Overview

• Newly unsealed Idaho State Police summaries say survivor Dylan Mortensen heard a male voice say “It’s okay, Kaylee, I’m here for you” during the attack, a detail she maintained even as she later revised who she believed was crying.
• Mortensen told investigators she could not reliably identify the intruder after Bryan Kohberger’s arrest, saying that seeing his photo brought back “nothing.”
• More than 550 pages of records include Washington State University accounts describing Kohberger as sexist and “creepy,” documenting multiple complaints, a faculty warning about potential future misconduct, and incidents that raised stalking concerns.
• Classmates reported Kohberger said the perpetrator “must have been pretty good,” suggested the killings might be a “one and done” act, and noted the timing before winter break as “a good choice.”
• Investigators cite DNA on a knife-sheath snap, phone location data and surveillance footage tying Kohberger to the scene, while prosecutors say they have no established motive or evidence of prior direct contact with the victims.
