Parents of Idaho College Murder Victim Reveal No One Would’ve Been Saved by a 911 Call

The four University of Idaho students who were brutally murdered in November 2022 had no chance — even if one of their surviving roommates would’ve called 911 earlier.

In the second episode of the Netflix docuseries, The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare — which was released on Wednesday, July 29 — the parents of Kaylee Goncalves said that they asked the coroner “on the phone” what could’ve happened “if somebody would have called 911” earlier.

The other roommates at the house, Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen, hid in their rooms on November 13, 2022, when Kaylee, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in their off-campus Moscow apartment by Bryan Kohberger.

A 911 call was placed hours later at almost noon ET.

“Could Ethan have lived? Could Xana have lived?” Steve Goncalves asked in the Netflix documentary.

“Could somebody have been saved?” Kristi Goncalves wondered. “And the answer was no.”

“It’s hard for us because you go back and look at all these moments, and you wish you could do things different,” Steve added.

According to an unsealed prosecution filing obtained by People, the four students were stabbed at least 150 times in total on that fateful night.

As Globe previously reported, Kohberger — who admitted to brutally murdering the four students — told the New York Times last month that he has filed a petition to withdraw his guilty plea.

Kohberger, 31, said in a written statement provided via his family that he is innocent. “Justice was not served,” he said, adding that “unanswered questions seem to multiply with each piece of discovery unsealed, and the public demands the truth.”

“Circumnavigated by a broken plea, the trial never provided the public the clarity conducive to closure, and justice shall remain abjectly miscarried unless that plea is withdrawn,” he added. “I hereby declare my intention to enter a not guilty plea, and welcome the State the opportunity to prove their case at trial, as well as to, again, file for the death penalty.”

Kohberger — who is behind bars at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution — is currently serving four life sentences without parole.
