MOSCOW, Idaho – It’s been two weeks since four University of Idaho college students were stabbed to death in an off-campus rental home, and police have no suspects.
Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20, were found dead in a house a few meters from campus, hours after police said someone attacked them while they slept on November 13. All three women lived there and Chapin was visiting his girlfriend, Kernodle.
Investigators have conducted more than 150 interviews and received more than 1,000 tips on the case so far, said Aaron Snell, director of communications for idaho state police. But they are asking anyone who knows anything to come forward, even in minute detail.
“At this point, we haven’t ruled anything out,” he told Fox News Digital. “We are looking from all angles”

Chapin was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity, majoring in recreation, sports and tourism management, the University of Idaho said. His frat house is across a field about 200 yards from the crime scene.
Kernodle and Mogen were both members of the Pi Beta Phi sorority and marketing students. Goncalves, a general studies student, belonged to Alpha Phi.

Two of the victims slept on the second floor and two on the third, but police have not confirmed who was found where, or if the bedroom doors were locked after the killings.

The Latah County coroner later said all four were victims of stabbing homicide, and that their injuries were likely inflicted in their sleep. “Some” of them showed signs of fighting back, but police refused to give any further details.

Police say it was an “isolated and targeted” attack, but they have kept most details under wraps as they continue to search for their suspect.
So far, investigators have obtained more than 260 videos of community members taken the night of the murders. They scoured the surrounding area and conducted a grid search of the wooded hill behind the house. They’ve collected DNA, fingerprints and additional evidence from the crime scene. And they have extracted data from cell phone towers, in addition to other measures.

“We use any and all techniques that are available to us,” Snell said. “And we’re going to continue to investigate all potential leads.”
John Kelly, a crime profiler and psychotherapist with experience interviewing serial killers, said that due to a lack of publicly available details, it is “up in the air” as to whether the shooter was a random stalker or someone familiar with the insides of home.
But one thing is clear, he said. “Really, he really is a savage, with no concern or empathy or anything like that,” he told Fox News Digital.

“We’re looking at it from all angles,” Snell said. “Our concept is that if we start to get pigeonholed into a specific idea, we may miss out on other advice in other parts of this research.”
