MOSCOW, ID – The Moscow Police Department says remediation of the residence where four University of Idaho students were killed in mid-November will begin tomorrow morning. While the home in the 1100 block of King Street will remain an active crime scene under law enforcement control, Chief Jim Fry says they are working with Team Idaho Property Management Services to begin cleanup by a private company.

There is no timeline for completion, but the residence will be returned to the property management company when finished.

Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kernolde’s boyfriend, Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death with a fixed-blade knife during the early morning hours of November 13th. No suspect has been identified and the murder weapon has not been found.

Fry says tips continue to come in regarding the case.

From MPD:
Moscow Police patrol officers will be in the area to keep the roadways open. Media is asked to provide adequate space for work vehicles accessing the residence.
  • Investigators continue processing and working through more than 9,025 emailed tips, 4,575 phone tips, 6,050 digital media submissions, and have conducted over 300 interviews. Investigators believe someone has information that adds context to what occurred on the night of the murders and continue requesting additional pictures, video, and social media content. Our focus remains on the investigation, not an individual’s activities displayed in the tip.
Whether you believe it is significant or not, your information might be one of the puzzle pieces that help solve these murders. Digital submission of tips and leads will not be publicly disclosed due to our ongoing commitment to keep information private, and details may be pertinent to the ongoing criminal investigation.
  • Progress continues to locate the white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra believed to be in the immediate area of the King Road residence during the early morning hours of November 13th. Investigators believe the occupant(s) may have critical information to share about this case. If you know of, or own, a vehicle matching this description, or know of anyone who may have been driving this specific vehicle on the days preceding or the day of the murders, please forward that information to the Tip Line.
  • No suspect(s) has been identified and only vetted information that does not hinder the investigation will be released to the public. We encourage referencing official releases for accurate and updated progress. All press releases and related information is available at: https://www.ci.moscow.id.us/1064/King-Street-Homicide.
  • Updates will be provided when new information is available for release.
The Moscow Police Department thanks our community for their continued support, understanding of the limited information we can share, and patience during this difficult time.
