The killer? That is the question mark surrounding the chilling case of the Idaho Students Murders.
The four students: Ethan Chapin (20) Kaylee Goncalves (21), Xana Kernodle, (20) and Madison Mogen, (21), were found stabbed to death on November 13 in an off-campus home in Moscow, Idaho.
The question is: who would murder 4 students in their sleep and what was their motive?
We're recapping everything we know about the Idaho students murders today on True Crime Recaps.

You did an excellent job on this recap. This has been the most informative video I watched with events that happened in order. It’s definitely a very sad case and the details are so odd. Hopefully the killer/killers are caught soon and these families get some peace ❤
I thoroughly agree. This is really sad. Four young people with their entire lives in front of them.💔🥀🕊️
I agree, the best presentation of the events I’ve seen.
I bet the killer is a weirdo studies crime and drives a white car and will be caught very soon and has a Jewish looking name 😮😮😮
Dude, I enjoy your recaps so much!! It’s just absolutely horrific that this crazed killer is still walking about freely.
Thanks for watching Latanya. Yes. It is SO crazy to think this person is out there still.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps tragic 🙏for families
Caught now !
they cought him
I truly wish we could live in a world where everyone died from old age. This is really heart breaking and knowing someone is out there who could take 4 innocent lives is just awful, i hope they catch this person very fast.
I wish that also, and that parents didn't have to bury their babies 😢
Especially since it's not KohBerger !! All the states evidence is falling apart...he needs to be released.
Allegedly the person who called 911 found Ethan and that's when she ran outside but fainted and someone walking by saw, and grabbed the phone to talk to dispatchers, and said SHE was unconscious. There was a lot of action that attracted the attention of other passers by. And that explains the weird 911 call
That makes sense. Couldn’t figure out how you could look at a stab victim & not see pools of blood.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Do you have any evidence, or is that just speculation? Maybe they saw blood marks/foot prints on the floor leading to/from one of the locked bedrooms, when they couldn't get any answer, they phoned the cops.
@@octowuss1888 it's been confirmed by the police
@@brianalaundrie6192 Nope. Police have not confirmed anything about the emergency call, the number or names of people who called. Given your name, you are obviously a troll.
It's so important that during a time of chaos like this. That a channel like yours exists. You portrayed every single aspect of the situation, without making it confusing. Certain topics are too harsh for some people to face but it's very important that people like you, who can handle facing the difficulties. Are the best ones to find Answers in difficult situations.
Yes... THK U 😘
It's concerning how fast authorities dismiss suspects. It's better to say "were not ruling anyone out yet" to at least give the public the impression that it's being investigated thoroughly
Unless they have video proof of their whereabouts through Ring doorbells or cctv which is completely possible in these days with so many people have video cameras all over the interior and exterior of houses. They could have a video of a person sleeping on their couch or at a 24 hour diner eating the whole time. Typically if police do rule someone out completely then they have solid proof. They just don’t clear someone on a whim.
1Cideo Game Dude: l agree with you - l find it r.very odd that they've been ruling people out left, right and centre within the first three weeks without so much as a 'we're leaving all options open'. I have found this 'suspect' since the beginning (excuse the pun!)
It's a hot mess, where double standards play a big roll; the college wants to protect it's reputation along with it's wealthy supporters. And the town and police too.
All I wish is that the victims get justice!!!!
I think it is possible to rule out specific close people that would be first suspects. If there's no chance they could have been in the vicinity, it is legitimate to rule them out. The police need to focus their attention where it will yield the probative information. If some people can be ruled out, that is actually helpful.
@@lindseyhudson1274 There have been occasions where they ruled out suspects based on someone else’s word that they were with them only to find later it was a lie. So, they don’t always have “solid” proof when ruling people out. But, I suppose that is the hardest part of solving crimes.
As I understand, one of the roommates found Ethan’s body and went running out of the house in a panic, the other roommate or someone nearby saw her freaking out and then she fainted. That other person called 911 on the roommate’s phone and reported her unconscious. They had no idea about the bodies in the house.
Wow.
Just a theory - you have no evidence that happened. Too many rumours abound in this case! Kaylee's dad said she was apparently attacked far more savagely than the others and her wounds didn't match what the coroner stated. Some have gone on to speculate she was decapitated! Again, just rumour - no evidence. The current suspect is the Food truck hoodie guy (Jack S), although cleared by police, he has a very suspect alibi of a five hour drive to a cabin in the woods. He has also been shown in hunting photos using knives to dismember kills. He was allegedly thrown out of his fraternity for abuse/anger issues and supposedly chucked out of the bar on the day of the murders for creeping out women. So many rumours, but no evidence...
@@octowuss1888 do you?
@@octowuss1888 Jack did it
Moscow, Idaho, Is my home town. It’s a perfect place to live and raise a family. This tragedy is something we’ve never seen there, and is so sad.
People that bring up Bundy May find it ironic that he attended the University of Idaho in Moscow as he was trying to get his law degree.
Ethan is a triplet. His sister and brother (his triplet siblings) were also attending the frat party.
No he didn't, University of Washington, not Idaho. He did a murder in idaho though.
Can y'all please make an updated video? This channel is so good I have no need to have cable tv anymore. Keep up the great work !!
We love you!😂
The fact that someone skinned a dog recently in that same area makes me feel like there is an evolving serial killer escalating his urges quickly. He could’ve been patrolling that road and house for a long time. If it’s someone who knows them, they’ll find him. If it’s a serial killer, more people will die before they ever find him.
❤️❤️💫🌟💫❤️💞
Not related. Dog was at their house unharmed. He would’ve killed it. Some serial/mass killers like animals. The fact the dog is alive we could say it’s probably someone that likes dogs.
@@Noticerofthings I disagree with this statement entirely. Serial killers don’t kill every animal they have a chance to kill. If he just killed four people in their sleep and knows it’s a party house he’s not going to linger around to also dispatch a dog as a side note.
@@Noticerofthings the poor skinned dog may have been practice, for the grande finale- people. Once fulfilling his people killing fantasy, and since the dog was kenneled, there was no reason for him to waste time on that.
@@lisabelle7553
It’s said that the dog was skinned by another animal. I think this rumor was debunked.
Best factual and thorough recap on UA-cam!
Caylee’s dad confirmed at the memorial service that Caylee and Maddie were sleeping in the same bed when killed. This may be a rumor but I’ve heard that Ethan wasn’t in the bedroom when he was killed. Praying for these families. 🙏
ethan was found on the floor in the bedroom doorway
Maybe he’s the one they thought was passed out.
@@samanthab1923 There’s actually a quite convoluted rumor which actually may be factual about the initial 911 call. The story is that Bethany (?) and Dylan spotted Ethan on the floor in a puddle of blood, grabbed a cell phone and ran outside to call 911. While one was making the phone call, the other one passed out in the yard. The one on the phone was so frantic and unable to speak coherently that one of their friends (who i assume they’d already called) arrived and took over speaking to the 911 operator. This person wasn’t clear as to what was actually going on, so they reported to the operator that they needed an ambulance for an unconscious person, assuming that the girl on the lawn was the one who needed help. In the meantime the girls were able to convey to the visitors what they’d seen inside the house. At least one person and possibly more went inside to check things out, thereby possibly contaminating the crime scene. - I have zero knowledge if this is factual.
@@minnietrout814 This rings true. The whole thing with the phone & who called made no sense. I just saw photos of the outside of Ethan & Xana’s room with blood running down the outside walls.
@@samanthab1923 Brian Enten has reported tonight that Kaylee’s injuries were considerably worse than Maddie’s. They’re thinking she MAY have been targeted.
For the past year people have glorified serial killers on documentaries and shows. Now this happens and everyone is shocked, you guys love this it’s disguising
This is so sad, I hope they can resolve it soon. I can’t imagine those poor kids thoughts! Thank you so much for this recap. Take care and blessings!
This is the best coverage overview as of yet. I have listened to a bunch. Thank you for all the facts fast and clear.
Thank you Laurie!
This is so sad. My thoughts go out to the families, friends and loved ones of those students. It must be very hard for them.
Awesome video 👍 this case is just so creepy.... imagine being home while your roommates your best friends are being slaughtered while you slept! And the killer(s) walked right by and missed you! All that's missing is the message scrawled on the wall saying " aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights " prayers 🙏
Great update on this case, you had a few facts I’ve not yet heard. This case is insane! How in the hell can someone get by with something like this in 2022? They have the girls at a food truck on live stream, yet not one quick glimpse of anything that could lead them to the killer, it blows my mind. Frightening stuff
I searched many videos about the killings, but this one.. is very clear, and detail. good job! I watched it until the end and understood really well
Thanks again for another excellent recap. I love you guys!!! I have to take a moment to go off in to the weeds and address those that are asking, "why were the two girls sleeping together"... so here is my take. I am a married woman who is 60 years of age, and I have been doing this with my best friend for years and years, every time she comes for a few days she sleeps with me, and my husband goes to the guest bedroom. Like most girls, of any age, we like to talk, catch up on each others lives, gossip, giggle, make plans ...etc..., this usually goes on into the wee hours of the morning and I don't want to keep my husband up waiting on us. It's also not uncommon to eventually lay down and get "comfy" as we continue to talk. Soon we are yawning not long after we are both sleeping. According to the reports the two girls in the same bed have been best friends since they were kids. On this night they have been out drinking. I speak from experience when I say to sit on the bed gabbing with your bestie, after a night of drinking, (yes, even this old lady still parties once in a while), eventually the alcohol will make the eyelids droop, and it harder to complete sentences, so you close your eyes, and drift off to sleeping and soon after your friend is out too. Often the next day we are both apologizing to the other for "passing out while you were talking"...which then sends us into a laughing fit because we have no idea who zonked out first. I am sure I am not the only adult female who does this with her best friend?
The father of one said his daughter was bunking with her BFF because most of her belongings were already moved home (including her bedding) so she was sharing with the friend. The father said he takes some comfort in knowing that they were at least together in the end. 😭💔
Bundy came to mind for me when he randomly attacked those college girls in their beds. Sometimes there isn’t a personal connection or a motive beyond someone who just wants to kill for the thrill of it. I don’t think the person was aware that there were roommates on the first floor. It seems risky to attack people on the 2nd floor and 3rd and leaving possible witnesses on the ground floor. I just hope this doesn’t go cold. I can’t imagine losing a loved one that way.
Would be trgic if it went cold. The idea that the killer was not aware of the 1st floor seems very plausible.
You should look at the Boston Strangler and the murders of the nursing students, I believe it was in Chicago. If I recall, there were some who were left alive to testify against them.
Yeah, but the profilers must have some reason for saying they think it’s personal. They know more now than they did in Bundy’s time.
@@rachelraquel758 yeah and there are a lot of details not released to the public to protect the investigation, so anything is possible. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was someone who knew them/one of the victims or if it was random opportunity. It doesn’t seem like they’re entirely confident in what they’ve learned so far, like how they told the community that they shouldn’t be concerned for their safety and then they walked that back.
@@rachelraquel758 I don't recall anyone saying that any profilers were involved in this case. Unfortunately, they are not that accurate, we just hear about them when they are right, not when they were wrong. The latter would be the Golden State Killer. They did not want to think that a cop would be involved; unfortunately for them, he was a cop. Other high profile cases involved cops killing in New Orleans and Miami. Both cases were drug related.
Such a tragic case!! Immediately brings back the nurse's murders by Bundy. This was a great deep dive, Chris!! More than in other uploads. Happy Monday to you and Amy ❣️😊
Thank you for sharing the case in real time!! Appreciate your time and effort!
🙏Thank you!
From 🇨🇦Great recap job…the best so far. Thks
Most information I’ve gotten on this. Great job. Thank you.
Yay! You are welcome, and thank you!
You are so talented at this type of storytelling. I love listening to you, despite the often gruesome subject matter.
It's great that you're covering so much information in so little time. Pls do the cases of Zavier Dupont and the Hong Kong Andrew Kisle incident. Thanks!
Those murders of brothers Andrew & Robert were weird.
@@samanthab1923 Right on! Robert didn't deserve that even though he might not have been perfect...😒 She should've just let go...

Great Job, the best video I’ve seen so far, very professional
I've been waiting for this! I've seen the headlines but haven't had time to check it out.
This could be like the Delphi case where they’ve already interviewed the killer!! 😳 if that’s the case I hope it doesn’t take 5 years for them to realize.

This case is so so horrifying no matter who did this or why. All options are just awful. Those poor college kids. I cannot imagine how horrifying their last moments were.
Great job on the recap and presenting multiple sides to issues
You do the best videos. Great info, no useless fill and professional looking editing
Great recap of events - this entire story and all the conflicting (or lack of) info has been perplexing to say the least. I hope they solve this one! Those poor kids! 😢
I’m obsessed with true crime recaps, I’ve seen almost everyone of their videos.
My heart goes out to their families and friends, I can’t imagine what they must be going through especially since the sadistic killer is still out there, sooner or later the killer will be caught
This case is beyond horrifying! What do you think was the motive behind these murders?
Some killers don’t have a motive, they just kill because they think it’s fun. Until the suspect is found, it has to be either a random killing or one of the victims must’ve gotten on the suspect’s nerves
@Vern Sherris you might be onto something there, the victims could’ve done something to get on the nerves of the killer and the killer thought right away that, “They must die.”
You did a REALLY good job covering all of this
@@matthewavery2934 randomly killing 4 ppl for no reason is not the norm.
Appreciate you Courtney, thanks so much!
I've been waiting for y'all to do this. Great info thanks guys
Yesss I've been waiting for you guys to cover this story. Thank you for keeping it up even though you sound sicky sick. 🤗 Get well soon! 😊
Love your presentations❣️
Why is the police calling this killer "sloppy". He obviously wasn't sloppy if you still havnt caught him yet.
Yes the killer was sloppy. The police already know who he is. Either this is a case of double standards and/or they're building a strong case. I just hope that the victims receive justice.
Saying he was sloppy indicates that he left a lot of clues. The cops are not going to give anything up until they have solidly built their case with the evidence. Which is entirely appropriate..
I believe the killer is the food truck hoodie guy and he's now in Africa with his parents!
@Annie497 I disagree. I think this was a methodical, well planned killing. He went into the room in a thought out fashion knowing just what he was going to do, with a plan to get out that was foiled by Ethan.
@Annie497ive just seen an interview with one of the girls fathers who does IT for a living. i strongly believe they already know the killer and have got evidence from the wifi rota. i think its someone they knew and thier phones connected or pinged in the location. they're just working on building a stronger case i think. scary to think that the killers probably watching all of this and reading comments like ours though! may they all rest in peace 💔🕊
Hi Chris and Amy.
Firstly, my deep condolences to the family's and friends of all of the victims. As for what do I think.
I think there is not enough information available to formulate a cohesive theory of the crime, but. What I will say is. I think the police know far more than they have revealed. Weather this is poor police procedure or excellent investigative tactics. Only time will tell.
Love your channel, best regards from the Republic of Ireland 👍🇮🇪
Hi Martin,
Well said. I agree that time will tell...Hopefully (as someone said earlier), I sure hope this case doesn't go cold.
The more time passes, the more that could be the case. We will be sure to get out the info as it avails.
@@TrueCrimeRecaps
Thanks Chris, thanks Amy. Hopefully we can all look forward to up dates where the guilty party or parties are held accountable.
Again. Sincere and best regards from the Republic of Ireland 🙏🇮🇪
Was waiting for you and Amy to cover this. Love it you both. Love your stories. The town next to me is KSU and is a college town just like Moscow. Very heartbreaking 💙 💜❤️💜.
*UPDATE! "Kaylee's family revealed her injuries were more extensive than those suffered by Xana Kernodle, her boyfriend Ethan Chapin or even Maddie Mogen, who was in bed with her when they were murdered on November 13." What do you think about that? Was she a target or did she force the killer to fight harder against her?*
She was the target
Wonderful channel 👏 Thank you!
This case is mind boggling. And very scary 😨
😞that poor aussie sheppard doggo 😢
@@wordwizard3912 No the OP was talking about the little dog that was skinned, not the dog that was in the house and witnessed the murderer/s.
Horrific!
Great recap.
Thanks. This crime is all over utube and the news but I hadn't been aware of the details. What an unholy nightmare from hell!!! This one could make anyone sick to their stomach, and so horribly sad as well. Don't have a guess just wanted to update myself. The poor families of the beautiful and promising young people, love and prayers to them in what must be horrific grief. Thanks Chris, you and Amy are my favorite true crime people. Happy holidays and much love.
This channel deserves ten million subscribers. At least. Best clearest reports ever. Chris, Amy, please stay on this case and come back with the updates... And thanks for the great work!!!
This case is just heartbreaking and bizarre. Thank you for your video, there is so much information it can be confusing what is fact and what isn't. This does feel very personal with the stabbing aspect. My heart breaks for all the victims families. RIP ❤️
New here and you did so good on this. Will be watching your next videos. Please update this case
Kaylee was moving out. The killer told himself now or never. The other three were casualties
I love this channel!!
I was waiting for you to do this one , great recap ! A few things I've found , some fact , some speculation. 1) An article on Newsbreak (possibly 'The Independant') stated that one girl was given a receipt at work with words 'You better watch out !' by a customer. 2) 'Harsh Reality' (not confirmed by police) said one of roommates came screaming out of house and fainted. Person 'on scene' took her phone calling police without yet having knowledge of murders. Ethan was found outside bedroom , near kitchen , and this is what she saw. 3) The 2 girls were in same room. This is a horrific case and the father of one of girls has actually put more info out than police.
I believe it's someone a bit older that knows the at least girls , possibly all 4. He's owned the knife some time and still has it. Police have said , but not confirmed , killer came in through patio doors. I question who was main target. Since they won't tell Ethan and Xana's timeline , leads to lot of speculation. Insinuation has been made that Maddies murder was the most brutal. I believe it was Xana that had her father come and change lock on door , another reason for mystery as to the target. I just hope police are more knowledgeable than they appear and this psycho , madman is caught soon !
Mann you are good! I too was waiting for these guys to put out their investgation on this story. Just to add to your thoughts I think the murder is older too maybe military special forces
The fact that he stabbed 4 people is a mystery in it self it takes a lot if strength to continue that repetitive motion especially if they all fought back. He has to be in excellent condition. It had to be very messy too he must have had blood all over himself how did he leave the house like that ? I doubt he had time to clean up so someone had to have seen something or maybe he lived near by or had someone help him. This case is so mysterious and I hope that they find this monster soon. I loved hearing your thoughts.
@@monicagarcia4306 Yours also - and we see this much the same. I think too , he either has military background and/or an avid hunter. I feel the person that 'skinned' the dog is likely the killer. He didn't buy knife recently and they won't find it until they find him !
@@Shatara exactly and yes it has to be the same person that skinned the dog. He likes his knife it is his prized possession. This definitely is not the work of a teenager a man committed this crime.
This is a really good recap
I need more information, I’m so intrigued by this story
Thank you ♥️
Sometimes people get ill-treated or rejected by fraternities & sororities.
They become angry.
This is a very troubling murder. 2 survivors. Strange 911 call. How did they not notice all the blood. Could it be more than one killer?.very suspicious
So this is what I've heard about the 911 call. The Surving roommates were worried bc they were trying to get in touch with one of the girls so they called over a friend they went upstairs to see why they weren't answering and either saw the whole scene or found Ethan and freaked out ran outside and fainted they were hysterical on the 911 call the dispatch only could make it that someone had fainted
@@wordwizard3912 oh absolutely suspicious I agree wholeheartedly I was just relaying what I've heard was said
Have a wonderful night Chris and Amy
Thank you Chris.
So Murphy the dog was crated overnight!
That's an information I hadn't heard in other UA-cam channels or the news. Great investigative job, guys!
That piece of information leaves me with more questions than answers.
The father of the girl who was mostly moved out said the dog was crated because her room was already mostly packed up and his daughter was bunking with her friend in her room for a few days. It makes sense that the dog would be crated in the nights leading up to the transition from one location to another, it's a commonly recommended tip to make moves easier on animals, so they feel safe and secure. 💔
Great Job!...Best true crime channel.....I think the other dog from 10/21/22 is connected...it fits the profile and sloppy could be a first killing for a Bundy type.
Honestly, if these kids were hosting "small gatherings" of college co-eds MOST nights of the week [presumably, by frat/sorority standards] I'd look HARD at any close neighbors who were 'regular' permanent suburban residents; NOT unafilliated to the university..
HEAR ME OUT--
Years ago, & LONG before times were so economically tough for middle class Americans, my parents owned an extremely expensive two-story home near-by to a famous Long Island, NY university. They jointly poured their life savings into this home, bc it was in a great school district & my step-dad's 2 boys were in grade-school at the time. The property had exorbitant biennial taxes attached to it, but, they thought it a worthy investment that would build in value if cared for properly.. Their nextdoor neighbors moved out 4 yrs later & the home was sold to a man who bought the residential property & [illegally] turned it into a multi-bedroom rental property-- specifically to board college co-eds. Within 3 months it became a local "party house". The neighborhood was in chaos & my parents who were regular people with 9-5 jobs & very long commutes had to deal with loud music, frat parties of 200+ people every day of the week, graffiti, kids driving onto & PARKING on their lawn, burglaries, a rapidly declining property value AND a disinterested Suffolk County Police force who literally did nothing, university officials who ignored ALL complaints, and ALL this WHILE the their yearly town property taxes remained a whopping $18K.
The neighborhood deteriorated so quickly that selling their home at 'fair market value' or anything near it was an impossibility.
My step dad who is NOT at ALL a violent man was driven nearly to the point of violent confrontation over the situation within 6 months & I'm not exaggerating. *_Do NOT underestimate the anger of a home owner driven to sleeplessness & financial ruin_*
by "innocent" college kids who think partying at high volume until 4AM on Tuesday nights is their God given right.
I'm starting to think that a neighbour was driven insane by the noise/constant parties coming from the house that the students lived in. and ended up doing the unthinkable.
Sounds like Stoney Brook in Southampton
I would had never thought that but yes it could be a neighbor driven to craziness.
If a neighbor were driven to craziness I’m sure they’d have tried to handle it other ways first. And there would be a record of complaints & attempts at dealing with it. If the police thought the skinned dog were related then maybe…? But they say totally unrelated & I can’t imagine someone becoming a murderer unless they already possessed *violent tendencies before “driven crazy”.
That is… kind of a stupid thing to do then. Because killing the kids that have a one year lease means more are coming behind them to do the same thing. Killing them does basically nothing.
Thank you for this video. I wanted to get caught up but didn't want to watch a ton of videos
I like that you said "Sigma 'Chai'", because I remember saying "Sigma 'Chee'" in college and being laughed at. I'm pretty sure we're both wrong! 😆
😂
@@TrueCrimeRecaps Like I said above - it's all Greek to some of you! lol
It's pronounced Sigma K-eye. Hope that helps you both. God Bless.
Honestly, I don’t know what to say about this case. The killer of four innocent college students is on the loose, and hopefully when they find whoever had done this gets put away without seeing the light of day again.
This case is chilling. I pray they find the killer soon. Because stabbing is such an up close and personal type of crime I suspect someone who knew them and had maybe been rejected somehow. This is the stuff of horror movies. Godspeed to the investigators.
See folks? Guns do NOT kill people - PEOPLE kill people and they can use anything they can find to do it.
Don't allow your 2nd Amendment rights to be violated as that may just save you in a case like this.
Is no one considering the possibility of a drug cartel retaliation?
@@Faristol7 Wow.
@@DiamondGirl333 l know - 'wow'!. But that would be a 'revenge crime' for whatever.......It would also explain why no clues were left. Professional hitmen
@@Faristol7 if there's any evidence of such a connection it's probably being investigated. It's a little bit of a leap to make such an assumption without significant evidence.
Sounds personal.
There is another logical answer. 🤔 a person has come forward on social media claiming to be a friend of one of the surviving roommates and the person that initially talked to 911 from roommates phone. This is how they said it went down.
The surviving roommates went to the second floor and saw Ethan outside of Xana’s bedroom, and it was carnage. They also saw that the sliding glass door was open. They panicked and ran out the front door and in their extreme distress immediately fainted. A friend arrived and saw the girl fainted, picked up the surviving roommates phone and called 911 explaining that someone was unresponsive - referring to the surviving roommate, NOT referring to any of the 4 victims as this person had not entered the house yet and had no knowledge of the carnage inside. If this turns out to be factual it makes perfect sense.
If this horrific case goes unsolved it will be in large part due to the police not releasing enough details to the public! This video is the best explanation I've seen on this case- it seems like the news has next to nothing to report. Even if, heck- especially if- they have a prime suspect, they should put some more info out there so people can be on the lookout.
Who would ever want to rent that house after this horrendous crime.
I'd burn it down.
I think they will have to raze that house. Too horrible of a crime to simply rehab it. There is no way I would ever want my daughter living in that house. My heart hurts for the parents of those kids. I pray they find the killer(s) and sentence them to death. Unsure if Idaho still has it though.
It will have to be demolished
My boyfriend works for University of Idaho. He lives in Moscow. I go down and stay with him every other week. I can tell you its just not the same town right now
Great video. 👍 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great job guys
This is a real life horror movie.
Thanks Chris 😊
I loved your shorter version. Straight and to-the-point.
With that much blood from 4 fatally stabbed victims one would assume the footprint blood trail would be visible beyond the outdoor property. This will be more difficult because hunting is big part of Idaho culture. So I'm sure many people own hunting knives. I agree it is probably someone who has been in the house before and may have not known the main level was occupied by two more people. Unbearably tragic.
The first thing that came to my mind when I first heard it was, how is it possible for anyone to murder FOUR young and strong people (maybe a bit drunk and intoxicated buy still) by stabbing each one so many times?? He went through them one after the other and none noticed anything? Thanks Chris for this great recap, it's the only one that actually makes sense, you should consider writing for some TV channel and show them how it's done ... 😁
You’re the only one besides me that I have seen besides me, I said and still say the exact same thing! People like Christina Randall are over looking this very crucial point! People have gotten so desensitized
This is pure speculation but I recently watched a CSI episode that was eerily familiar and the killer hit a house that was shared by 6-7 young showgirls and one boyfriend of one of the girls. He first herded the girls (one-by-one) into a single room with a gun pointing at them and tied them up. Then he took the girls out one at a time to a different room and killed them with a knife.
Maybe the killer was inspired by that episode? Maybe it's purely coincidence? But that is how the killer in the episode was able to subdue 5 "young/strong, and in a few cases, slightly intoxicated early-20s co-eds". 🤷🏼♀️
CSI S07E18 "Empty Eyes".
Are you going to do a follow up now that they have a suspect?
I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but regardless, I wanted you to know, that it’s currently 4:45 am I’m in a hotel room and put Idaho Murders college kids recap in the search bar to see what came up… in the results I was scrolling as I wasn’t interested in 95% of the results. I started to put my phone down and I saw this video and immediately clicked it to watch as your videos are absolutely fantastic, keep doing you, thank you…
Great video
Such horrific murders. My deepest sympathy goes out to the families of the victims. Really isn't enough info being made public to make any speculations. Just hoping the police have some leads they're keeping to themselves and find the killer soon. Not knowing if the victims were targeted or random would make me a nervous wreck if I had loved ones in that area.
My husband went to WSU in Pullman Washington 10 miles away from Moscow, ID, this one has him shaken one of my nieces is at WSU as well 😢R I P kids, you didn’t deserve anything like this 😢💔
Oooh tricky one thanks Chris
Okay, so just over the wkend a ring doorbell clip was submitted by an unknown resident of Moscow, Idaho. In the clip it shows a still picture of a white male who appeared to be wearing a black mask or his face was painted black. He ran up and rang the doorbell then reached for the knob to check if it were unlocked. In this case it was locked so he then took off.
I can not recall when the recording had taken place but I do know it was right before that horrible night.
Also, a retired general has come forward to say that was a military grade knife who the common folk would not have access to getting a hold of. ❤
This brutal attack and deaths horrific. My hope and prayers are they find the murderer ASAP.!

Chris what do you think about this Case? 💔
Thanks for the recap.
I'm going to offer a hypothesis, but I consider this idea to be very preliminary. In many ways, I expect to be proved wrong at some point.
I think someone came to the house to kill one of the two women upstairs. I don't know whether he really knew that much about the house or whether he's just a proficient killer. He got into their room and killed them both. In the commotion, they made enough noise that Ethan and/or Xana heard something. I think Ethan came into the living room to start to investigate and saw the killer coming down the stairs and covered in blood. I think he rushed back towards Xana's room and the two of them tried to resist the killer in her room. I think that the killer killed both of them in the room and then escaped the house. I'm not sure that the killer locked all of the bedroom doors. I've heard that the two surviving roommates eventually opened a door and saw a scene of horrible bloodshed. They ran outside while calling 9-1-1, but the one talking to the dispatcher fainted as she talked. Another friend picked up the phone and completed the call.
I'm not sure whether I believe that the killer is really only twenty or twenty-one years old. I've heard that Kaylee and Madison were in the same bed. I'm sure that when they first awoke during the attack, they thought that someone was playing a prank on them and just going too far. By the time that they realized that they were mortally wounded, they were too weak to fight effectively. Even so, I think someone would have to be very confident and very skilled to attack two women at once with a knife. Likewise, the killer disabled Ethan before Xana could call 9-1-1. Maybe she was frozen in terror and didn't try to call, but many people are pretty good about doing something with their phones in any situation. Ethan seemed to be a fairly fit guy, and for the killer to neutralize him quickly also points to skill with the knife and physical strength. This kind of knife skill and likely physical strength makes me think that the killer is a little older than early twenties. Granted, some killers can be very proficient at a very young age. I'm just struck by what seems to be tremendous skill, strength, and confidence in his attacking all of these people with a knife. Maybe he also used a Taser or stun gun. I can understand the police holding back that information.

@@wordwizard3912 I was wondering the same thing.
@@wordwizard3912 If I understand correctly, one of them was in the process of moving out of the apartment. I think her bed had been moved to wherever she was going, but she was spending the night there. The girls were close, and they decided to share the other's bed.
All of this is internet lore at this point. Maybe this information is wrong. Time may answer these questions.
The other two roommates door was locked so he gave up as time was running out…the guy on surveillance is the one suspected. Apparently his parents are very very wealthy and important people. They are also his alibi.
The layout of their house is very weird and it’s suspected that the person knew the layout. This guy lived directly behind them and is on a video at parties in the girls house.
It had to have been someone who not only knew them but had also been in the house. It’s likely the person had been to the house for the parties they threw but maybe wasn’t close with them. Considering the door being locked to the bottom floor and the dog… I hope the families find justice and peace 🙏🏻
So scary.
RIP angels.💔💔💔💔
Apparently the four victims did not lock the bedroom doors before they went to sleep. I have shared a house a couple of times and ALWAYS locked my bedroom door. That might have prevented the killer from easily accessing the bedroom, but who knows?
Unfortunately, with all the activity in discovering the bodies and all, I'm sure it would be quite difficult to ascertain which footprints are the murderer's. It seems that nowadays you need to have security cameras around the whole property. Although that doesn't prevent a crime; just gives a clue as to who might have committed it.
Such a sad situation - may God bless the victims and may they rest in peace.
