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

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

Moscow Police paperwork simply launched say the November 2022 killings have 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 known 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 wrestle” clearly came about, and Kernodle had deep defensive wounds between her fingers — proof she fought for her life.

Based on the studies, Kohberger did not flee till after that confrontation, in keeping with police. Surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen informed police she noticed a masked man stroll previous her room and exit by means of a sliding glass door — carrying what seemed like a bundle.

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

Police say Ethan Chapin, Kernodle’s boyfriend, was more than likely killed in his sleep. He was present in his mattress with a blanket partially protecting his physique.

Mortensen recalled listening to screams, footsteps, and a chilling male voice saying, “You are gonna be nice. I am gonna show you how to” earlier than recognizing Kohberger minutes later. Prosecutors now consider Kernodle could not have been a deliberate goal — solely encountering Kohberger by probability after the preliminary murders.
