Police have confessed that there may ''possibly' be a threat to the community following the deaths of four university students. Concers have been raised over the last known footage of Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Ethan Chapin, 20 and Xana Kernodle, 20.
The friends were all found murdered on November 13 in their student home in Moscow, Idaho. And CCTV footage taken not long before the deaths showed Mogen and Goncalves grabbing some food from a Grub Truckers stand where they ordered carbonara and a ''mac of the week''.
The video confirms the two women waited around 10 minutes for their food in the early hours of Sunday morning between 1.33am and 1.43am, the Mirror reports. The clip also shows them standing with an unidentified young man who Madison gives a hug to before returning to wait with Kaylee.
Joseph Woodall who served the pair told the Mail: "There was no one giving off bad vibes or standing around. What everybody is talking about now is not knowing why police are saying we don't have to panic. Nobody is panicking but no one is walking around at night either."
Chapin and Kernodle, who were dating at the time of their deaths, were also pictured together with their housemates only hours before their deaths. Goncalves posted a chilling photograph on social media with a caption that read: "One lucky girl to be surrounded by these people every day."
Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry said: "We do not have a suspect at this time, and we cannot say there is no threat to the community. The reality is there is still a person out there who committed four horrible crimes, so I think we have got to back to there is a threat out there still."
The bloody nature of the crime had added more concern around the case as police said they are unsure if the door was unlocked after they discovered no sign of forced entry into the house. It's been reported that blood was ''everywhere'' in the house and could disturbingly be seen seeping out of the walls.
One police source told the Mail: "We have investigators who have been on the job for 20, even 30, years, and they say they have never seen anything like this." Earlier this week, Police Captain Anthony Dahlinger told the Idaho Statesman the deaths were likely the result of "an isolated, targeted attack".
The police have launched a search for the murder weapon and autopsies are due to be completed later this week. President Scott Green said in a joint press conference with Fry, Provost Tory Lawrence and Student Dean Blaine Eccles that the deaths were "simply beyond comprehension."
"While our small community is certainly not immune to such things. It's not a situation our close-knit campus is used to dealing with," Green said through tears. All classes were suspended until Tuesday in honour of the tragic deaths of the four students.
Mother of Ethan, Stacey Chapin, told the Seattle Times of her "excruciating" grief. She said: "It is an unspeakable tragedy and the pain is excruciating. Ethan was literally the greatest kid friend to all and a smile that could light up any room."
