March 9, 2023 – The 43-year-old has been struggling with drug abuse throughout her adult life and was jailed on drug charges on February 24.
She is being held at the Kootenai County Jail in Coeur d’Alene, 66 miles from where Xana and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, and two housemates, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves, were murdered on November 13, 2022.
Brian Kohberger, a PhD student in criminology at nearby Washington State University in Pullman, was arrested on December 30 and is facing a trial this year on murder charges.
Northington said that she was clean before the attack, working as a waitress and striving to make fresh inroads with her children. But her daughter’s murder triggered her relapse, she said. Her time behind bars has now forced her to go through a painstaking withdrawal, with staff providing her with nothing more than ibuprofen and Gatorade to soldier through.
Northington is confined to a cell with three other inmates on bunk beds at the facility, where she only has daytime access to a TV often airing news about the savage killings – all while she undergoes drug withdrawals.
