Moscow, Idaho, police will hold a press conference Sunday at 3 p.m. PST, one week after four University of Idaho students were discovered fatally stabbed in a house near campus.
Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry will provide an update on the murder investigation Sunday afternoon in the Alumni Lounge inside the Idaho Central Credit Union on the school campus. It is the second press conference held by the police department, KREM 2 reported.
Mystery surrounding the murders of Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin, 20, has intensified, with police not naming a suspect in the case seven days after their deaths. The three young women were roommates in a house near campus, while Chapin was visiting his girlfriend at the home when they were tragically killed.
Each person died due to stab wounds. A weapon has not yet been located.
