Newly released bodycam footage shows Dylan Mortensen, the University of Idaho student who lived with the four friends killed by Bryan Kohberger, detailing what she witnessed on the night of the murders.

Mortensen, who is in her early 20s, is one of two roommates who survived the night of November 13, 2022, when Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Ethan Chapin were sadly killed in their off-campus home.

Kohberger, a former criminology student who lived in Washington, has since been convicted and sentenced for the deaths, but he has never shared a motive for the killings.

Three years on from the crimes, details continue to emerge, and on August 21, Law&Crime Network released almost an hour-long video made up of bodycam footage from officers who responded to the scene.

The video, which UNILAD has chosen not to include due to its distressing nature, shows Mortensen speaking to officers about what she witnessed on the night Kohberger broke into the home, with the student clearly emotional and distressed over the events.

Mortensen described hearing Goncalves 'scream' that 'someone's in the room' after she went upstairs, prompting her to run back down.

"That's what I'm pretty sure she said," Mortensen added later, "she said 'someone's here'."

Mortensen said she 'kept calling her name', but Goncalves 'wouldn't answer'.

"And then I saw the guy," she said. "And I just locked the door, and then I ran downstairs."

The student said she heard 'someone in the bathroom' and heard a woman crying, adding: "I heard some guy say that 'you're going to be okay, I'm going to help you'.

"I kept calling her name but she wasn't answering. And then I opened the door for a second and I saw this guy and he was, not insanely tall but he was wearing all black and like this mask that just covered his forehead and his mouth."

Mortensen said she saw the man around 4am, before she ran down to her roommate, Bethany Funke's, room and they locked the door.

"We just tried to go to bed, and then we woke up and it was weird because none of our roommates were up, and we called all of them they were not waking up," she continued.

Mortensen later told officers the man she'd seen 'didn't say anything' to her, but expressed belief he'd gone through the sliding glass door in the house.

Officers later determined that this was the door Kohberger had used to enter the home.
