With defendant Bryan Kohberger agreeing to spend life behind bars, Jim and Stacy Chapin are moving out of the shadow of the 2022 quadruple murder.

The parents of Ethan Chapin, one of the four University of Idaho college students murdered in 2022, sat down with NBC News’ Liz Kreutz in an exclusive interview to share their reaction to Bryan Kohberger’s plea deal and how they are honoring their son’s legacy moving forward.

Stacy Chapin said seeing confessed killer Bryan Kohberger for the first time in person was "cold and calculated and weirdly, like an automated phone message."
