IDAHO, MOSCOW: Moscow police are yet to unravel the mystery behind the horrifying killings of four University of Idaho students on November 13. Since the gruesome murders, internet detectives have kept positing one bizarre theory after another to explain the incidents at 1122 King Road, where the murders occurred. Some of them are now questioning the authenticity of some Daily Mail photos showing "blood dribbling down the side of the house."

A Twitter user recently shared a picture of the murder house that was posted by the Daily Mail and claimed it was fake and photoshopped. The user wrote, "That is a photoshopped image from the Daily Mail - #Idaho4"

The claim was in response to another Twitter user who asked in journalist Brain Entin's Twitter thread, "Just watching your special. The blood dripping on the foundation - is that from the victims bedrooms on the second and third floor? It dripped down from a second or third floor?? Did you see bloody foot prints in the snow?"

DailyMail exclusively shared these images, and there is no basis to confirm the above details, as these are merely speculations made by social media users.

With multiple suspects ruled out and no arrests so far, police have been fighting an uphill battle, particularly in light of mounting pressure from the relatives of the victims and the community at large. Only two of the housemates survived the carnage. Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke allegedly discovered the dead bodies when they awoke several hours later and dialed 911. The Idaho Police Department has confirmed that they are not suspects.

Cops are investigating with the assistance of the FBI as the higher intelligence authorities are going through thousands of video clips for clues. The Moscow police have also issued a warning to web sleuths, and any false information or defamatory statements about anyone related to the case can lead to police action.
