Former FBI investigator on Idaho murder mystery: 'This will take a while'
Former FBI investigator Bill Daly on the investigation into the Idaho college murders and why it is taking so long for police to generate leads.
FIRST ON FOX: MOSCOW, Idaho — The two sororities to which three of the slain University of Idaho students belonged are on disciplinary probation, according to community accountability records.
Kaylee Goncalves, 21, was a member of Alpha Phi, while Xana Kernodle, 20, and Maddie Mogen, 21, were members of Pi Beta Phi.
Of 10 sororities recognized by the University of Idaho, Alpha Phi and Pi Beta Phi are the only two listed as on probation for health and safety reasons, which refers to "violations or concerns regarding risk management, alcohol/drugs, or hazing."

In addition to being on probation with the university, Alpha Phi is also on a "restorative plan" with the national organization. Pi Beta Phi is in "good standing" with the sorority's headquarters.

Kernodle was at the Sigma Chi house hours before the murders with her boyfriend, 20-year-old Ethan Chapin, a member of the fraternity who was also stabbed to death on Nov. 13.
Sigma Chi is listed as in "good standing" with both the University of Idaho as well as the national headquarters.

The couple returned to Kernodle's off-campus residence, less than half a mile away from the fraternity house, around 1:45 a.m.
While Kernodle and Chapin were at Sigma Chi, Goncalves and Mogen went to Corner Club from roughly 10:00 p.m. on Nov. 12 to 1:40 a.m. on Nov. 13. The local bar was described by a fellow University of Idaho student as "the heart of Greek life on campus" with capacity crowds on most Fridays and Saturdays.

Madison Moye, a fellow student and neighbor, previously told Fox News Digital that nothing was out of the ordinary and she saw Mogen at the bar "just laughing with all her friends."
"It was just a normal night in Moscow," Moye, a 21-year-old sophomore, told Fox News Digital this week. "Moscow is a safe place. Nothing like this ever happens … I didn’t think anything of it."
