Newly unsealed court documents detail how University of Idaho student Xana Kernodle fought back against her killer, Bryan Kohberger, during the November 13, 2022 attacks that left four students dead.
According to the filing, Kernodle, 20, sustained 67 stab wounds during the early morning massacre inside the off‑campus home in Moscow, Idaho.
Crime‑scene findings cited in the court filing indicate transfer blood from Mogen and Goncalves was found on the stairs and near Kernodle’s room.
The court filing also notes the chaotic struggle may explain why Kohberger left behind the KA‑BAR knife sheath that ultimately linked him to the scene.
The evidence gathered against Kohberger led him to plead guilty to four counts of murder, avoiding the death penalty.
