{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A shocking eyewitness account from a surviving roommate in the University of Idaho murders "changes a lot" in the case, Fox Nation’s Nancy Grace said Friday.
The surviving roommate, identified only as D.M. in the unsealed probable cause affidavit, came face-to-face with the masked killer inside the house and heard him speak.
Moscow police reported D.M. "saw a figure clad in black clothing and a mask that covered the person's mouth and nose walking towards her… The male walked past D.M. as she stood in a ‘frozen shock phase.’" He then exited through the second floor doors.
