Recently launched texts and 911 transcription of the call of the surviving room murders of the Idaho murders reveal panic and terror

(CNN) – Panic conversations between two roommates survivors in the house outside the campus where four students of the Idaho University were killed in 2022 were revealed in recently released text messages on Thursday, shedding more light on the timeline in which the prosecutors aim to support themselves in their case against the suspect.

The brutal murders of the four students of the Idaho University: Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, took place in November 2022 in a residence outside the campus in Moscow, a city of approximately 25,000 people.

“I am going crazy,” wrote a roommate, Dylan Mortensen, to the other, Bethany Funke, according to the just unusual court documents. Mortensen and Funke, identified by their initials in the court documents, were sending text messages about a masked man dressed in black at home around the moment the police believe that the victims were being killed.

The exchange took place almost eight hours before the roommates called 911 to inform Kernodle unconscious in the residence.

The group of friends had left the university city and returned to his shared home. The next day, the police found the four students sacrificed inside, and there were no signs of entry or forced damage.

The murders led to weeks of police investigation, the frustrations of the families of the victims about the rhythm of the police and the fear in the local community of a massive killer.

Almost two months later, Moscow police arrested Bryan KohbergerA 28 -year -old man in Pennsylvania, with a murder order in students’ murders. Kohberger, a graduate student of Criminal Justice who lived in Pullman, Washington, will face a trial in August. A statement of guilt has been submitted in his name and faces the death penalty if he is convicted.

‘Nobody is answering’, fourth partner sends text messages to the other

Mortensen told the Police that he went to sleep in his room on the first floor and that he woke up around 4 in the morning so he thought it sounded like Goncalves playing with his dog in one of the rooms above on the third floor, previously published documents have been demonstrated.

The application of the law also determined that Kernodle received an order from Dordash at approximately 4 am and was still using Tiktok at 4:12 am

In the new presentation of the court, the telephone records show that Mortensen tried to call the other four roommates, but did not receive an answer, around the moment when the security camera of a residence near the house picked up at 4:17 am

Mortensen sent a text message to Goncalves: “Kaylee” and “What is happening.”

Funke, the other surviving roommate, however, replied his messages, while both were in their rooms, according to the presentation.

Mortensen and Funke sent the following text messages to each other around 4:22 am:

DM A BF: “No one is responding.”

DM A BF: “I’m really confused RN”.

BF A DM: “Already doubt WTF”

BF A DM: “Xana wore everything black”

DM A BF: “I’m going crazy”

Mortenson then tells Funke about seeing what looked like a man with a ski mask at home. Judicial publications previously described the testimony of Mortensen’s grand jury that withdrew the noises he heard and a man masked with black in the residence.

Mortensen then told Funke: “No, it’s like a ski mask almost”

BF A DM: “STFU”

DM A BF: “As I had done (something) is for the head and little mouth”

DM A BF: “I’m not joking (I) I’m so scared”

BF A DM: “I’m too me”

Then, Funke tried to convince Mortensen to go to Funke’s room to be together: “Run”

“Something happened in our house,” says the transcription of the call to 911

Prosecutors have indicated that they expect both survivors to testify at the trial and wish to use their text messages to illustrate the night line. The defending lawyer Anne Taylor has pointed out what she described as inconsistencies during her multiple interviews with the police.

Before calling 911, another presentation of the Court is shown just without stamps, Mortensen tried to get back to Goncalves and Mogen from 10:23 am, asking them if they are awake: “Ru Up?”

A transcription of the 911 call of the roommates survivors made more than an hour after that was also launched with the presentation on Thursday. Transcription shows chaos like Mortensen and Funke spend the phone between them responding to the dispatcher in fragmented responses. The presentation describes breathing and crying in the form of agitation along the call. The transcription does not identify the speakers by name, but shows another name without a name with them also spoke with the dispatcher.

In the call they reported that Kernodle of 20 years unconscious, telling the dispatcher who had returned home drunk the night before.

The roommates fought to tell the dispatcher his address and telephone number, and then saying that Kernodle does not respond and “saw a man at home last night.”

The transcription reveals the unfinished thoughts of the students and the panic for finding Kernodle’s unconscious body. It seems that the dispatcher ends the call when the first to respond arrive at the scene without obtaining a complete account of the night or the current situation, according to the presentation.

The judge in the County County that previously presided over the case had ruled the messages and transcription of 911 was allowed evidence before the case was transferred to Ada County, but the order and the associated presentations were sealed at that time.

Kohberger Defense asks him to do his death penalty option

A recently revealed defense motion in the case of Kohberger’s capital murder offers the most detailed image of the suspect personality that arises from his arrest, citing an evaluation of a neuropsychologist who found that Kohberger “continues to exhibit all the central diagnosis characteristics of TEA currently, with a significant impact on his daily life.” It is not clear if, or when, Kohberger was previously diagnosed with autistic spectrum disorder.

The fresh presentation is unusual is the last one of a Ráfaga of defense movements Aimed at getting the death penalty out of the table for the only suspect in the fatal stabbing that horrified the small university community. The spooky case has riveted the public, but the police have not published a potential reason, and A broad gag order It has avoided that the parties speak publicly or reveal more details.

The most important evidence of the Prosecutor’s Office is a DNA sample taken from a knife pod that remains in the crime scene. The researchers then used the genetic genetic genealogyA forensic field that combines DNA analysis with genealogical research, to connect that sample with Kohberger’s family, According to prosecutors. Subsequent DNA tests found that Kohberger was a “Statistical couple“To the exhibition, which leads to your arrest, according to prosecutors.

Kohberger’s lawyers have argued in a defense motion published on Thursday that the death penalty must be withdrawn from the table because they cannot review the enormous amount of discovery in time for the August trial. They say that eliminating the death penalty would significantly reduce the necessary discovery.

The garbage recovered from the Kohberger family residence by the Pennsylvania police and sent to the IDAHO state laboratory for DNA tests was used to help researchers reduce Kohberger as a suspect in the murders, according to judicial documents published in January 2023.

To combat that evidence, your defense team has repeatedly questioned the use, legality and accuracy of DNA tests carried out in each step of the process. In a closed audience last month, the testimony of several witnesses raised questions about how the researchers had used the DNA sample of the knife sheath to identify Kohberger as suspicious.
