After Bryan Kohberger‘s sentencing for the College of Idaho murders, we all know he did it… however sadly his responsible plea didn’t include an in depth confession. So there are nonetheless lots of unanswered questions.
One large one was answered simply this week: Kohberger’s goal does appear to have been Kaylee Goncalves all alongside. We discovered one of many surviving roommates instructed cops in her preliminary assertion that she heard a male voice calling her by title, saying:
“It’s OK Kaylee, I’m right here for you.”
Man, that creeps us out. But it surely tells us Kohberger nearly definitely got here into the home to kill her particularly. Maddie Mogen might solely have died as a result of they had been sharing a mattress. Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin had been seemingly killed as a result of she was awake consuming some late evening DoorDash and interrupted him.

However the revelation has reinvigorated the speculation Kohberger had been stalking the victims for a very long time. Kaylee instructed her buddies she thought she noticed somebody following her. And her canine was appearing unusually, as if there was somebody there. And naturally… there’s the speculation the criminology grad pupil really entered the home at the least as soon as earlier than he carried out the murders.
The prosecutor within the case stated it was seemingly the killer gained entry beforehand as a result of he appeared to know his manner round that evening — and “the format of the home is exclusive.”
Properly, now now we have a possible window for when which may have occurred, because of the newly launched recordsdata from the Idaho State Police. That day as November 4, 2022. 9 days earlier than the murders.
Surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen recalled the incident in an early interview with Detective Vicki Gooch. She stated she, Xana, Maddie, and different roommate Bethany Funke had gone on a Starbucks run and are available again to search out the door “extensive open.” Scary in any state of affairs. However figuring out what would occur lower than two weeks later… completely chilling.
They didn’t assume they left the door open. However nonetheless, they could have doubted themselves… if not for the actual fact they then heard the washer was on! OK, that’s scary!
They didn’t name the cops although — a portent of how they’d react on the evening of the murders possibly. As soon as once more, it feels like they had been extra afraid of overreacting than of the potential hazard. They determined to go in and examine.
Dylan stated very first thing they “went to get Ethan [Chapin]’s golf golf equipment to guard themselves.” They didn’t discover anybody. However rattling, that’s scary. And that’s not all — they form of brushed over the actual fact the door was really damaged! Bethany instructed detectives Xana’s father came visiting a couple of days later and stuck the door — which means it had been broken, proper??
At this level it appears extremely seemingly this was Bryan Kohberger doing a little form of dry run for his eventual homicide spree.
Dylan additionally recounted one other creepy stalking story. Det. Gooch wrote in her report:
“Kaylee instructed her a few male topic who adopted her from the Winco retailer all the way in which to Kaylee’s automobile, even when Kaylee went to go away, the topic was standing by Kaylee’s automobile.”
Is that this the identical incident we heard about very early on within the investigation? Earlier than anybody even knew Kohberger’s title? In that case we heard the man was cleared — he and one other dude had been simply fascinated about asking her out?
But it surely appears Kaylee had this subject so much, sadly. She instructed buddies a number of instances she thought somebody was following her round. Possibly this was the identical time as earlier than, possibly it wasn’t. Possibly this was Kohberger. Now that we imagine he was focusing on her, it appears greater than seemingly he made contact — or got here shut — earlier than getting into her dwelling. Proper?
