The biggest bombshells from Netflix’s ‘The Idaho Murders’ documentary - Page Six

What the report says

Page Six reported that Netflix’s three-part docuseries “The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare” revisits the November 2022 killings of four University of Idaho students at an off-campus house in Moscow, Idaho: Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. The article says Bryan Kohberger, a former Washington State University criminology student, pleaded guilty on July 2, 2025, and received four consecutive life sentences, but did not explain a motive. Page Six also noted a later development not covered in the series: Kohberger’s July 26 claim that he is innocent and wants to undo his guilty plea.

Among the documentary’s key revelations, Page Six highlighted how some friends learned there had been a homicide through a university-wide emergency message before they were personally told what had happened. Officials interviewed in the series described tension over the timing of that alert, with Moscow police saying they would have preferred coordination before it went out.

The report also describes new details from surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen, who said she heard a scream, a roommate saying someone was in the house, and an unfamiliar male voice saying the victims would be “OK” and that he would “help.” The series also addresses why police were not called until hours later; Kaylee Goncalves’ mother said she was told the victims could not have survived even with an earlier 911 call.

Page Six further reported that friends of the victims described online accusations and harassment before Kohberger’s arrest. A former classmate said Kohberger was highly engaged in a “Minds of a Serial Killer” class, and the documentary discusses an alleged Reddit questionnaire asking formerly incarcerated people about choosing and approaching victims.
