Ever since, her parents have been fighting city and state leaders for an explanation.

"Any time anything was filed in the case, whether it was routine or not, it was always sealed. It was always kept from the public," Greenlee told Fox News Digital. "And we'd always get these emails from people saying, ‘Why is this?’ And other reporters would tell us, ‘This is so strange. This has not happened in any other case. Why isn’t someone doing something about this?'"

Families of Idaho student murder victims challenge plan to demolish crime scene
The University of Idaho's plans to raze the off-campus house where four students were murdered is raising objections from families of the victims who want the house to remain standing with the pending trial of accused killer Bryan Kohberger.
"The university asked for the families’ opinions on the demolition and then proceeded to ignore those opinions and pursue their own self-interests," Shanon Gray, an attorney for the family of Kaylee Goncalves, one of the stabbing victims, told the Idaho Statesman in an email. "The home itself has enormous evidentiary value as well as being the largest, and one of the most important, pieces of evidence in the case."
Work crews are parked outside 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho, June 27, 2023. The property was slated for demolition after the homeowner donated it to the University of Idaho following the Nov. 13, 2022, murders of students Madison Mogen, 21, Kaylee Goncalves, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Ethan Chapin, 20, inside the home.
