A University of Idaho professor accused of taking part in the brutal slaying of four college students by a tarot-card-reading TikTok sleuth has been cleared as a suspect in the crime, local police said Tuesday.
Last week, before she was absolved of the murders, history professor Rebecca Scofield filed a defamation suit against Texas TikTok user Ashley Guillard, who has posted numerous videos accusing the teacher of being involved after two cease-and-desist letters didn’t work.
“At this time in the investigation, detectives do not believe the female associate professor and chair of the history department at the University of Idaho suing a TikTok user for defamation is involved in this crime,” police in the college town of Moscow said in an update on the investigation. “The Moscow Police Department will not provide a statement about the ongoing civil process.”
