Cops 'puzzled' by 8-hour window before Idaho murder victims' roommates called 911

Cops are still “puzzled” about why a surviving roommate in the University
of Idaho quadruple murder waited eight hours after the slaughter to call
police, an Idaho law enforcement source told The Post.

Dylan Mortensen, 21, opened her bedroom door to see an unknown “figure
clad in black clothing and a mask” walking past her, towards the home’s
back exit, just after 4 a.m. on Nov. 13, she told investigators.

Yet neither she nor the other spared roommate, Bethany Funke, 21, called
police until noon.

The 8-hour gap “has been something that we have puzzled over — we don’t
know if it was an issue of intoxication, or of fear,” the lawman said.

According to a newly released police affidavit, in the moments before
Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were
stabbed to death on the two upper floors of the Moscow house, Mortensen
thought she heard Goncalves saying, “There’s someone here,” followed by
the sound of crying from Kernodle’s room and a male voice ringing out,
“It’s ok, I’m going to help you.”

Early police reports said that Funke and Mortensen, who lived on the
bottom floor of the house, recruited friends to the scene before one of
them finally called 911 at 11:58 a.m. The pair were quickly ruled out as
suspects and have cooperated with the investigation, cops have said.

Despite the baffling delay, cops on the case “are really, really confident
about it not being an issue of [Mortensen] being involved,” the source
said.

“We look at these things through the lens of rational adults — and when we
do that, sometimes things don’t make sense to us — but she’s a 20-year-old
girl and we don’t know what she was doing, or if she was scared,” he
continued.

Law enforcement is also currently coming up empty in their search for
connections between the six students and the accused killer, 28-year-old
Bryan Kohberger, who lived a 15 minute-drive away in Pullman, Wash., where
he was a PhD student studying criminology.

“There’s no rhyme or reason to it — there are no ties between them,” the
source said. “Nobody has said ‘we’ve found the link’ — and that would
include Dylan.”

Kohberger was arrested on Dec. 30 in his parents’ home in Albrightsville,
PA. He and his dad had driven cross country in Kohberger’s Hyundai
Elantra, which had been spotted near the killing scene on the night of the
murders.

One expert said the 8-hour delay likely made no difference in lives lost.

“The four were dead when the guy left, and they weren’t crying for help,
they weren’t moving or trying to get out,” said Dr. Michael Baden, former
chief medical examiner of New York City, adding, “They weren’t in a
condition where an ambulance could save their life, on the basis of what
we know now.”

“People are concerned about [the delay in calling for help], but it isn’t
a concern from a forensic point of view. Nothing was interfered with by
that delay,” Baden stated.
