Idaho State Police have revealed investigators won’t reveal details on why they believe the victims were targeted to protect the probe.
Authorities had previously said that the public would have to “trust them” on the notion that the killings of Xana Kernodle, Ethan Chapin, Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen were targeted because no details behind the reasoning would be released.
Aaron Snell, with Idaho State Police, told Fox News Digital on Saturday that information about the targeted murders is being handled with caution so as to not jeopardize the investigation, which has entered its second week with no arrests or major developments.
“And so if we just provide information to the public, I just don’t think that that’s going to be a wise choice,” he said.
Mr Snell also confirmed that authorities do not have a suspect at this time and said that keeping information “from view is going to be critical [in] trying to develop” the investigation in the future.
