Police in Idaho will be working through the Thanksgiving holiday on their investigation into the killings of four University of Idaho students.
Some students left town early ahead of the holiday break and professors canceled classes last week over increasing concerns from the lack of a suspect or suspects being identified. The size of the university's security force has also been increased, according to school officials, and faculty have been asked to prepare remote learning options.
Law enforcement is working through about 1,000 tips and has conducted roughly 150 interviews to find whoever is responsible for the homicides, Wills said."No bit of information is too small and every tip will be pursued," Moscow Police Chief James Fry said Wednesday. "This is our highest priority. It will remain our highest priority. We owe that to the family," Fry said.Police on Wednesday again laid out what investigators believe to be the victims' last known locations before the attack. Two roommates who were home at the time were unharmed, and police say they do not believe the two were involved.
Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle had also arrived at the house after attending a party at Chapin's Sigma Chi fraternity house earlier that night. A fixed-blade knife may have been used in the killings, Moscow police say, and local businesses have been contacted to determine if any recent purchases have been made. No collaborating information has been provided as of Tuesday, according to Snell.As the work from law enforcement continues, families of the victims have been mourning the loss of their loved ones and hope for progress in the investigation.
