MOSCOW, Idaho — Moscow police released new details on Tuesday about the homicide investigation into the deaths of four University of Idaho students, revealing that, based on preliminary information, an “edged weapon” such as a knife was used in the attack.
So far, investigators have not located a weapon in what police have characterized as a murder. They continue to affirm that they believe this was an isolated and targeted incident. “There is no imminent threat to the community at large,” police said in a news release.
The four victims killed were U of I seniors Madison Mogen, 21, of Coeur d’Alene and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, of Rathdrum, junior Xana Kernodle, 20, of Post Falls, and freshman Ethan Chapin, 20, of Mount Vernon, Washington.
