The former roommate of the University of Idaho murder victims is speaking out about the last message she sent her friends and how she is honoring their legacy.
Ashlin Couch lived with Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen at their off-campus house on Kings Road in Moscow until May 2022 when Xana Kernodle took over her lease.
Goncalves, 21, Mogen, 21, Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in that home in November 2022.
Couch recalled the gut-wrenching moment she received an alert that there had been a homicide near her former residence and texted her friends to see if they were okay.
‘I texted like our group of friends, and I just had said, ‘Has anyone heard from Maddie?’ And I remember, like my last text message to her was like, ‘Are you okay,” Couch told KXLY.
