One of the housemates who were inside a residence when four University of Idaho students were killed in November is asking a judge to reject a request by the defense that she attend an upcoming hearing for the murder suspect.

The request from Bethany Funke to quash a subpoena was filed Friday in a district court in Washoe County, Nevada, where she is from, according to court documents and public records.

An affidavit filed in March by a criminal investigator supporting Kohberger's defense says Funke was in a first-floor bedroom of the apartment house during the early morning of the murders on Nov. 13. But Funke's motion to quash the subpoena says the statements in the affidavit are"without support and there is no further information or detail pertaining to the substance of this testimony, its materiality or the alleged exculpatory information of Ms. Funke or why it would be entertained at preliminary hearing."

Authorities have not said whether Kohberger knew the victims or why he would have targeted them or the house. The murder weapon, believed to be a large fixed-blade knife, has not been recovered, police in Moscow have said.
