The roommate said that shortly afterward “she heard who she thought was Goncalves say something to the effect of ‘there’s someone here,'” the documents claim. But since Kernodle was on her phone on TikTok it could have been her voice.
According to the documents the roommate “looked out of her bedroom but did not see anything when she heard the comment about someone being in the house.” And “then said she heard a male voice say something to the effect of ‘it’s ok, I’m going to help you.'”
“She opened her door a second time when she heard what she thought was crying coming from Kernodle’s room.” And that’s when she saw the masked man.
The roommate did not recognize the man. And she described him as 5-foot-10 or taller, and “not very muscular, but athletically built with bushy eyebrows,” according to the documents.
She saw the man walk towards the back sliding glass door. She was “frozen” and in “shock. And after seeing him she locked herself in her room.
At about 4:17 a.m., a security camera less than 50 feet from Kernodle’s room picked up sounds of a barking dog and “distorted audio of what sounded like voices, or a whimper followed by a loud thud,” according to the documents.
