BOISE, Idaho (AP) 鈥� The lives of four University of Idaho students were cut short in 2022 when a masked intruder entered their rental house and stabbed them to death as they slept — a crime that shocked the nation and ended their hopes and dreams.

Madison Mogen was a marketing major who ran a social media campaign for the Greek restaurant where she worked. Kaylee Goncalves was a senior planning a post-graduation trip to Europe. Xana Kernodle was a marketing major who was the kind of person who lifted a room. And Ethan Chapin was a freshman whose fellow triplets also attended the university.

Now, the man charged with the murders, 30-year-old Bryan Kohberger, will ask a judge Wednesday to accept a plea deal that would spare him the death penalty, said Shannon Gray, an attorney for Goncalves’ family.

The students’ bodies were found stabbed to death on Nov. 13, 2022, at a rental home across the street from the university campus in Moscow, about 80 miles (130 kilometers) southeast of Spokane, Washington.

Chapin, Kernodle鈥檚 boyfriend, was there visiting on the night of the attack. All of them were friends and members of the university鈥檚 Greek system. The killings left many of their classmates and residents reeling with grief and fear.

Autopsies showed the four were all likely asleep when they were attacked. Some had defensive wounds and each was stabbed multiple times.

Here are profiles of the students:

Madison Mogen

Madison Mogen, 21, a senior, worked with Kernodle at a Greek restaurant in Moscow. She was a marketing major who ran a social media campaign for the business. She also was a member of Pi Beta Phi.

Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves grew up together in northern Idaho and were best friends.

Along with photos, Mogen collected quotes on her Instagram page.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not all sunshine and rainbows, but a good amount of it actually is,鈥� read one post.

Ben Mogen, Madison鈥檚 father, told a crowd at a 2022 vigil in Moscow that she was his only child, so 鈥渆verything she ever did was such a big deal.鈥� Talking about 鈥淢addie鈥� was his pride, Mogen said, and the two loved attending music concerts together.

鈥淲hen I would meet people ever since she was first born, and they would say, 鈥楾ell me about yourself,鈥� the first thing I would say is, 鈥業 have this daughter 鈥� here鈥檚 a picture of her, she鈥檚 on the dean鈥檚 list at college, she works hard, she has all these friends at her sorority,鈥欌�� Mogen said.

Kaylee Goncalves

Kaylee Goncalves, 21, was a senior majoring in general studies. She had joined the Alpha Phi sorority and was planning a trip to Europe the following year.

Kaylee and Madison met as sixth graders and became inseparable, Kaylee鈥檚 father, Steve Goncalves, said at the 2022 vigil.

鈥淭hey went to high school together, then they started looking at colleges, they came here together. They eventually got into the same apartment together,鈥� he said. 鈥淎nd in the end, they died together, in the same room, in the same bed.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 a shame and it hurts, but the beauty of the two always being together comforts us,鈥� he said.

Kaylee Goncalves chronicled some of her history with Mogen in an Instagram post celebrating Mogen鈥檚 21st birthday in May 2022.

鈥淚 wouldn鈥檛 have wanted anyone else to be the main character in all my childhood stories,鈥� she wrote.

Mogen replied, “love you more than life! My best friend forever and more,鈥� with a heart emoji.

Xana Kernodle

Xana Kernodle, a 20-year-old junior from Post Falls, Idaho, was studying marketing and had joined the Pi Beta Phi sorority.

Jazzmin Kernodle described her younger sister as lighthearted, saying she was the kind of person who always lifted up a room.

鈥淵ou rarely get to meet someone like Xana,鈥� her sister said. 鈥淪he was so positive, funny and was loved by everyone who met her.鈥�

For her high school graduation in 2020, Xana decorated her mortarboard with flower and butterfly cut-outs and the words, 鈥淔or The Lives That I Will Change.鈥�

Kernodle and Chapin were friends before they began dating, according to Chapin’s mother, Stacy Chapin, and Kernodle spent time with the entire Chapin family.

Ethan Chapin

Ethan Chapin, a 20-year-old freshman from Mount Vernon, Washington, was a triplet. His brother and sister also attended the university and this spring the family celebrated their graduations in a social media post. The brothers were both members of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
