Murder In Moscow: The Autopsy Findings in the Murders of Madison, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan (Part 4) (8/14/26)

from The Vault: The Epstein Files · host Bobby Capucci

The autopsy reports for University of Idaho students Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin documented the extraordinary violence of the November 13, 2022 murders inside the King Road residence in Moscow. Spokane County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Veena Singh determined that all four died from multiple sharp-force injuries consistent with a large fixed-blade knife, including a weapon such as the Ka-Bar prosecutors said was used in the killings. Mogen suffered 28 stab wounds, including extensive injuries to her face, neck and upper body that damaged major blood vessels, a lung and her liver. Chapin suffered fewer wounds than the three women, but his injuries included devastating wounds to the neck and major blood vessels, including one wound reportedly measuring approximately seven inches deep. Singh concluded that all four victims experienced a high degree of pain or suffering before death, although Chapin's suffering was assessed as occurring to a lesser degree than that of the other victims.The reports provided particularly disturbing new details about Kernodle and Goncalves. Kernodle suffered numerous wounds across her head, neck, chest, abdomen, back and extremities, including injuries to her heart, lung and major blood vessels, and her autopsy was the only one that specifically identified injuries consistent with defensive wounds, supporting the conclusion that she attempted to fight off her attacker. Goncalves suffered a combination of sharp-force and blunt-force trauma that the medical examiner described as more severe in certain respects than the injuries suffered by the others; her injuries included bleeding around the brain, a fractured nose, significant facial trauma and a knocked-out tooth, as well as evidence suggesting that an object had been pressed across her mouth. Taken together, the newly disclosed autopsy findings provided a much clearer medical picture of what occurred inside the house and demonstrated that this was not simply a series of quick fatal stab wounds, but an exceptionally violent attack in which the four victims suffered extensive and, in some cases, markedly different injuries before their deaths.to contact me:[email protected]:012725+Exhibits+S-1+and+S-1+a-e+to+States+Supp+Resp+to+Rqst+for+Disc+RE+Penalty+Phase+Experts.pdf - Google Drive
