Father of Idaho murder victim says ‘means of death’ do not match
Police investigating the unsolved murders of four University of Idaho students have denied that the victims’ families are being “left in the dark” about the case.
Moscow Police Chief James Fry told NBC that officers are in communication with the four families “daily” as he defended law enforcement’s handling of the investigation.
“Every family wants a little bit different information, and we have a liaison with each of the families, that we talked to them daily,” he said.
His comments come after Kaylee Goncalves’ family voiced frustration with a lack of communication from police and raised questions about the experience of officers on the case.
More than five weeks have now passed since Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death in their beds in Moscow on 13 November.
No arrests have been made and no suspects have been named, with a promising lead about a mystery car falling flat in recent days.
With the killer still at large, the University of Idaho announced plans to offer self-defence, stalking awareness, and vigilance courses to students returning to the college town for the upcoming spring semester.
