agreed, but also something that does happen late at night after drinking… (not saying this is normal given the circumstances and what happened, but crying and sobbing isn’t necessarily out of the ordinary in a house full of girls) MOOI put thuds in the party noise category but that's me.
But yeah, it's definitely not a good sound to hear when in the whimpering, crying and sobbing category.
Spot on. A stranger coming or going would not be out of the realm of possibilities. Not everyone knows everything about their roommates' overnight friends. At 4:30 a.m., he could have been just a guy doing the walk of shame. Especially since he did not even attempt to harm her.
Do you remember which show this was? I'm not very familiar with her show and have only seen a couple of her reports on the ID murders.

Sources with knowledge of the University of Idaho killing investigation told NewsNation's "Banfield" that Ethan Chapin's best friend found Chapin and Xana Kernodle's bodies. The same friend spoke to the 911 dispatcher. NewsNation's Brian Entin weighs in.

The early stuff included a roommate seeing the murder dressed in black clothing and a mask and going back to bed. Further stories early on included friends coming over for plans with Ethan, or being summoned over, and finding the scene.I had read this early on here, right after the murders. I'd not heard it was a friend who checked on him, but it's not surprising based on the circumstances surrounding the calling of 911 (calling of friends first).
Exact spot bodies of four students killed in home were found is revealed
THE exact spot in which one of the University of Idaho students was found dead has been revealed – with police describing it as the “worst crime scene ever.” The bodies of Kaylee …
yes, that could pose an issue, but, hopefully, he merely took E's pulse, and backed out of the house, then calling 911. IIRC, when LE got there, they were all standing around outside. I've not heard any mention of more than one person in need of assistance, during the 911 call. This leads me to believe that they may have called out for other roommates, who did not answer, and felt they should get out of the home immediately. Of course, 911 can advise a person to stay with a victim, or they may advise them to leave the home and wait outside, especially if they felt no pulse. The time span from when the friends got there, E's pulse was checked, and the 911 call made, would be interesting to know. I don't think I've heard that stated, officially, yet. When my friend was killed, the person(s) who found them, was told to check for a pulse. There was none. 911 then asked them to try and turn my friend over, and attempt CPR. At this stage, the person who called, can be heard telling the 911 operator that, basically, it was not possible to turn them, b/c rigor had started. At that point, IIRC, they were told to wait outside of the home until LEOs and an ambulance arrived.It's all so sad.
What stood out of me was at the 2:25 mark (linked below) was that "kids came over to the home, and then 911 was called". Hopefully they didn't touch anything (likely they did) or compromised the scene at all because a bunch of kids aren't trained in crime scene protocol. I sure hope this case against BK wasn't tainted by them running around the house doing whatever a bunch of (likely) freaked out kids would do. I just really hope they backed out and left things untouched. All MOO
Yes, I'd be interested to know the specifics but I think LE is trying to hang tight to as much info as they can. I understand that, but, I would also like to know more details. Not that I think the roommate is involved, but due to such wide gaps in time, how many people, did they walk through the home, did they find the other roommates' bodies, etc... which I'm sure are details that are meant to be left out for now.
Your question must await the response of someone better qualified, I'm afraid. But at least I found a set of instructions about the sentencing phase of an Idaho death penalty case - which clearly contemplates that a jury will determine the death penalty even if the defendant has entered a plea of guilty to the charge of DP eligible murder in the first degree:
I'm glad we finally have a source on this. I've been waiting for a lot of those details to be reported so I could talk about it here. (will still tread carefully, of course).I had read this early on here, right after the murders. I'd not heard it was a friend who checked on him, but it's not surprising based on the circumstances surrounding the calling of 911 (calling of friends first).

"In August 2002, Marco Allen Chapman entered the home of Carolyn Marksberry and stabbed her and her three young children, resulting in the death of two of the children. Mr. Chapman told authorities that he “bound Ms. Marksberry with a vacuum cleaner chord and gagged her with duct tape.” --- "Mr. Chapman wrote the trial court asking to “dismiss his attorneys, waive a jury trial and sentencing, plead guilty to all charges, and be sentenced to death," --- "The court noted that a trial court is not obligated to accept plea agreements, regardless of whether the plea calls for the death penalty. In reviewing the trial court's acceptance of Mr. Chapman's plea, it upheld the death sentence because it was based on appropriateness for the crimes, and not on the defendant's wishes or plea agreement. Because of the careful scrutiny required in accepting such a plea, the court found that it is not possible for a defendant to use capital punishment to commit “suicide by court.”
Competence to Plead Guilty and Seek the Death Penalty
In Chapman v. Commonwealth , 2007 Ky. LEXIS 178 (Ky. 2007), the Supreme Court of Kentucky affirmed the decision of the Boone circuit court allowing a competent defendant to enter into a plea agreement to forgo a jury trial and sentencing and volunteer for the death penalty.

Sparks was arrested for Spurlock's murder and later indicted by a grand jury. In September 2019, he pleaded not guilty to murder. Sparks now admits to acting alone, tying Spurlock up, wrapping her in plastic bags and burying her in the yard of that Garrard County home. The details of why and how Sparks killed Spurlock have not been released.

On the off chance that BK decides to plea, without a jury trial, the sentencing for the charges will be in the hands of the judge, alone. BK has nothing, like DS, to make a plea deal with. He might get the DP off the table, with a full confession, and guilty plea, as it would benefit the state, and Latah County. By pleading guilty to his charges, it would be saving them the monetary costs of a trial, putting everyone through a very traumatic trial, and getting the case wrapped up and DS out of their county jail, and into prison for LWOP. IANAL so this is all just theory based on other cases/trials.If you plead guilty at your arraignment, there will be no need for a trial. You will receive your sentence at the judge’s discretion, and your charge could range from the minimum to the maximum amount of jail time. It is generally not recommended to plead guilty.
Criminal Arraignment: What to Expect - Felonies.org
One of the most common questions asked when it comes to the law is: “What is an arraignment?” An arraignment is not a trial. No witnesses are testifying, and there are no jurors present.felonies.org
We'll see, IMO.
This is so true and yet another reason that the surviving roommates cannot be judged, IMO. What's normal when you're in college with a bunch of roommates is very subjective.
