The 911 call from the night of the shocking University of Idaho murders has been released, offering a chilling glimpse into the sheer terror the two surviving housemates experienced.
Authorities made the audio public on Friday, capturing the panicked voices of the survivors and a neighbor as they struggled to understand the horror unfolding inside their home.
Terrified Voices, Unanswered Questions
The call begins with a frantic woman on the line with the dispatcher, her voice shaking with fear as she says something is happening inside the house—but she doesn’t know what.
Another person, reportedly a neighbor, takes the phone and tries to explain the situation more calmly. At first, they suggest that one of the roommates got drunk the night before and won’t wake up, but then add a chilling detail—they saw a man in the house the previous night.
The dispatcher urges the group to check on the unresponsive roommate. What follows is heavy, panicked breathing, as it’s clear that the survivors are trying to stay composed amid their growing fear.
At one point, a voice on the line confirms that one of the roommates isn’t breathing—marking the moment when the terrifying reality fully sets in.
New Evidence Days After Released Text Messages
This 911 call release follows another major development—text messages from the survivors were also made public earlier this week. These messages reveal more confusion as they tried to piece together what had happened in the house before police arrived.
The Case Against Bryan Kohberger
As widely reported, Bryan Kohberger, a PhD student in Criminology at Washington State University, was arrested six weeks after the murders of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. He has denied any involvement in the crime.
Despite the seriousness of the case, Kohberger has bizarrely gained an online following, with some individuals obsessing over his mugshot. His trial is scheduled for mid-August, and the release of the 911 call adds another layer of emotional weight to this already high-profile case.
