Idaho murders: Moscow police chief says quadruple murder case ‘is not going cold’


The Moscow, Idaho police chief is remaining confident that a suspect brought to justice, saying that the case surrounding the murder of four University of Idaho students will not go cold during an interview.

Moscow Police Department Chief James Fry told NBC Nightly News on Wednesday that “This case is not going cold.” 

The four University of Idaho students, Ethan Chapin, 20; Xana Kernodle, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were stabbed to death likely while sleeping on Nov. 13 between 3 and 4 a.m. in a Moscow, Idaho, home on King Road the college campus, according to police.

Fry’s comments come as the investigation into the quadruple murder is in its fifth week without a public suspect.

“I know that’s very frustrating. It’s frustrating to family members and community. But our end goal is to bring somebody to justice,” Fry said, commenting on the lack of suspects.

Fry also told NBC News that investigators are receiving “hundreds of tips daily” regarding the murders.
