Idaho University murders: Lack of clues about killings trigger fear, unrest

Even after a manhunt for the culprits of the University of Idaho killings, in place for more than a week, there have been no clues or arrests yet. Idaho State Police Director Col. Kedrick Wills said in a recent press conference referring to the traumatized university community that the department, that they too, wanted the answers like the public, stated The Guardian report.

In the early hours of November 13, four students of the University of Idaho were stabbed and killed in the remote college town of Moscow, Idaho. The four students - Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle, and Madison Mogen, were brutally murdered at an off-campus home on King Road. The student's home was located near fraternity houses.




However, even after continuous efforts, the motive or identity of the killers was not confirmed. Grim and terrifying details of the slaying of the four students have emerged, though. Per investigation reports, all four victims returned to the King Road house around 1.40 am.

Mogen and Goncalves returned from a downtown bar, having pasta from a food truck, while Chapin and Kernodle returned from a party at a fraternity house. The Guardian quoted the authorities confirming that all four murders took place between 3-4 am.

Several rumors started doing rounds about the possible motive behind the gruesome killings. Chapin’s mother, Stacey Chapin, confirmed to the media that neither of the victims was on drugs nor were they involved in “some passion things.” She urged people not to make any assumptions about the kids.
