A Netflix documentary has surfaced new police interview footage in which Bethany Funke said Kaylee Goncalves told her she swore she saw someone staring at her outside the house before the killings that shocked Idaho.
The detail appears in The Idaho Murders: College Nightmare, which revisits the November 13, 2022 murders of four University of Idaho students and gives viewers another look at what the surviving roommates told police in the hours around the attack.
Funke’s account matters because it adds a pre-attack warning sign to a case already defined by unanswered questions. In the footage, she said Goncalves had made the comment while everyone else was gone and she was taking her dog out, a remark that now sits beside police interview and body camera material being seen by the public again.
The documentary also includes Dylan Mortensen describing what happened after the killings. She told officers she heard Goncalves go into the bathroom and sobbing, then a voice she did not recognize saying, “You’re gonna be ok. I’m gonna help you.” Mortensen said she peeked through her bedroom door and saw a strange man pass. She and Funke locked themselves inside Funke’s room and eventually called a male friend to check on the other roommates.
That is where the case’s sharpest friction remains. The surviving roommates described alarming sounds, a voice they did not know and a man they said they saw moving through the house, yet it still took eight hours to call 911. Moscow Police Chief Anthony Dahlinger said there are many reasons people may not make that call after a traumatic event: “There are so many reasons why you may not [called 911]. You’re in shock. It’s traumatic,” he said.
What investigators made of Goncalves’ reported fear that someone was staring at her is not clear from the footage alone. What is clear is that the documentary is not just rehashing a headline case; it is reopening the record with police material that shows how the night was described from inside the house, while Bryan Kohberger remains sentenced to four consecutive life terms and has petitioned to withdraw his guilty plea.
