Idaho Survivor Dylan Mortensen Seeks to Block Release of 2022 Case Images

Summary
Dylan Mortensen asked a Latah County judge to stay and reconsider an Oct. 20 order releasing police records, saying unblurred photos or video from the 2022 Idaho student killings could expose her identity.
Nine moves since November 2022, use of aliases and repeated harassment underpin her filing, which says reporters, online sleuths and strangers have followed her family and fueled threats and speculation about her role.
Her lawyer says Moscow officials never gave the disputed records to the judge for private review and wants the city to identify the withheld material—expected to include interviews, photographs and videos of Mortensen.
EWU Media sought the records through an Aug. 28, 2025 public-records request, and Judge Megan Marshall ordered disclosure last month; a hearing on Mortensen's challenge is set for Nov. 12.
The records fight runs alongside the still-active Bryan Kohberger case: he pleaded guilty in July 2025, later moved to withdraw that plea, and faces a Dec. 10 hearing on post-conviction relief.
