• The only feature she distinctly remembered was his bushy eyebrows.

DM Statement:

someone ’cause it – from my mind, it’s, like, I was almost wearing these, like, blurry glasses. Like, it’s fuzzy and cloudy, but it was, like, a figure of someone wearing all black. And it was, like, they had a ski mask that was covering their forehead, and their chin, and mouth. But I could see the – I – all I remember was seeing their eyebrows. And I don’t – I don’t remember what their eyes looked like, but I remember their eyebrows. I don’t remember the color the eyebrows were. I just remember, like, bushy eyebrows. That’s all I could think about.

“I would say about 3 feet, from what I remember. Again, that could be m- m- off ‘cause I – obviously, probably still a little bit drunk. I just woke up. I don’t remember fully.”

“I know he looked at me ‘cause I could see his eyebrows. I think it – I think I just – I think I just saw one eyebrow. I don’t know w- why or how.”

D.M recounted calling and texting her roommate B.F. and she discussed with B.F. that there was someone in the house wearing all black and a ski mask. D.M. conveyed to the interviewers that the facts didn’t fully make sense to her and she didn’t know how to explain everything.

Cpt. Blaker asked what was covering his face and D.M. stated:

I don’t know…weird-looking ski mask. It wasn’t like the regular ski mask with, like, eyes and, you know, because I saw his eyebrows, and I could –I think I saw his nose and, like, this part of his face, but I don’t know.

In response and addressing whether she could see the male’s mouth, D.M. stated:

No. And I don’t remember if I saw it – like I don’t remember if I saw his nose, but I know I saw eyebrows. And I don’t remember his eyes. I just feel like I can see eyebrows, but I mean, that could be it. I mean, that would make sense why the forehead was covered and this part of his face was covered.

The investigators inquired if D.M. could provide a composite for an artist. D.M. responded:

No, I don’t’ remember what his eyes looked like. I don’t remember what his nose looked like. I just remember eyebrows. I don’t know exactly what the eyebrows looked like at all really. I just remember thinking, like, eyebrows. Yeah, bushy, but that’s all — like I don’t remember the shape. I don’t remember, like, the color. I just remember, like, bushy eyebrows. That’s the only thing I can remember.

I feel like that’s how I know he saw me ’cause I could see his eyebrow. Like, if I can see his eyebrow, he can see me.

• D.M. was interviewed by ISP Detective Victoria Gooch and MPD Captain (then Sergeant) Dustin Blaker.
• D.M. detailed her activities on November 12, 2022, until going to bed at approximately 3:20 a.m. on November 13, 2022.
• Between 4:00 a.m. and 4:20 a.m., D.M. woke up and heard an unfamiliar male voice saying, “It’s okay, I’m going to help you.”
• She saw a person wearing all black with a ski mask covering his forehead and mouth.
• She distinctly remembered bushy eyebrows.

DM Statement:

someone ’cause it – from my mind, it’s, like, I was almost wearing these, like, blurry glasses. Like, it’s fuzzy and cloudy, but it was, like, a figure of someone wearing all black. And it was, like, they had a ski mask that was covering their forehead, and their chin, and mouth. But I could see the – I – all I remember was seeing their eyebrows. And I don’t – I don’t remember what their eyes looked like, but I remember their eyebrows. I don’t remember the color the eyebrows were. I just remember, like, bushy eyebrows. That’s all I could think about.

• Cpt. Blaker asked what was covering his face and D.M. stated:

I don’t know… weird-looking ski mask. It wasn’t like the regular ski mask with, like, eyes and, you know, because I saw his eyebrows, and I could -I think I saw his nose and, like, this part of his face, but I don’t know.

• Detective Gooch asked D.M. if she knew what a balaclava was and showed her a picture. In response and addressing whether she could see the male’s mouth, D.M. stated:

No. And I don’t remember if I saw it – like I don’t remember if I saw his nose, but I know I saw eyebrows. And I don’t remember his eyes. I just feel like I can see eyebrows, but I mean, that could be it.

I mean, that would make sense why the forehead was covered and this part of his face was covered.

• The investigators inquired if D.M. could provide a composite for an artist.. D.M. responded:

No, I don’t’ remember what his eyes looked like. I don’t remember what his nose looked like. I just remember eyebrows. I don’t know exactly what the eyebrows looked like at all really. I just remember thinking, like, eyebrows.

Yeah, bushy, but that’s all — like I don’t remember the shape. I don’t remember, like, the color. I just remember, like, bushy eyebrows.

That’s the only thing I can remember.

• In the same interview On November 17, 2023, she relayed to investigators she was suffering from trauma and was unsure of what is real or not. D.M. admitted many times she was probably still intoxicated:

“I don’t’ know if I was still drunk. Probably was, I don’t’ know for sure. I was really asleep, I like- like, woke up out of nowhere,” and “I was – obviously, probably still a little bit drunk. I just woke up. I don’t remember fully.”

• Admittedly, D.M. made statements such as

“I believe I was also very drunk. I don’t know how much of this was real. Like, I don’t know if my mind was, like, doing whatever. I don’t know any of it. Like, half of the stuff, I don’t know if it’s a dream, or if it’s real. I just have no clue.”

• But the investigators told D.M. they only wanted D.M. to focus on what she knew was true – “that’s the most important.” D.M. agreed. After this, D.M. provided the same descriptions with absolutely no variance. D.M. also made it clear the eyebrows are the feature she most clearly remembered.

According to Defense Records:

• D.M. stated she was “really asleep” and possibly “very drunk” when she woke up around 4:00 a.m. Expressed uncertainty about whether what she heard and saw was real or a dream. 
  First mentioned “bushy eyebrows”, but could not recall the color or other facial features. 
• She stated she had lucid dreams of being kidnapped or chased and often fell asleep to true crime podcasts.
• When asked about the intruder’s proximity, she estimated he was about three feet away but added that her perception could be off because she was “still a little bit drunk.”

But I don’t’ remember seeing his eyes, but I feel like his eyes were there. I could just see like, an eyebrow. I feel like that’s how I know he saw me ’cause I could see his eyebrow. Like, if I can see his eyebrow, he can see me.

D.M. reiterated:

From what I remember, I think he was like just, like, walking past that little wall and going towards the kitchen. And I don’t know – like I just remember seeing an eyebrow.

D.M. was asked about Bryan Kohberger. D.M. was asked “have you seen a picture of Mr. Kohberger?” D.M. responded “Yeah, I looked him up today when I found out.” Regarding what picture she saw, she stated “I’ve seen the mugshot one with the vest thing, I think.” The interviewer asked “this Bryan Kohberger the person that you saw in this mugshot? Is that the person you saw in your house?” D.M. responded:

I have no clue. From what I remember, I just remember seeing this figure that was, like, not fat, obviously but more of like the skinnier tone build, and some mask on. I don’t know what the mask exactly was. But when I thought about it, it was just, like, covering here and here. I don’t know if it was covering his mouth, his nose, or below his mouth and nose. I just remember knowing that he was white, but I didn’t know how he was white. I just knew he was. And this knowing there’s — like I knew he had looked at me because of the bushy eyebrow. That’s all I remember.

But I have no idea what he looked like. I don’t like –when I looked at his picture, nothing came back to me at all. So that like — I don’t know. I feel like if I saw that, my mind would be like, oh, yeah, that’s him, but it just – I don’t remember at all 

Regarding D.M. telling B.F. the male had a big nose, D.M. stated:

All I remember…but I don’t remember big nose at all, like at all. That’s like – all I remember is like some bushy eyebrow in all black and some sort of mask, but it wasn’t like one of those circle ski masks. That’s all I remember

D.M. testified she opened her door and heard a man’s voice say “It’s okay, I’m going to help you. And I didn’t know who the man’s voice was. D.M. testified she opened her door again and saw: 

a figure in all black, which I believe was a person.

I knew the person was white. I don’t know how, but I just knew it. Knew it was male. I think I knew that because of the voice. The person was around my height or a few inches taller.

And then I knew his build wasn’t like scrawny, and he wasn’t fat, so I figured it was like the basketball toned, lean build.

Regarding what the person was wearing, D.M. testified

There was like, form what I think I remember, it was like a black mask, almost like a ski mask, but not – it just like covered the head, and then maybe up to the mouth, maybe more. I can’t remember if it covered just the chin, the mouth, or the nose or lower.

D.M. testified

the clothing was “all black.”

She testified

“Well, the thing I can really remember was something about a bushy eyebrow. I don’t remember seeing anything else, just something about a bushy eyebrow.”
