Terrifying New Details in Idaho Murders: Roommates’ Texts Reveal Horror Unfolding in Real Time
The gruesome killings of four University of Idaho students have taken an even more chilling turn. On Thursday, prosecutors released newly uncovered text messages between the two surviving roommates, identified as “D.M.” and “B.F.,” offering a harrowing glimpse into the night of the massacre.
According to court documents, while the suspected killer, Bryan Kohberger, was allegedly carrying out the brutal stabbings, D.M. and B.F. were in separate rooms, exchanging texts that can only be described as eerie.
At 4:19 AM, D.M. attempted to call B.F., along with victims Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, and Ethan Chapin—but got no response. Then, at 4:22 AM, she texted B.F. in confusion, writing, “No one is answering” and “I’m rlly confused rn.” Growing increasingly desperate, she even messaged Kaylee twice, asking, “Kaylee, what’s going on?”
The texts continued between D.M. and B.F., with their conversation turning more unnerving as the reality of the situation set in.
Adding to the horror, D.M. had previously told investigators that she opened her bedroom door during the attack and was paralyzed in shock when she saw a masked man dressed in black walking toward the sliding glass door before leaving the house. Prosecutors say that man was Kohberger, and they claim to have extensive evidence tying him to the crime scene—including DNA found on a knife sheath recovered near one of the victims.
Meanwhile, Kohberger’s defense team is attempting to remove the death penalty as a sentencing option, arguing that due to his autism diagnosis, capital punishment would be “cruel and unusual.”
As the trial looms, these shocking new details raise even more questions: What exactly did the surviving roommates hear that night? Could anything have been done to stop the killer? And will Kohberger’s legal team succeed in sparing him from the ultimate punishment?
Stay tuned as this chilling case continues to unfold.
