Mortensen allegedly believed that the sounds of four of his brutally murdered housemates were sounds of college partygoers at his house.

He reportedly called his friends and roommates during the early morning hours of November 13 to calm down.

‘Calm down, you’re being loud!’ he reportedly yelled around 4 am, as well as: ‘I’m trying to sleep!’

The college student then closed and locked her door, according to one report in the New York Post.

After hearing more loud noises that night, Mortensen reopened the door and saw that the defendant had murdered Kohberger, but believed it to be a partygoer.

The alleged claims respond to questions from Chapin’s sister-in-law who questioned why Mortensen, who was on the property along with Bethany Funke, did not call police after seeing the suspect leave the home.

His sister-in-law has since revealed that Mortensen called all of the roommates after hearing “screaming and crying” coming from their rooms.

Many wonder why it took him so long to raise the alarm, after hearing “crying” and coming face to face with the killer. Pictured (L-R) Dylan Mortensen, Xana Kernodle, Bethany Funke, Kaylee Goncalves and Maddie Mogen

Dylan Mortensen (pictured), who survived the murders, did not call the police at the time of the murders. Instead, he claimed that he believed the screamers above were partygoers.

Kohberger allegedly committed the heinous crimes sometime between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. on November 13. Mortensen told police that he heard several fights during the night and opened the door where he saw a suspect.

Chapin was murdered outside Kernodle’s bedroom and Kernodle apparently attempted to fight off the killer by repeatedly grabbing suspect Kohberger’s knife.

Ethan’s sister-in-law made several posts online before alleged quadruple murderer Bryan Kohberger’s arrest affidavit was unsealed.

Her sister-in-law said she needed to “explain herself and her actions” the night of the murders.

Posting in a thread on Reddit, the sister-in-law said: ‘I allegedly called every girl in the house after the crying and screaming stopped and no one answered, and she still hasn’t called the police.

‘She needs to explain herself and her actions that night.’

When asked who called the police, she added: ‘The person who called 911 was the friend who came in because D called him to come over because she was scared by what she heard in the night.

“First she went to Xana and Ethan’s room, then she called 911. The question is why D or B didn’t call the police once.”

Mortensen told police he heard several fights during the night and opened the door where he saw a suspect dressed all in black with a mask covering his face and heard one of his housemates say, “There’s someone here.”

He also heard the suspect say: ‘Okay, I’m here to help you’ as he wandered around the house committing the atrocity.

Ethan, a triplet, was murdered outside Kernodle’s bedroom. He was on the second floor of the house with Kernodle.

Investigators are seen removing a bloody mattress from the home on December 30.

Police confirmed that a 911 call was made from the phone of one of the surviving roommates at 11:58 a.m. requesting help for an unconscious person, though who spoke to police has not been confirmed.

Some argued that Mortensen did not call 911 immediately because she may have been “frozen” with fear.

Goncalves and Mogen were killed first, and then Chapin and Kernodle were killed on the second floor of the house.

Chapin was murdered outside Kernodle’s room. Kernodle apparently attempted to fight off the killer by repeatedly grabbing suspect Kohberger’s knife.

He had deep cuts on his fingers. Chapin was apparently slashed at the neck.

Kohberger, who is studying criminology at WSU, was charged with the murders in December after DNA found on a knife sheath next to the bodies of Goncalves and Mogen matched his own.
