Recently unsealed court documents have unveiled a comprehensive forensic analysis of the tragic November 2022 killings at the University of Idaho. The records shed light on the victims’ injuries and provide new insights into the students’ last movements.

Fox News Digital has reviewed a supplemental expert disclosure, which includes evaluations from a bloodstain pattern analyst. This analyst scrutinized autopsy data, crime scene imagery, and laboratory tests to prepare testimony for the upcoming trial.

The filing outlines the extent of the injuries each victim suffered: Kaylee Goncalves endured about 38 sharp-force wounds, Madison Mogen received 28, Xana Kernodle sustained 67, and Ethan Chapin had 17. While the document does not contain the complete autopsy reports, it highlights crucial findings from them.

According to the report, all four victims were found in their bedrooms, with no evidence they left their room at 1122 Kings Road after being attacked in the early morning hours of Nov. 13, 2022.

Goncalves and Mogen were discovered together in Mogen’s third-floor bedroom, lying in bed under a comforter.

Investigators found no blood on the bottoms of their feet, indicating neither woman stood after suffering fatal injuries.

Chapin was found on the bed in Kernodle’s second-floor bedroom, partially covered by bedding, and he also showed no blood on the bottoms of his socks.

Kernodle, however, was found on the floor of her bedroom and was the only victim with evidence of movement after the attack. According to investigators, blood was present on the bottoms of her bare feet, showing she stepped in blood and moved around inside her room during the attack.

The details of the students’ slaying emerged after Bryan Kohberger was sentenced in the killings.

In July 2025, Kohberger pleaded guilty to four counts of first-degree murder as part of a plea agreement that spared him the death penalty. He was sentenced to four consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole and is incarcerated at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution.
