Ethan Chapin was one of four students at the University of Idaho who were murdered at an off-campus home in November 2022. His girlfriend, Xana Kernodle, was also killed that night – along with friends Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.

The Chapin family had previously said they were content with the plea deal prosecutors made with Bryan Kohberger.

Bryan Kohberger faced emotional statements from victims' families in Boise courtroom, including scathing rebukes and one offer of forgiveness before receiving life sentences.

The newly released police documents revealed the horrifying extent of the crimes and an unnerving sighting by one of the victims' surviving roommates in the days leading up to the killings. They also indicate that at least one of the victims fought back intensely.

The parents of slain University of Idaho student Ethan Chapin say they’ve found “big-time closure” in their son’s death — despite his killer, Bryan Kohberger, being offered a controversial plea deal.
