How are we so sure it was only one killer?? TIA
Same credentials although I’ve been here much longer.I lived here for close to a decade and worked at UI.
The town is a mix of college students, religious cults/groups (google "Christ Church"), and faculty/staff tied to either the University of Idaho or Washington State University 6 miles next door.
There are tensions between Christ Church and the community, which have unfortunately been publicized in national and international media.
There is no real animosity against the college students and locals. People understand college students contribute greatly to the local economy. The students are usually not super disruptive. Parties tend not to seep into the local community.
Area is not affluent, though housing prices have skyrocketed in recent years, making Moscow and Pullman nearly unaffordable for many folks. EMSI and Schweitzer Engineering are the other two big employers in town, or were when I lived there.
Crimes of this magnitude are pretty unusual, though there were several mass shootings and a murder suicide involving a UI professor/student in recent times.
In terms of demographics and unusual history, the county (Latah) is the only democratic voting county in Idaho (thanks to the university community). The state is very gun happy; you can open carry around town, and conceal carry all around campus (in classrooms, for instance). Lots of people have guns/weapons. There are hate and white supremacy groups not far out of town. Coeur d'Alene (CDA), which isn't very far from Moscow, has historically been home to the Aryan Nations. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, there were a series of murders committed by an assumed serial killer. There have been a few documentaries and podcasts about these killings. They are usually referred to as the Lewis Clark Valley murders. They remain unsolved.
I never got the sense that drugs were rampant on campus. Washington State U. tends to have more affluent students from Seattle, and there have been drug busts over there. If there were drug busts at UI, I haven't heard of them. I think the drinking is heavy, but probably not anything worse than other college campuses.
Or just plain likes to kill with a knife, had a plan to do so and was determined to carry it off.Perhaps this has been said on the other threads (I've read them, but I don't recall every detail), but another thing that has stood out to me as a former resident of Idaho/Moscow is that lots of Idahoans have guns and weapons in their homes. People are allowed to conceal carry in the classroom and all-around campus, and open carry is not unusual to see in the stores/restaurants around town.
Whoever entered the home either knew there were not weapons inside of it or was so angry/enraged that they did not care if there were weapons there.
Couldn’t have put it together better than thisFirst time poster here...
I've been following this case since the beginning and the scenario that makes the most sense to me, right now, is that of a scorned ex. Of the 6 people that we know where in the house that night, the 4 that were murdered had something obvious in common. Long-standing, close relationships with one-another. I believe the suspect knew where his intended targets would be sleeping. He waited for them to retreat to their rooms, in order to avoid detection by the a 1st floor (basement) roommates. If you look at the pictures posted earlier, of the floor-plan, you'll see that the stairwell to the 1st floor (basement) is directly off of the living room.
We know that the calls from K to J were in regards to their shared pup... Did J have the dog that night? Was he supposed to drop the dog off but never did and that's reason for the late night calls from K and M? Why would K call J about their dog at that hour unless something was up. Did he refuse to bring the dog back? DId he take the dog while they were out?
We also know from K's parents that she was in town to show M her new car. How did J take this? If what K's parent's have said is true, that K and J had plans to get back together, don't you think it would make sense that K would also be excited to show J, as well?
I've dated a few "nice guys" that turned into complete psychopaths once their insecurities were triggered, or they felt as though they were losing me. Their anger/blame extended to anyone close to me, as they were perceived as a threat.
Obviously, this is all MOO, but I think whoever did was angry at all of the 4 victims, with K being the common denominator.
Was it released to his co-owner? The x-boyfriend...
She had a job. The range Rover was used. She was graduating in December with a job lined up. Car was a graduation gift or new job sign on bonus? Moo. Many parents give their kids their used car when they buy themselves a new one. Again, moo.Did we ever hear more details about the Range Rover Kaylee recently bought? Might have missed it but it sounds like she didn't have a job... A car is a huge purchase for a college student, especially if she didn't have a steady job. Curious where that money came from
I found it, thank you. No need to post again.Oh no!I just posted it again here on this thread minutes ago-
Perhaps they have someone in mind, found these tracks and were trying to match them to their suspects car. I found it odd too they were looking at these tracks that could have been old.Maybe it was something that wasn't normal at that residence. Motorcycle, Bicycle, Truck?
I agree. I think this person could do something like this again. I hope they are captured soon.Or just plain likes to kill with a knife, had a plan to do so and was determined to carry it off.
At the same time, we only know the cause of death. We don’t know if he bludgeoned or slugged them, as well. IMO MOO
I think this is a very dangerous individual.
I also don't believe it to be blood. It could be from a sealant applied to the sill gasket. I can't believe the blood would seep through the wall, past the sill, past the sill gasket and still be in a drip stage. I am familiar with how homes are constructed. There would have to be a serious defect it liquid freely runs from the inside to the outside along the foundation. JMOYou can see it originates from under the siding and runs down the foundation. Whatever it is appears to come from within the house. It's definitely not rust. And if it's paint it came from within. if paint can run off the floor and down the foundation, so could blood. Imo.
in my experience most dealers don’t want people to use venmo as it’s easily traceable and if they do it would definitely be on privateI believe this was already addressed via Ethan’s Venmo account transactions
Wow, where was that reported?Upstairs was bloodier.
iirc nobody is 100% sure. It's just an assumption, but LE probably has their reasons to assume this.How are we so sure it was only one killer?? TIA
I think that Ethan was just there at the wrong place wrong time, since he wasn't a resident of the house and just sleeping over with Xana. The target(s) must've been the girls.Everyone keeps assuming the 2 girls especially Kaylee were the targets.But it could just as well been Ethan,Xana or both.
