10 days in, no suspect, no weapon in Idaho student slayings
Associated PressMOSCOW, Idaho — Ten days after four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their rooms, police said Wednesday they still have not identified a suspect or found a murder weapon, and they continued asking for tips and surveillance video. The victims were housemates Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Post Falls, Idaho; Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho; and Kernodle’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, of Mount Vernon, Washington. Police initially called the killings “targeted” and said there was no general threat to the public, but they later walked that back, conceding they could not say there wasn’t a threat. Faculty have been asked to prepare remote learning options for those students who don’t want to return to in-person classes after the break, University of Idaho President Scott Green said.
