Murder In Moscow: Moscow Police Update The Case On December 5th 2022
Published 3 hours ago
Description
By December 5, 2022, Moscow police said investigators were still reconstructing the movements of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin in the hours before the murders and were particularly interested in filling gaps in Ethan and Xana’s timeline at the Sigma Chi house. Detectives had received more than 2,600 emailed tips, 2,700 phone tips and 1,000 digital media submissions, while continuing to seek surveillance video from the broader Moscow area between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Police had also investigated reports that Kaylee had a stalker, including an October incident in which a man appeared to follow her inside and outside a local business, but investigators determined that encounter was isolated and found no evidence connecting either man involved to the murders. Authorities continued to maintain that the killings appeared targeted, although they had not determined whether the target had been the residence itself or one or more of the victims.
At that point, no suspect had been identified, nobody was in custody and investigators had not recovered the murder weapon. Police said they did not believe the surviving roommates, the man seen in the Grub Truck video, the private driver who took Kaylee and Madison home, the man the women repeatedly called that morning, anyone present when the 911 call was made, or a former tenant listed on the lease had been involved. Investigators had collected 113 pieces of physical evidence, taken approximately 4,000 crime-scene photographs, completed multiple 3D scans of the King Road house, searched the contents of three dumpsters and contacted local businesses about recent fixed-blade knife purchases. The Idaho State Police crime lab was already processing evidence, while the FBI had deployed dozens of investigators and behavioral-analysis personnel to assist. Police also continued pushing back against rumors, saying several incidents that had attracted public attention, including other regional stabbings, a red Mustang, reports of tied and gagged victims and animal mutilations, had not been connected to the murders.
