The Idaho murders..

Jan 6, 2023, 9:25 AM

This part is crazy.

One of the roommates woke up during the event....she saw the killer in the house. She locked her door....and went back to sleep? They called 911 about 8 hours later.

University of Idaho undergrad Dylan Mortensen said she first woke up around 4 a.m. on Nov. 13 to what she assumed was the sound of her roommate, Kaylee Goncalves, playing with her dog upstairs.

A short time later, Mortensen thought she heard her 21-year-old friend say, “There’s someone here.” But when Mortensen looked out of her bedroom, she didn’t see a thing. She peeked outside her bedroom door a second time when she heard crying coming from the bedroom of her other roommate, Xana Kernodle.

“It’s OK, I’m going to help you,” Mortensen told authorities she heard a male voice say.

The third time Mortensen opened her bedroom door to a far more terrifying sight: “a figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person’s mouth and nose walking toward her.” But the masked man just walked past her and left the home through the back sliding-glass door as she stood there in “frozen shock.”

Hours later, Mortensen would learn that three of her roommates—and one of their boyfriends—had been brutally murdered.

That’s according to a probable cause affidavit unsealed Thursday, which lays out previously unknown details about what happened in the Moscow, Idaho, rental home the night of the shocking murders that have since captured national attention.

Investigators “believe the homicides occurred between 4:00 a.m. and 4:25 a.m.,” the affidavit states.

One of the surviving roommates—it has not been revealed which it was—called 911 at 11:58 a.m., police revealed more than a week after the deadly scene unfolded. Cops said “multiple people” spoke to the dispatcher on that call, which is not mentioned in the affidavit, but was made from one of the roommates’ phones.

model of car. They had a security guard at Dude's campus call and report that his car matched and that the car was gone at odd times in the middle of the night. The matched his ID from the plate to one of the DNA family hits from the apartment (the one on the snap of the knife). They used that to get a warrant for cell phone tower records. The cell phone tower records showed that his phone traveled from his campus to a location near that apartment 12 times from June until the murders. However, on the night of the murder, it left his apartment at 2:00AM and then didn't ping any tower again until 4:45AM when it pinged a tower in a town south of the murders. Then it pinged a series of towers back to his house.

Using that evidence, they pulled him twice while driving home with his dad and then surveiled him at his home for several days. One night, in the middle of the night, they saw him leave the house and put his family's trash in several of the neighbors bins. They retrieved items from the trash and found a DNA sample that turned out to be his fathers, but that sample matched the scene sample so well that it ruled out 99.9998% of all other adult males.

Arrested.
