The new Idaho Murders Documentary finally reveals the answer to a question that eager viewers have been asking for years.
The new series delves into the murders of four university students which took place in 2022, and how their friends and family navigated the tragedy in the years following.
The small college town of Moscow, Idaho, was a relatively safe place to study and live.
But it became a nightmare in the earlier hours of November 13 2022, when four roommates were murdered in their student house.
On the morning of November 13, Hunter Johnson and Emily Alandt, two students at the University of Idaho, answered a phone call from their friend that lived a just few houses away.
Their friend, Dylan Mortensen, had heard strange noises in the night, and wanted the pair to come over and check that nothing was untoward.
When they reached 1122 King Road, Johnson proceeded up the staircase of the house, and into a bedroom where his best friend, Ethan Chapin, 20, was staying over with his girlfriend, Xana Kernodle, also 20.
Greeted with a tragic reality, he told the girls to call 911 and alert them of an ‘unconscious individual.’
Police arrived at the property to discover a scene of four homicides.
Kaylee Goncalves, 21 ,and Madison Mogen, also 21, were also found brutally murdered in their bedrooms.
The two surviving roommates were Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen – but it is unknown why the murderer did not attack them.
Six weeks after the four killings, authorities arrested Bryan Kohberger, a 28-year-old criminology student at Washington State University.
Despite no known motive, rumours circulated about Kohberger’s potential links to hyper-misogynistic incel (“involuntary celibate”) ideology.
Earlier this month, Kohberger pleaded guilty to all four murders, avoiding trial as well as the death penalty.
However, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, without parole.
But prior to his arrest, online sleuths flocked to the puzzling case, making their own theories and claims about who committed the murder.
Internet ‘investigators’ claimed that Johnson, the only friend who saw the two dead bodies, was a prime suspect.
Public suspicion unfairly fell on him, as some suggested the 911 call claiming there was an ‘unconscious person’ seemed a weird description of the situation, once the full brutality of the crime scene became public.
The new series answers the question as to why exactly Johnson worded it this way.
According to contributors in the series, Johnson said the bodies were ‘unconscious’ in an attempt to protect his female friends from seeing the heartbreaking scenes he had witnessed.
One viewer explained on Reddit: “HJ was the one who found Xana and it seems that he stopped the surviving roommates from seeing what he had seen.
“I used to be a 911 dispatcher and I could write a book about why it doesn’t surprise me at all that they initially said she was just unconscious.
“It’s very common for death calls, even when there are clear signs of death or murder.
“You have to understand that people calling 911 for a death are actively going through a severe trauma.”
