There is SO MUCH information going around! Can anyone clarify for me if we know that the killer left DNA on the victims? My recollection is that he/she left DNA under the fingernails of the victims, but now it’s sketchy in my mind.

TIA!

Okay, so now I'm more confused. Regarding X&E timeline. According to this FOX news article "The couple were at Chapin's frat house, Sigma Chi, from 9 p.m. to 1:45 a.m., before returning to Kernodle's home Nov. 13, police previously said". Did they ever say that? Did I miss something?

Idaho murders: Police zeroing in on timeline of two victims who went to frat house

Moscow, Idaho, police said in an interview Tuesday that they "don't have a lot of information" on the movements of Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin before they were killed.

We do not know.

Piggybacking on the Fox News article posted above, I agree that it would be helpful to know why LE has ruled out connections between the murders and various other unsolved crimes that have been mentioned (both in Moscow and out of the area). I'm also curious why certain other crimes around the same time have not be solved (at least publically..?) I can understand why the families would want clarity on that. I just wonder if that information could be given without compromising any of the investigations. I just don't know.

SG also mentioned "crowdsourcing" alibis to the community for verification. Curious to know thoughts on that. I see pros and cons.

After seeing so many cases use home security video from houses even in safe neighborhoods, it's very surprising and frustrating that there doesn't appear to be that much useful footage in the neighborhood.

Has the house been cleaned? Meaning... all blood removed?

Do we know that the use of the knife was not a throat slash? The victims were sleeping or just awakened from sleep according to coroner.

The amount of blood seen on the foundation of the house says to me it was a jugular cut (and that portion of the body would likely be visible to an assailant standing over a sleeping person).

What physical characteristics would be visible, in a perp like that? I do believe many people are capable of making a fatal slash if they have planned it. Pretty sure that many women (including middle aged or older) could do it. I don't think a person needs visible musculature to slash a throat.

The coroner stated that the wounds were to the upper torso or chest area, when she was on Banfield. I do have a link but not sure if NewsNation is considered MSM.

No, that has not been confirmed.

I don't know if this seems hopeful (they are moving on to more intricate parts of the investigation and have leads) or defeatist... :/

Is there some optimism here? Almost seems like it to me and the work progress sounds like things may be moving. Or maybe I'm just hoping!

Nothing has been released.

My guess is the house will be demolished once it's no longer needed for the investigation (which could be a long time). But I doubt anyone will go back to living there... ever

Until the authorities give me a reason for not trusting their alibi checking I am against it. I believe the police along with th FBI.and ISP have it under control.

I would hope so, but there is actually a “fixer upper” type show where people go in and make over some murder houses. I believe Jodi Arias was one of the homes featured. It seems odd but people do live in some of these homes.

What does crowd sourcing alibis mean? Similar to what is going on now on social media by anonymous entities?
