The police chief leading the investigation into the murders of four University of Idaho students has shared a vague update on when the 911 call that led to the discovery of the victims’ bodies could be released.
Authorities have kept a tight lid on the call in the more than six weeks since Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were brutally stabbed to death in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho, on 13 November.
Moscow Police Chief James Fry was pressed on when the call would be made public in a rare interview with KREM-TV this week.
"I think it’ll be released when the prosecution believes that we can release that," he said. "That may be at trial. That may be before then."
Asked whether the call could help bring investigators closer to making an arrest, Mr Fry replied: "I can’t discuss that.”
It comes after Moscow Police put out a fresh call for tips from the public, expressing their belief that someone knows something that could help catch the killer.
