DoorDash Driver to Testify in Idaho Quadruple Homicide Trial

So here’s the thing: a DoorDash driver might be the wildcard witness nobody saw coming in the Bryan Kohberger Idaho murder case. In resurfaced bodycam footage from September 2024—now circulating via YouTube and flagged by CNN—an unnamed woman in Pullman, Wash., casually mentions she’ll testify “in the big murder case, too, ’cause I’m a DoorDash driver.” When a cop presses for details, she zeroes right in: “The murder case with the college girls. I saw Bryan there.”
This footage lines up with court records that list a DoorDash driver’s initials matching hers, confirming she dropped off an order at Xana Kernodle’s apartment on the morning of Nov. 13, 2022. E! News reached out to both Kohberger’s legal team and the Pullman Police Department for comment but hasn’t heard back—so at this point, it’s all official witness hints and no rebuttal.
Meanwhile, a May Dateline NBC special dug into chilling new angles: investigators disclosed that Madison Mogen may have been the intended first victim, given the killer’s path directly to her bedroom. Ethan Chapin apparently went last. Dateline also obtained browser records showing Kohberger’s searches for “forced,” “passed out,” “drugged,” and “sleeping” porn terms before and after the murders. Those findings were pulled from evidence on his phone, now in law enforcement custody.
We can’t ignore that Kohberger pleaded not guilty in 2023, and his trial is slated for August. If the jury buys the prosecution’s case, he faces the death penalty for allegedly killing Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; and Madison Mogen, 21—University of Idaho students who were roommates off campus in Moscow, Idaho.
Backstory check: on Nov. 12, 2022, Goncalves and Mogen were at a local sports bar; Kernodle and Chapin were at his fraternity party. They all regrouped at their three-story rental by 2 a.m. Two other roommates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, were home but escaped harm after texting the missing four and spotting a masked intruder moving through the halls. Those text logs—unsealed in March 2025—paint a frantic picture as Mortensen and Funke tried to find their friends.
Legal watchers are now bracing for the DoorDash driver’s testimony: will she place Kohberger at the scene at a critical time? And how will the prosecution leverage her delivery log and her on-camera remarks? One thing’s for sure: this twist adds a fresh spin to an already haunting saga.
Anyway, that’s the deal. Do with it what you will.
