Got my Masters degree from here. :(

Killer who stabbed 4 Idaho students to death still at large​

The killer — or killers — who stabbed four University of Idaho students to death remained at large Tuesday, prompting many students to leave the campus in the idyllic small town despite police assurances that there was no imminent risk to the community.

So many students had left the scenic tree-lined campus in Moscow, Idaho, by Tuesday that university officials said a candlelight vigil scheduled for the next day would instead be held after the Thanksgiving break.

The students, all close friends, were found dead in an off-campus rental home around noon on Sunday, and officials said they likely were killed several hours earlier. Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt told the Spokane, Washington-based television station KXLY that her preliminary investigation showed the students were stabbed to death. There is no indication that substance use was involved in the deaths, Mabbutt said.

I know what you mean but I wouldn't want to either for many reasons.

We had a funeral with the perp and his side of the family all the while KNOWING he killed her while they played otherwise to their family and his friends. It was AWFUL. Even if we hadn't known "whodunit" I wouldn't have wanted to wonder who was there that it might be, all the while not knowing...

You almost can't grieve until someone is arrested and you can't grieve and focus on the life lost BECAUSE there is no justice and once there is an arrest, then it becomes again about the perp, delays and trial for years etc. Only after which you wait years for can you finally maybe try to make it about the victim.

It's horrid.

It wasn't the same crime but I can identify entirely with them not wanting to have one with no perp arrested and with no clue who the perp was who might be walking amongst them all.

Think of Delphi. Kelsey has said for years as has the family I think that every day they may be talking to the perp, passing him on the street, that is how awful it is I think when they don't know who...

I know what you've been through. It's awful. This case. They don't know who it is. I get it that a funeral is a sacred event. It's that taking a chance for the perpetrator to show up and get caught. Which IMO would be worth taking a chance.

I think it was a missed opportunity that they decided to not have a funeral because they thought the killer would attend. Isn't that good chance for catching him?. I'm not insulting. I'm just sad that, IMO he would have been there.

I agree 100% with this. If it were me I'd ask the cops to show up right before the clergyman starts speaking. I'd want everyone there when they showed up. Detectives and guys wearing uniforms. They could watch the crowd and see if anyone was behaving suspiciously.

I know what you mean but short of someone really acting odd or someone who should show up avoiding it, how would they know who was the perp? How would the parents OR LE know? I know we hear all of the time how they will go back to a scene, to a grave, insert themselves in an investigation, go to a funeral and that is all well and good but it sure doesn't mean they will be able to determine who at the funeral is the one. I think it is a bit out there to think that really happens that often. I think more often is someone who is not grieving like a wife who killed her husband or had something to do with it having a pool party (Lori Vallow), a wife who killed her hub showing up with a new boob job (think there was a case like that), someone shortly after appearing with a new love or moving one in, etc. and even then all it does is raise eyebrows, it isn't evidence.

In this case, there are a ton of Js alone who all would probably attend if they faced it with the talk of them all. It is already which one is it and at the funeral I think it would be the same. Unless of course one showed up in a Hyundai with blood stains on or in it...

It isn't really I don't think that common they nail someone or even get onto them from a funeral.

Justice is paramount I agree and we felt that but what felt even worse is nothing was about HER, the victim. Not her funeral, not her being taken off life support, nothing. Well it was, but he overshadowed it all. Let the family have what they need in making it about the murdered victim and not wondering if they are hugging the perp or thanking him.

What I will say though is even then I guess, it isn't all about the victim. I think you know we waited as NEVER for three plus years was anything not overshadowed by him. When he was finally sent away, we laid her ashes to rest and buried her. And it absolutely ate away at us over those years that we could but couldn't as we wanted it about HER. At least that ONE piece, that ONE part.

I do get what you mean and the line of thinking. Cops either have a clue though or they don't and if they don't, I don't think attendees at the funeral would be the lynch pin or even necessarily provide anything for a lead.

Jmo though. Love ya even if we disagree.
 
And not even disagree. I just get exactly how they feel no matter the difference in the cases or route to justice. There is no putting it into words really.

Imagine for instance someone who did something terrible to your mom or another loved one that was hated showing up at the funeral. It is your send off, your goodbye, HER tribute. No one has a right to take away from that. It is something like that but more so as you don't KNOW who will come, what they have done, if they did it but HE or SHE may be there, you just are a sitting duck not knowing who it is.... That you don't want there and would take out yourself if you could or only knew. And they have no right to taint a loved one's death and send off by their very presence even if you are unaware of it or who it may be.

Idaho murders: Border authorities monitoring for Hyundai Elantra that was near scene of quadruple homicide

Border authorities are monitoring for a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra that was in the "immediate area" of the scene of a quadruple homicide last month in Moscow, Idaho.
www.foxnews.com www.foxnews.com
The Moscow Police Department said on Wednesday that they want to speak to the occupant or occupants of the vehicle, whom they believe may have "critical information" about the quadruple homicide on Nov. 13.

"Our ports of entry out that way are aware of it and will be keeping an eye out for it," a CBP spokesperson told Fox News Digital.


The Moscow Police Department credited tips for leading them to the Hyundai Elantra. The license plate number on the vehicle is unknown.

I would also add we had a victim's advocate but that person did not take over until charges were brought. It was detective contact for months until that point.

Thank you for weighing in on how it works. That makes sense because when I had the case of a man exposing himself, I talked to the detective until the arrest was made and then a victim's advocate contacted me. I let the VA go because I wanted them to focus on people who were emotionally upset. I was fine, just wanted the perv to face consequences because he had exposed himself to a young girl who was scared afterward. :(

Idaho murders: Nearly 4 weeks after slayings, neighbor reportedly recalls hearing scream

University of Idaho students Ethan Chapin, 20; Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Madison Mogen, 21, were stabbed several times and killed on Nov. 13.

Idaho murders: Nearly 4 weeks after slayings, neighbor reportedly recalls hearing scream​

A man who lives near the home where four University of Idaho students were killed last month has come forward about hearing a scream early on the morning of the attacks in the area of the crime scene, according to a local report.

Inan Harsh, a local chef, told the Idaho Statesman he got home around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 13 after working late. The home at 1122 King Street in Moscow, Idaho, was usually bustling, even at that time, he told the news site, but instead, "There was not a lot of activity."

Hours later, as he began to fall asleep around 4 a.m., he said he heard what sounded like a scream coming from the area of 1122 King Street, the Statesman reported. However, Harsh reportedly did not think much of the scream and instead associated it with a "party sound" rather than one of more negative value.

"I didn’t think anything of it," Harsh told the news site. "After what happened, I’ve definitely had second thoughts. Maybe it was not a party sound"

He reportedly said he did not initially tell police about the sound, adding, "I’m not sure what good it does for them now."

According to the report, Harsh previously notified police about an unfamiliar black SUV that was parked near the front of the King Street home.

Sunday will mark one month since the gruesome quadruple homicide, which remains unsolved with no murder weapon recovered.

Interesting. He sure noted a lot about this house that night. Not saying he did it or anything but he did note plenty.

LE is looking for a white vehicle and he advised of a strange black one previously. I wonder when he advised of that but never mentioned the scream apparently until now... AND a time...
 
Arrest "unrelated".
His defense attorney, by the way, is the Moscow coroner...
