Idaho murder victim Xana Kernodle received DoorDash delivery just moments before murder

Idaho murder victim Xana Kernodle received a DoorDash delivery moments before she, her boyfriend and their two friends were killed, according to a recently released police affidavit.

The affidavit, which recounts the moments when Moscow police officer Brett Payne entered the home on Kings Street and found the four college students brutally stabbed to death, says Kernodle received the food order around 4 am on the night of November 13.

About 12 minutes later, Dylan Mortensen, who survived the attack, said he thought he heard 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves say “Someone’s here,” but a forensic review suggests it may have been Kernodle watching videos on TikTok at the time. .

Police now say that Kernodle, her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, and Madison Mogen, 21, were killed between 4 a.m. and 4:25 a.m. that night by Bryan Kohberger.

Kohberger, 28, was arrested on December 30, more than a month after the quadruple slaying. He was denied bail on Thursday as new court documents revealed his DNA was found on a knife sheath alongside the victim’s bodies.

Idaho quadruple murder suspect Bryan Kohberger applied for an internship with the Pullman Police Department in Washington state and wrote an essay saying he wanted to help rural police officers

The shocking police affidavit released Thursday details how Mortensen was awakened multiple times on the night of November 13, before coming face to face with her friend’s killer.

He says he first woke up around 4 am so he thought it sounded like Goncalves playing with his dog in one of the rooms upstairs.

A short time later, he said he heard what he thought was Goncalves saying something to the effect of “There’s someone here.”

But a forensic check of Kernodle’s phone showed that she was awake at the time and using the TikTok app, suggesting the sound could be coming from a TikTok video.

Mortensen told police at the scene that he looked out the window at the suggestion that someone might be on the premises, but saw nothing.

He then opened the door only a few minutes later when he thought he heard crying coming from Kernodle’s room.

At that point, the affidavit chillingly reveals that she heard a male voice say something to the effect of “Okay, I’ll help you.”

At 4:17 a.m., security cameras located just northwest of the home picked up distorted audio of what appeared to be voices or a moan followed by a thud.

A dog was also heard barking several times.

Mortesensen said she then decided to open the door again, when she saw a man dressed in black with a mask covering his mouth and nose walking towards her.

She said the man walked past her while she was in a “frozen shock phase” and walked to the sliding glass door in the back as she locked herself in her bedroom.

The revelations now raise more questions about the night of the slayings, as cops said they didn’t receive a 911 call about the quadruple homicide until about seven hours later.

Kohberger, 28, is accused of murdering Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin on November 13 in the sleepy college town of Moscow, Idaho.

The 19-page affidavit released Thursday revealed that Kohberger, a criminology student at Washington State University, visited the home at least 12 times before the murder and turned off his phone the night of the murders to avoid detection.

He was denied bail during a brief court appearance in Moscow. He will return to court on January 12 for a status hearing.

Kohberger spent most of the 10-minute hearing looking directly at Judge Megan Marshall as she was read her rights and the five counts, answering “yes” when asked if she understood each count.

He remained impassive throughout, but stirred briefly during the reading of the final tally: the murder of Ethan Chapin for which he faces life in prison or the death penalty.

The suspect in the Idaho murders, Bryan Kohberger, appears in court this afternoon. He was denied bail and he will return to court on January 12.

Bryan Kohberger is shown in custody in Idaho. Police today released their 19-page affidavit against Kohberger ahead of his first appearance in Idaho court.

Kaylee Goncalves’ family was also in court, with her mother shaking her head and sobbing as the murder charge involving her daughter was read.

After the hearing, the family’s lawyer told reporters: “It was an emotional moment for the family to see the defendant for the first time and the family will be in this for a long time.”

Kohberger has been charged with four counts of murder and one count of robbery for the November 13 massacre.

If convicted, he faces the death penalty for the murders of Idaho students Maddie Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
