- π‘ Steve Goncalves, father of victim Kaylee Goncalves, shares previously unknown details about the Idaho student murders.
- π Kaylee Goncalves sustained multiple severe blows to the face, including a broken nose, which could have been fatal on their own, in addition to the knife wounds.
- β° At 2:00 AM, the four female victims were together in Kaylee's room, contemplating a late-night outing to a food truck, a decision that ultimately led them to stay in.
- πͺ Contrary to previous assumptions, Zana's bedroom door was found open, and Bethany described seeing Zana lying on the floor, initially believing she was drunk.
- π¨ The surviving roommates, Dylan and Bethany, were too afraid to investigate the house the next morning and locked themselves in Bethy's room, later calling a friend for help.
- πͺ Hunter, a friend who came over, retrieved a kitchen knife before going upstairs and discovering the scene, then instructed the girls to call 911.
Bryan Kohberger's Actions and Behavior

- π Some individuals who worked with Kohberger reported his unsettling behavior, including making female students uncomfortable and documenting interactions.
- π» It's suggested that Kohberger may have used his time off to plan his next steps or clean up evidence.
