Massacre in Moscow, Idaho

On Sunday November 13, 2022, at around 11.58am, a call was made about an ‘Unconscious Person’ being found in a house on King Road in Moscow, Idaho. When police arrived, they were met with what has been one of the worst crime scenes that law enforcement have ever come across.

Four University of Idaho students were stabbed to death in their off-campus home. The victims are:

Madison Mogen (21)

Xana Kernodle (20) and her boyfriend Ethan Chapin (20)

Kaylee GonCalves (21)

Police held a press conference on November 16 where they provided an update on the investigation.

Other roommates who lived there were home at the time – reporter asked if it was a hostage situation? He said no – looking at everyone who has been in and out of the house

  1. There was a similar case in the way-back: 7 or 8 young women killed at night with a knife. What may be relevant in this case is the psych of the killer in that case. In prison, the killer, Richard Speck, continued his gender evolution with breast enhancement surgery, and became quite promiscuous, so the stories go , being vocal about the pleasures of anal sex and even starring in a bootleg f/film. Now according to multiple websites Moscow is friendly to all the variations of homosexuality. This direction, I believe, may be the path forward in the hunt.
