Father of Idaho murder victim says ‘means of death’ do not match

Police investigating the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students have released new details about the claim that victim Kaylee Goncalves may have had a stalker.

In mid-October, an incident involving two men unfolded at a local business where one of the men appeared to follow Goncalves inside the establishment and as she left to walk to her car, Moscow Police said on Monday.

Neither of the men appeared to make contact with the 21-year-old and it was believed to be an isolated incident – with no evidence they are connected to the murders.

Officials said the incident “may have been the stalker reference she made to friends and family” though they continue to ask for tips around the claims.

The new details came as Madison Mogen’s boyfriend spoke out for the first time, paying tribute to “the person that I loved most” at an emotional vigil.

It is now three weeks since Goncalves, Mogen, their housemate Xana Kernodle and Kernodle’s boyfriend Ethan Chapin were murdered in an off-campus home in the college town of Moscow, Idaho, on 13 November. No arrests have been made and no suspects have been identified.
