Newly Unsealed Court Documents Reveal Key Details and Survivor Reactions in University of Idaho Stabbings Case

In a recent development in the case of the four University of Idaho students who were fatally stabbed in November 2022, newly unsealed court documents have shed light on the events of that tragic night. The documents, which include text messages and a 911 transcript, reveal the concerns of the surviving roommates, identified as B.F. and D.M., who were present in the off-campus house at the time of the incident. The roommates expressed their inability to reach their friends and mentioned the presence of an individual in a “ski mask.”

The court documents detail a series of text messages exchanged between the two surviving roommates, Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen, in the early hours of November 13, 2022. At 4:22 a.m., Mortensen texted Funke, stating, “No one is answering,” indicating their growing worry about the situation. This exchange occurred shortly before the bodies of the four students, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, were discovered.

The suspect in the case, Bryan Kohberger, is accused of carrying out the fatal stabbings. The unsealed documents provide crucial insights into the timeline of events and the immediate reactions of those who survived. The mention of a masked individual leaving the house adds a significant detail to the ongoing investigation, as authorities continue to piece together the circumstances surrounding the murders.

As the case progresses, the newly released information is expected to play a vital role in the legal proceedings. The tragic loss of the four students has deeply affected the University of Idaho community and the town of Moscow, as they seek justice for the victims and answers to the questions that remain.
