A new '20/20' provides a comprehensive look at the ongoing case and covers the latest details on the murder investigation.
It was a gruesome quadruple murder that rocked a college campus and kept the country on edge for weeks as investigators sought the person responsible for theEthan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.
"It was a huge weight that got lifted," Ben Mogen said. "At the same time, I knew that for the rest of my life, there was going to be someone's face that I was going to have in my head. I just think I have to be more focused on the fact that we caught someone." Alivea Goncalves said her sister and Mogen had been close since they were in the sixth grade and were like sisters. When the two started attending the University of Idaho they joined different sororities but recently moved into an off-campus house together, according to Goncalves.
"I've never met someone like Xana before ever; she opened her arms wide and let me in her life the day I met her," Ava told "20/20." "Her biggest joy in life was to be happy and to make others happy. I had so much respect for Xana, because she always made me happy, and her energy just poured out." The night before, Goncalves and Mogen went out to a local bar while Chapin and Kernodle were at the Sigma Chi house, according to investigators.
"If I couldn't have been there to hold their hands and to take that pain from them, at least they had each other. It's honestly one of the most comforting things in this," she said.According to a police affidavit, they say linked DNA found on a knife sheath found at the crime scene to Kohberger, who attended Washington State University, which was less than 10 miles away from the University of Idaho campus.
Kohberger was stopped twice by Indiana police on Dec. 15 for traffic violations, while on a cross-country drive with his father.
