Newly released bodycam footage captures the chilling moments police officers found the bodies of four University of Idaho students killed in their off-campus home, as convicted murderer Bryan Kohberger now maintains he is innocent.
The video appears in the trailer for an upcoming Netflix documentary and shows an officer entering the Moscow, Idaho, residence, moving upstairs past a living room scattered with empty bottles and Solo cups before reaching a second-floor bedroom.
“F–k,” the officer says after discovering Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both of whom had been stabbed repeatedly.
The footage then shows officers making their way to the third floor, where they found Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, who had also been fatally stabbed.
“F–k, dude,” one officer says in the clip.
“Oh, man,” another officer is heard saying.
“We’re gonna need everybody. We got four deceased,” an officer later reports over the radio.
Additional images from the crime scene show dried blood in the kitchen sink.
Moscow police Capt. Roger Lanier told reporters after the grisly killings it was the first homicide in the small city in seven years and the first “major crime scene” many of his younger officers had ever seen.
The chilling body-camera footage was revealed in the trailer for the new documentary series “The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare,” which comes out on Netflix Wednesday.
The brief trailer also previewed chilling police interviews with roommates Dylan Mortenson and Bethany Funke, who lived on the first floor and survived the late-night massacre.
The two texted each other early that November morning in 2022, just minutes after Kohberger crept out of their home in Moscow, Idaho, leaving four dead bodies behind.
“I heard her scream. She saw someone,” a panicked Funke tells police.
Mortensen came face to face with the killer just before he slunk out of the college house.
Kohberger, a criminology Ph.D. student at the nearby Washington State University, confessed to killing the four last year.
As part of the plea deal, he was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences but spared from the firing squad he could have faced if he was convicted at trial.
However, in a shocking about-face, Kohberger revealed from prison this week that he has filed a petition to challenge his conviction, just one year after confessing to the killings.
He claims he was deceived into agreeing to the guilty plea deal because of “false promises and blatant disinformation” and has insisted on his “absolute claim of innocence.”
Goncalves’ father said he would “love” for the convicted killer over what he described as a “second shot at the accused murderer.”
“I would love for us to be able to re-line him up and hold him accountable to the full extent of what he’s done,” Steve Goncalves told NewsNation Monday night.
