The University of Idaho held a vigil at 5 p.m. Wednesday night for four students who were murdered in a nearby off-campus home earlier in November. Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were all found stabbed to death by a fixed-blade knife in a home on King Road on Sunday, Nov. 13. The three women lived in the house, while the parents of Chapin said that he was staying over that night with Kernodle, who was his girlfriend. Chapin's mother and Goncalves' and Mogen's fathers spoke at the vigil which was held at a gym on campus. Kernodle's family couldn't make it as they are preparing for her memorial service later this week. Stacy Chapin expressed her condolences to the other families impacted and spoke about how the University of Idaho felt like the right fit for Ethan and his siblings, who are triplets, to begin the next phase of their lives. She went on to say that she and the rest of Ethan's family are now turning their attention toward sharing his legacy and talking about the impact he made in his short 20 years. She said her main message was to urge all present to spend time with their loved ones. "We are eternally grateful that we spent so much time with him," Stacy Chapin said. "Make sure that you spend as much time as possible with those people, because time is precious, and it's something you can't get back." Kaylee's father, Steven Goncalves, spoke about how having her as a daughter made him see the world through her eyes.
