Police in Moscow, Idaho, are trying to gather more information about the whereabouts of students Xana Kernodle and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin before they were killed in a rental house near campus, according to a report.
The timeline of Chapin and Kernodle, both in their 20s, “seems to be one of the larger areas where we don’t have a lot of information,” Idaho State Police spokesman Aaron Snell told ABC News.
“So being able to track down what they did that night, and maybe who they contacted, maybe the routes they took home, that would be important to the investigation.”
The couple was at Chapin’s frat house, Sigma Chi, from 9 a.m. to 1:45 p.m., before returning to the Kernodle home on Nov. 13, police previously said.

Chapin, Kernodle and their roommates Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were brutally stabbed to death between 3 am and 4 am that morning.
Kaylee Goncalves’ injuries were “more brutal” than those of the other victims, NewsNation reported, citing a source.
Snell told ABC News that police did not disclose this information to Goncalves’ family, but they also did not refute it.
Steve Goncalves told Fox News Digital that the “means of harm” for his daughter and her best friend, Mogen, were different, even though the best friends were sleeping in the same bed when they were attacked. He would not elaborate.

The investigation has entered its fourth week and police have said they do not have a suspect and have not recovered the “fixed blade knife” they believe was the murder weapon.
Police also answered questions about Goncalves’ dog, Murphy, who was found in the house after the murders.

“We have not determined whether or not the dog was inside the residence during the murders,” Snell told ABC News. “What we do know is that the dog was inside when officers arrived. The dog did not appear to have any evidence.”

“Your information, whether you think it’s significant or not, could be one of the pieces of the puzzle that helps solve these murders,” Snell told the news station.
