Another update given by the journalist was, "Police say In mid-October, two males were seen inside a local business; they parted ways, and one male appeared to follow Kaylee inside the business and as she exited to walk toward her car. The male turned away, and it did not appear he made any contact with her." The police also asserted it to be an isolated incident. They also claimed there was no evidence to point out that they were involved in the murders. Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Madison Mogen, 21, their roommate Xana Kernodle, 20, and her boyfriend, Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death on November 13. 

Brian stated, "Detectives contacted both males and learned the two were attempting to meet women at the business, this was corroborated through additional investigation. Based on available information, detectives believe this was an isolated incident and not an ongoing pattern of stalking." He then added, "Police say no evidence suggests the two males were involved in the murders."

According to Daily Mail, the release sent out by the police indicated the presence of a dog. It stated, "During the search of the home, a dog was found in a room where the crimes had not been committed." It claimed, "Officers did not find any evidence on the dog and there was no indication the animal had entered the crime scene. The dog was taken to Animal Services and released to a responsible person." Though police have given out some of the investigation updates they are yet to name or even indicate a person of interest in the case. 

Kaylee and Madison were murdered in the third floor of the building where as Ethan and Xana were killed in the second floor of the house. The release also claimed, "We believe someone has information that will add context to the picture investigators are creating of what occurred that evening. Our focus is the investigation, not the activities. Your information, whether you believe it is significant or not, might be one of the puzzle pieces that help solve these murders." Autopsies of the four victims confirm they were stabbed to death with a fixed-blade knife and the investigation team is now engaged to check with local stores if any military knives have been sold recently.
