(NewsNation) — One of the survivors of the Idaho college murders has agreed to sit down for an interview with the defendant’s defense attorney Bryan Kohberger, according to court documents.
Bethany Funke has agreed to meet with the attorney in Reno, Nevada, where she is believed to live.
Kohberger is facing charges in the November 2022 stabbing deaths of University of Idaho students Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger, 28, was a criminal justice graduate student at nearby State University of washington.
The bodies were found on November 13 in a rental house across the street from the University of Idaho campus. The killings shocked the rural Idaho community and neighboring Pullman, Washington, where Washington State University is located.
Earlier this week, Funke argued that he should not have to testify at the preliminary hearing or for the duration of the trial.
The summons for Funke was issued on April 11. An attorney for Funke moved to quash the subpoena 10 days later, claiming it was “improperly issued” and that a hearing must be held before Funke can testify.
The preliminary hearing date for Kohberger is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. on June 26.
