Text messages from surviving Idaho murder roommates shared in ongoing Bryan Kohberger murder case

Texts sent by the two surviving roommates in the Bryan Kohberger murder case reveal harrowing new details about the night of the killings.

On November 13, 2022, four students at the University of Idaho were brutally murdered in their off-campus accommodation.

In the early hours of the morning, housemates Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle, and Xana's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin returned home from a night out and were stabbed to death with an 'edged weapon.'

Madison and Kaylee were discovered on the second floor of the home, meanwhile Xana and Ethan were found together on the third floor, in what has been described by police as the most 'gruesome' crime scene they'd ever seen.

There were two other roommates in the home at the time - Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen - but they were left unharmed.

The following month, criminology PhD student, Bryan Kohberger, was arrested on suspicion of carrying out the killings. He is currently on trial for four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.

Now, text messages from the surviving roommates, which were filed in a motion from the prosecution, have been revealed, with prosecutors arguing that they should be included in the criminal case.

In the texts, Funke and Mortensen expressed concern that they couldn't get in touch with their roommates.

After attempting to call both Goncalves and Chapin in the early hours of the morning of November 13, Mortensen wrote to Funke: "No one is answering," before following up with: "I'm rlly confused rn."

Another text from Mortensen refers to something 'like a ski mask' and that 'he' had something on his head.

Funke then asks her to come to her room, telling her to 'run.'

Court documents also reveal a frantic 911 call made from Funke's phone after they discovered one of the unresponsive victims.

"Hi, something is happening. Something happened in our house. We don't know what," the caller states.

"One of our... one of the roommates who's passed out and she was drunk last night and she's not waking up."

A second voice tells the operator that they 'saw some man in their house last night.'

The 911 call was made at 11.58 am on 13 November 2022.

Prior to the call, Mortensen had sent multiple messages to Kaylee Goncalves.

"Pls answer," she wrote at 4.32 am. A second text, sent at 10.23 am read: "R u up??"

Bryan Kohberger is next due in court in April. Prosecutors have indicated they will seek the death penalty against him.
