MOSCOW, IDAHO: Former FBI special agent Maureen O’Connell has said that progress in solving the brutal Idaho murders has slowed down due to a couple of reasons. In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death in an off-campus three-story rented home. Law enforcement is yet to identify the suspect(s) in the case. Authorities have said that the gory scene where the students were killed was the “worst they’ve ever seen."

"Finals were Friday night, so the whole town is pretty much empty," Maureen said, according to Fox News. "In order to have an in-person interview, normally the cops would go out right to their house and bring them in and talk to them. But in this particular instance, they are having to send leads to either FBI offices or to local police departments throughout the country where these kids went home for holidays."
