University of Idaho student killings: Officials investigating claim 1 victim had stalker

Officials delivered an update on Wednesday regarding the killings of four University of Idaho students, who were found dead in their rental house.

Late Tuesday, police said detectives have looked extensively into information that one of the victims had a stalker and have not been able to verify it. Authorities have said they have no suspect or weapon more than a week after the Nov. 13 killings shook the Idaho Panhandle town of 25,000 residents.

The four students were stabbed to death in their beds and were likely asleep when they were attacked, a county coroner told a cable news channel earlier this week.

In an evening statement also delivered earlier in the week, Moscow Police Department confirmed the coroner's report that the victims were likely asleep and that some victims had defensive wounds. Police additionally said there were no signs of sexual assault.

Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt also told NewsNation on Thursday that each victim suffered multiple stab wounds from a “pretty large knife.”

“It has to be somebody pretty angry in order to stab four people to death,” Mabbutt told NewsNation. The victims were stabbed in the chest and upper body, the coroner said.

The victims are Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.
