Big update:Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle’s bodies were first discovered by Ethan’s best friend who came over to the house that morning. He checked for Ethan’s pulse and yelled out for roommates to call 911. It is believed he also spoke to 911 dispatchers, but was not the only one. So to people out there who have judged Roomate DM, this is why you wait for the facts!!!
How does this clear DM?
@@athena7842maybe she didn’t realize what happened that night, the guy left, she went back to bed and slept in past the time Ethan’s best friend found him?
@@allmightybeaverbut I thought she said that she saw the guy with the black mask and she was frozen by fear
@@athena7842 DM changes her story too much.
So the best friend came over. Nobody called him. Who let him in?
Survivors guilt can literally drive people insane. I sincerely hope the surviving roommates are getting any help and support they may need. People wanna play Scooby-Doo and act like they know more than professionals so bad they forget this stuff impacts real people.
Survivor’s guilt kinda ruined my entire life, and my loved one wasn’t even murdered
It's just normal curiosity imo
@Philosphy Logic I’ll take things that’s didn’t happen for $500, Alex. 🙄
Nah they deserve all the guilt and shame that comes towards them
Their negligence helped aid in their roommates death 🙄
@@bleepblerp2247 🙄
I haven’t heard anyone else HUMANIZE these victims quite like you have. Thank you for being so kind and respectful when talking about them. And just wow. Every time I hear about this case and how brutal it was, it makes me stomach sick and it’s just so so sad and senseless
Like literally I’ve watched over tons of videos on this case but fr fr nobody did it as good as Kendal
Stephanie Soo also covered this case and she showed a lot of respect for the victims.
@@dulcerodriguez3950 this
Watch Stephanie harlowe. She is just as good as Kendall. Top true crime CZcamsrs in my opinion
Sherrilyn Dale made a really good video in my opinion too
This is the first case I've heard of where information is SO heavily guarded. They did good with this. I hope the 4 victims are in peace now.
I think it must be so hard to have to investigate these brutal murders and have to withhold information from grieving families. But all the while they know that the best they can do for the families is to protect the information so that they can make a strong conviction.
@@kimmiegirl810yeah and I understand why the families might’ve thought the police weren’t looking into it properly. Being that there’s been 1000s of missing person cases where the police came to the conclusion that the victim ran away despite signs of foul play
There is so my corruption going on Brian didn't work alone one , two my mom is a high profiled lawyer and if u knew the truth about this case u wouldn't believe it .
@@bellateresa2710so what’s going on?
@@bellateresa2710the killer is caught it’s only one what y’all protecting ?😂
it breaks my heart when ethan’s mom talks about how at the end of the parent weekend, her and ethan’s dad feeling like they finally did it as parents, they raised good children who have become good adults and will go on to do good things. it’s so awful.
My husband and I just had the same conversation with my husband " we did good' As parents we wish we could do more for the family
I was choked up up until that point but seeing the parents speak and in so much pain was so heartbreaking and i cried my eyes out
Tbh it just seems like the killer Kohberger was a jealous "mad-at-the-world" incel type misogynist. He may have targeted innocent, attractive women because they seemed happy (he followed all three female victims on Instagram, was warned repeatedly about interactions with women at bars, etc). Poor Ethan was just taking care of his girlfriend.
My heart breaks for Jack too, could you imagine? Getting so many missed calls from your ex and not answering and then the next day finding out she was murdered? Holy crap…. I couldn’t even imagine.
That poor guy was raked over the coals so unnecessarily 😢
He could of just been sleeping and woke up freaking out too…😔 he probably didn’t intentionally not answer and would scar him for life
He has most likely beat himself up over missing her calls, thinking --""if only I had answered her calls""--...
Heartbreaking..... 😢😣
Yea....esp after she dumped you....and was sleeping in bed with another girl. The poor dude got gutted
@@rockscousteau well it was her best friend
Maddie’s dad up there alone breaks my heart. Praying for peace for him & all family’s affected. Thanks Kendall for speaking about this
I know right , how he’s fidgeting and blissfully reminiscing about her😢😢. I hope these families find peace in this tragedy .
I know right?? Everytime he spoke I cried, you can see how much he loved and thought the world of her. I just wanna give him a hug
It was one of the most heartbreaking of all, their only child. Wish u could turn back time and change just 1 thing.
Wow I didn’t even say a single unallowed word 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 my nice comment just went pooooof. F you CZcams. F you. I hate you lolol
@@kanoelani7495 the way he went from “is” to “was” a couple times made my heart break
I am a friend of Ethan’s and when I say this has been the HARDEST year, I mean it. I met him a couple years ago at our local tulip festival and quickly learned that we’ve had connections our whole lives as I grew up with his cousins. Ethan was one of the most amazing people. He always knew how to make people happy and smile on their worst days. Ethan was a light that the world desperately needed, as all 4 of them were. We miss E everyday. Thank you for covering.
I'm so sorry for your loss ❤ sending hugs and prayers
I’m so sorry!!! I recently lost someone from my school to a suicide which was super hard! Grief is a process! Sending love❤️❤️
❤🥹
❤❤
I'm so sorry. May God bring you and all the victims families eternal peace.
I feel sorry for DM. I saw a man kill himself in front of me when I was around 16 (he had jumped of a car park building and landed on the ground in front of me). All I could mentally do is walk around like a zombie for a few hours unable to comprehend what happened and couldn't really speak either due to the shock. You don't know how you would react in that moment.
that’s so upsetting, im so sorry u had to watch that
When I was a child I escaped a house fire. I didn’t tell anyone from the crowd that had gathered outside that I had been in there. I ran home and went to bed. Only after a friend broke the ‘news’ to me of the house fire did I admit to having been in it. It was a traumatic experience
@@midiknight6404 that's awful - hope you're doing better now x
@@midiknight6404 that’s soo scary, im so sorry!
I don’t feel sorry for her at all
Someone broke into my house recently and scared me very badly. I fought them off and cried hysterically after they left and forgot to call the police until I was telling a relative what happened and they told me to call the police. Sometimes when you’re hysterical and in a panic, you forget to call for help because all you can handle or think of at the time is your panic.
I’m so sorry that happened to you I can’t even imagine how scary that was for you I’m glad your ok but still that’s fricken scary stay safe sweetie also do u have cameras?❤️
Omg? Thats so scary I’m so glad u were able to fight them off!
Same goes for my mum. In the 90s she got attacked by a stranger, a guy who was working on his car, he saw her and crossed the street to attack her randomly. He chocked her and she fought him off, then went straight home and did nothing until her mum told her to go to the police. She said the trauma only came when she talked to her mum about it and hours later when she was home alone and realized what has actually happened.
Yes! Shock can make you go into denial and just not be able to comprehend what just happened. It’s a completely common shock response
But to not even check on her roommates...
I get that she probably already feels bad enough but I don't understand how you could go back to sleep after seeing a masked man in your house.
The way Maddie's dad talks about her gets me so bad. She was clearly everything to him. His only baby, his pride and joy. And now he lost her. My heart truly breaks for him, for all of them. This is so devastating. They were so full of life.
The pain in his eyes is heart wrenching. He lost his whole world 😔
When he called her Maddie May i just lost it..
The way he squirmed during his speech just shows how overwhelming it was.. he was so proud of her. He was so in love.. and now his heart is broken 💔
Yes it was like all he had. ☹️
😢🥹❤️🩹
I also feel so bad for the roommates that weren’t attacked, I can’t imagine how much guilt and sadness they likely feel. Especially considering some people were trying to accuse them of being involved. And that’s not what they need at all. They need support too.
They must have been involved. There is no way watching or hearing 4 people getting killed then had the nerves to go back to your beauty sleep then wait 8 hours to call authorities when it’s convenient for you. That’s some real sick shit if you ask me. There’s no excuse.
@@rubyshay6352 it makes me sick knowing there are more people like you just going off and accusing those young individuals. even if they were guilty of something, its not your place to decide that.
Back in uni I slept through a van crashing into the shared house we were renting as a group. It crashed just below my room. I don’t know how people can accuse those roommates on sole reason that they didn’t hear anything.
@@rubyshay6352you're not a detective and you don't get to decide that. the roommates are victims as well and people like you who make up these conspiracy theories are disgusting.
@@papuzka0I'm so sorry you went through that! I totally understand because I will literally sleep through anything. also, if I wake up during the night for something and quickly fall back asleep, I won't remember what happened. people need to back off these roommates because we don't know why they didn't call the police! there could be a ton of reasons but wannabe detectives want to speculate instead of learning the facts first.
36:14 has me choked up. “She sure is- was.” The quick correction he made on himself was goddamn gut wrenching. I’m so close with my dad I can’t imagine him having to give a speech like this.
😊😊😊
Nothing hit me quite as hard as when you said Ethan was in highschool when covid hit. Really put into perspective how young they were. Thanks for covering their stories and not just the horrible way their lives ended.
it breaks my heart because he was the same age as me
xana’s grad year was 2020, when classes shut down
They were literally still kids. I know they were in college but we’re still kids when we’re in college. And some of the comments I see about them are lacking so much compassion for these kids. It’s really heartbreaking 💔 They deserved so much more. Poor kiddos.
Them being 20 to 21 really hit me because I'm 21... I cannot imagine what that community and their families have been through.
To the two survivors: we are SO glad that you are okay.
I can’t imagine how they’re coping. I’ve heard plenty of people chastise “DM” for not calling for help sooner… but honestly I have no idea how I would have reacted to something like that in my early 20s. When you’re terrified time stands still. It’s also not uncommon to literally pass out (vasovagal syncope).
@@micheles.1179 I’ve been seeing too many with far too much to say about DM and on one hand I get that everyone doesn’t know about or truly understand the nervous system and stress responses but on another I can’t imagine being unaware of these things and being anything but thankful that the two young girls survived and DM was able to give a helpful description of the suspect
@@bushdenae I agree I have had to see neurologists for seizures and honestly even the MDs who study the brain all have different ideas and theories about the brain and the fact is even they don’t know everything about it so let’s not rule out the very likely possibility it was a pure neurological reaction to the situation. But also maybe she was just f*cling terrified to move to do anything maybe she wasn’t sure if the guy was still in the house and she was consumed with thoughts of am I next? Is he coming back? She literally experienced something out of a horror movie and in your early twenties your brain is STILL developing. You’re only slightly better at decision making than a teenager.
@@micheles.1179 fr like being frozen in fear is a very real thing. heartbroken for everyone involved :/
This should have more likes and should be higher up. Knowing how horrible people are on the internet, I bet they are getting blamed and harassed. So digusting. They deserve all the support and positive uplifting in the world.
I love how you always focus on victims first. I have always appreciated your deep respect for the victims and their grieving family.
She's a well raised Westerner..May God bless more parents in the Western world to raise their kids as humble and mannered as Tanzanians are.Amen
@@mtz5582 Amen
That poor girl, she's not only being blamed for not calling the police sooner, but has to endure her own thoughts of, "What if?" I truly feel so badly for her. I hope that she gets all the help and compassion she needs to be at peace with the whole situation.
@@bleepblerp2247absolutely not. they couldn’t have been saved if the police got there even 10 minutes after the fact. what a horrible thing to say.
@@abby4405 but if they could have been they still would have died because of her negligence.
@@hannavasr2269she wasn’t being negligent she was in shock
Y’all offer people far too much grace
The police should have been called, sorry.
The fact that Maddie was an only child really choked me up. Her father’s pain hit me hard. So soft spoken 😢
Her stepmother arrested for drug dealing!
You can tell her cherished her
@@internetcensure5849 that’s not relevant
@@internetcensure5849 Why does that matter at all in this situation? Stupid comment
@@internetcensure5849 And? What does that have to do with anything?
I can not imagine being one of the roommates who was not attacked. What a traumatic experience and what guilt they probably feel from being the survivors. So so so sad
Exactly I can't imagine going through this trauma especially in early adulthood. I understand the weirdness of waiting 8 hours to report or call the police but everyone is different.
Well she had 8 full hours to contemplate what took place before her eyes and ears prior to the police arriving. One certainly has to wonder. If you SEE SOMETHING.....SAY SOMETHING!
Was she of afraid to summon the police for OTHER REASONS unbeknownst to the public? After all, it was widely known to be a party house to score "Molly" in. Hmmmmm.....🤔🤨 Just sayin'. Ya think this gave them pause? Why else would you wait 8 hours. Gripped with fear is one thing in the heat of the moment. But AFTERWARDS, why not at LEAST protect yourself from possible harm by alerting the authorities....JUST IN CASE!!!! Duhhhhh.....ya think? Are college kids REALLY this clueless? She could have easily been the 5th victim! If I saw and heard all that racket and didn't, have a gun in reach to defend myself, you better be DARN SURE I'm calling in the calvary IMMEDIATELY. Even if it takes them 30 minutes to get there....(the police station was actually very close to that complex). Because they would at least maybe catch him or see him. fleeing the area! And maybe even stopped him for speeding away and killing OTHERS in a possible spree! 🤔🙄
Only to be blamed for it….
I know imagine hearing weird noises, then opening your door and seeing a man in a mask just walking by.
Btk did same thing double life killers get fame. He is now famous. It is not gonna stop. 80percent of serial killers are American.
As a University of Idaho student and a watcher of yours for years, I really appreciate how respectfully you covered this. Best coverage I’ve seen yet. Thank you so much for being kind and talking about who these students were.
i think this is genuinely the most respectful coverage i have seen about this case. thank you for taking so much time to talk about the victims. there’s been so much sensationalism around this case that it seems like they often get left behind❤️
This is typical of Kendall's warmth and respect for all victim's. Thank you. Kendall.
Check out Sherrilyn Dale's video too. She's really great.
I love it that at the press conferences when the police spokesman was giving information, every time he says the names of all four victims.
she always covers them in the most respectful way there is
I completely agree, this is one of the reasons I love Kendall. She really has empathy and cares so much about these people and their grieving family & friends. Rare to see nowadays. I don't like how the media focuses on the suspect SO MUCH, because that's exactly what they want, all the attention.
There’s no grief competition but man, Maddie’s dad sounds so broken. You can just feel how much his daughter meant to him, every time he speaks I choke up
Maddie's step mother is a druggie.
his necktie is color pink
which is maddie favorite color 💔❤️
his only child 😭
😭😭😭
He broke my heart. She was so very lucky to have him. I hope he finds comfort in knowing that she never knew anything but love from him.
My cousin was murdered two weeks ago. I'd love to see you cover his case, I know his family would speak to you. RIP Timothy Pouliot
I’m so so so very sorry for your loss, I’m very close with my cousins and could never handle that on top of my younger brothers passing. No one should have to go through that. I hope your doing well and i’ll be praying for you and your family.
i sincerely hope you get more coverage and help
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope they look further into it (am unfamiliar with the case)>
I'm so sorry for this great loss 💔💔
sorry for your loss
Maddie’s dad broke my heart I can’t imagine losing a child let alone your only child my heart goes out to all the victims and their families this is just so devastating
I appreciate so much how in depth you go into ensuring the victims retain their personhood. They’re not just a story, like so many true crime CZcamsrs treat them. I love your content Kendall
Agreed!
Couldn’t agree more, having victims families speak and everything…seriously such an important part of true crime content.
Thank YOU!
You would think would him having a masters degree he would have not been so sloppy. I am so glad he was sloppy. They moved so fast on this case. Makes you wonder why some cases take yrs. I think the police spent 100% or their time and assets on this case. I just wish they did this on all cases
Second that 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The smile on Maddy’s dad’s face when he talks about her is both heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time.
🤣
It kills me. He loved her so much.
@@internetcensure5849 no
Hearing him almost say is and changing it to was - absolutely heartbreaking
Kendall, your grace when you introduce and discuss difficult things like this is so so admirable and appreciated. It has gotten so easy to become desensitized to this after the way it has been discussed online, and you brought the humanity back to the whole case. Thank you for what you do.
Maddie's loving personality is so visibly reflected in her father, it's so clear she got that bright and loving personality from him!! I just wanna give him a hug 🥺
The tempo, pitch, and concern in your tone is so appropriate. You have maturity, class, and genuine care towards the victims, their loved ones, and to the viewers who are sensitive to this case. I enjoyed how focused you kept it beginning to end with insightful information. You are not a CZcamsr that smokes, applies makeup, or seems distracted by anything else during the delivery of your videos. Thank you for that because my nervous system has kept me away from viewing anyone else relay this horrific situation. A situation that has pivoted the course of so many lives in a somber way. I wish us all safety and gentle days and evenings ahead. To anyone: If you fear harming yourself or others, please seek help.
…very very well put. She is remarkable!!!
Isn’t she the greatest, she needs a Netflix deal or something. She’s capable of producing some amazing things
@@jadakiss379 she’s grand at running the whole production herself! Utmost admiration for her
@@lucys1288 Thank you! After watching her post I felt quite eloquent and had the urge to connect with others like Kendall
@@jonisoma5726 You are correct!
Ethans mom is incredible. I was in awe at how strong she was when speaking publicly. I wouldve been a disaster if I were in her position.
his dad though 😢
I don't have any children, I'm 26 years old, I can't even imagine how they feel, but I know I would have been a disaster too if I was in their position
Thinking the same, when she got up to speak, I just broke down crying and that’s not even my child,to all the parents just such strength, sending so much love to them and the community in Idaho, I hope that whoever did this gets what’s coming for them
It hits way harder if you come from a toxic family to hear someone talk so dearly about their beloved kid
Right I would of disappeared from public view immediately
I remember having classes with Kaylee and maddi. Looking back at memories it’s just so crazy this was their future . I pray for their families this is such-a devastation to our town and state. I truly believe those two girls were soulmates. Hearing kaylees father speak about their love and friendship. Despite the tragedy I’m glad those girls were together in their last moments . Their souls are in heaven together
Kendall PLEASE update us on this case as soon as there are updates. You are hands down the best true crime channel there is!!!
Regardless of religion beliefs, I like to think that those two girls are reborn into the next life together as real sisters. I hope their souls are given a second chance to fly together again.
I hope so too. And I hope that Xana and Ethan find each other in a next life and grow old together. I hope the universe can give all 4 of these beautiful souls another chance. If not, at least a paradise somewhere together.
Absolutely!!!! 💚💚💚💚
Me too, I hope as twins 🥹
What a beautiful thought ❤️
@@rickyscott9351 very well said.
Maddie’s dad breaks my heart, I’m also an only child, and I could only imagine the unbelievable loss his experiencing, I hope he has a strong support system 💔
Omg.. me too... he crushed me. He lost his only baby. He made me welp up. 😢
My heart breaks for all the families, but Maddie's dad especially 😞 my daughter is an only child, and I can't even imagine 😭 idk if I would be able to go on 💯
omg my heart shattered when he spoke💔
Same here, only child. My dad has passed and if something were to happen to me while my mom was still alive, I don’t think she’d be able to go on. Hearing her dad speak really broke my heart.
Did you hear him refer to her in the present tense and had to correct himself and use past tense in his speech? That’s when I broke down 😭 I don’t think he even realized it
This case is almost unreal... it's so tragic and sickening... I'm traumatized just hearing about it so I can't even imagine what the surviving roommates are going through. The fact that these beautiful young people were good people doing everything right, and this Monster did this. It's terrifying. Thank you Kendall for presenting this case with such grace and empathy. Thank you for all that you do.
It was traumatic all around. Before they announced who the victims were, I didn't know whether it was someone I knew or not. Then there was the whole the murderer being in the loose in my homestate. It honestly kind of felt like the first Scream movie for awhile in my homestate. (I live across the state from where the murders happened.) Kaylee was a friend of a friend. It's just heartbreaking all around.
This is beyond terrifying. As someone who is going into criminalistics/CSI to HELP people, I'm always haunted by the horrible monsters who use that knowledge to commit crimes. Thank you Kendall, as always for your respectful coverage. ❤️
my heart breaks watching maddie's dad talking about her. you can feel the utter love and adoration for his only child through the screen. he was so proud of her
Yes, a parent should NEVER have to bury a child. It's heart aching.
You're the only true crime content I consume anymore. Even some news channels were being so sensational and practically gleeful in their reporting of this tragedy. This was just so random and violent I think it scared us all.
Definitely just came out of nowhere. And I also relate to Kendall being one of the few true crime channels I watch, there are a few who I think are respectful about it but so many exploit these stories for money and fame but Kendall actually cares.
Crime weekly and Stephanie Harlow are also amazing. They were on the Mile Higher podcast so you know Kendall approves lol
Agreed 😔
10 to life is also a good one
Grizzly true crime is factual also .
my siblings, dad, and i were visiting my two brothers who go to school at the U of I and we left the day the 4 of them were discovered, knowing they were all in the same stadium as me at the game the night before is heartbreaking. it was terrifying knowing my brother lived right down the street from where this happened
People read too much into “froze in fear”. Please stop. How many of you have looked out a door and not expected to see someone? That jolt of fear you feel? You freeze. You hold your breath and hope that they didn’t see you. You quietly close and lock your door praying it’s not the boogie man. Well, in this case it was the boogie man!!!
Thank you for pointing out that Maddie made the Dean's list,and Kaylee graduated early. So many people think they were just "party girls" and somehow caused/deserved this 😞
Even if they were, no one deserved this. People try to destroy their character, as if that makes them undeserving of sympathy

Ethan's mom talking about how proud of her children she felt that weekend before, just broke me. They were so, so young
So heartbreaking
You’re the first person I’ve seen cover this to actually tell information about the victims, their personalities and their lives and I appreciate that ❤
It’s taken me until now to finish this video and it came out seven days ago… I cannot imagine how hard this must be for their families if it was this hard for me to even hear about what happened, having never known them.
It's taken me until recently to finish the video. I watched it twice but couldn't get through it.
I don't think we should judge DM. We don't know what kind of shock/ trauma she experienced that night. She will carry that for the rest of her days. Thank you Kendall for handling this tragic story with so much care.
I have heard that she was already dealing with ptsd, trouble sleeping, and/or sleep paralysis to where she convinced herself she made it up/dreamt it
Exactly, When you’re in shock, all problem solving skills go out the window & you can just be frozen for hours on end.
and it was very brave of her to admit to the police that she’d witnessed something- as she may have been feeling guilt & fear of judgment at that point too- even though none of us know how we’d react in such a terrifying situation & have no right to judge.
Amen! You are a breath of fresh air. I'm glad this channel has a lot of people with common sense. Anytime I would defend DM or BF on other channels, I would be under attack.
@@terrimarsh2103 exactly! I haven’t commented on anything but this for that exact reason!
This!! I think people forget when they see cases talked about online that real people are involved. Whatever happened to DM that night is something she'll carry forever, and it is noones place to judge her actions. I hope she has support around her!
I started to tear up when Ethan’s mom said that they had done it as parents. My heart breaks for the victims and families/friends of the victims. I hope they are able to get justice.
@Dr. Christopher Johnson
?? Are you a creeper?
@@melsafken764 Sounds like it.
Personally, I broke when she mentioned the former employer making the tulips in his name. Just hit in this special place in my heart.
Me too. 🥺💔
@Dr. Christopher Johnson Dude if you want friends, this is not the way to do it.
thank you for being so respectful of this case, the victims, and the families. maddies father specifically got to me, you can see so early how she was his pride and joy. i pray he has an incredibly strong support system right now. i cant imagine what these families are going through
Showing the sisters wasn’t. I and sorry , I don’t think their pics and names should have been released anywhere.
Being a triplet as well, I can’t imagine one of my brothers dying before me. One of my favorite parts of being a triplet is our birthday when people (family included) can’t agree on an order to say our names in so when they sing happy birthday they always, and I mean always, end up saying a jumbled mess of names. I record it every year and it always makes me (and everyone celebrating with us) laugh. I don’t think I’d ever be able to celebrate my birthday again.
I really hated how everyone just completely shat all over the police like 2-3 weeks after. Everyone was all like “COLD CASE!” and I’m like… “It’s been less than a month!” 😭
I agree. And how the parents were also trashing the police, but every time they told them anything the mom and dad would tell reporters. At a certain point you have to prioritize the case and not compromising it.
Yeah the police and FBI can’t share what they know because if the murderer knew what the police knew it can be hard to track them down.
Ya that was really fast
I am in awe at the fact that the police were able to sift through that much material - 19,000 tips! - and actually make what appears to me to be a solid arrest. Kudos to them for such hard work! To start with there was very little evidence. It's all well and good to hear, in abbreviated time, the tangled web they managed to unravel and track down a truly f-ed up individual. His eyes are too wide open which is a red flag to me that he is a psychopath - no soul. May the families all find peace
Agreed. I understand their grief but the police needed to concentrate on the case and keeping things professional and not worry about feeding the press and the public. Obviously, releasing information was not the thing to do. People making up their own narratives is not the police's responsibility.
I was honestly tired of people exploiting this case and everything about it, but when I saw you made a video about it I watched INSTANTLY. You are so kind and respectful (not to mention actively helpful) to everyone affected in these cases, and that's why you'll always be my favorite true crime youtuber ❤️
Yet she made a video RIGHT after the crime happened. She didn't bother waiting. Nope like right after everything.
@@tacobell1299 wtf are you talking about weirdo
This one really made me very emotional. I'm usually able to watch true crime while separating myself and my emotions from the cruel acts happening to people so that I can just listen and learn things. This time i found it really difficult to do that. My heart really aches for these kids, their friends and families.
"not all of that age of kids are out there working all the time but she sure is-- was" 36:11
the correction of a father speaking about his child in the present tense to past tense is PAINFUL to hear
That part of the video played as i read your comment. How heartbreaking. As a mother hearing another parent correct himself to past tense refering to his little girl was so upsetting. What a unimaginable loss for these families and what an absolutely senseless cruel thing the murderer did to these parents
I'm not sure why, but the detail towards the end about the tulip farm owners naming a bulb blend after Ethan gave me literal full body chills in a way I've never experienced before. It's one thing to hear someone's family talk about them so lovingly, but to know that his former employers loved him so much that they'd do this for him after his murder really hit home for me. I don't even like tulips but I still wish I had a garden so I could buy some of those bulbs 😭
Same here. Tulips are my favorite flower and it made me tear up to hear about the special blend created for him.
You can grow them in pots. Tulips are elegant
Same. I can't wait to visit the tulip festival when they are in bloom now. I will definitely buy some for my own garden.
Why not all of them though
@@daniellecruz2917because he had a connection with Ethan not the other victims….
I feel terribly for all the victims parents but Maddie’s dad’s speech really broke my heart. That was his only child. As an only child myself, we really are our parent’s world 😞. So terrible
I totally relate. It’s always been just me and my dad. I have no clue how he would be. Heck how I would be without him. 😢 I truly hope he has a lot of support.
Can relate here as well 😢
Single momma here of 1 child and I couldn't imagine life without him 💔 omg😭 these poor families. May they find comfort in keeping their memories alive❤🕊
narcissist much 😂😂😂😂
@@lindsaysmith3511 umm no just honest. My parents love me lol 🤷🏾♀️
I feel so awful for DM. The survivors guilt she must have is heartbreaking.
I wonder if maybe the roommate thought she was dreaming? And then she woke up and realized it hadn't been a dream? My heart goes out to all the families this is just such a brutal senseless murder
right honestly if something crazy happens to me while i’m sleeping, i don’t remember it in the morning until something reminds me of it
i think this too, or she experienced derealisation.
Honestly its hard to wrap my head around why she didn’t call the police if she saw him at 4am.
@@BlazedBarbie9 I thought the same thing. But maybe there is more to the story, like maybe she was drunk or on something and that's why she wasn't sure what was going on or what she saw. Something just feels off to that part and I think it's because we don't know full of what happens with her during that time. But I feel for them and waking up to that is just so horrible and then knowing maybe you could have done something. Horrible all around.
@@BlazedBarbie9 I don’t think she even realized they were murdered.
Maddie was close with one of my friends and volunteered at CDA fashion week where I am one of the board of directors. It has been devastating seeing my friends grieve and try to process all of this. I have seen the misinformation everywhere and it frustrates me. I really appreciate you, Kendall for waiting to talk about this case.
💔💔💔
I can’t imagine how difficult this is for family and friends. 😢
Oh, my, I am so sorry
Kaylee was friends with a few of my friends. She attended the same high school as me too. It's heartbreaking.
I hope that Maddie's dad has support and that he is not alone. He has such a tender heart.
Me too :( I'm sure the whole community is there for him❤️ Maddie looks a bit like him too, what a sweetheart he is
😢😢I was reading the comments before I actually saw/heard her dad speak. It broke my heart waaayyyy more than I thought it would. I am so sad for her dad. Lord give him strength!😭😭
I’m so glad you covered this. I avoided all news until I could see your coverage bc I knew you’d be extra careful. Thank you so much.
Kendall - I’m grateful for the work you do. I’ve tried watching videos on this case, and they scare me so much that I have dreams about it. You are my trusted source for everything. Even though the video has been out for a month, I hope you know that your hard work is appreciated.
My concern for this case has been high, but I’ve been unable to consume other sources of media. The way you express your concern for the victims themselves rather than focusing on the suspected murderer makes this video top tier educational material. Thank you!
Hearing Maddie’s dad talk about how proud of her he is was so painfully touching. I had to pause this video multiple times…. God those sweet kids.
It’s heart wrenching. As someone who is an only child, I know that I am my mother’s entire heart and her entire world. Having a critical progressive disease myself, it has always been one of my greatest fears for what will happen if I end up dying before her. Just the thought of her facing the pain of losing her only child rips me apart. No parent should ever have to face that pain, but it hits in a different way when it’s an only child. Seeing and hearing Maddie’s dad just absolutely kills me. His entire life, heart and world was stolen from him so violently. I can’t even fathom how a parent goes about grieving that kind of a loss. My deepest and sincerest of prayers go out to all of these families. May God bless them and provide them with strength and comfort.
Yeah I also cried watching this normally I don't cry
So important to have empathy for the survivors. I froze when I realized someone was trying to open my bedroom window while I was sleeping- took me like half a minute to realize I should do something and scream for my parents. I can't imagine how it would feel to KNOW someone was already in your house.
ok but i think we can all agree that its weird that she called her friends first before 911
I wonder if these young people died instantly. If not, could they have been saved if the surviving "victim" had called 911 sooner.
@@bettyfuller4614 I thought about that too. I wonder if anyone was still alive during the time it took to call 911. Also I think it's important to say not just victim, but witness.
@@bettyfuller4614 no need to add guilt to the multitude of emotions the survivors are already dealing with. Leave them alone.
@@gisele__________________ i honestly don't think it's that weird. teenagers & young adults are very quick to call a friend for input before calling emergency responders. plus we don't know what was going through her mind at the time
Maddie’s dad is such a gentle soul 😢 I hope he’s doing ok
My heart completely shatters for the 4 victims and may their souls rest in eternal peace. The part about the one roommate, DM, seeing the masked killer, being frozen with shock, locking herself in her room probably feeling terrified and trying to process everything, then being criticized for not calling 911 sooner also breaks my heart. I hope she's able to get the help she needs to heal from the trauma of the whole situation.
This case was very upsetting, especially how some of the media outlets only report on Kaylee and Maddie. They apparently forgot that Xana and Ethan were victims too. Thank you for always discussing these types of cases very respectfully 🙏
I’m not surprised this is the case. It’s the blonde victim phenomenon. RIP for all.
The role that families play in these situations play a big part in coverage. Kaylees family was on top of it and made sure as many people as possible were aware of the case which resulted in her and Madison getting the most attention.
@@en677 It has nothing to do with the colour of their hair. Law Enforcement, knew that Kaylee was being stalked, and wanted the public to stay focused on Kaylee, and by extension Madison. They knew that one or both were the intended victim, and that the killer went to Kaylee's room first, and then onto Madison's room. Xana heard the commotion came out into the common area, and was attacked, and then Ethan, was attacked and killed. I concur with you in RIP for All.
@@Analaya749 exactly 💯 I don't see why people don't get this 🙄 Kaylee and Maddie were kept in the spotlight, bc that's the only way Kaylee's family's knew to keep attention on the case and tips coming in. If Xana's parents would have been doing the same thing the Goncalves' were, she would have been plastered all over the place as well. I just commented above that I don't understand why people have to down one Creator in order to compliment another. Same thing goes for the victims. You can bring attention to Xana and Ethan, without taking attention away from Kaylee and Maddie. It's not a competition.
@@en677how bout the ridiculous headlines completely irrelevant to the investigation… “GIRLS MURDERED IN BED TOGETHER”
I just want to say Kendall, thank you for always telling these stories in a way that reminds us that these are real people, real lives lost, and real communities. Often times in true crime they become just another number and just another article.. and as a consumer I appreciate the grace, integrity, and love you give not only towards the victims but families and all who are effected. You are one of the CZcamsrs that still cares.❤️
As a mom, I can’t imagine the pain all these families must be going through. I feel for every one of them. I hope they find peace and comfort during this hard time. I appreciate you for waiting to make this video. Sending everyone love and good vibes their way. ❤
I just found your channel and, I must say, your presentation was excellent! Your focus on only the facts is commendable. You are so thorough and thoughtful, with consideration for the families and friends of these wonderful young people. You talk about Kaylee, Maddie, Xana and Ethan with respect and caring. My heart broke when I first heard about this horrific crime. Me, like so many others, need to know how and why this happened. So thank you for your professionalism with regard to such a tragedy. I’m really grateful to have found your network!
I feel for the roommates who survived, and what they are going through. The survivors guilt they must have is huge! Prayers and thoughts go out to the family and friends who mourn these 4 young adults. 💔💔💔💔
People who have never experienced a horrific traumatic experience rarely code an event as horrifically traumatic initially. The roommate may have just heard a scare then the guy leave and thought one of the roommates had a hookup that they kicked out. So because he maybe was rough with the girl, this roommate locked her door for good measure but didn’t code it as a quad hom I cide. The next day, there could have been shock and if they didn’t see how bloody it was on the third floor they may have again coded it as the couple just passed out and waited to call cops to not get anyone in trouble. I think this was an Occam’s razor situation. They used the simplest explanation for things like over drinking and bad hookups instead of quad mass acre with knife by a strange intruder. Many, besides true crime people, would do the same.
Yeah because they're probably involved
@@hotboy80baby18 Please don't spread unsubstantiated allegations. This case is horrific enough without wild speculations. Think about what all those who loved the murder victims are going through.
@@mandymentzer6357 You know, watching true crime doesn’t make you a forensic psychologist
I can't even imagine. They are so young and that is so terrifying. I sincerely hope they are getting help and doing okay.
I’m a WSU student who worked (and still works) in the same building as Kohberger. Thank you for covering this with grace and empathy. It’s been really scary and difficult on campus with all the media people violating boundaries on top of feeling extremely unsafe in general because of this horrible situation. I didn’t realize until it was near me how intrusive and unethical the true crime community can be. Thank you for using your platform in such a humane and kind way
What was he like 😳
I 100% stand behind this. I am also a fellow WSU graduate student and can completely back up your feelings about the predatory media coverage. I went to UIdaho for my undergraduate degree and really feel a part of this community. It is so horrific to see what is happening in our otherwise safe town. I think this was BY FAR the most respectful and compassionate telling of such a tragic and senseless murder. Thank you Kendall ❤
😮😮 did you
Walk by him and notice anything odd?
DID YOU EVER MEET HIM!?!?!?!?
Yea, I didn't realize it either until it happened in my homestate and until I was friends of friends with one of the victims, Kaylee. I didn't know her personally but still. It was all around a scary situation for me too but probably not as much as you. Did you ever meet him?
It's so heartbreaking that such beautiful lives were lost in such cruel and brutal ways. Thank you for providing well researched information to the public. There's too much misinformation about the case being spread around at the moment. I always appreciate how you always focus on the victims and telling their stories. Not many people do that anymore unfortunately
I'm so proud of you for waiting to do a clear truthful deep dive on this, the gossip has been exhausting
I'm currently a student at the University of Idaho and I'm Coeur D' Alene where three of the victims are from. I can attest to how shocking it's been even for those of us who didn't personally know the victims. I appreciate you covering this with respect and the known facts, it's been hard seeing all these people spreading rumors. Thank you for respecting and honoring Ethan, Xana, Kaylee, and Madison ❤️
wishing you lots of love and peace from isu 🧡
No matter where you live, from now on lock all doors, even if the neighborhood strikes you as safe. Anyone can drive to and from a neighborhood unnoticed. Make your friends lock up when you visit and check doors if you have any doubt about it being locked up well.
@@gaslitworldf.melissab2897 yes pls ! 🙏
On top of the families and friends suffering, I can't fathom how those other roommates must feel. They SAW the crime scene. The survivors guilt, the horrific scene seared into their minds, on top of getting attacked online must be absolutely awful. Such a tragic case.

So sad for Maddie’s dad especially, can’t imagine losing the only child you ever had
So weird hearing you talk about my local area.. this case is still so crazy for our little towns. Thank you for covering this story.
Kaylee and Maddie were soulmates. Some soulmates come to us in partners, friends, family, and/or pets. ♥️
So true! I wish I knew a friendship so close I’d rather share a bed than sleep in my own 💕
I agree, my cousin was my soulmate and I lost her. And I haven't been the same since.. I love this comment so much! Fly high Idaho !!!
I believe it. It sounds like they had a beautiful friendship. 💖
i agree. my sisters 40 and her best friend died when they were 16 and she never ever had another best friend after that, casual friends maybe, but no one was like her best friend she lost
Yes....
my cousin (same age as me and the Idaho victims) was murdered the same day and within 20 minutes of the Idaho murders. her mom is one of the most fierce, resilient people I’ve ever met and even she is so entirely broken. it’s an unimaginable pain that I can’t even fathom as a parent. these deaths have really given me a new perspective on how fragile and unforgiving life can be. I hope that these victims can find peace and that their families can heal. ❤️🩹🙏
My heart goes out to you and your family
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Sending you and your family love and healing.
I'm so sorry 😞 I hope that y'all get justice for your cousin!
What is your cousin’s name? Have they found the murderer or could this be related?
i am so sorry for your loss honey
This case is just so horrifying and senseless and SAD for these kids and their families. They had their whole lives ahead of them. It’s just unreal.
I really appreciate you making this episode! I’ve been following this case on the news but was happy to see your video to fill some holes I missed.
I had to stop a couple times to take a breath cause it’s definitely not easy! I can’t imagine how hard it was to do all the research and make this video. Thank you! 💜
As a twin, learning that Ethan was a triplet really hit home. Multiples share some of the strongest bonds on earth, and honestly, idk how I would be able to go on w.o my twin, such a loss would be more than devastating to me.
I actually don't want twins because I think if something happens to one of them...even as early as during child birth....they will be scarred irreversibly
i believe was his only kid also
Oh I can't imagine, this wrecked me when I heard it.😭😭 That and that Maddie was an only child. All in all, horrible crime, beautiful kids, justice will be served.
A twin here as well, a permanent lump remains In my throat when I think about the pain his siblings feel, my brother is and always will be one of my best friends, I couldn’t imagine, my heart goes out to these people 😔
I have a twin brother, and I completely fell apart seeing their childhood photos. People often ask me what being a twin is like, and I always ask them, what's it like living for yourself?
I had a near-fatal accident when we were in seventh grade, and my brother witnessed me being crushed by a huge metal-framed overhanging glass backboard in our school gym. We spent Christmas 2012 in the hospital.
I almost lost him in October 2022. He was a passenger in a car that was hit by a semi. He's alive (miraculously) but getting that call at 3 am that I was going to lose the person who I have only ever lived 15 minutes without.
When Maddie’s dad spoke, I lost it. It is so cruel that these parents have to continue life without their babies.
This really breaks my heart; these young adults had so much going for them and were so incredibly loved. I see a lot of my younger self and my best friend in Kaylee and Maddie, they really had a beautiful bond. I think the only minuscule comfort I can find in this case is knowing that they at least never had to experience life without each other.
Thank you for showing that these four beautiful people were human beings and not just a new video to get as many views as possible like some other true crime youtubers,I could feel how hard this video was for you,so grateful for you and hope you're OK too xx
as heartbreaking as this case is, I was anticipating you to cover it, because you add a level of empathy and compassion that a lot of creators lack when covering these kinds of cases.
Very well said!
Yes, I really don’t like the majority of true crime CZcamsrs. It’s either just misinformation, way too many jokes, or a nonchalant manner that makes the content feel super inappropriate.
@@localshithead7430 right like their only filming for the check and you can tell Kendall does it to spread awareness and help the family
Hearing all of the parents speak about their children broke my heart. Immediate tears. But Maddie’s dad got me when he had to switch is to was.
“Not all of that age of kids are out there working all the time but she sure is- was.”
I hope the parents all find comfort with each other. These kids were obviously so loved by everyone and were all set to make a difference in the world.
I haven't been following this case at all, so this will be the first thing I've heard about it. I'm so glad you took you're time with it.
I’ve seen so many videos about this and this is the one that made me cry. Hearing the love their families have for them is amazing. My heart truly goes out to each and every one of them ❤
I love that you get into their life BEFORE the incident happen. In all your videos, you let the viewer really get to know the victims and the criminals. It gives an insight on something no one really gets into
When the father said that daughter and father relationships should be considered the 8th wonder of the world, that made me tear up. 😭
Me too omg
ಥ_ಥ true
Omg same 😭❤
Was a rough video to get through. Especially Ethan, as a twin I could never imagine loosing my sister. With the two girls who died together I cant imagine, I see where that would’ve been comforting. I’ve cried more in this video than I had others 😢
I’ve listened to a lot of true crime but this case is the first one in a while where I cried and prayed multiple times. These poor kids never deserved this.
as a 20 year old college student, this case hits me harder than almost any other case i've heard, specifically because it happened while i am the same age as them, it's not separated by time.
As a member of this community, and someone that had many connections with the victims, thank you Kendall. It’s genuinely been hard to feel safe, and I feel sad every day for the loss we’ve all experienced. Seeing their parents, and our friends grieving has been difficult. I learned after the arrest, that Brian K. lives across the street from me. I can see his apartment from my window. This has all been so close to home and impossible to deal with. Thanks for always handling things with care and grace, i love you!!!
Praying for you girl. That sounds horrible seeing his apartment.
I’m so sorry for your loss. ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. I pray for you and your community. It's a tremendous loss for the families and friends.
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss, and I hope that us Idahoans can heal from this way too close to home case.
I've watched so many true crime coverages on this case and I swear this is by far the best,very very informative and the respect you had when you delivered the information...thank you so much for giving the background stories and also giving us facts...now the wait for June is gonna kill me
Ooh by the I gave a like before I even watched 🤣🤣🤣
I've been waiting for her to do this. She is so respectful and takes so much care and time in her blogging.
Maddies dad 😭 I hope he has family and friends during all of this. I’m sure he has support from the community but you need people that are close to you during times of tragedy.
The way Maddie's dad talks about her really gets to me...the pain and the love is truly heartwrenching. I truly hope the best for each of these poor families.
This is why I love you. You always stick to the facts. I have been waiting patiently for your coverage on this case. I have been following since day 1 and am apart of the huge fb group. I'm so happy you have covered this case and I'm sure you will continue covering this case until the end. Thank u for covering this case
I watch all of your videos but this gave me nightmares. I had to stop in between to make sure I am mentally prepared to continue watching it. I can't even imagine what the family must be going through if it's this hard for all of us. One of the saddest stories and i really hope the families get justice and healing
