Chilling 911 Call Released from Morning After Idaho Murders: 'Something Happened in Our House'

Authorities have publicly released the chilling 911 call made by the surviving roommates of four University of Idaho students who were brutally killed in an off-campus home in 2022.

Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in the early morning hours on Nov. 13, 2022 in Moscow. Two other female roommates were home during the attack but were not harmed. Chapin was in a relationship with Kernodle and spent the night at the residence.

According to a February court filing reviewed by PEOPLE, a newly redacted transcript of the 911 call was released, detailing the moments after one of the roommates found Kernodle unconscious later that morning. 

“Something happened in our house. We don’t know what,” a woman, who does not give her name, tells the dispatcher, per the filing. In the audio obtained by KXLY, the caller seems to be crying, and frantic breathing can be heard throughout the call.

After discussing the address of the emergency, another woman gets on the call and says, “One of our, one of the roommates who’s passed out and she was drunk last night and she’s not waking up. Oh, and they saw some man in their house last night.”

The first woman comes on the phone again and says, “I don’t really know but pretty much at 4 a.m.,” before being cut off by the dispatcher seeking more information about the person who was described as being passed out. “Is she passed out? She’s passed out. Something’s wrong. She’s not waking up,” she says, per the filing.

A man then gets on the line as the dispatcher tells the callers to stop handing the phone around. The dispatcher asks, “Is she breathing?” and a male voice responds by saying, “No.” He hands the phone back to one of the women, who stays on the line for a bit before a police officer arrives on the scene. The call then ends.

Authorities have said the 911 call came from inside the home at 11:58 a.m. and that the victims are believed to have been killed between 4:00 and 4:25 a.m., per a probable cause affidavit previously reviewed by PEOPLE.

According to the affidavit, one of the surviving roommates said they saw the killer, described as “a figure clad in black clothing and a mask,” walk past her as he left the crime scene, and that she heard crying.

Last week, the texts between the surviving roommates — who are only referred to in court documents by their initials D.M. and B.F. — were released, detailing how the two became worried after their college friends didn’t answer their messages at around 4:22 a.m.

Bryan Kohberger was identified as a suspect in December 2022. The 30-year-old was allegedly linked to the crime scene by DNA recovered from a knife sheath and cell phone pings, per the affidavit.

At the time of the slayings, Kohberger was a Ph.D. student at Washington State University studying criminal justice and criminology. The university, which is in Pullman, Wash., is approximately eight miles away from the residence in Moscow, Idaho where the four students were killed.

A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf on four counts of murder and one count of burglary. He is scheduled to go on trial on Aug. 11 and faces the death penalty if convicted. However, Kohberger’s defense team is trying to keep capital punishment off the table by possibly arguing that he is on the autism spectrum.
