MOSCOW, IDAHO: Earlier in December, cops investigating the Idaho quadruple murders shared a bodycam footage, which was taken around the same time when the four youngesters were killed in the early hours of November 13. Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves and Xana Kernodle were reportedly sleeping when an unidentified killer(s) claimed their lives in an off-campus house, not very far from the University of Idaho.
The footage, which was taken very close to the horror house, shows cops stopping three students for apparent underage drinking. The confrontation reportedly happened at approximately 2.50 am on November 13 while it has been said that the murders took place between 3 am and 4 am. Now, speculations have been made that the bodycam clip may have also caught a possible scream.

A report by The Daily Mail said that the alleged scream was picked by the police camera at around 3:12 am. The publication also stated that, “some believe that the sound, which is high-pitched though barely audible even with the volume turned up loud, is a distant scream - while others think it may be the sound of a car tires peeling away,” before adding that the investigators were hopeful to get useful information from it.
Earlier, police had clarified that the video and students who were stopped, have no relation to the murders. At the time, the Moscow Police Department had claimed, “Investigators working on the current homicide case are aware of the footage, they have reviewed it and all the details associated with it and have determined it is not related.”
Besides, true crime vlogger Olivia Vitale had also commented on the footage, which caught a few more people in the background too. She told Fox News, “During the timeframe of the murders, there were people in the general. Between the people with law enforcement and the people in the background of the body cam footage, that is about half a dozen people. The importance is they may have witnessed something unbeknownst to them.”
These new details came as Kaylee Goncalves’ mother Kristi suggested that she’s losing hope in the case. During an interview with TODAY, the grieving mother said that the slow pace of the probe is giving her “left in the dark” feeling. She also shared, “It’s sleepless nights. It’s feeling sick to your stomach. It's so many emotions that I’ve never, ever endured in my life, ever.”
But according to Robbie Johnson, a public information officer for the Moscow Police Department, officers are “in a really good place in this investigation where we have a lot of leads, a lot of places to go as far as investigation.” He reportedly added, “We have a lot more to do, but we’ve collected a lot of evidence, and we’re continuing to move forward with that.”
