Officials in Moscow, Idaho, will hold a press conference on Wednesday afternoon related to the ongoing investigation into the horrific murders of four local university students.
University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and 21-year-old Madison Mogen were stabbed several times and killed in the early morning hours of November 13, officials have said. Police have not identified any suspects.
Moscow police received a call shortly before noon on Nov. 13 for a report of an “unconscious person” at the King Road home. Several other people had gathered at the crime scene by the time police arrived, officials said.
According to police, the 911 call “originated from inside the residence,” and came from one of the surviving roommates’ cell phones. Police said several people spoke to the dispatcher before officers arrived.
