Many people across the United States followed the tragic stabbing deaths that occurred at the University of Idaho. At present, the investigation is still ongoing and one suspect is currently in custody. Unfortunately, four students died during the ordeal, while two others survived. Since details of the attack were released, some have criticized the surviving students for the way they reacted when things fell apart. But Alanna Zabel, the yoga teacher involved The Adam Levine Sexting Scandal – comes to his defense. In doing so, she detailed how she got involved in a dangerous situation of her own years ago.
After the quadruple homicide, Local authorities reportedly “bewildered” from the time between the incident and the time 9-1-1 was called. Authorities wonder why Dylan Mortensen, 21, and his roommate, Bethany Funke, waited hours before calling the police. Mortensen, who ultimately placed the call, also confirmed that he had seen and communicated with the suspect, who was reportedly dressed in black and wearing a mask. A local law enforcement official told the New York Post that they “don’t know if it was an intoxication issue or a fear issue.”
However, Alanna Zabel, 50, thinks none of the young women should be faulted. The yoga instructor told al dailymail.com that you can understand her “anguish” because, as a college student in 1992, she walked into her roommate’s room to find her near death and covered in blood. Zabel explained that at the time she lived with five sisters in a house near the University at Buffalo, where she was a student. In addition to finding her roommate, she also reportedly heard heavy breathing in her room, though she didn’t enter until the next day. Zabel specifically said of the situation:
Someone was stalking us and broke in one night while we were partying and drinking late. They brutally beat and raped my roommate. I found her six hours later and she almost died. I didn’t see any blood at first, even though the room was covered in it. … I called 911 to report that my roommate was unconscious and she assumed she had choked on vomit from drinking too much. so i called [her] Parents.
As mentioned, Alanna Zabel first came to national attention in connection with Adam Levine’s alleged infidelity scandal last September. Levine’s former yogi accused him of texting her saying, “I want to spend the day naked with you.” She said so too Levine (who spoke about the controversy surrounding it) treated it as “used junk”. More recently, Zabel said she still feels “guilty” about what would have happened decades ago. During his interview with the UK outlet, he also shared some other thoughts on why people shouldn’t criticize Dylan Mortensen:
For those who criticize the roommate who saw you inside the house and didn’t call the police, I completely understand, and I’m also saddened that he didn’t. But I can also say that you don’t know how you would react or react in a similar situation until you are in it.
Maddie Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, 20, are the four who died in the stabbings. Bryan Kohberger, 28, has been charged with the murders, although he has maintained his innocence. More details about Kohberger have since emerged, including the tragic irony that his sister once starred in an excruciating horror film . The whole situation was extensively analyzed by jurists such as Camille Vasquez Johnny Depp’s lawyer.
More details about the tragic killings in Idaho are likely to be released as authorities continue to investigate. Whether others like Alanna Zabel will jump into the matter with personal thoughts over time remains to be seen.
