Investigation Overview
Investigators were first confused by the strange deaths, which left the little college town of 25,000 deeply shaken.
The coroner and police believe that the four students were assaulted in their sleep with a huge fixed-bladed knife between 3 and 4 in the morning and were each stabbed many times in the body.
On the bottom level, two female roommates who were still alive appeared to have slept during the horrific attack.
According to officials, the roommates assumed one of the victims on the second floor had passed out when they called friends to the residence shortly before noon.
At 11:58 a.m., a 911 call from one of the living roommates reporting an unconscious individual was answered by the police. The four murdered victims were discovered on the second and third floors by the responding cops.
Timeline of the incident
A complete timeline of the victims’ movements in the hours leading up to and following the massacre was published by the Moscow Police Department.
Around 1:40 a.m., Goncalves and Mogen walked to the Corner Club, a pub located downtown, and then they placed an order for food from the Grub Truck.
According to authorities, the woman took a “third-party” driver and arrived home around 1:56 a.m.
At 1:45 a.m., Kernodle and her boyfriend Chapin left for a party at the campus Sigma Chi house and arrived back at their King Road residence.
The attacks were “targeted,” according to the Moscow Police Department, which is collaborating with the FBI and the Idaho State Police.
Investigators concentrated on finding the occupant(s) of a white 2011–2013 Hyundai Elantra that was seen driving close to the house during the killings.
The Sigma Chi fraternity included freshmen from Mount Vernon, Washington, and Chapin. According to the school, he was majoring in recreation, sport, and tourist management.
