New Text Messages Provide Timeline Insight into Idaho College Killings
New text messages have emerged, shedding critical light on the timeline surrounding the tragic killings of four University of Idaho students last November. The messages, exchanged between the victims and their roommates, reveal the sequence of events leading up to the discovery of the bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin in their off-campus home.
The texts, obtained by ABC News, indicate that the roommates were awake and active on their phones until the early hours of the morning, suggesting that the attack occurred after they had gone to bed. One roommate reportedly texted a friend about hearing noises, which authorities believe could have been the sounds of the intruder in the house.
Bryan Kohberger, the suspect currently awaiting trial, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary. The investigation continues to unravel the details of the night in question, with these new text messages providing crucial evidence in understanding the timeline of the events.
