News Nation anchor Banfield reported that "Number 1, they told us (sources) that the victims, Kaylee, Madison Mogan, were killed first, and they confirmed that Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were killed on the second floor afterward." This information about the sequence of death is unveiled after a couple of months since the heinous murder took place. However, the authorities have not confirmed this piece of information yet.
Death timings as per affidavit
Authorities previously believed that the four students were killed on November 13 between three and four in the morning. They now think that all four students died between 4.00 and 4.25 in the morning. The affidavit, which was made available to the public on January 5, states that the one-hour window has been cut down to 25 minutes. According to phone records, Kernodle was using TikTok at 4.12 am, showing that she was still awake and alive, as MEAWW previously reported. The other two residents of the house, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke were unharmed. According to the police affidavit, Mortensen saw Kohberger leave the house around 4.17 am.
Details about Kohberger's arrest
Kohberger attended a status hearing on January 12 in an Idaho court. Kohberger waived his right to a prompt preliminary hearing, which would have been necessary within two weeks, according to Kohberger's attorney Anne Taylor, who spoke with Magistrate Judge Megan Marshall. The preliminary hearing will begin on June 26 at 9.00 am local time, according to reports.
The 28-year-old suspect was charged with the murders of four University of Idaho students after being apprehended on December 30 at his parent's house in Pennsylvania. Although Kohberger has not yet been convicted and is being held in custody, he has previously declared through a lawyer that he intends to contest the charges. Despite his meticulous planning, Kohberger is accused of leaving a crucial piece of evidence at the crime scene, the "tan leather knife sheath" that police found close to Mogen's body, according to the affidavit, as reported by Independent.
