Idaho murders - updates: Eerie new crime scene detail emerges as Moscow police target mystery car

By The Independent

A neighbour of the University of Idaho students brutally stabbed last month has revealed new details about the crime scene on the day of the slayings.

Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were killed between 3am and 4am on 13 November, Moscow Police have previously said. The group had arrived home before 2am and were found dead by law enforcement around noon after a 911 call was made from the phone of one of the surviving roommates.

Chapin and Kernodle’s bodies were found on the second floor while Mogen and Goncalves were found inside a room on the third floor. The two roommates were on the first floor during the stabbings but are believed to have slept through it before the call about an “unconscious person” was made nearly nine hours later.

Now, a neighbour of the victims has told Fox News Digital that they had seen the front door, which opens to the first level, wide open around 8.30am the day of the attack.

Meanwhile, investigators are searching for the occupant or occupants of a white 2011-2013 Hyundai Elantra that was seen “in the immediate area” of the home on King Road in the early hours of 13 November. The occupant “may have critical information to share regarding this case,” police said, as they asked for the public’s help.

More than three weeks on from the slayings, no arrests have been made and no suspects named.
