Bryan Kohberger Case: Idaho Court Releases Surviving Roommates’ Text Messages from Night of Student Murders
In a significant development in the Bryan Kohberger case, the Idaho court has released text messages sent by the surviving roommates on the night four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered. The released documents shed light on the harrowing events of that night, providing crucial insights into the sequence of events leading up to the discovery of the victims.
The texts, exchanged between the roommates, indicate their awareness of suspicious activities in the house. One message read, "I heard something, it might be nothing but it sounded like someone was in the house." Another message expressed concern, "Should we call the police?" These texts were sent hours before the 911 call was made to report the gruesome scene.
Bryan Kohberger, the suspect in the quadruple homicide, has been charged with the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin. The release of these text messages is expected to play a critical role in the ongoing trial, offering a timeline of the events from the perspective of those who survived the night of terror.
