Four University of Idaho students killings: After lack of arrests, victim’s father feels ‘defeated’

The schoolmates were killed in an off-campus home that has shocked the nation. No one knows if there was one killer or several, and Steve had deferred his daughter’s burial so that the killer doesn’t come across for the funeral posing as a friend.

The police in Moscow have sifted through piles of digital media material numbering 260 and sent out 110 pieces of evidence to a lab for analysis.

Steve is confident of the police doing their job and hopes they can identify the killer. He worries that more people would lose their children, sending them to school, if the killers roam free. Kaylee, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, are the four victims. Madison and Kaylee were inseparable and were always together, whom Steve considered a second child. Ethan and Xana were seeing each other and had returned from a late-night party. Two other students who live upstairs were left unharmed.

The residents of Moscow are in a constant state of fear and have been thinking of self-defence techniques to quell that. Students on the campus are pondering, leaving it to find safer areas to live in. Police are constantly receiving calls from the fear gripped population, around 25,000. Steve can’t imagine that he sent his daughter to school, and she returned in an urn. He now hopes the killer or killers are identified and arrested.
