Video shows mystery man with slain Idaho students
Investigators are exploring the possibility that more than one person is behind the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students, which have sent shockwaves through the small college town of Moscow.
Ethan Chapin, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, Xana Kernodle, 20, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21, were stabbed to death inside an off-campus home early on Sunday morning.
Four days on from the murders, the killer or killers remain at large with no arrests made and no suspects named.
The Latah County Coroner’s Office released an official report on Thursday ruling the cause and manner of deaths homicides by stabbing, KTVB reported.
Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson has now said it “certainly is possible” that there may be more than killer out there.
His comments come as officials appeared to walk back their claims that the public is not in danger, with Moscow Police Chief James Fry admitting on Wednesday: “There is a threat out there still”.
All students were stabbed to death, autopsies reveal
Autopsies have been completed on the bodies of the four students stabbed to death inside an off-campus home on Sunday.
The Spokane County Medical Examiner carried out all four autopsies on Wednesday and handed the details to the Latah County Coroner’s Office.
On Thursday, Moscow Police released the findings.
Police had said the victims were stabbed to death with an “edged weapon such as a knife.” The autopsies have confirmed that the official cause and manner of deaths were homicides by stabbing.

Eerie video captures students’ final moments
Eerie video footage has captured the last known movements of two University of Idaho students before they were stabbed to death along with two friends inside their off-campus home.
The video, taken from a Twitch livestream from the GrubTruckers food truck in Moscow, Idaho, shows Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves stopping by for some late-night food in the early hours of Sunday morning.
During the roughly 10-minute stop, the 21-year-old best friends appear to be having a good time, laughing with each other, taking photos and chatting to other students gathered nearby.
A mystery man appears to be with them when they arrive at the truck – but the two young women leave the area alone.

Authorities in Moscow, Idaho, have released very few details bout what happened to the four University of Idaho students who were murdered last weekend.
Ethan Chapin, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle, and Kaylee Goncalves were found dead at a house near the University of Idaho campus on Sunday, mere hours after posting smiling photographs on Instagram.
Police have cautioned the small town of 25,000 people to remain vigilant as perhaps more than one suspect remain at large.
