In the early morning hours of November 13, 2022, four University of Idaho students—Kaylee Goncalves (21), Madison Mogen (21), Xana Kernodle (20), and Ethan Chapin (20)—were brutally stabbed to death in an off-campus rental home at 1122 King Road in Moscow, Idaho. The gruesome killings, which occurred in a three-story house where five female students lived, shocked the small college town, which had not seen a homicide since 2015. Two other roommates, Bethany Funke and Dylan Mortensen, survived the attack, with Mortensen reporting seeing a masked intruder with “bushy eyebrows” leaving the scene. The murders sparked national attention, fueled by weeks of speculation and fear as police initially released limited details. Investigators eventually identified a suspect through DNA evidence found on a KA-BAR knife sheath at the crime scene, surveillance footage of a white Hyundai Elantra, and cellphone data, leading to the arrest of Bryan Kohberger on December 30, 2022, in Pennsylvania
