Idaho students were stabbed to death in their beds

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Four University of Idaho students who were found dead in a rental house near campus were stabbed to death in their beds and likely were asleep when they were attacked, a county coroner told a cable news channel.

Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt also told NewsNation on Thursday that each victim suffered multiple stab wounds from a “pretty large knife.”

“It has to be somebody pretty angry in order to stab four people to death,” Mabbutt told NewsNation. The victims were stabbed in the chest and upper body, the coroner said.

Efforts by The Associated Press to reach Mabbutt by telephone Friday were diverted to an Idaho State Police spokesperson, who did not immediately return messages.

In an evening statement, Moscow Police Department confirmed the coroner reported the victims were likely asleep and that some of the victims had defensive wounds. Police additionally said there were no signs of sexual assault.

Comments from Mabbutt and the police expanded on autopsy reports released Thursday, which concluded the four students were murdered by being stabbed to death.

Officers have not identified a suspect or found a weapon.

The killings have shaken Moscow, an Idaho Panhandle town of 25,000 residents that last saw a homicide about five years ago. The leafy college town is about 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Spokane, Washington.

All four victims were members of fraternities and sororities: seniors Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, Idaho; junior Xana Kernodle, 20, of Post Falls, Idaho; and freshman Ethan Chapin, 20, of Mount Vernon, Washington. The women were roommates. The bodies were found around noon Sunday.

Moscow police released a map Friday and later its statement with a rough timeline of events leading up to the deaths.

the police are only minutes away

So true. Founders guaranteed our right before hearing from Democrats. Glad they didn’t wait.

It takes an expert to kill one person quickly with a knife. Much more expert to kill four. Knives interrupt blood flow. Blood is unnecessary for most everything like shouting fighting running flailing, etc. over the first 30 seconds or so. Only an expert can interrupt those functions with a knife.

Also, no clue what they did that night, but if you get pretty drunk, come home and take a couple bong hits you’ll be out.

I agree, that goes along with one girl’s OnlyFans link. I think it was a customer that got too close and probably thought what he was buying was real.

It was. I knew the family. Good people, and I mean really good people. It makes you question a lot of things.

She had Onlyfans? Agree, anecdotally further supports the obsessed reject theory.

I went to UGA at the same time, and there was usually one or two apartment break-ins/rape/murders a year, that always seemed to get pretty hushed up by the school and local authorities. IIRC around that time, there was a national parent-led effort for college towns to provide more transparent crime stats on or around campus.

BUt, yeah, as a guy I never felt at risk, once I learned to avoid walking alone at night near the housing projects in Athens, which just happened to be located across the street from the freshamn dorms.

From the first day someone here linked the girl’s Instagram pages and one girl’s page had an OnlyFans link on it. The skinny blond.

Probably talked to him the first day after they saw the calls on the cell phone records.

Some reports that was a fake site, made after the murders.
