What happened in Idaho on November 13? So far, the police don’t know much about it. That day, at 11:58 a.m., the emergency services received a call from students at 1122 King Road in Moscow, a town in the middle of the hills of this rural state in the American northwest. Amazement for the police when they come across four corpses of students: two on the first floor, two on the second.
The bodies of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen – both 21 years old -, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin – 20 years old each and a couple – are covered with stab wounds. No trace of a sexual crime was found, but some of the victims had defense wounds. However, so far, “there is no […] no known suspects, no arrests or any weapons found, ”summarizes the investigators.
More than 100 seals and more than 5,000 pieces of evidence
Since then, the police have been skating, thousands of Internet users are playing amateur investigators and the enigma thickens around this quadruple murder. According to the first elements of the investigation, these uneventful students were killed in their sleep, without waking up their two other roommates in this three-storey white house with small windows.
The time of the crime ? Between 2:52 a.m., the time of the last calls on Kaylee Goncalves’ phone, and the call for help at the end of the morning. Everyone had partied the night before, an ordinary student Saturday night. Quickly, a hundred investigators from the local police, that of the State and the FBI are mobilized. They collect 113 seals, 4,000 photographs and more than 5,000 pieces of evidence.
The list of individuals cleared of all suspicion is longer: the two surviving roommates; a hooded man seen near Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen as they bought food from a “food truck” leaving a bar; the one who led them to the now cursed house; the friends called in the morning by the surviving roommates; a man who would have followed Kaylee several months before.
Despite the instance of the local public, the investigators are careful not to make public a number of details: where exactly were the victims found? What are their wounds? What traces, fingerprints, DNA samples were collected? What is the content of the first call for help? Case to follow.
