MOSCOW, IDAHO: The murders of four University of Idaho students, Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, in the early hours of November 13 is still a mystery with no clue of who the killer is, where the weapon is, and what was the motive behind the quadruple murder. And now that it has been revealed that a team of experts will start cleaning the house at 1122 King Road, online sleuths are left to speculate about the case's evidence and outcome.
After going through 20,000 tips and questioning 300 people, Moscow Police Chief James Fry announced on Thursday, December 29, that a private company will disinfect the blood-stained three-story Idaho house. He said, "Starting Friday morning [December 30] we're going to be bringing in a professional cleaning crew to go to the residence. Part of the reason we're doing that is because of the biohazards, as well as chemicals that were used during the investigation." Moscow police said there's "no timeline for completion" of the cleaning "but the property will be returned to the property management company when finished," as per ABC.

'What point in an investigation this is typically done?'
Following the update, many were left curious about the outcome of the case. Taking it to Reddit, one of the users wrote, "Does anyone with LE or similar background know at what point in an investigation this is typically done? I'm going to choose to believe this means they're confident they have every last bit of evidence they need to bring justice for Xana, Ethan, Maddie and Kaylee." To which, one responded by saying, "This means they’ve cased every part of the house and taken every single sliver of DNA and evidence. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they know that they have what they need, it just means that they have every bit of evidence the house has to give." Another said, "LE probably finally okayed it to the homeowner, where forensic cleaning might be covered by insurance. It may also be a hint that it’ll be rented out again or sold, in time."
'Hope they tear the house down'
A keen follower of the case continued to say, "Sounds like they got everything they need from it now. Hopefully, this means they know who did this horrendous thing. Continued prayers to all loved ones and the people affected by all of this personally," an individual suggested, "I hope they tear the house down." Another user wrote, "They have probably combed that scene over and over again including photos and video takes, but it still makes me anxious when crime scenes are cleaned up and (forgive the morbid moment here) bodies are cremated before a crime is solved. Hopefully, they really collected EVERYTHING that could possibly be important, ever." While one asked, "Wouldn’t they have someone from forensics there just to make sure nothing was/is missed? I would at least hope this is protocol."
Police have suspects
A former NYPD sergeant Joseph Giacalone said, as previously reported, "I think they do have suspects of people they think are involved in this crime. Whether it’s an individual or Individuals, I do think they have a focus on specific people. The reason why I think that way is because of the DNA and all the different things they have taken out of the house." He further added, "I think they would try to maybe key in on a couple of people. You have gotta remember, cell phone records, internet records, we saw video surveillance which I refer to as the three forensic horsemen. They are putting these pieces together."
