BOISE, Idaho — Some of the families of the four University of Idaho students killed in Moscow last fall oppose tearing down the off-campus home where the crime occurred before suspect Bryan Kohberger’s murder trial in October.
A date has yet to be set for demolition of the King Road home, according to the university. But the University of Idaho wants to remove the six-bedroom home from the property before Aug. 21, when students return to campus for the fall semester, university spokesperson Jodi Walker told the Idaho Statesman last week.
The four victims were University of Idaho seniors Kaylee Goncalves and Madison Mogen, both 21; and junior Xana Kernodle and freshman Ethan Chapin, both 20. With two other housemates, the three women rented the home just north of new Greek Row, while Chapin was Kernodle’s boyfriend and stayed over the night of their deaths.
