A recording of 911 from the night that four University of Idaho students released this week was released this week.
“Hello… Something happened here, something happened in our house, and we don't know what,” the desperate young woman tells the 911 dispatcher with audio obtained by Kxly Spokane.
The caller then explains between the Sobs that one of her housemates was “passed” and “she is not awake.”
“Yeah, I saw a guy at their house last night,” she continues.
The phone is passed between three people, perhaps two surviving housemates and another man, and the caller is forced to cry, thrill and repeatedly ask the dispatcher for addresses and other important details.
“You need to know now if someone dies or not! Can you find it?” the dispatcher insists at some point.
“What's wrong? She's not awake!” replies after the young woman checks.
The police arrives immediately and the phone ends.
The horrifying four-minute recording helped prosecutors build a lawsuit against Brian Coberger, a doctoral criminology student at nearby Washington State University.
Kohberger has been accused of massacring 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin in two hours, with only two housemates surviving.
The mention of the “man in the house” confirms subsequent testimony by one of the survivors who saw a man leaving the backdoor after hearing the sound of a struggle and a black mask and “bushy eyebrows”;
The court previously kept the 911 recordings protected from the public, so in fact the defense was dismissed as “hearsay” in an attempt to completely block the court.
Recordings aren't the only evidence that Kohberger's lawyers want to keep them away from the ju-degree.
In a shockwave in a suppression move filed last month, the defender asked the court to deny recordings of security cameras showing a car near Kaeberger for a variety of technical reasons.
The defense also urged judges to ban the use of words such as “murder,” “murder weapon,” “psychopath,” and “bubbly brows,” claiming it would harm ju-describers.
