>> Sandra: ONE OF THE IDAHO
VICTIMS SURVIVING ROOMMATES IS
UNDER PRESSURE TO REVEAL WHY IT
TOOK HER HOURS, SIX HOURS TO
CALL POLICE IN THE QUADRUPLE
MURDER OF HER HOUSEMATES, AND
ONE OF THEIR BOYFRIENDS.
COURT DOCUMENTS SHOW DYLAN
MORTENSON WAS IN FROZEN SHOCK
PHASE WHEN SHE CAME FACE-TO-FACE
WITH THE SUSPECTED KILLER.
OUR NEXT GUEST WAS IN A SIMILAR
SITUATION 30 YEARS AGO.
ALANNA WAS A STUDENT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO WHEN
SOMEONE BROKE IN AND ATTACKED
HER ROOMMATE.
SHE HEARD HEAVY BREATHING NEXT
DOOR, HOURS LATER SHE FOUND HER
ROOMMATE UNCONSCIOUS.
ALANNA, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
SHARING YOUR VERY DIFFICULT
STORY FOR EVERYONE.
AS PRESSURE SEEMS TO BE GROWING
ON THIS ROOMMATE TO EXPLAIN
THOSE SIX HOURS AND WHY SHE DID
NOT CALL POLICE FOR COMING
FACE-TO-FACE WITH THIS KILLER,
WHAT APPEARS TO BE A DOOR
OPENING MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE THE
KILLINGS TOOK PLACE, YOU WALKED
IN AND SAW YOUR ROOMMATE AND
DIDN’T EVEN REGISTER THE BLOOD
SURROUNDING HER AND YOUR WARNING
IS DON’T JUDGE OTHERS, YOU NEVER
KNOW HOW YOU WOULD RESPOND IN
THIS SITUATION.
>> YEAH.
THE MIND IS A POWERFUL THING,
AND WHEN YOU LIVE WITH FIVE
OTHER PEOPLE AND IT’S A VERY
PARTY ASPECT COLLEGE LIFE WHERE
IT COULD BE A FRATERNITY PRANK,
MULTIPLE PEOPLE MOVING THROUGH
THE HOUSE AT ALL TIMES, YOU WANT
TO ASSUME IT’S NOT THE WORST
CASE SCENARIO, HAS TO BE ANOTHER
REASON.
IN MY SITUATION I NEVER SAW THE
ATTACKER.
I WAS PUSHED UP THROUGH A WINDOW
THAT HE HAD ENTERED, NOT
KNOWING, AND IN MY MIND I’M
THINKING WHY DID SOMEONE LEAVE
THE SCREEN OPEN, I’M NOT
THINKING THE WORST CASE
SCENARIO, LIKE I’M SURE SHE WAS
TRYING TO PUT THE PIECES
TOGETHER AND ULTIMATELY THE NEXT
MORNING MY OTHER HOUSEMATE WHEN
SHE CAME HOME HAD SMELLED VOMIT
AND THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING
WRONG.
WE WENT IN TO CHECK, AND I SAW
NO BLOOD, A LOT OF LIQUID, I
ASSUMED THAT SHE HAD CHOKED ON
HER VOMIT AND WAS UNCONSCIOUS.
AND IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE
PARAMEDICS CAME AND I WAS
WALKING BEHIND THE PARAMEDIC IN
THE HALLWAY HE STOPPED AND
STEPPED BACKWARDS LIKE OH, MY
GOD, LOOK AT ALL THE BLOOD, AND
AS SOON AS HE SAID BLOOD LIKE
THAT THE ROOM WAS FILLED.
MATTRESS WAS THREE-QUARTERS
SOAKED IN BLOOD, SHE WAS COVERED
IN BLOOD, I DID NOT SEE IT
BEFOREHAND.
WHEN YOU ARE IN THAT HEIGHTENED
STATE OF FEAR AND SURVIVAL YOUR
MIND WILL DO WHAT IT HAS TO DO
TO PROTECT YOU.
>> Sandra: WOW.
YOU HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT
THOSE EERIE SIMILARITIES TO WHAT
HAPPENED IN IDAHO, WE TALKED TO
MARK FUHRMAN LAST HOUR AND HE
GIVES CREDIT TO THE SURVIVING
ROOMMATE.
WE MIGHT NOT HAVE THE SUSPECT IN
CUSTODY.
>> I WANT TO THANK DYLAN FOR
WHAT SHE DID, OPENED THE DOOR
NOT ONCE, NOT TWICE, BUT THREE
TIMES AND SHE SAW THE SUSPECT.
WITHOUT THAT DESCRIPTION OF THE
SUSPECT AND VERY ACCURATE
DESCRIPTION, ESPECIALLY THE
BUSHY EYEBROWS, THEY NEVER WOULD
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAKE A NEXUS
BETWEEN THE ELANTRA AND BRYAN
KOHBERGER’S PHYSICAL
DESCRIPTION.
>> I HEARD YOU SAYING
ABSOLUTELY, SHE WAS ABLE TO
DETAIL THE HEIGHT, WEIGHT, BUSHY
EYEBROWS THAT EVENTUALLY LED TO
HIS ARREST.
>> YEAH, I REALLY HOPE THAT THE
MEDIA CAN JUST BACK OFF A LITTLE
BIT FROM DYLAN AND ALLOW HER TO
HEAL, IT’S GOING TO BE A LONG
PROCESS.
>> Sandra: AND NOT MANY PEOPLE
WOULD KNOW WHAT THAT’S LIKE.
I KNOW YOU HAVE SAID ON THE
RECORD THAT YOU’VE LIVED WITH
SURVIVORS’ GUILT AND YOU CAN
ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THIS IS LIKE
FOR THAT YOUNG LADY WHO WENT
THROUGH ALL THIS THAT NIGHT AND
LOST HER FRIENDS.
>> YEAH.
I THINK I RAN FROM IT.
THIS WAS A DIFFERENT AGE, 30
YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, NO ONE ASKS
IF YOU ARE OK, IF YOU WANT
THERAPY, MY COLLEGE DID NOT GIVE
ME EXTENSIONS, IT’S A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT TIME SO I THINK, BUT
ALSO SHE HAS AGAINST HER SOCIAL
MEDIA AND PEOPLE BEING ARMCHAIR
QUARTERBACKS SAYING THIS IS WHAT
YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE.
NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THEY WOULD
HAVE DONE IN THAT SITUATION.
AND WE CAN ONLY TRY TO SURROUND
HER WITH SUPPORT AND HOPEFULLY
SHE IS PROFESSIONAL AND WITH
LOVING FAMILY AND FRIENDS TO
HELP HER GET THROUGH THIS.
IT’S NOT GOING TO BE A QUICK
HEALING.
THIS WILL BE WITH HER THE REST
OF HER LIFE.
>> Sandra: YOU WENT THROUGH A
LOT AS A YOUNG COLLEGE STUDENT,
ALANNA, THANK YOU FOR SHARING
YOUR STORY AS WE WATCH THIS OUT
OF IDAHO, ABSOLUTELY TRAGIC FOR
THESE COLLEGE STUDENTS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> ONE LAST THING TO MENTION,
WHOEVER KILLED THESE BEAUTIFUL
FOUR PEOPLE DID NOT KILL THE
LOVE THAT THEY CLEARLY EXPRESSED
IN THEIR LIFE.
SO HE FAILED, AND HE’S NOT AN
INTELLIGENT PERSON, HE’S AN
INSECURE PERSON WHO NEEDS HELP
