Idaho university murders: Self-described 'socially awkward' neighbor denies rumors he's the killer
Washington Examiner ^ | November 30, 2022 09:17 AM | by Cami Mondeaux

A self-described “socially awkward” third-year law student at the University of Idaho has denied rumors that he's the at-large culprit responsible for the murder of four students inside an off-campus home earlier this month.

Police are still investigating the quadruple murders that occurred on Nov. 13, with officials confirming they still have not identified a suspect or found a murder weapon. Third-year student Jeremy Reagan responded to rumors that he may be the one behind the murders during an interview with CourtTV on Tuesday, telling reporters he has “nothing to hide.”

“I’m willing to give DNA, fingerprints, whatever they need,” he said. “I’m naturally an awkward person, just my mannerisms, the way I talk … my natural person, just a little bit socially awkward, so I might smile at points that I shouldn’t. I might make weird hand movements when I shouldn’t.”

Prosecutors approached Reagan for questioning earlier this week but didn’t request DNA sampling from him, he told the outlet. However, he noted that he agreed to come down to the station for further questioning if it was deemed necessary.

However, the “ruthless” online rumors, as Reagan describes them, have prompted the law student to begin carrying a gun around campus, he said.

“They’ve already contacted my friends asking questions about me,” Reagan said. “And so who knows if someone’s going to go so far as to try and confront me in person?”

Reagan previously told the New York Post that he didn’t know the victims but that he would often walk past the house where they were murdered a couple of times a week to walk his dog.

“There were parties that were kind of loud,” he said. “As I would take my dog in and out to go to the bathroom, I would just be walking by, [and] I would look up, and I would see people in the windows almost every night, probably four or five nights a week.”

The victims have been identified as university students Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21. Each was murdered in bed and was stabbed in both the chest and upper body with a large knife.

Police have ruled out the two surviving roommates, as well as additional friends who were in the home at the time of the 911 call, as suspects in their investigation.

I read that the only fans page was a fake created by some asshat incel troll. If true, he should also be investigated and then tarred and feathered and sued into eternal penury by her family.

That is totally false.

It is an internet rumor started by a jealous person.

With all the so called super sleuths on this thread and site, I'm surprised they haven't come up with a name.

So what are they hiding?

There will be a candlelight vigil at the University tonight.

You can bet that FBI will be scrutinizing all attendees.

This fellow quotes information gathered on Instagram, that explains the likely course of events. Uncorroborated, but...

It explains the “911 unconscious person” call, who it was that spoke to the cops, why the confusion about the murders. In the short time before before police arrived, there were several friends of the group who entered the house and contaminated the scene.

Richard Jewell was actually one of the lucky ones. Although they put him through hell at least proof that he was 100% innocent came out before he died.

Not that anyone apologized.

I have been interested in this concept since I read "Ordeal by Innocence" as a teen. One of the throw away lines is about a (RL) mystery where there were four people singled out by the press who possibly could have done the murder (or suicide?) Possibly one of the four got away with murder but four people definitely had their lives taken away by suspicion.

A desire for justice is laudable. As long as you keep in mind that destroying the lives of the innocent in your pursuit is not justice.

One of the girls shared a dog with her ex-boyfriend. The dog was supposedly in the house when the murders occurred. It was not killed or injured in the attack. Why did it not alert to an intruder? Why did the dog not bark?, so to speak.

Wow! If there was ever a case example for “the dog that didn’t bark” this would be it.

Why DIDN’T the dog bark when 4 people were murdered?

Well, you would assume they would, but this is the new FIB.

One of the fraternity brothers has a pinterest with knives on it, I’d be looking at that dude, not some law student.

I saw that here, but I don’t think anyone has confirmed it.
At least not to my knowledge.
