BOISE — A University of Idaho professor has filed a defamation lawsuit against a Texas-based TikTok personality who has accused the history chair of being the perpetrator in the killing of four students in an off-campus home on Nov. 13.
Police still have not named a suspect and have not found the knife they say was used in the quadruple homicide that took the lives of 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.
On Nov. 24, Ashley Guillard, an internet sleuth with more than 105,000 followers, posted six videos to her account in which she claimed that Rebecca Scofield was responsible for the four deaths. Guillard also said the professor had been involved in a romantic relationship with one of the victims, Goncalves, and that was the motive.
