911 audio reveals confusion and panic after 4 Idaho college students killed
Audio from a 911 call made after four University of Idaho college students were fatally stabbed reveals the panic of the survivors as they struggled to understand what occurred.
The 911 audio call made on the morning of Nov. 13, 2022, was obtained by NBC News on Friday, about two weeks after the transcript of the call was entered into court documents.
The first person on the phone appears to be in a panic and crying before another woman provides the address of the rented off-campus home on King Road in Moscow, Idaho.
“One of the roommates who’s passed out and she was drunk last night, and she’s not waking up,” the woman tells the dispatcher. “Oh, and they saw some man in their house last night.”
Another woman takes the phone, and the callers appear to check on someone. The audio captured rapid breathing of a caller who sounded as if they were terrified.
A male then can be heard saying, “get out, get out, get out.”
A dispatcher then asks, “Is she breathing?” and a man replies, “No.”
The dispatcher asks if they have a defibrillator in the home, is told yes and was prepared to give instructions when police appear to have arrived. The call ends shortly thereafter.
The transcript of the call was included in a motion filed Feb. 24 as prosecutors sought to include it in the trial of the accused killer, Bryan Kohberger.
Prosecutors say Kohberger, 30, fatally stabbed Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the Moscow home in November 2022.
He has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary. A judge entered a not guilty plea on his behalf.
A motive remains unclear in the slayings.
Kohberger’s trial has been set for Aug. 11. Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty.

Idaho angler reels in record 43.25-inch lake trout at Payette Lake
MISSOULA, Mont. — An Idaho Falls angler is back in the Idaho record books after landing a record-setting lake trout at Payette Lake.
Idaho Fish and Game said Dylan Smith caught and released a 43.25-inch lake trout on May 2, setting a new state catch-and-release record for the species. The fish surpassed the previous record of 42 inches.
The catch marks Smith’s second appearance in Idaho’s record books. He previously held the state catch-and-release lake trout record after landing a trophy fish in 2018 before that mark was later broken.
According to Fish and Game, Payette Lake has become one of Idaho’s premier lake trout fisheries thanks to years of management efforts aimed at improving both lake trout and kokanee populations.

Boise’s North End finds new way to mark Pride after Idaho law halts flag display
Pride Month looks different this June along Boise’s Harrison Boulevard, where a long-standing tradition of hanging Pride flags on lamp posts has been put on hold after a new state law restricted which flags can be flown on government property.
For several years, Pride flags lined lamp posts along Harrison Boulevard in Boise’s North End neighborhood. But Idaho House Bill 561, signed by Gov. Brad Little in March, restricts which flags can be flown on government property, including the City of Boise’s Harrison lamp posts.
In response, a group of neighbors formed Pride North End and launched a distribution effort to help residents show support from their own front yards. The group has been making Pride flags and yard signs available to people who want to display them at home.
“I thought that I would…be a personal example of ‘yes, this is what I do.’ This is what I believe in,” said Edna Schochat, a North End resident.
Pride North End has already distributed more than 900-yard signs and 250 flags. The group’s original donation goal was around $2,000 to order 100 flags and 200 yard signs, but it has exceeded that GoFundMe goal, reaching $10,000 worth of donations.
The group plans to continue holding public flag and sign distributions through the end of the month.
“We cannot just say something without doing something that proves that we mean what we say,” Schochat said.
Pride North End said any leftover funds after materials are distributed will go to local LGBTQ+ nonprofits. A link to the group’s GoFundMe can be found here.
