Murders of University of Idaho Students May Not Have Been Targeted

The deaths of four University of Idaho students still remains a mystery, but police are now backtracking on whether or not this was a targeted incident. Four students were killed in an off campus house on November 13 in the middle of the night in Moscow, Idaho. The victims were Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin, both 20, and 21-year-olds Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen.

With the investigation still ongoing, police have been frantically searching the scene and surrounding areas for clues on the suspect and motive of this unruly incident. The Moscow Police Department has received more than 2,600 emails and calls with tips, and over 1,000 digital media submissions. Authorities do still believe that the attack was targeted, but are trying to determine “if the target was the residence or its occupants.”
