MOSCOW, IDAHO: The families and friends of the four University of Idaho murder victims are in mourning, and police have been struggling to zero in on a suspect or a murder weapon for over 30 days. Things appear to have reached a breaking point as some friends and family members have also received death threats, according to reports.
The information was made public by Moscow Police Captain Roger Lanier on Tuesday, December 13, one month after the murders of best friends Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, both 21 years old, and Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, who were all stabbed to death with a Rambo-style knife while they slept in an off-campus house on November 13. Captain Lanier stated the escalating rumors surrounding the killings have affected the victims' families and close friends, revealing some "have had death threats." Lanier's statements came in reaction to social media investigators who have been hurling criticism at the force.
