gruesome murder of 4 students in their house in Idaho

[Jaga]

University of Idaho in Moscow is one of the most prominent universities here. I know plenty of people who studied there. I went with John last year to see this place. On Nov.13 a shocking murder took place when 4 of the students were killed in their sleep, while two others were unaffected. The police has no clue and everybody on the campus is shocked or left. In the beginning university and police said that this was a targeted murder of passion and people should feel safe, but no proof of anything was provided sofar.

What a horrible situation of murder of these four young people in their sleep. The entire situation is so horrific as to be almost unimaginable and with a knife of all things. If the deed had been committed with a firearm, then at least clues could be obtained from the bullet lands and grooves. But, with a knife, unless the weapon was recovered, there is little residual to be gathered from the victims' wounds.

There though is a constant, and that is upon arrival of any one onto the scene, they always will leave something of themselves at the scene, similarly, this same person upon leaving the scene, will take something from that scene upon their person {cloths,shoes,hands or whatever}, this is a constant.

Myself as you know am not police, but forensics is the basics of investigation of most any crime scene.

It is of good hope and trust the perpetrator will be shortly found and soundly prosecuted to the fullest extent.

Folks,

I think that the USA is a large country and that killers or serial killers can travel from state to state or hide themselves in one state. Karl sadly is right in what he said. A knife killing is hard to investigate if you do not have the knife.

I have watched the TLC channel about murder cases and serial murders and we sometimes forget about them, but there were quite a few of them in the USA.

Is this stabbing and killing of these 4 people an isolated case or is it part of a chain of murders which took place elsewhere as well. Is this a serial killer? Was this a student community murder or was someone from outside the purpetrator?

I am sorry for the lives of Ethan Chapin (20), Xana Kernodle (20), Madison Mogen (21) and Kaylee Goncalves (21) which were take away from them at such an early age. I hope that good memories of them can ease the pain from family members, friends and fellow students of the University of Idaho.

Karl and Pieter, they found a suspect - Brian Kohlberger, a graduate student of criminology in a neighboring university in Washington State. This guy has some mental problems, he is probably autistic, which does not justify the killing, but at least help understand it.
For the community it is a relief, since nobody from Idaho did it. Kohlberger probably tried to commit a perfect murder ...

Idaho murders timeline: What we know about the slayings of four students
Police arrested the suspect, Bryan Kohberger, more than 2,500 miles away in eastern Pennsylvania

MOSCOW, Idaho — Nearly seven weeks after four University of Idaho students were brutally murdered, police arrested a suspect more than 2,500 miles away in eastern Pennsylvania.

Bryan Christopher Kohberger, 28, a PhD student at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, was arrested on December 30 and charged with four counts of first-degree murder and felony burglary for the Nov. 13 stabbing deaths of Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21.

Mogen, Kernodle and Goncalves lived with two other students in a six-bedroom home off campus at 1122 King Road near fraternity row. Chapin, who was dating Kernodle, was staying the night.

This is what is known about what happened before and after the killings and the progress of the investigation.
