MOSCOW, CALIFORNIA: Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke are the two University of Idaho students who survived the knife attack that killed four of their friends in their shared off-campus rental apartment. Young couple Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both 20, and close friends Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, both 21, were brutally murdered Nov 13.

Police said this week that Dylan and Bethany were in the modest Moscow home when it was attacked but luckily escaped the bloodshed. Autopsies of the four University of Idaho students who died in a residence near campus were performed by the Spokane County coroner. The Latah County coroner confirmed that all four students were killed with apparent stab wounds to the body. Aaron Snell, a spokesman for Idaho State Authorities, told Daily Mail that Dylan and Bethany were assisting police with their investigation, but would not elaborate on how they survived, or whether either of them called 911 later Sunday morning. He also told Daily Mail that the two are not suspects, but that the investigative team, which includes investigators from the Moscow Police Department, FBI, and Idaho State Police, is looking at all possibilities.
