MOSCOW — A 911 call has been released from the day four University of Idaho students were found dead in their Moscow home.
The call begins with a crying woman frantically saying to the dispatcher, "Something is happening … something is happening in our house. We don't know what."
The woman starts to cry and another woman takes the phone. She tells the dispatcher, "One of the roommates is 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 dispatcher requests the address from the callers and one of the women on the line starts to explain what happened the previous night, but the dispatcher asks what is currently happening in the home.
"I need to know what's going on right now — if someone is passed out. Can you find that out?" the dispatcher says.
A woman on the phone says they are going to check and a few seconds later, you hear her say, "Is she passed out? What's wrong? She's not waking up."
A few seconds later, you hear a man in the background say, "Get out. Get out. Get out."
The dispatcher tells the caller that help is on the way and the man comes on the line.
"Is she breathing?" the dispatcher asks.
"No," the man responds.
The dispatcher says an ambulance and law enforcement are on the way. As she tells the caller to get a defibrillator if one is available, an officer arrives and the call ends.
The call, which is a little over four minutes long, was first obtained and released in its entirety Friday by KXLY-TV in Spokane. It comes a week after text messages from two surviving roommates and a transcript of the 911 call were both unsealed by the court.
Bryan Kohberger, 30, is accused of fatally stabbing Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kernodle's boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20. They were all found dead on Nov. 13, 2022.
Two other young women living at the home were unharmed in the early morning attack. One roommate said she saw a man in black clothes and a mask walking past her in the house in the middle of the night, according to court documents.
The roommate said she didn't recognize the man and described him as 5 feet 10 inches or taller. He was "not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows," court documents say.
Kohberger's trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 11 and is expected to last more than three months. If found guilty, he could face the death penalty.
