And make jokes about it as we would go to Taco Bell like always. But sadly that is not what happened and what turned out to be my worst nightmare.”Hilton's statement (Image via X/ThePerezHilton)The blogger and columnist shared a link to his article through his official handle on X (formerly Twitter).

According to ABC News, she spoke to the police the same month when the incident happened in 2022, saying that she reportedly heard Kaylee screaming and Dylan had also closed herself in a bedroom, following which she heard a “commotion.”A report by the Idaho Statesman on July 29, 2025, stated that Dylan’s family members have launched a GoFundMe page, seeking help from everyone so that Mortensen can move forward after everything that has happened. The description of the fundraiser says that Dylan has helped the authorities in the murder case involving Bryan Kohberger for more than two years.“Dylan has had to learn how to live in her new reality – forever lacking peace, security, safety and her closest friends. We know a lot of people have asked how they can help, so we created this to support Dylan in building back her life and her future - a life that will require relocation, intensive long term trauma therapy, and extra security and privacy measures”, the description reads.On the other hand, Bethany Funke opened up on the incident around three years later. According to E! News, she recalled everything that happened on that particular day, saying that she was having a toothache during the morning hours. Bethany stated that she went back to sleep after speaking to her father, who is also a dentist.Bethany Funke mentioned that she was unaware of the fact that something had happened with her roommates, adding that she would have called 911 if she had known about it. Funke mentioned that her friend contacted the authorities since she “couldn’t even get out the words” while speaking on the call.“While I was still in shock trying to process the fact that my friends were truly gone, I’ve been attacked by the public. I was grieving, numb, and unsure if what had happened was even real, and at the same time I was getting flooded with death threats and hateful messages from people who did not know me at all or know the dynamic of our friendship. Social media made it so much worse, and strangers made up stories to entertain themselves”, Bethany added.Bethany Funke said that her family members were dealing with harassment from the media, and everyone was being contacted on the phone, alongside being chased on different occasions. Funke also stated that she has to live now, despite that her friends are gone, and that things have changed for her after the incident, including that she has been unable to sleep in fear that someone is inside her house to hurt her.Meanwhile, Dylan Mortensen’s GoFundMe page aims to collect $90,000, and donations of almost $77,000 have been made so far, as of this writing.Bryan Kohberger received four life sentences on July 23, 2025.
