I doubt the frightening doubt about Idaho murders … A terrible encounter with America’s most twisted serial killer told me everything

When Karen Pyry first saw the shocking headlines about the massacre of four Idaho College students in their homes in 2022, his mind returned more than forty years ago.

In a special interview with Daily Mail, he made me think about what happened – just because it looks randomly, ‘Daily Mail in a special interview.

Just thank you two [of the students] He survived. And please give the families strength. ‘

On Sunday, January 15, 1978, at around 3 o’clock, the malicious serial killer Ted Bundy entered Chi Omega Sorority House at Florida State University in Tallahassee and attacked four students.

The victims containing Pyry were asleep in their beds unaware that the immoral killer chose them as the last prey.

Pyry was subjected to terrible injuries, including the skull fracture, and had to enter more than one surgery round.

The roommate Kathy Kleiner was seriously injured, but survived.

Two of Sorority sisters – Margaret Bowman and Lisa Levy – he died after brutally beaten with wood and drowning with pantyhose.

A fifth student was cruelly attacked by Cheryl Thomas, who lived in a house a few blocks away, but lived.

There was an incomprehensible, violent attack in one part of the people who shocked the nation and found in headlines around the world.

And 44 years later, Idaho is a man in parallel with the creepy crime, 2,500 miles in the town of Moscow.

In the early hours of Sunday, November 13, 2022, a group of Idaho University student returned to their campus homes after enjoying Saturday nights.

Most were in the rooms in bed when a killer entered King Road and killed four victims – Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.

At least some of the victims were asleep at that time, vulnerable to the attack.

All four were part of Greek life at universities.

Goncalves was a member of Alpha Phi, Kernodle and Mogen Pi Beta Phi Sisters. Kernodle’s boyfriend Chapin was part of Sigma Chi – and the young couple spent last night at a party in Frat House.

In both cases, the survivors lived to tell the tale. Idaho roommates escaped from Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke massacres.

However, there was something else that hit Pyor in a creepy manner in what he had experienced in 1978: the victims did not know their murderers.

“When I heard the case, I thought: I bet it is not someone they know, P Pryor Daily Mail says to Daily Mail.

‘I got a feeling that I had a feeling that this was someone angry at the world or who sees someone who sees someone who enters that house.’

“The number of people who were attacked and being a man and women made me think, I bet, I just see this house, who sees the girls walking, and something caught. ‘

When Bryan Kohberger was arrested and accused of murders on 30 December 2022, Pyor’s intestinal instinct seemed correct.

The defendant killer had no connection with any of the victims found in the house.

Even now, after a period of more than two years – and with the safe that broke a box office records in August – Kohberger’s potential connections to four -storey students and the alleged motivation for murders remain a mystery.

Bundy did not recognize his victims.

He hunted young women, female university students and young girls, kidnapped, raped and killed them in a terror campaign spread to at least seven states.

In 1989, he admitted at least 30 murders – after he accepted his innocence for years before his execution.

Even before the Bundy was caught – about a month after the bloody rampage Chi Omega – Pryor said that the attack was randomly and he was someone he didn’t know.

So much so that when he left the hospital to continue to recover at his family’s house, he was not afraid he could return.

Pyry, “ `I never felt after me, ” he says.

There were four girls at home and one on the street [who he attacked]. I didn’t know who he was, but I didn’t feel like a particular person. ‘

‘I felt a woman pursuit of her body’ he adds.

Although Porry probably two friends Lisa and Margaret’s murders ‘will never exceed’, he insists that ‘the survivors are not a crime’ and never let him rule that night life.

Something he hopes for Mortensen and Funke.

Pyry says he dreamed of feeling a little guilty on his reactions at these hours of destiny.

Through the court documents, it turned out that Mortensen, who was 20 years old, did not hear some disturbing sounds and a man’s voice.

When he opened the bedroom door, he saw a man dressed in the entire black and wearing a mask towards the rear door.

At the moment of panic, Mortensen and Funke sent each other a text and telephone conversation.

They also desperately searched for four friends in the house.

Nobody answered.

Approximately eight hours would pass through the terrible encounter before the 911 call was made in the afternoon – and the horror in the house appeared.

According to Goncalves’ father, the delay in the warning authorities would have made no difference in the chance of survival of the victims. Coroner said that an earlier 911 call would not save the victims stabbed many times and have suffered ‘comprehensive’ wounds.

Nevertheless, Mortensen and Funke hunted online with attacks from critics and sharp questions.

Pryar, “ I’m sure they’ve gone through bad times and probably there is guilt there, ” he says.

‘If they called 911 before, [the victims still] He shouldn’t have lived, so there shouldn’t be guilty of trying to save them. ‘

When Pyor thinks about his own experience, the rapid actions of his sisters of the female student may have a difference between life and death for him and his roommate.

“ A girl saw someone fled – it was the same thing, not a mask, she was wearing dark clothes with a lid on her head, so she showed her face… And she went up, woke up, I said, let’s walk around and see if something was wrong, ” he says.

During this search, Sorority Sisters met Pyor, who was seriously injured and managed to come across a blood -covered corridor.

He and his roommate were taken to hospital for treatment and survived.

Idaho adds the following by pointing to the case: “ There must be a reason that they do not reach or get help, don’t go to the door and hit. ‘

Pyry says for Mortensen and Funke that his heart is broken ‘and what two young women are experiencing.

I feel sorry for them. I know they lost their friends, ‘he says.

‘My heart is breaking for it.’

Two surviving roommates are expected to be lock witnesses this summer, Kohberger’s hearing.

For Pyor, who testified at Bundy’s hearing, his attacker was finally ‘closed’.

“People talk about closing and ask the victims whether they are closing to their families, and he says, ‘Good no, because our loved ones are still dead’.

“ `I do not think the meaning of the closing. I think closing, even if you don’t get the result you want, you say that I should close the book at some point and live with results. And I have to live in memory and honor.

‘So for me, his execution was my closing.’

Pyry returned to Chi Omega Sorority House and graduated from Florida State University.

In 1978, he did not once see a consultant or psychiatrist to help cope with the traumatic experience of that night.

Therefore, it has helped to talk to your friends and family about what happened.

“When I talk about it, it almost seems like you gave a sorrow, or he says.

‘Every time you talk, it’s a little easier to talk.’

Now he is happy to be happy with two mothers and grandmother who lives in Atlanta, calling for other survivors to open their experiences and seek medical and professional help if they need.

However, the most touching message to the survivors is not to allow the experience – or the person who attacks them – to have any power over their lives.

‘Remember: You control your life,’ he says.

‘My advice is to put one foot in front of the other and continue.’
