BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Gov. Brad Little last month pledged $1 million in state funding to assist the investigation into the homicides of four University of Idaho students in Moscow. A local official said the funding is sorely needed but has yet to materialize for the city.
Taxpayer-funded expenses continue to climb, with no sign from investigators that they’re close to finding a suspect in the attack that killed Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin.
Violence on such a scale is uncommon in Moscow, a roughly 26,000-population college town in North Idaho, so local officials welcomed help from the governor’s office to fund the sprawling investigation that includes the Moscow Police Department, Idaho State Police and FBI.
