Scene Processing Takes34:12 A Missed Forensic Opportunity36:13 What Happens During an Autopsy39:47 Preserving the Bodies and Chain of Custody43:04 What the Autopsy Reports Could Establish44:33 What Stood Out in the Findings50:09 How Medical Examiners Guide Investigators52:55 What the Idaho 4 Case Should Teach Us55:09 OutroSummer Merch Collection:https://shop.thecourtroomconfidential.com/collections/summer-collectionCourtroom Confidential: Live Trials:https://www.youtube.com/@CCLiveTrialsBecome a CC Crew member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVmA_wratr69AQdmWtRLAw/joinCC Merch:https://shop.thecourtroomconfidential.com/Give us a follow:https://www.instagram.com/joshuaritteresq/https://x.com/CRConfidentialhttps://x.com/JoshuaRitterESQhttps://www.tiktok.com/@joshuaritteresqhttps://www.joshuaritter.com/ https://www.thecourtroomconfidential.com/ Support the show:https://buymeacoffee.com/courtroomconfidentialDISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for educational purposes only.
