Summary
Early on the afternoon of 13 November 2022, police in Moscow, Idaho responded to a 911 call about an "unconscious individual" at 1122 King Road. Inside the home, located near the University of Idaho campus, officers would find four bodies in total: three young women that lived at the property (Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, and Xana Kernodle) and one young man (Ethan Chapin, Xana's boyfriend). All four victims had been killed in an apparent homicide, likely stabbed to death with the same knife, but specific details about the crime remain clouded in mystery.
In the weeks since this event unfolded, police in Moscow have continued to search for the unknown subject that committed this crime, while attempting to protect the integrity of their investigation from rumor, gossip, and online chatter. Meanwhile, as authorities field criticism about their initial response to the story, an international spotlight continues to shine upon this small college town...
