MOSCOW, IDAHO: The deaths of four University of Idaho students have jolted the community's conscience. Kaylee, 21, Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, were stabbed to death at an off-campus three-story leased home in the early morning hours of November 13. Law enforcement has yet to identify the suspect(s) in the case. Authorities have described the gruesome scene in which the students were killed as the "worst they've ever seen."

Web sleuths have been independently researching the Idaho murder case online and have generated a number of theories regarding the four victims. Recently, a Twitter user put forth a new theory claiming that Kaylee's uncle is involved in drugs.

Who is Nathan Goncalves?

The user claimed that Nathan Goncalves is Kaylee Goncalves's uncle, but there's no confirmation regarding the information or any certainty that it's actually connected to the case. The Twitter user wrote, "Online rumors about Kaylee Goncalves' uncle being involved in drugs are circulating. Nathan Goncalves was convicted for delivery of meth."

The user has posted an image that reads, "IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON." The post further reads, "Bridgewater, J. - Nathan D. Goncalves appeals his jury trial conviction for delivery of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) under RCW 69.50.401(1). ' We hold that substantial evidence does not support Goncalves's conviction. We reverse and vacate his conviction."

As mentioned earlier, these theories are mere speculation and there's no confirmation of the above information.

Police expressed their concerns about the incident again on December 1, even though they are still unsure of whether the attacker specifically targeted the students or their apartment. The public has been urged to come forward with any information even though no suspects have been named or a murder weapon found.
