Sources close to the investigation told NewsNation that Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle’s bodies were first found by his best friend, who reportedly checked their pulses before speaking to a 911 dispatcher. Kernodle and Chapin’s bodies were found in her room on the second floor while Mogen and Goncalves’ bodies were found in a bedroom on the third floor of the home. Last month, a judge has issued a gag order in the case banning any law enforcement, attorneys representing survivors, witnesses or the victims’ family members from talking or writing about the case.
