MOSCOW, IDAHO: The quadruple murders at the University of Idaho on November 14 sent shock waves across the small community of Moscow, Idaho. The victims were identified as Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves the next day. The brutal murders occurred at 1122 King Road, where the four victims were stabbed to death in their sleep. Now, the owners of the house have to decide what will happen to the already notorious residence.
Daily Mail reported that co-owners Dan Estey and Scott Perky, who now reside in Colorado, must choose between demolishing the home, turning it into a memorial, or cleaning it up and renting it out once more. MEAWW previously reported that a web sleuth claimed the house was listed on a renting site. However, Perky and Estey, who are listed as the property's most recent owners, are keeping quiet, according to Daily Mail. Apparently, Estey has even advised a neighbor to remain silent if journalists approached.

The police have completed their forensic examination of the home, which involved gathering important evidence like blood, hair, and fingerprint samples, taking photographs, and bagging any objects that might contain the DNA of the killer.
The victims' possessions were boxed up and sent back to their families. The as-yet unresolved case currently has 48 FBI agents and 28 members of the Idaho State Police investigating under enormous pressure from the media and the community.
Additionally, the investigation has been hampered by unfounded theories spread online by amateur sleuths. Authorities have already warned against false information being spread about the case and have threatened to take action against those who are harassing those connected to the case.
As a team of professionals sifts through numerous hours of film that residents and business owners have supplied, Moscow police and the FBI are working together to crack the case. As previously reported, sources suggest the FBI may be able to help the police analyze cell tower data and potentially nab a suspect.
