The amount of terror and horror Xana would have experienced is unbelievably upsetting

That poor girl. But you know what, she died a fighter and honestly a hero in my book.

The more we come to know about this case, the more horrific it gets. The killer sounds so ruthless and devilish. How can a human being inflict such horror on another human.

These kids went through pure horror. I couldn't imagine how terrified they had to have been. It takes a real monster to do this kind of evil.

I can’t even imagine the terror she felt. Seeing her boyfriend drop to the floor and then having to fight so hard for her life. It’s just so sad

So sorry for all of these kids and their families and friends. Xana all of you will be remembered not just in America but all over the world. I am in Australia and many people I know are following this awful case. We all want to see justice done. From me personally I send so much love sweetheart and I feel so proud of you for putting up a fight. So brave. Lots of love from Australia.❤❤

The bravery this girl showed .. fought for her life till the end ..

They said she was full of life…. When you’re that full of life you’re not going down without a fight…so sad these kids and their families are going through this 😞

It's amazing to see how hard that girl fought for her life... I just can't imagine what she went through. What all of them went through...very sad. I hope that POS loser gets what he deserves.

Love you Xana. Thank you for fighting so hard. IF IF IF TRUE you likely ruined Brian's night and made him leave right away - saving the lives of your remaining roommates. Going through the trauma of hearing all your friends murdered and seen your boyfriend murdered right in front of you only to realize you're trapped like a rat and have nowhere to go and you're next - the fact that this girl went ham enough to put an end to the conflict altogether is incredible and so brave and says so much about her and who she was as a person My heart literally hurts 💔💔 I wish I could swooped in and saved u 😔

Heartbreaking. How could this monster do such things to these kids? 😢 Hearing about the wounds on her hands…burst into tears thinking about the horror she felt in her final moments. Poor sweet girl. Praying you’re at peace. Justice is coming to you & your friends soon❤

I don’t think the coroner or Police wants to let everyone know the true horror of this crime.

She was so heartbroken seeing someone she loved gone and knowing she was prob going to die. This all just kills my heart.

This is heartbreaking. As a mother of a college student, this is just horrifying to think about. RIP, sweet girl.

Damn one minute you’re on tiktok eating your doordash order and the next your boyfriend gets brutally murdered in front of you and you’re next. I just can’t imagine the terror they must’ve felt omg

Can't even imagine what these poor kids went through...Xana sweetheart you fought and you fought good. RIP sweetheart 😢 💔 😞

Ashleigh, the coroner hesitated before saying “yes” when you asked her if they were found in beds. You didn’t ask if ALL of them were in beds. So by saying yes, she wasn’t lying if someone was actually on the floor. And she likely hesitated to verify if saying yes would be a lie and/or in line with what the police wanted the public’s to know at that point.

When I heard the reporter say that Xana fought back so much to the point where her fingers were almost severed off from grabbing at the knife.. I unconsciously put my hand over my mouth because it’s so shocking to hear details like these. We truly have no clue what it’s like to be in a position like that… terrifying.

Initially when this tragedy happened it was said that Ethan was in the hallway near Xana's room. They would be the last victims unfortunately. From what I understand this was a horrific crime. I really don't want to know about how bad it was. There are many videos that have already gave several accounts of what happened. My heart goes out to the victims and their parents. It's heartbreaking!

So heartbreaking RIP Xana, Ethan, Maddie and Kaylee💔

They were killed in November, not October.

I feel so bad for Xana, as someone who had a mother in the same position as hers, it’s so freeing to finally go and live your own life away from the drama, then to get brutally murdered right after getting out of that situation is so tragic. She was probably just finding her happiness and all hope gets ripped away, RIP Xana. You deserved better

If this is true, it just goes to show how incredibly brave and strong Xana was to fight against this monster. And her battle was heroic enough that she saved the lives of the two surviving roommates. 💗 The fact that these four incredible young adults with so much more to give to the world and make our world a better place had their lives so ruthlessly and heinously taken from them far too soon is beyond heartbreaking. I really hope that Xana, Ethan, Maddie, and Kaylee receive the justice that they deserve. 💞

I felt sick to my stomach just imagining what she and all of them went thru 😓.

I'm a bereaved mom of a teenager and my beautiful boy suffered catastrophic injuries, he was knocked down by a car. Yet, I can't even begin to imagine how the families of these 4 beautiful kids feel, knowing what their kids suffered 💔 sending them so much love from Ireland and I'm hoping and praying that pos is in solitary confinement for the rest of his patethic life

There was a report early on that Ethan was in the hallway. I guess we're just going to have to wait until the trial for the correct and full details of what happened.

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 75K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities

You say that this is in “direct conflict” but the arrest affidavit literally says that Xana was on the floor and Ethan was “also in in the room”. Based off that I knew right away that he was not in the bed either. In the audio played here the coroner says “yes” to victims being found in their beds but she wasn’t asked if ALL the victims were found in their beds. Also, as for Ethan being slashed, I just want to point out that in the PCA the description of Ethan’s injuries were different than the rest of the victims. Instead of saying he had visible stab wounds the PCA referred to the medical examiner and said his wounds were later determined to be caused by “sharp-force injuries”.

God those poor kids

this makes me sick. i’m so anxious to see these kids get justice

I believe Bryan targeted Madison and Kaylee. I think Ethan and Xana were woken up during the process. Ethan did what any man would do and went to check it out and upon leaving the room Ethan was met with Bryan and was probably killed very quickly. Xana on the other hand according to this information suffered. I feel so absolutely sick to my stomach hearing how she fought for her life. But I also just feel so proud of her that she was so brave to face their killer head on. Prayers to these poor students and their families.

Bless these kids and their loved ones ❤

What unimaginable bravery. I hope she clawed, and spat, and bit, and scratched him to ribbons, knowing she couldn't overpower him physically, she could overpower him legally by making sure his DNA was on her and around that house. What a little fire cracker 💔 😔

How scary seeing your boyfriend getting attacked and stabbed and killed in front of you in your room and you have no where to go can't leave the room since they are in the doorway and then to know you are going to be next and have to fight like hell to try to get away but can't get away, omg like a horror movie this is devastating God bless her and all those poor innocent kids in that house. I hope and pray their families get justice this killer needs fry.

And she didn't scream? And the silent witness heard just little noises. I call BS

Dear God. Bless them, all 4. And the parents and families.

Poor babies 😥💔

This just keeps getting sadder and sadder. 😢

She fought back and the roommate heard none of this? Something’s up with that roommate. & she didn’t call police until much much later even after seeing blood literally everywhere. Why are they not investigating her more?

I can imagine there was a lot of noise and screams if xana fought that hard. Seems like the roommates would have known there was something terrible happening. I hope the truth comes out

Incredibly sad and praying daily for the families of these beautiful kids. Can't wait until justice is served

Ethan got up to protect her-absolutely heartbreaking! 💔💔

This is so horrific.😢

Poor Xana, OMG listening to the details, the horror those poor kids went thru, I cry for these 4 Beautiful kids RIP ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Good for you Xana. Always fight.

Oh my God 🙏🙏🙏... Xana you are a HERO.. not only did you fight back, you fought back against a 6ft tall stranger, that broke into your home.. attacked and killed your bf right in front of you, then watched, in complete shock and horror knowing you were gonna to be next.. as he came at you with that large intimidating weapon 😭💔

The murders of these kids is truly devastating and awful .it's unbelievable how savagely they were attacked. The person who did this needs to be given the death sentence. I feel so sad and upset for the victims it makes me tear up , I wish that I could turn back time and save them all .I'm from England 🇬🇧 and I have followed this case closely. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to the family's and friends of the victims .

It's obvious with the long pure from the coroner she didn't want to give too much info away

Thank you for sharing this with us. It’s so sad to think what these kids went through.

Do you really think it's wise to be posting information before the jury is selected? And information from anonymous sources that aren't consistent. Why would you put this information on blast when it could damage the case?!?!

Its bittersweet to say this but I want to hear more about how hard she fought. So so strong. The world loves you, Xana And Kaylee, Ethan and Maddie

Poor kids omg 😲 rot in jail Bryan

My heart just breaks for these beautiful young kids with their whole lives ahead of them as well as their families. There is so much speculation and disagreements regarding this case but the one thing we can all agree on is that these kids and their families deserve justice for this senseless act. ❤️🙏❤️

Why wouldn’t ANYONE being stabbed to death fight back?

If Ethan was partially in the door and Xana fought hard, I find it hard to believe no one say or heard anything.

I really feel they were trying to keep some of those details private as a sort of 'things only the killer would know' type of situation...Also, If Xana fought back that hard she HAD to of made some noise..something..especially because she probably saw Ethan being mxrdered 💔

Yet the remaining surviving roomates didn’t hear screaming ? I find that hard to believe

It sickens all of us who did not even know the poor victims......imagine the pain of the people who knew them! So damn horrifying. The only punishment worse than the death sentence for this murderer is hell for eternity, which awaits him.

Xana❤ Thank you for your brave and hard fight against this monster!! Surly you exhausted him in your fight!- he had to leave- you certainly saved your 2 roommate's lives !!

All these beautiful kids had so much life left to live! It literally makes me sick to my stomach, that their life was taken so brutally by such a monster!! Continued prayers for comfort & strength to all the families! 🙏🙏🙏

Ethan was probably thinking he needed to help the other girls upstairs after hearing a strange commotion (the reason he was in the doorway) and didn’t know if the attacker was still in the house and also conflicted and scared to leave Xana alone in the room and so then being confused and hesitant without a split-second plan, he was attacked in the dark. So sad. RIP

Just heart wrenching

Kaylee and Maddy may have been sleeping but, Xana and Ethan had food delivered 6 mins before that monster went in the house. There's no way they were asleep. He probably heard Brian with Kaylee and Maddy and opened the door to see what was going on. No matter how it happened it's absolutely disturbing and utterly heartbreaking what those beautiful angels went through. They should put Brian under the jail and do to him what he did to those kids. Maybe big bubba will get a hold of him in the prison. The world would be better off without him.

Prayers for all the loved ones! Praying for full justice!

R.I.P. Xana, Ethan, Madison and Kaylee 🙏🏻💔🕊️❤️💐🤍😢

Kenodle...your the queen!!!!! X

That coroner is the same one that said none of the victims'suffered because it happened so fast. Well not not for Xana. Having her fingers nearly severed due to putting her hands up to block the knife wielding at her, says a lot. She definitely suffered, and not just physically. Imagine the terror of having to witness your boyfriend being slashed & stabbed to death right infront of your eyes and her knowing she was next?!!! Xana was truly heroic in my eyes!! She bravely stood up to the monster lurking around.

Xana exhausted him - likely saved the final two roommates.

They were killed November 13, not in October as she stated.

i would think she is... not dogging on her... but hopefully dylan clearly recognizes and is deeply grateful... because i think it's most definite now that Xana's fierce fight saved her life. that's becoming more & more apparent. the gravity of that save is so meaningful. that's not just a little thing. it's heavy stuff. she is so, so fortunate. and that alone would make Xana a hero.

I heard rumors somewhere online that one victim was found in the doorway a long time ago. Poor Xana, it seems so much worse for her. Death penalty!

I am disgusted by your questions-stab or slash! What difference does it make to you?

Happened in November, not October.

Everytime I hear about the updates in this case I get sick such a disturbing crime

This is still so horrifying to me. RIP sweet kids.

An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth is what the killer deserves (or killers). The more I learn about this case, the deeper the pain and sorrow I feel for Kaylee, Madison, Xana and Ethan. My prayers are with them and their families. I am in Europe. 🙏💔

So tragic. My deepest condolences for the families and friends of these beautiful young souls 🙏

those poor kids.. I am so so sorry for what they went through..

I bet she was giving a general answer like yes (some) were in their beds. Unfortunately bc there was 4 people it doesn’t mean it’s untrue as much as her language might have been imprecise. I think this sounds valid

That is deeply sad...the 👿 was in that house. It's so unreal and heartbreaking. What a horrible way to die...it's more and more disturbing. Those poor kids...I hope they get total justice and he gets what he deserves...as they rest in peace as they will.🙏💔

My birthday was November 12th I woke up when I heard the bad news I just couldn't stop crying and I still devastated till this day😢

If only someone would have called 911!

Absolutely horrific. Justice for Xana, Ethan, Maddie and Kaylee❤

Being parents or relatives to hear these news must hurt soo much...Lord give them Peace.

She must have been so scared Rest in peace poor girl.. 🙏

The Coroner did not contradict the facts coming out now. She omitted information. And with the first question about whether there were Stan wounds or a cut throat with any of them, you actually didn’t let her finish her answer, you may have found she might have said more if you didn’t jump in so quickly. But in truth it was early days, and I think the coroner did not want to shock anyone anymore than they already were. But she didn’t ‘change her story’. Some people were found in bed. And some people might only have had stab wounds. So no lies there, maybe you should learn to ask more specific questions.

It wasn't in October, it was November when they were murdered

I’ll never get over this

One thing about the timeline that always gets me, is the fact that Xana had ordered DoorDash and it was delivered minutes before they died. Wondering if maybe the door got left unlocked from them getting the food, OR if the killer snuck in somehow at the same time as DoorDash using that as a distraction while getting in from through the back door somehow?

You know what just made me sick. If other 2 roommates had been aware of something and locked their doors 🚪 that means that Xana couldn’t have access to another bedroom and locked herself in.

The unbelievable terror of it all. I just cannot even imagine. My brain won’t even allow for me to try. This entire case has rocked us all to our cores.

I believe this. He will get what he has coming karma will have him

Well this really solidifies my question from day one ! How in Gods name did Dylan not hear anything ???? Her story defies logic and common sense ! I’m sorry she knew what happened immediately !!!

I heard pretty early after the murders happened that Ethan was in the doorway/hallway. The roommates woke up the day and they seen him in the hallway, they ran out of the house and that's when one of them passed out of shock.

So brutally disgusting this happened to these beautiful innocent lives 🤯💔😢

Affadavit said Xana was on the floor. It did not specify for Ethan. Kaylee and Maddie were found on a bed.

that is so terrifying, rest in peace to all of the victims🥺❤

This story makes me so sad and mad. Makes you question what evil is in someone do this.

Who knows what happened until it’s officially revealed at trial at this point? I feel so bad for them.

This has been pretty clear to me since we heard D's statements. She heard "There's somebody here" (maybe just the uber eats driver for Xana?) She thought she heard kaylee playing with her dog. (This was where Bryan started. My opinion is with Maddie first which is why Kaylee had worse wounds, she had a little more time to fight) Then she heard crying. (This was Xana in the corner of her room witnessing Ethan being killed in the doorway) When asked if D was on the 2nd floor, an official said "yes, initially" So I think after D witnessed Bryan leaving (from Xana's room to the back sliding doors) she locked herself in her room & began texting the others. When only Bethany answered, D decided to run down to be with her for the rest of the night. Maybe it was one of those moments where it's dark, you're scared, & she just ran as fast as she could to and down the stairs with B. Then they're together, kinda scared but just assuming since everything was quiet & nobody else was answering that everything was fine, that guy was just someone's friend, and everyone must be asleep. They slept until like 11 because they were COLLEGE kids who were up late most likely drinking & didn't assume a quadruple homicide just happened above them. Then when morning came, everything was quiet still. They go up the stairs, look to the right and see Ethan laying in the doorway. They don't go closer bc they remember the weirdness of the night before so they call Ethan's brother to come check it out thinking he's just passed out. Then mayhem from there. Idk if it's true someone ran out and passed out and that was the unconscious person or if they were referring to Ethan. Someone said they were in so much shock all they could say was "dead"
