MOSCOW, Idaho — More than 100 investigators, officers and support staff have fielded about 600 tips since the murders last week of four University of Idaho students, officials said on Sunday.
As the tips pour in, each has been processed, vetted and cleared, according to the Moscow Police Department, which has five support staff members dedicated to the case.
Investigators said they've also conducted autopsies and have searched for surveillance video. They’ve asked for tips from anyone “who observed suspicious behavior.”The victims who were found dead on Nov. 13 have been identified as Ethan Chapin, 20, of Conway, Washington; Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; Xana Kernodle, 20, of Avondale, Arizona; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho.
The Moscow Police Department said it has dedicated four detectives, 24 patrol officers and five members of its support staff to the investigation. They’ve been joined by a wave of outside investigators, who’ve taken over Moscow, a college town with about 25,000 residents, since the killings were first discovered last Sunday.
"Multiple people talked with the 911 dispatcher before a Moscow Police officer arrived at the location," officials said."Officers entered the residence and found the four victims on the second and third floors."
