>> weeknights, i think she was studying and -- and being a good girl. but, yeah, she would let her hair down a little bit on the weekends. >> they were at the corner club from 10:20 until about 1:00-ish in the morning. >> ethan started saturday night out with his sister. ethan was one of three triplets and they all attended u of i together. >> they were always together, and, you know, that family is so close, they're so tight-knit. >> ethan went to a party with his sister. she had her sorority party, and he was her date. >> it was called the betty's ball. just a bunch of students getting together and mingling and having a good time. >> ethan and i were both at the betties ball that night. he spent the beginning part of that night at the ball with his sister, which was part of the sorority that was hosting the formal dance. >> shortly after that, ethan then meets up with xana back at his fraternity at sigma chi.

>> they were having a great time at that party. it was totally a normal thing to see ethan and xana having a great time just hanging out with each other. they're dancing and singing. >> the university of idaho is a very greek university. and the housing where the party takes place at the sigma chi, it's a party house. if nothing had happened that night, you'd say, well, this is fun. >> we live in a world where there are cameras everywhere, so we know a lot about where kaylee and maddie were that night and at what time. >> hi! >> welcome back. >> from that point, they stopped by what's known at grub truck. >> kaylee and maddie are seen on video from the truck's livestreaming camera. >> cool. thank you. >> thank you. >> it's a food vendor truck that's parked on main street downtown. a lot of people stop by there on their way home to get a taco or a burrito or something like that and then just keep on moving.

>> and these are their last moments, and that's what makes it so poignant. all these videos i found tremendously affecting to see these last moments that'll never be relived again. >> this was just them being them, not even knowing that they're being filmed. maddie's -- i can just tell just by her body language that she was -- she was definitely feeling pretty good. >> that food truck video kills me, because just knowing that what they were about to go home to and they had no idea and they were so happy. >> kaylee and maddie get carbonara, just the sort of thing you want to have to absorb all the alcohol in a night of drinking. they catch a ride back. >> they grab the order, they go. kaylee called for a ride service because they had been drinking. >> as for ethan and xana, they leave that party at ethan's frat and head back to the house on king road.

it's a quick walk, three or four minutes. by 2:00 a.m., everyone's home. ethan and xana, kaylee and madison, and their two other roommates are all settling in for the night. >> and so everyone's in there, and yet still, this is being young, their night goes on. they're on the phone. >> kaylee started making phone calls late at night, which is not unusual for college students. she called her ex-boyfriend multiple times. >> remember, there's three stories to the house. kaylee and maddie were together in maddie's room on the third floor. kaylee's dog murphy was alone in kaylee's bedroom just down the hall. ethan was staying over that night in xana's room, which was on the second floor. one of the other roommates in the house also on the second floor, and one in a bedroom on the first floor.

>> so i think around 3:00 they probably called it, said, all right, i'll just sleep with you then, maddie. i think that they ate their pasta, and they probably got in bed together like they had so many other saturday nights. >> everything was so normal in that home on king road. nobody could have imagined it was about to become a house of horror.

when the lead sergeant goes into the house, he later told people how the high smell of blood rose up in his nostrils, and it took him back. >> whether you're a rookie cop or a seasoned cop, there is nothing that could prepare law enforcement for what they would see in this house. >> this is a brutal crime scene. these victims were not shot. they were stabbed to death. >> the brutality that occurred at the different levels of this residence, it's just unheard of. >> this was a brutal weapon. there weren't stab wounds. you know, they were like large punctures. >> but at that point in time no knife could be found. >> what was baffling to police, they say, is that it didn't appear that there was any forced entry. it doesn't appear that any of the victims had been sexually assaulted.

>> the town, and soon the whole world, comes to know that there are actually two survivors in this house. >> how is it possible that four people could be killed in one house and yet have two people in the house survive these violent attacks, live to tell the story of what happened in there? >> with a killer on the loose, you cannot be too careful. the university sends out something called a vandal alert, basically a warning to everyone in the community. >> so, they sent out a vandal alert notifying students to shelter in place, so i think a lot of people were kind of shocked and, you know, confused about what was going on. >> unfortunately, one of the victims is my very best friend, and when i got the vandal alert that there had been a homicide on campus on king road, i called her three times. she didn't answer. i texted her four times.

she didn't answer. >> just the worst news you could ever possibly imagine. you know, i just kinda went numb for about 30 minutes. >> it's just not something that you can comprehend in that moment. we were just very like shocked, like, "oh, my god." >> we were like, okay, it's an accident. let's not panic, you know? and i remember texting kaylee. seeing if she was okay. she obviously didn't ever respond, because it was not morning. >> the growing mystery and growing fear in that idaho college town, where four students were brutally murdered. >> so, this local homicide bursts onto the national scene.

>> there's frustration with police and fear in the community. >> everybody knows young people that go to college. this could be anybody's kid at any school in the entire country. >> at the moment the police are saying very little. >> have they shared any of that information with you? >> no, they really haven't shared too much with me. i -- i've had very general questions to them, and they -- got their cards close to their vest. they're not sharing much of anything. >> this horrible crime has affected all of us, the families, the university of idaho. >> police hold a press conference, and this is the first time they release information to the public about these heinous crimes, but the information they release is vague and limited. >> that individual is still out there. we cannot say that there is no threat to the community and as we have said please stay vigilant. >> people in the community were scared. >> word is starting to spread. authorities have no suspect. they've released very little information. i got to moscow as quickly as i could.

and people were in shock, but the fear was palpable. >> just like everybody else in town, i was -- it's kind of embarrassing to say, but i started locking my door. >> a lot of the students on campus, we all went home yesterday or today, just because we don't really feel safe. >> how could you convince people that they are safe? >> that's the trick, you cant. >> and among all that worry, people are asking questions, one of which is, "why did it take so long for that 911 call to come in?" >> you know, we don't know why that call came in at noon and not in the middle of the night. wouldn't we love for that to have happened? yes. >> i really feel for the victims' families. it seems like they're unable to grieve because they just -- they have no closure. they don't know who could've done this. >> the motivating factors of this person were pain and fear,

and that was one thing i could control is to not grant that satisfaction. this individual doesn't get to see how he hurt me. >> when you have somebody this evil, it's going to take some serious force to hunt this guy down. you either get him off the street or you're going to have another family that has to go through this. >> initially, they didn't think it would be difficult to solve. >> they're speculating. >> the suspect had gotten away without leaving a trail of blood. >> they had no idea where this investigation would ultimately lead. >> who could have done this? >> and then, a lead. something that drives the case in a whole new direction.

>> today we're here to honor the life and legacy of our son and brother, ethan chapin. one of the most incredible people you'll ever know. >> the police turn to the public and the other students several times, asking for help. >> we ask anyone with any information related to what happened to get that information to us. even if you don't believe it is relevant. >> now the chief has asked for help. so, there's a gas station not far from the house where the murders took place, and one of the attendants at the gas station takes it upon herself to start reviewing old videos. she finds just at the time the murders possibly occurred, she finds a white car zipping down the road, and she sends this into the police. >> and then on december 7th,

police announced that they're looking for a 2011 to a 2013 white hyundai elantra. >> we have information of a white vehicle that was in the area during the time frame of the homicide. we are just wanting to talk to the individuals who were in that vehicle. >> they're trying to pull any surveillance footage from people's cameras, doorbells, whatever they could find. >> they go to a local apartment complex, and they get more video footage. and lo and behold, between 4:00 to 4:25 a.m., and this white car is seen on the street just at that time. this could be the person who's getting away, because there's no other reason really for that car to be in this area at this time of night and to be speeding like that. >> the hyundai elantra was great news. so now police are focusing on a specific car. at the same time, that's a common car. there are what, 22,000 that they have to look at? it's still a long ways away from buttoning up the case.

>> the search to track down that car has no limits. >> for a while, people were thinking it was this abandoned car in eugene. >> and it is just the wrong car. it has no ties to this case at all. the mood suddenly turns to despair again. >> 16,000 tips, over 250 interviews, and still no murder weapon, no suspects. still searching for the owner of the 2011 to 2013 white hyundai elantra. >> days and weeks have passed. and it appears there's been very little progress made into the investigation into this quadruple homicide. people are starting to openly question, will this killer ever be caught? >> it is disconcerting that there is somebody out there who's done such a horrible thing and they haven't been caught. >> ever since this happened, i've had this sensation of like, somebody's watching me, somebody could be after me. >> it's ludicrous that they have absolutely nothing.

nothing. >> we need to find this person or persons now. >> with the lack of information coming from police, so-called cybersleuths on the internet began making claims that they d. >> everyone can play detective. everyone can go online, and everyone now can put together a theory. it becomes not just slanderous, but now becomes something much more vindictive. >> these people with these platforms hurling baseless accusations at members of the community. >> kaylee had recently broken up with her long-term boyfriend. cybersleuths not only falsely accused him of being involved in this horrifying murder, but they also revealed details about his private life. >> kaylee's family is firmly standing behind that boyfriend. >> i know for an absolute fact that he is not a suspect. he is not suspicious. he is 100% innocent in this.

>> we have a university of idaho professor who's having to sue a tiktoker out of texas because this person is continually blaming her as being involved with the homicides. >> police have publicly cleared both the ex-boyfriend and the professor of any involvement in this case. >> the holidays come and go. the new year is approaching, and there's no resolution. the public and the victims' families at this point have more question than answers. >> still no suspect, no motive, but they are planning to work through the holiday to get this killer off the streets. >> we do have a lot of information, and we're not releasing specific details because we do not want to compromise this investigation. >> it was really hard not knowing everything that was going on with the investigation, but i never lost faith that -- that someone would get caught. >> then seemingly out of thin

air, just days after christmas, a miracle. >> the police were telling me things maybe a day before the public would know them. and he said, ben, this is the day that we've been waiting for. >> the arrest of a 28-year-old man in pennsylvania in connection with the brutal murders of four university of idaho students. >> i started cursing up a storm. i saw his mugshot and just about fell on the floor. >> those who knew the alleged murderer left stunned by his arrest. ay, well that too. so, we switched to bargain detergent, but we ended up using three times as much and the clothes still weren't as clean as with tide. so we're back to tide. they're cuter in clean clothes. mhm. they are. thanks honey. you suck at folding. oh, i know. do 3x the laundry and get a tide clean. it's got to be tide.

maybe they'll never find the person or the people who did this. we knew investigators were working on it, but beyond that, all we could do was hope for closure. >> just before new year's eve, the police have finally broken their silence. there's news, and it's big. >> the big story on action news tonight is a major break in the murder of four idaho college students. >> the arrest of a 28-year-old man in connection with the brutal murders of four university of idaho students stabbed to death in their beds more than a month ago. >> at about 2:00 a.m. on december 30th, 2,500 miles away from the scene of the murder, s.w.a.t. teams are breaking into a house in eastern pennsylvania to make an arrest. >> a break in the case that has gripped this nation -- police arresting a suspect, phd student bryan kohberger. >> he's facing four counts of first-degree murder and one count of felony burglary.

>> this was finally proof to the families that investigators had been working the entire time on this. >> this was a big step forward in hopefully the beginning of healing for a lot of people in this community, the university, the families, and bringing justice for those victims. >> i never lost faith that somebody would be caught. i just was definitely worried about how long it was going to take. >> i mean, it was a huge weight that got lifted, but at the same time, i knew that for the rest of my life, there was going to be someone's face that i was going to have in my head. but i think i just have to be more focused on the fact that we caught someone. >> to find out it was our neighbor, it was, like, very horrific. >> those who knew the alleged murderer left stunned by his arrest. >> bryan kohberger was one of my regulars. i've been cutting his hair since july. and the first time i was ever

contacted by bryan was through voicemail. >> hi, my name is bryan. would you be able to give me a haircut tomorrow by any chance? >> my last appointment with him was december 2nd at 1:45 p.m. it's crazy to find out i interacted with this person. i touched this person's hair. i made this person look and feel good about themselves. >> i saw his mugshot and just about fell on the floor. i was just questioning everything. and i hopped on tiktok and made a video. i used to be friends with bryan kohberger. i am just in absolute shock right now. >> after bryan kohberger is arrested and in custody in pennsylvania, everybody wants to know -- who is this guy? >> bryan kohberger is a 28-year-old ph.d student. he grew up in eastern pennsylvania. he has two sisters. >> his father worked as a

maintenance worker, and his mom was in the school system. >> as soon as they said that he was arrested in monroe county, i realized that he would have had to have gone to my high school. >> kohberger attended pleasant valley high school in his home state of pennsylvania. now, looking at his yearbook photos, you can see for a time he's considerably heavier set. >> bryan was an overweight kid growing up. people would make fun of him. >> he's right there, and you can see he -- he is a lot heavier there. >> mm-hmm. >> then we see him now. and there's his name. >> yep. >> bryan kohberger. >> my interaction with him was never one-on-one or direct. it was always at a party or whatever, and his demeanor at these places was always more or less withdrawn. >> i did reconnect with him very, very briefly in 2017 at my friend's wedding. he was kind of not very social. he kind of kept to himself. i just told him how proud i was of him because he was going to school for criminal justice. >> a fascinating twist in this

case is that bryan kohberger is a ph.d student in criminology. >> bryan kohberger attended desales university, and he graduated with a bachelors degree in 2020. and then in 2022, as seen in this video of his commencement, he graduated with a master's degree in criminal justice. >> when bryan kohberger was studying at desales university, he conducted a reddit survey for an academic research project during which he asked people for their psychology during the commission of a crime. so, one of the specific questions that bryan kohberger asked in the survey was the following. quote, before making your move, how did you approach the victim or target? please detail what you were thinking and feeling. it raises the very disturbing possibility that bryan kohberger did this because he wanted to see and feel what it was like to kill people. this is something i guarantee law enforcement and the prosecutors involved in this case are spending a lot of time on right now.

>> bryan kohberger travels to pullman, washington, in the summer of 2022 to start working towards his ph.d at washington state, where he continues his studies in criminology and ends up being a teacher's assistant for some of the professors. >> once the name did come out, i think it was honestly a big shock for the whole wsu community and everyone here. when i first saw his picture and his name, it took me a second to realize who it was. i was like, oh, that was my t.a. >> he was the t.a. for my criminal justice 420 class, which was criminal procedures. >> bryan kohberger was pretty quiet. he didn't really talk too much. he kind of didn't really look at us directly and just seemed really kind of awkward. >> seeing that he had been arrested on suspicion was definitely shocking. >> he did leave one longer comment on my final paper, wishing me good luck in my career in law enforcement. with the hindsight of the crimes that he's been alleged of, it's definitely eerie knowing that he was wishing me good luck in law enforcement.

we received an email from the chancellor on our campus saying that he was now a former ph.d student here at wsu. >> there's been a lot of talk about him studying criminology. but if he's the guy and the authorities are right, he wasn't actually a very good criminal at all. >> at this point, he has been injected into the center of what will be the largest case in recent memory in this country. >> now that prime suspect bryan kohberger is in custody, everybody wants to know -- how did police track him to pennsylvania? and what a story that is. story. after years on the battlefield and multiple concussions, migraine attacks followed me home. it got so bad, that i curled up in a dark closet to block everything out ...even my kids. that was the day i asked for nurtec. nurtec is the only medication that can treat and prevent my migraine attacks, all in one.

this cell phone data shows at 2:47 a.m., bryan's phone is no longer at his home, and then suddenly stops reporting information to the tower. >> which means it's either in airplane mode, it is off the grid, or it has been turned off. >> almost exactly two hours later, at 4:48 a.m., the phone again registers back on the grid and appears to be moving away from moscow, idaho to pullman, washington. according to the affidavit, less than four hours later that cell phone is on the move again. and between 9:12 and 9:21 a.m., it appears to return to the area of the king road residence before the police are there, which is absolutely bone-chilling. >> the way that the authorities were able to connect the car to the cell phone records to the crime scene back to bryan kohberger, it's a very powerful affidavit.

>> the affidavit essentially lays out what we call critical mass. where eventually all of the clues start stacking up. the video sune pin physical description, all of it starts to come together. but authorities are about to reveal a detail hiding in plain sight that seems to connect bryan kohberger directly to this murder scene. moderate to severe eczema still disrupts my skin. despite treatment it disrupts my skin with itch. it disrupts my skin with rash. but now, i can disrupt eczema with rinvoq. rinvoq is not a steroid, topical, or injection. it's one pill, once a day, that's effective without topical steroids. many taking rinvoq saw clear or almost-clear skin while some saw up to 100% clear skin. plus, they felt fast itch relief some as early as 2 days. that's rinvoq relief.

the idaho state police crime lab team and forensics team have been in and out of the crime scene. >> the fbi is joining the manhunt for the killer as investigators return to the crime scene looking for any new evidence that can shed light on the mysterious killings. >> in crime scene investigation, one of the most important things that they're looking for is dna. was there any dna left behind from that perpetrator? and when there has been an incredibly violent, intimate crime like this, it's virtually impossible not to leave dna behind. what they're looking for can vary. it could be blood, semen, saliva, or even a single hair. it could be touch dna, just a few skin cells. and it can be just a tiny amoun.

>> one of the challenges with this house is that a lot of people lived in the house and a lot of people were in and out, friends visiting. so it's like a soup of dna. >> but remember that tan leather knife sheath that had been left behind in the bedroom? that would be a huge clue for investigators. >> so obviously, glove-wearing csi people are picking this sheath up. they're preserving it so as not to damage or destroy any potential dna. they enclose it, it gets sent to a crime lab where they will do everything in their power to connect it to a killer. >> they would have swabbed different parts of it, including that button. and on that button, they found a single source male dna sample. that's really important, because that ties it back to just that one male.

>> if they run it through codis, which is the big database of criminal dna, and there is no match, that tells them that the killer is likely not a previous offender. investigators then have the option to upload the suspect's dna profile to a public database and see if they can get a hit on a relative. >> they may have been performing parallel investigations where they started the investigative genetic genealogy very early. they would've gotten their match list and started building trees. you're looking for common ancestors in those trees so you can piece back together the tree of this unknown perpetrator. >> but investigators in idaho already had a head start on who their suspect was because of that white 2015 hyundai elantra, and that was bryan kohberger. >> according to the affidavit,

the cops have a name of a suspect. they have a car. and they've tracked the suspect and his dad back to their home in pennsylvania, and they're under surveillance. the next step is to find a way to match the dna that they have in their possession. >> police now know that bryan is back home in pennsylvania with his family for the christmas break. so, the fbi and the other authorities get a search warrant to grab the family trash bag. >> legally, you have abandoned your trash or your dna when you throw it away, and most states allow for your trash to be picked up by law enforcement and searched. >> they're looking for items in the trash bag that can be swabbed for dna. and those items, like cups, tissues, anything that your mouth would have touched like a

soda can, a pop bottle, those items are then sent back to the state lab in idaho for analysis. >> the trash is processed, and boom, there is a match. the dna on the sheath matches dna found in the family trash. >> they were able to confirm that the dna from the trash was very likely from the father of the individual who left the dna behind at the crime scene. >> the match to the dad is a home run for investigators, because he shares 50% of the suspect's dna, which means this is a 99.9998% chance that the dna found on that knife sheath belongs to bryan kohberger. >> so you add all this great circumstantial evidence, which is very powerful, to this

incredible dna statistic, and that dna is the smoking gun. >> this gives police, as seen in the probable cause affidavit, everything they need to get in and get this guy in cuffs. once they get bryan in custody, they do the ol' cheek swab, taken directly from the primary suspect, and that definitively tells the police they've got their guy. >> at that point, all the rest of the dna analysis and investigation becomes irrelevant. what's important is getting that exact match. being able to say, "the chances that this individual is the one that left their dna behind at the crime scene are one in, say, 300 trillion." >> and that's an astronomical probability. so, how could bryan kohberger's attorneys mount a defense against those odds? dancing is everything.

even after bryan kohberger's dad is seen, in images captured by dailymail.com, picking up the pieces after that s.w.a.t. team raid on the family home in pennsylvania, university of idaho students are bracing themselves to return to campus. >> it was definitely a decision coming back to moscow rather than in past years. i know i was like, it's going to be hard no matter what, and it's going to be just overwhelming.

>> even with a suspect behind bars, there's a new sense that life on campus will never be the same. >> there's a little sense of relief now that they have a person in custody, but i'm still locking my bedroom door, which is something i've never done in the past. >> yesterday's status hearing in this idaho courthouse was requested by bryan kohberger's public defender, anne taylor. and given the sheer volume of evidence and the complexity of this case, it's no surprise she told the judge she needs more time to prepare the defense. >> we are going to ask the court to set the preliminary hearing out into june. >> mr. kohberger, have you had enough time to speak with ms. taylor about your right to waive your right to a speedy preliminary hearing? >> yes. >> images from the hearing show kohberger has a number of cuts on his face. the sheriff says they were from shaving.

abc can also report that there is extra security watching kohberger at all times. >> the judge has imposed a gag order that prohibits lawyers or investigators from publicizing any details about this case. >> you're balancing the rights mr. kohberger and the public's right to know. and that's a delicate balance, but one that has to be maintained in pursuing a fair trial. >> despite what authorities say is convincing evidence of guilt, a resolution in this case is likely years away. >> the defense is going to pump the brakes in a huge way. what they're going to want to do is create as much distance as possible between the horror of this case and the ultimate presentation of evidence in front of the jury. >> there is a mountain of information and evidence that has to be presented and developed, provided to the defense, tested by them. this is a long road to justice.

>> i think that what we're going to see next is there will be a not guilty plea entered by bryan kohberger and his defense team, at which point the discovery process begins. >> i fully expect mr. kohberger to continue to plead not guilty. i think a trial is extremely likely in this case. >> they will either take it to a grand jury for indictment, or they'll do what's called a preliminary hearing in order to establish probable cause that bryan kohberger more likely than not committed these crimes. >> and yet there are a number of questions in this case that may have a direct impact on whether kohberger is found guilty or innocent of the charges against him. >> the burning question for me is, why? why kill these four students? and why them? what was it about them? is there a connection between bryan kohberger and these four students? >> there's a shoe print that hasn't figured into the case as of yet. but will that be more important down the road? we'll see.

>> we also don't know what happened to the murder weapon. where is it? can it be found? >> motive is a question that everybody has in a case like this. but it's important to remember that motive is not actually an element of the crime. oftentimes we don't know what motivated a human being to take the life of another human being, and we don't have to prove it as prosecutors. >> there are so many questions about this case, and perhaps one of the biggest points that really does not make sense to people is, how is it possible that there could be a survivor who saw the killer, face-to-face. how is it possible? >> the real question for me is going to be, what's his defense? i would expect that as the prosecution tries to put all the pieces together, the defense

will try and attack each piece separately. attack the cell phone data, attack the car evidence, attack the dna evidence. >> the significant issue with the sheath dna is that it's transfer or touch dna. that dna can remain on there for a significant period of time. >> what they will likely argue is that it could have been transferred, it could have been on there for a long period of time, that perhaps bryan gave that knife sheath away and someone else could have transported that to the crime scene. >> if it's not bryan kohberger, who is it? >> bryan specifically said that he's eager to be exonerated, implicitly meaning that he's innocent of the crime. after reading the affidavit of probable cause, i do believe there are obviously holes in the prosecution case at this time. >> in response to this tragedy, the kohberger family has released this statement. >> first and foremost we care

deeply for the four families who have lost their precious children. we will continue to let the legal process unfold, and as a family we will love and support our son and brother. >> while much of the attention has been focused on bryan kohberger and the allegations against him, friends and family of the victims are seeking special ways to honor those taken from them. >> we felt like that was a really, really significant opportunity for us to honor our friend. we used to struggle with greasy messes. now we just freak, wipe and we're done! with mr. clean clean freak conquering messes is that easy. nasty soap scum? we just freak, wipe, done.

this is a this is a roll-up-your-sleeves community. we were really raised to help each other out. the tulips are iconic for skagit valley. because of our our geography and our climate, we can grow amazing tulips. >> ethan was on our parking lot crew, and he was also out in the field. he was so great at his job because he's a big guy, always smiling. i mean, i never saw him not smiling. >> ethan was a stand-up guy. just such a genuine person, there was not an ounce of bad in the guy. he was one in a million. >> he's one of those people that's feel like you've known him forever. >> and then we kind of came up with the idea that we could name a tulip after him. so we made a mix and named it ethan's smile. >> i immediately thought of him, standing, smiling in a tulip field.

>> we felt like that was a really significant opportunity for us to honor our friend. >> ethan chapin's family sent a statement to "20/20" saying, "it's incredible to see the new scholarships organized by the university of idaho and the sigma chi fraternity in ethan's name. in addition, his love of basketball inspired a new nonprofit. these actions are a testament to his incredible character, and will continue to honor ethan's legacy now and in the future." >> ethan and xana really painted the perfect picture for what a relationship should look like. >> xana and ethan, they were in the public's eyes and my eyes, almost a perfect match. >> i've never met someone like xana before. usually people keep their guard up when you first meet someone, and xana, she never batted an eye. it was, all right, you're in my life, and you're going to see the good, the bad, the ugly. >> xana had her most fun when

she was surrounded by her friends or family. that's where she shined the brightest. just one of the best people to be around. >> with xana came ethan, with kaylee came maddie. >> that was her sidekick. best friend. ride or die. >> i wouldn't even call them best friends, because i have best friends, and i have never had a relationship like theirs. like, they were sisters. >> they were the friends that everybody aspired to be. >> they were definitely put on the planet to be together and to be best friends. >> something special about kaylee is that she was really, really, really loyal. anything would happen, kaylee was a call away. and she was very, very protective of those that she loved. >> maddie she was so much fun to be around. she was so many people's best friend. >> maddie's father said that their family always bonded over music, and from now on there is one song that will always make

him think of maddie. >> "angel" by sarah mclachlan. the lyrics just really are touching and that's what reminds me. ♪ in the arms of the angel ♪ ♪ fly away from here ♪ >> a lot of dads refer to their little girls as their angels, but maddie actually had angel wings tattooed on her arm. >> and this is a picture of her first tattoo. she got these little angel wings. i'm even gonna go in with my sister and we're gonna get that tattoo together, i think, next week. and it'll be my first tattoo also. ♪ in the arms of the angel ♪ >> these were four amazing people that just had the biggest heart, loved those around them, loved each other.
