One of the surviving roommates of the four University of Idaho students allegedly killed by Bryan Kohberger didn’t immediately call police because she thought her friend was passed out drunk – not realizing she was likely already dead, a new court ruling reveals.
After a night out partying, Dylan Mortensen “heard strange noises and crying” before opening her bedroom door and seeing “a man dressed in black with a ski mask on walking by her bedroom door,” around 4:00 a.m., according to a new decision by Boise District Court Judge Steven Hippler.
Mortensen then got on the phone with the other surviving roommate, Bethany Funke, and texted furiously. “I’m freaking out rn,” she wrote, adding “I’m not kidding o [sic] am so freaked out.”
“So am I,” Funke texted her back before encouraging Mortensen to come to her room.
The roommate “began running toward” Funke’s room, and “on her way, she noticed Xana [Kernodle] lying on the floor of her bedroom,” but Mortensen “thought Xana was drunk,” the judge’s order explains, citing the surviving roommates’ communications.

The roommates were stabbed. The survivors were texting each other something was wrong. They saw their dead roommates (who were stabbed to death) and thought they were sleeping.
This case makes no sense to me.
Generally people wait hours in calling the cops, to get their story straight.
And to hide their stash.
The jury will want to visit the crime scene.
The crime scene has already been demolished.
I always go back to sleep after seeing a strange guy wearing a ski mask at my bedroom door.

House where University of Idaho students killed torn down. Victims’ families opposed it
https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/local/crime/article283582933.html
Young and naive girls in a party house, used to seeing passed out flatmates. Dark so didn’t see the blood.
May also have been used to seeing men slouching out in the wee hours of the morning.
Freaked out because her sidey senses were tingling, but she couldn’t comprehend why because the idea of a serial killer was unimaginable to her.
Why the killer didn’t kill the remaining two girls? I think it was because they were awake and aware and he was unsure of whether there were men/boyfriends in the house and he didn’t want to risk any screaming, so he exited as quickly as possible.
They are idiot girls, that’s why. One literally saw the killer walk down the hall, dressed in black, in a ski mask. And she then holed up in her room for over 7 more hours before calling the cops.
Idiots.
Based on the little I know about this case, hearing this testimony I would have to discount most of what these witnesses have to say. They were college student and apparently did not have 2 brain cells between them.
It’s young modern idiot girls. That is why it doesn’t make sense.
And they have an opinion on everything, global warming, what you should eat, sex changes for little kids, Ukraine, Palestine, etc.... and they vote.
“Why University of Idaho murders survivor waited hours to call cops after finding roommate dead”
Because...idiots.
“Dylan Mortensen “heard strange noises and crying” before opening her bedroom door and seeing “a man dressed in black with a ski mask on walking by her bedroom door,””
She head the murder. And after that saw one of the on the ground. Saw the killer right down to his eyebrows. And the idiot did nothing except text her friends for 7 more hours. Morons.
” And the idiot did nothing except text her friends for 7 more hours.”
I think they went back to sleep
They also could have had emotional shock. I often “go away” in my brain (fugue state) when something horrible had happened to me. I did have very bad news from a doctor last year and forgot it for a few days, then would remember it on and off. Probably different mechanism.
They are probably all BA students trying to earn a teaching degree.
My whole time at university I carried a legally licensed concealed gun and knew how to use it.
I guarantee that most of my fellow students would have soiled themselves if they had known.
Since all my instructors had access to my records,
I’m sure they knew I was former military.
I only had one ever question me about guns.
BTW I went to private, VERY liberal Christian universities.
BS Computer Science, class of 90.
and I’m not a cop.
Drunk or high morons? Maybe she thought she had some bad drugs? Just taking a stab at why she waited till she was somewhat sober.
you can tell just by looking at their pictures that these idiot blonde girl children aren’t rocket surgeons: “i heard strange noises and saw a strange man and my roommate was lying dead drunk on the floor and i didn’t bother to check if she was OK. i’m scared, what should i do? OK, i’ll come sleep in your room and everything will be OK.”
i wonder what their majors were?
Mt. Carmel, TX for one.
