MOSCOW, IDAHO: Moscow police are yet to identify a suspect in the shocking November 13 murders of four University of Idaho students. Ever since the tragic incident, internet sleuths have been churning out one bizarre, unproven theory after another. Some of them recently discovered that house 1122 King Road, where the grisly murders took place, is up for rent, hardly a month into the killings.

Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, and Madison Mogen, 21, were all asleep in their beds when they were fatally stabbed on November 13. With several suspects ruled out and no arrests yet, the case has grown increasingly challenging and delicate for the police, particularly in the face of mounting pressure from the victims' relatives and the community as a whole.

Web sleuths have discovered that the murder house, 1122 King Road, is now available for accommodation for students studying at the University of Idaho. The screenshots of an ad shared on Twitter claimed, "Moscow is regarded as a safe suburb," much to the internet's consternation.

A user tweeted, "1122 king road is up for rent, it seems. I guess there are some renovations that has to be done before you can move in. But for now LE still holds it #Idaho4 #IdahoFour #idahohomicides #IdahoStudents" Another wrote, "I totally understand that they want to lease out the rooms but they could have left the 'Moscow is safe' out of the add maybe? #Idaho #idaho4 #idahohomicides #IdahoStudents."

The ad that was shared read, "Moscow is regarded as a safe suburb on the eastern edge of Idaho near the state of Washington. This affordable city houses the University of Idaho and its many educational buildings and amenities such as the University of Idaho Golf Course, Arboretum & Botanical Garden, and Kibbie Dome."

The ad continues, "Delectable restaurants and small businesses around the city, Moscow's commercial district Is just as thriving as its residential neighborhoods. After you've found your affordable apartment in the suburbs of Moscow, stop by Tapped, Bucer's Coffee House Pub, or Slice and Biscuit for delicious cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere."

"Moscow has about everything you could need right in town, offering a small-town feel you won't want to miss," it adds.

Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, the slain students' housemates, allegedly discovered the bodies when they awoke hours after the killings and dialed 911. According to Idaho police, they are not suspects, as reported by MEAWW.
