According to the police, Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Ethan Chapin and Xana Kernodle were stabbed several times on November 13, between 3 am and 4 am. The other two roommates were also inside the home but were sleeping when the incident happened. It was also reported that Goncalves called her ex-boyfriend Jack DuCoeur several times before they were murdered. Mogen also called Jack several times.
During a press conference on Sunday, November 20, police revealed that they have received around 646 tips and had conducted over 90 interviews regarding the case. Police Chief James Fry also asked for help from the public and said, "Anyone who has observed any notable behavior or has any video surveillance or can provide relevant information about these murders please call our tip line."
Previously, in an interview with News Nation, Latah County Coroner Cathy Mabbutt shared details about the autopsy report of the slain students. She said, “It was late at night or early in the morning so it seems likely maybe they were sleeping. There were multiple stab wounds on them and most of them had just one that was the lethal stab wound. The fatal ones were to the chest area, the upper body area. It was a pretty large knife so it’s really hard to call them puncture wounds. It has to be somebody that is pretty angry in order to stab four people to death.”
