What Did Idaho Survivor Bethany Funke Finally Reveal At Bryan Kohberger’s Sentencing That Left The Entire Courtroom In UTTER SHOCK? SO UTTERLY TERRIFYING!

Bethany Funke, the University of Idaho student whose roommates were murdered by Bryan Kohberger, broke her silence for the first time at his sentencing hearing.

She had her friend Emily Alandt deliver her victim impact statement at the hearing, discussing what it was like to live through “the worst day of my life.”

“I was scared the person who did this would come for me next,” Funke wrote in her statement, which her friend read through tears.

Funke went on to say she had “not slept through a single night since this happened” and that she lives in constant fear that she may lose someone she loves.

“The fear never really leaves,” Funke said.

She then said that despite all that, she has to keep living for her roommates.

“Every day I remind myself to live for them,” Funke said of her four roommates.

On July 2, Kohberger appeared in a Boise courtroom where he confessed to killing those four students: Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20.

Funke had previously said she did not wish to publicly appear at Kohberger’s trial and tried to fight a subpoeana from his defense team.

She and the other surviving roommate, Dylan Mortensen, both delivered victim impact statements at the hearing in Boise.

It marked the first time the two have spoken publicly about the murders, for which Kohberger is expected top be sentenced to four life terms without the possibility of parole.

Funke slept through the massacre, waking up after the stabbings when she received a text from Mortensen.

Both Mortensen and Funke discussed how “freaked out” they were about the lack of response from their other roommates, but as Funke said at the hearing, she assumed they would go upstairs the next day and be mocked by their roommates for being “scaredy cats.”

Mortensen eventually joined Funke in her bedroom that night and the two locked themselves in the room and spent the next eight hours texting their roommates.

It was not until around noon that they eventually went upstairs to discover their roommates were dead.

The identities of both roommates had remained a secret until the hearing today, with the pair simply referred to as D.M. and B.F. in court filings.
