MOSCOW, IDAHO: A former Idaho attorney general and lieutenant governor has chosen to speak on the gruesome murders of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen, and Kaylee Goncalves. All four students of the University of Idaho were brutally murdered in their sleep on November 13, and the police believe that the murderer, who is still at large, used a fixed-blade knife for the crime. Dave Leroy has now spoken on the matter. 

Dave Leroy, former lieutenant governor of Idaho, attorney general, and Ada County prosecuting attorney, has told Fox News Digital that he has been in the house located on King Road where the murders took place. Four years ago, Leroy was at the University during homecoming and was invited to the house at the request of his client's son who was living there at the time. He explained the outline of the house and said that updates have been made since then. He told the outlet, "There are two separate entries and this house lays against a hill."

Leroy continued, "If a perpetrator went into the lower level off the parking lot, they would enter into a general living room area and a kitchen area with a couple of bedrooms and the back of a first floor. If the perpetrator entered into the second floor, they would have done so higher up the hill to almost a separate section of the house, which contains bedrooms and bathrooms on the second and third floor, where apparently, according to reports, most of the killings took place."

Leroy believes that the attacker didn't necessarily go downstairs again after the crimes were committed. He said, "If two people were in the lower level, it would not be necessary for the killer to go downstairs or to pass by their bedrooms when the crime was committed if they would access into and out of the upper floor against the higher up on the hill section of the house."

The former attorney general strongly believes that the perpetrator entered the house through the back door according to the information provided by the officials. He said, "That would be my speculation, but I certainly would defer to the police investigation on that. It is, however, a logical conclusion derived from the fact that the homicides were committed on the upper floors and people were apparently left undisturbed in the lower floor."
