Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin, four University of Idaho students in their 20s, were brutally murdered inside their off-campus home in the early morning hours on November 13, 2022. Two surviving roommates and a heartwrenching 911 call led police to discover the friends stabbed to death inside the three-story house at 1122 King Road. The safe place that once rang with parties, TikTok dances and laughter, was eerily silenced, surrounded by a nationwide media circus and sealed with crime scene tape.
The murderer, Bryan Kohberger, a Ph.D student at Washington State University, pled guilty to all counts in exchange for the death penalty to be taken off the table. But still, the families of the victims, and everyone who has been consumed by this case since day one, want to know why Kohberger took these innocent lives.
