Bryan Kohberger ‘Disfigured’ Kaylee Goncalves, Fought Xana Kernodle Before Fleeing

Bryan Kohberger brutally “disfigured” Kaylee Goncalves‘ face and fought via a violent wrestle with Xana Kernodle earlier than fleeing the scene of the University of Idaho murders … in keeping with newly unsealed police experiences.

Moscow Police paperwork simply launched say the November 2022 killings had been much more savage than initially reported — describing Goncalves’ accidents as so extreme her face was left unrecognizable. The responding police officer famous the disfigurement in his report, whereas others referred to as the crime scene a massacre.

On the ground under, Kohberger clashed with Kernodle after she both noticed or heard him kill her roommates upstairs. The police sergeant wrote that “an intense struggle” clearly came about, and Kernodle had deep defensive wounds between her fingers — proof she fought for her life.

According to the experiences, Kohberger did not flee till after that confrontation, in keeping with police. Surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen advised police she noticed a masked man stroll previous her room and exit via a sliding glass door — carrying what regarded like a bundle.

Though not confirmed within the experiences, Mortensen’s account aligns with Kernodle having acquired a quick meals supply shortly earlier than the murders — resulting in hypothesis Kohberger might have grabbed it on his approach out.

Police say Ethan Chapin, Kernodle’s boyfriend, was most probably killed in his sleep. He was present in his mattress with a blanket partially masking his physique.

Mortensen recalled hearing screams, footsteps, and a chilling male voice saying, “You’re gonna be fine. I’m gonna help you” earlier than recognizing Kohberger minutes later. Prosecutors now imagine Kernodle might not have been a deliberate goal — solely encountering Kohberger by probability after the preliminary murders.
