Police reaffirm University of Idaho student slayings were part of a 'targeted attack'

Police on Thursday reaffirmed that the grisly killings of four University of Idaho students were part of a "targeted attack" the day after authorities appeared to suggest the opposite.

“We remain consistent in our belief that this was indeed a targeted attack but have not concluded if the target was the residence or its occupants,” a spokesperson for the Moscow Police Department told NBC News.

Authorities have released conflicting statements since Madison Mogen, 21; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were found fatally stabbed at an off-campus home in Moscow on Nov. 13.

The slayings — described by a local coroner as one of the most “gruesome” she had ever seen — have left the victims’ families and the public with many questions.

“Detectives do not currently know if the residence or any occupants were specifically targeted but continue to investigate,” police said in a post on the department’s Facebook page.'

They were targeted, IMHO, but by who?

there is no chance someone went into that house and stabbed 4 people to death and didn’t leave any evidence.

The Uvalde and Moscow P.D.s are proof that allowing the criminals to talk the jackass politicians into defunding and cutting back the police departments really wasn’t a good idea. It definitely didn’t bring George Floyd back from the dead.

Why do I think this was RACIAL and the killer is black?

Could be politics or avoidance of the "correct narrative" here, with the killer being non-white; black, muslim, hispanic..

Is this a lib town or conservative area? Any of the deceased have political ties leaning right?

Another thought..

COULD BE MORE THAN ONE KILLER.. Easier to take out four with two people.

Unless all the girls and their families were Trump supporters the FBI should have been called in to collect evidence.

imho, the police should only be giving the families updates and stop with the public statements. Such a bizarre case. You would think that there would be strong clues left behind. Like you, I think it was targeted and was targeted against those kids specifically. They left 2 living. They were sleeping on the first floor and woke up the next day and found the others at around 11AM. It's hard to believe that they heard nothing but then again, if they slept with a fan or something, they may not have.

I'm hoping the cops really do have some solid leads that they are keeping 'close to the vest' because all them sound like they're dumb as dirt.

So what they’re saying is that the perp didn’t just walk down the street, see a house at random and say, “this one.” That’s why they make the big bucks.

The murderer(s) have to be acquaintances of one or both of the SURVIVORS.

Problem is to many people were in before the police - according to my readings of previous articles...

Reminds me of the Bonet Ramsey...

“ Could not have been just one guy.”

Richard Speck was one guy and he killed 8.

Some serial killers choose and stalk their victims. BTK is an example. It is targeted but there is no relationship between the killer and their victims

The victims were killed on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the house.

The sleeping roommates who lived were on the 1st floor.

Why would this racial killer pass up the opportunity to kill two more presumably white college students on his way out the front door?

I think they initially said this because they did not want to panic the community. Similarly, they said there was no danger to the public. How could they know that for sure at the time? The way it sounded back then made it seem like it they knew who the killer was. Or, that it was a murder-suicide, a drug overdose, or the like.

'Targeted' could mean the murderer randomly walked past the house and decided to go in and see if he could get into some trouble. Also, it could mean the murderer has a long-standing motive or anything in-between.

They may be keeping up the same 'targeted' phrasing to avoid sounding inconsistent which may make them look incompetent.
