On the morning of Nov. 14, 2022, the University of Idaho students woke up, went upstairs and discovered their roommates had been killed during the night. Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, who was staying the night, had been stabbed to death the night before.
