Description
The Moscow Police Department (MPD) provided an update on the investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students Wednesday afternoon.
Investigators said they have looked into hundreds of tips, including tips that one of the victims, 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves, had a stalker, but they were unable to verify those claims.
Goncalves and three other victims, 21-year-old Madison Mogen, 20-year-old Xana Kernodle and 20-year-old Ethan Chapin, who is from Skagit County, were believed to have been stabbed to death, by a fixed-blade knife, in their sleep in the early morning hours of Nov. 13. The three female victims lived in the house, while the parents of Ethan Chapin said that he was staying over that night with Kernodle, who was his girlfriend.
The night before the killings police say Chapin and Kernodle were at a party on campus and Goncalves and Mogen were at a bar in downtown Moscow. Video also showed the two girls at what appeared to be a food truck on Saturday night. All four are believed to have arrived home around 1:45 a.m.
There were two other people living at the home who had returned home by 1 a.m. that night. They were not injured.
A 911 call came into the MPD around noon that Sunday reporting that there was an unconscious person at the house. Police said that a surviving roommate's phone was used to call 911 after finding one of the victims unconscious, believing they had passed out and were not waking up. Police say multiple people were in the house when that 911 call was made. They did not confirm who was speaking on the call, but had said none of the people present at the time of the 911 call were suspects. When police arrived they found all four victims on the second and third floors of the house. Investigators have yet to identify a suspect or recover the murder weapon.
