At night, four university students from Idaho were stabbed to death in a shared house outside the campus, two of the roommates of the victims frantically tried to reach their friends, according to extracted text messages included in judicial documents that were available on Thursday.
The presentations in the case against the suspect Bryan Kohberger also shed new light on the timeline of the events that occurred on November 13, 2022, in a student residence outside the campus near the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho.

The judicial documents, which were presented by the prosecutors last month, but published in the file on Thursday, showed that it was believed that the four victims, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin and Madison Mogen, would arrive at the house in King Road at 1:45 am
It is shown that one of the two survivors, who were roommates, sent an Uber message to take them from a bar to the house at 2:10 am at that time, it was shown that the other room of room survivor was awake and text messages.
At 4 in the morning, Kernodle received an order from Dordash, according to prosecutors, and a surviving room said he thought he listened to Goncalves playing with his dog.
“A little time” later, the fourth partner said “he heard that someone who thought was that Goncalves said something in the sense of ‘there is someone here,” prosecutors said previously.
At 4:17 am, a security camera less than 50 feet from Kernodle’s room picked up sounds from a dog barking and “distorted audio of what sounded like voices or a groan followed by a deaf noise,” according to the previous judicial documents of the prosecutors.
Just before 4:30 am, both roommates were sending round -trip text messages, according to filed transcripts, and seemed to be scared as their calls and text messages to the four victims were not answered.
“No one responds,” the fourth partner identified in the documents as “DM” sent a text message “BF” between 4:22 am and 4:24 am “I am very confused RN”.
“Kaylee,” DM sent a text message to Goncalves. “What’s happening.” And then to BF, they said: “I’m going crazy.”
DM refers to someone in “like a ski mask almost” to BF, who responds “Stfu”.
“I’m not joking,” says DM, and adds that they are “so scared.”
“Come to my room,” says BF. “Run.”

While chilling exchanges do not explain the whole story, they offer a first glance to what was said in King Road’s house where the murders, according to prosecutors, have just happened.
Prosecutors who lead the case against Kohberger have asked the court to admit exchanges, saying that “they present sensitive impressions and excited expressions” while describing reactions at the time what was happening.
The roommate said that “she looked out of her room but saw nothing when she heard the comment about someone at home,” previous documents said. “He opened his door for the second time when he heard what he thought he cried from Kernodle’s room.”
She “then said that she heard a male voice say something in the sense of ‘is fine, I will help you'”, according to the documents presented above.
The fourth companion said she opened her door again and saw a man with black clothes and a mask that passed by her, according to a sworn statement. She was “frozen” and in “shock” while he walked to the sliding glass door of the house, according to the affidavit.
The fourth companion said she did not recognize the man, showed the affidavit. She described it as at least 5 feet 10 inches, and “not very muscular, but athletically built with buping eyebrows,” according to the affidavit.
It is expected that both fellow survivors will testify at the next trial for capital murder, prosecutors said in the last unjemed judicial documents.
In the new presentations, a transcription drafted from the 911 call made at 11:58 am, almost seven hours after the intruder was seen, after Kernodle’s “body did not respond”.
The emergency call was placed after a burst of text messages to the victims’ phones, a text exchange between one of the roommates of room survivors and his father, and another call made to the number whose owner was not identified in the presentations.
They also declared that someone else told the two roommates survivors in the place to call Emergency Dispatch, which they did.
“UM, one of our, one of the roommates who passed out and was drunk last night and is not waking up,” says one of them to Dispatch, according to transcription.
“Ah, and they saw a man at home last night,” they added.
The command for a “ambulance” response was given to respond, and the phone was among several people on the scene, the transcription said.
“Are you breathing?” Dispatch asked, and they said: “No.”
“I think we have a homicide,” said someone on the scene.

Kohberger was arrested as a suspect in the four stabbing deaths in December 2022, after a six -week human hunt, and was accused in May 2023.
He was accused of four first -degree murder positions and a robbery charge. In his reading, he refused to offer a plea, so the judge appeared to a plea without stopping in his name.
If he is convicted, he could face the death penalty in Idaho.
His judgment will begin in August.
