Police release map in desperate search for leads in University of Idaho murders

4 Moscow, Idaho, student murders seem 'personal,' the coroner told a local news outlet

Moscow, Idaho, police are asking for the public's help in solving the baffling murders of four college students in a home near campus over the weekend.

"Detectives working on the University of Idaho homicides are seeking additional tips and leads to further the investigation," reads a post, accompanied by a map, that went up on the City of Moscow Police Department's Facebook page on Friday afternoon. 

"Right now, all options are on the table. We haven’t excluded anything yet." 

— Aaron Snell, communications director for Idaho State Police 

The aerial map includes pinpoints showing the victims' final movements before they were brutally killed inside a home at 1122 King Road near the university's fraternity row on Sunday.

Ethan Chapin, 20; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were attacked with an "edged weapon," likely a knife, between 3-4 a.m. according to police.

He said that investigators had not zeroed in on a motive, identified a person of interest or determined if there was a single assailant.

"Right now, all options are on the table. We haven’t excluded anything yet," Snell said. "We have not come to any conclusion yet, and I know that’s frustrating to the public, but this is a very complex and difficult case."

Police came upon the horrifying scene at about noon after responding to a 911 call that reported an "unconscious individual" at the address

Authorities haven't disclosed the identity of the caller or a reason for the delay in placing the call.
