Source: Surviving Idaho roommate never went upstairs | Banfield

Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen were the survivors of the University of Idaho murders allegedly committed by Bryan Kohberger. A source close to the families of the Idaho victims told NewsNation that Funke was not among those who discovered the bodies. She was the only one living in the basement at the house.

I am actually glad to know she didn't see it.

[jeannemarie]

GOOD FOR HER!! She probably heard what was happening and was scared to death. Did the right thing and didn’t expose herself to the horrific scene. My heart truly goes out to this girl. And well, all of them.

[amberfoster]

Why would she. She must have been terrified. I'm glad she won't hold those awful memories. God love them all.

[viilanteshit]

Details matter, you said “Dylan saw who she said looked like Bryan Kohberger” and she hasn’t said such a thing

[roelinamackintosh]

If she investigated earlier or just phoned 911, she could have perhaps saved a life.

[rachealraney]

They probably stopped her from going upstairs who would want to see their friends dead like that

[mazie]

Does it really matter at this point who did what who went where ? Justice needs to be served.

[spiritualtruthseeker]

What is this? We are not given details as to why she didn’t go upstairs; we are just told that she didn’t. This is going to inspire more online hatred against the survivors.

[shimonkindred]

Why is this video so short they need to stop doing this.

[sludgeness]

When I was growing up, my mom used to call the National Enquirer the newspaper. Now we have the Banfield. Times haven't changed too much. Lol

[Yogagirl]

She is very lucky that she didn’t go upstairs because that image would haunt her for the rest of her life

[lin]

This isn't newsworthy, leave the poor girl alone.

[jett]

What??? This wasn’t even a whole paragraph of thought… or reporting.
DO BETTER NEWS NATION.

[Jasminerogers]

Can someone give me a good explanation as to why neither roommate checked on their “friends”?

[KSmith-nqbj]

So if Sleeping Beauty Bethany never went upstairs, what exactly was she told was going on? She wakes up and what? Does she not go to the kitchen to eat? Get Coffee? Someone opened that from door, and left it open because the neighbor saw it open in the 8am hour. Let Dylan tell it she called everyone after they stopped screaming for their lives, got no answer and went to sleep. If Hunter didn't go see the bodies until noon, what was the scenario up until then. Even this "new detail" makes no sense.

[Jasminerogers]

“Not a part of the discovery” she wasn’t part of the recovery either!! Both Dylan and this Bethany NEED to be re-examined. How they are cleared is a mystery.

[pennytrue]

Dylan probably texted her about what was going on. She I believe was the youngest one in the house. It’s probably not unusual that she either slept in or left to meet friends for brunch or something. However the affidavit said phone records between Dylan and Bethany indicated a certain time so maybe she had some fears about something and didn’t leave her room

Ethan's golf clubs were in DM's old room in the basement (1st floor) and the defense will not release them to Ethan's family, they've become part of the case now.
Something's up with the golf clubs from the 1st floor. Pure speculation of course 🤷

[motherboard]

So what? There’s many reasons why -Bethany didn’t

[mannylorenzo]

DM did not say the person walking by her in all black looked like Kohberger. She only gave a description. Media needs to stop talking about this case until VERIFIED facts are released. 🤦🏽‍♂️
