MOSCOW, IDAHO: Four students of the University of Idaho were brutally stabbed to death on November 13 in their Idaho home. After a rigorous investigation, Bryan Kohberger, a PhD student, was arrested on December 30 for the killing. During the investigation, it came to light that the house where they were killed was regarded as a frat house as the tenants used to host several parties there. Now some Internet users have claimed that slain students hosted a party just two days before the murders which was attended by around 150 people.
Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were found dead on November 13. The two surviving roommates Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke called the police at around 11:58 am, after allegedly discovering Ethan's corpse in the doorway.

'They partied there on November 11'
A Reddit user queried about the last party that took place at the murder house and wrote, "According to Kaylee and Maddie IG's, there was a party the night of November the 11th. You can recognize couch and that "good vibes" wall. Do you think there's a link with the night of the murders (November 12th/13th)?" One person replied on the thread and wrote, "Possibly, if the killer was stalking the house and saw the party, two days later would seem like a good time to attack because the house would be full of DNA not belonging to the occupants."
Another one said, "That house was always full of DNA other than the occupants. I don't think LE would ever try to use/find/test all that's there. It would be impossible." One person claimed that there around 150 people might have visited the house on November 11. The Internet user wrote, "Yeah, that's been spoken about (hearsay) numerous times on/in a different forum, it said to have been upwards of 150 people in and out that afternoon/night (11th) it was said the house at those times was pretty free an open, so I don't even think someone that may have been stalking would have to "hide" if that was the situation. There's so many ins, outs and possibilities surrounding this house, victims, and case."
'They were going to Dylan’s sorority formal'
One person claimed that the slain Idaho victims went to the surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen's sorority formal on November 11 and wrote, "They were going to Dylan’s sorority formal that night. I think the motive is to from 9:00-1:45 with Xana and Ethan. The only person confirming their whereabouts is Bethany." Another one wrote, "I don't think the night of the 11th had anything to do with the murders, whether the victims went to sorority parties or had a large party at home. If BK is the killer I think he planned it much longer than 36 hours. If (this is a big IF because I think LE got their man) BK is in fact innocent then all bets are off concerning Friday night, and the killer could be a person who attended the party."
