According to a probable cause affidavit, DM overheard someone saying, "There's someone here" after 4 a.m. She later heard what sounded like crying, and a male voice saying, "It's OK, I'm going to help you."

A security camera at the home next door picked up "distorted audio" of what investigators believe were "voices or a whimper followed by a loud thud," in addition to a dog's barking at 4:17 a.m.

DM locked her bedroom door and went to sleep after this encounter, according to the new filing. After a brief exchange of texts with her roommate, BF urged her to "run" downstairs.

According to other court filings released this week, DM also said the intruder may have been carrying a vacuum-like object. She did not recognize him at the time of the attack and did not recognize an unmasked photo of Kohberger after his arrest.

Kohberger, 30, is accused of killing four of the six people inside a home on King Road in Moscow, Idaho, around 4 a.m. Nov. 13, 2022. The fourth victim was Ethan Chapin, 20.

Police arrested Kohberger Dec. 30 of that year at his parents' house in Pennsylvania.

He faces a first-degree murder charge for each victim and a single felony burglary charge. A judge entered not guilty pleas on his behalf to all charges.

The trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 11. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
