US EditionBack-Flip After Gruesome Images of Murder Scene Released
Nearly 2,800 crime scene photos from the 2022 University of Idaho murders were briefly published and removed for redaction to protect victims' families and comply with legal rulings.
- On Tuesday, January 20, the Idaho State Police briefly posted nearly 2,800 images online as a sixth volume of records, then removed them Tuesday night.

- Amid debate over transparency, officials said the pullback was to balance privacy and public access, with Idaho State Police citing compliance with the Idaho Public Records Act during 2025 releases.
